Dear Editor,
The issue of teenage pregnancy has become a growing concern in our society, and something needs to be done about it. I’ve been working on a community research project which involves creating a Blog- http://societalresearchproblem.blogspot.com/ to identify a community social problem- teenage pregnancy and its impact on schools dropout rates, predicting a solution, making interviews and updates on the causes of the problem, and attempting to solve them.
At this point, I’ve interviewed a librarian who has totally shocked me, by insisting that children be left to experience life, when asked if children be watched closely by their parents in order to prevent teenage pregnancies. I was overwhelmed to discover that this problem was more prevalent in developed countries, particularly the United States. This finding caught my attention, and so I plan on going through various heights in order to meet the goal of reducing teenage pregnancy rates in schools in the Essex County.
The Board of Education can help by insisting that Sex- Aid classes in schools teach students the consequences of having sexual intercourse at a tender age, and supply students at one point with contraceptives.
