The teens pregnancy is not a new occurrence in our society, however, the perception of American society on this topic changed in the last century. Until late 1800’s, main concern about pregnant teen was to be married before baby was born and most of states codes allowed girls as young as 12 to do so (Teen Pregnancy, 2008). However, due to living condition, poor diet and diseases, most of teen girls did not reach physical maturity until late teens which limited number of early pregnancies. In 1900’s, the changes in law resulted in decreased rate of early marriage and pregnancy, until 1940s to 1960s when rate of teens pregnancy drastically increased (to about 70-80 births per 1000). In 1970s to 1990s, with girls reaching puberty in an younger age and increased numbers of people postponing marriage (due to increasing divorce rate, reliable contraceptive methods, seeking education) more single females become mothers.…

Without any further education besides his high school diploma, there was not much he can expect in a job. He didn’t anticipate a high pay job with no degree, but at that time it did not matter as long as there was income coming in for us to plan a future with a baby on the way.…
As a growing and learning student in the modern time, school and extra-curricular activities are a part of my everyday life.

This was never going to be an easy feat for me, I understood that from the beginning.…
