More to come from the previous interview.

The interview I made, proved a lot from what I had stated in the hypothesis written below. As seen, and heard, the adult interviewed, had varied insight on the topic discussed. The interviewed, Alice McMillan, had given an excellent reply to the questions asked, and had seemed enthusiastic when the topic of Teen Pregnancy and It's Impact on School Dropout Rates, was brought up. I learned a lot from the interview, but what I found shocking was that most parents, even when they're aware that their teenagers are sexually active or doomed to having sex, they as a parent wouldn't pry on the lives of their children. As the interviewed had stated, the teenagers should be left to face their own consequences, and parents' closeness would only make their children dependent on them. I also learned that most teenagers who engage in sexual activities are either curious to know what and how it feels like to be engaged in such activity, or they'd been influenced by their friends.
To make matters a lot better, my upcoming interview would be on an actual teenager. In other words, I would be interviewing a teenager-a high school student, in specificity, on their views on the topic. A teenager's perspective is more broader compared to that of an adult who has seen or experienced life through. By interviewing the teenager, I'd be able to get more insight and fully understand the impact teenage pregnancy has on school dropout rates. This is optional, but I might also interview, a teenage couple who have been together for a while, to understand what both partners would go through, if one had been notified that the other was pregnant, and how they'd be able to cope with it, school, and their social lives.
