Abstract |
In the US many teens’ boys get involved sexually active in
relationship at early age because they feel pressured by their peers. It
gives them a sense of masculinity. They end up having sex with their
partners. They become fathers too soon to provide fir their babies. As a
result of that they need to put college on hold and all their dreams so they
can support their child. According to this video about half millions babies
are born to teens parents. Being a teen father is a decision that you have to
live with for the rest of their life. Now, they feel regret because they
couldn’t finish college and they have not enjoyed their teens as they
should. They need to spend a lot of
time with their babies to look after them changing diapers. It costs almost
$5,000 per year to raise a child. Not having even a High School degree is
hard to support a family. According to these teens it is hard to raise a
family and provide for them without a college degree. |
