...Have you ever wondered what type of obstacles teenagers go through to maintain relationships throughout their high school years? Some relationships last for only a few weeks, months or maybe even all of their high school years. From verbal, emotional, and physical abuse to positive and even negative peer pressure they put up with a lot. Teenage relationships play a big role in developing the capacity for long-term, committed relationships in their adulthood. The relationships developed during teen years have a big impact on school life with teen’s academics and the way they play in sports. The relationships teens involve themselves with can negatively affect their academic and social life. It may bring out the worst in them and may cause grades to slip and their outlook on school to change. My fellow class mate Gina stated, “Arguing with my partner during the day causes me to have an attitude at school and may cause me to focus less on my school work.” This causes grades to fall and they may get sidetracked of what really matters because they’re worried about an argument that happened with a peer. School sports also have an effect on teen relationships. My other fellow classmate Monica says, “sports put a damper on my relationship at times because volleyball and football season were at the same time and we barely had time to communicate with each other cause of games, practice and also school work. “But they -found a way to work around it by sitting together at lunch since...

...Desenvolvimento: 1. Origens da corrente artística: Louis Vauxcelles, em 1905, no Salão de Outono, em Paris, ao ver uma obra de Henry Matisse denominou esta forma de pintar como o Fauvismo e os seus criadores de Fauves, que em português significa as feras. Mas o movimento Fauvista não começou em 1905, mas sim no final do século XIX (1898) em França, representado por Paul Gauguin e Vincent Van Gogh, que se opunham a seguir a regra da estética do impressionismo, que se encontrava em vigor na época. O Fauvismo influenciou muito na finalização da arte moderna com a antiga estética vigente, modificando também a ideia de utilização das cores nas artes plásticas, principalmente na pintura. Os princípios deste movimento artístico eram: o intelecto e os sentimentos nada têm a haver com a arte criada; os instintos e as sensações primárias são o que possibilitam a existência desta arte; a cor pura é a mais vista e atrativa em cada obra; as linhas e as cores devem nascer impulsivamente e traduzir as sensações elementares, no mesmo estado de graça das crianças e dos selvagens; baseasse na alegria de viver e nas emoções, não tendo intenção a crítica nem a política. Características da pintura: pincelada violenta, espontânea e definitiva; ausência de espaço livre; cores bem vivas, para se captar a sensação física da cor (mas esta na maioria das vezes não corresponde à realidade); uso exclusivo das cores puras; pintura por grandes manchas...

...DEALING WITH ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG SELECTED MNHS STUDENTS TO PREVENT TEENAGE PREGNANCY CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM: RATIONALE AND BACKGROUND Rationale In the breakthrough of modern age, people have become less disciplined and liberated. Our youth, which is supposed to be the future of our society, have become wayward into the wrong path. They are engaged in criminal activities, vices, dangerous groups and etc. Right now, one of the biggest crisis that we are facing is the increasing percentage of teenage pregnancy. In such a young age, teenagers stop going to school because of unintentionally becoming pregnant. Some may choose to continue going to school but commonly, most of them cease to go to school and choose to stay at home because of certain circumstances such as fearing the judgment of other people. From 2000 to 2010, the number of live births by teenage mothers in the Philippines rose by more than 60 percent, latest data from the National Statistics Office showed. We could somehow conclude that the number of dropouts increased in the past school years. As I cited above, we know that teenage pregnancy is becoming a threat in our academic development. That is why, I propose of implementing rules in dealing with romantic relationships among selected MNHS to prevent teenage pregnancy. I. Statement of the Problem The main problem of the study is to determine the effectiveness of implementing rules in dealing with romantic relationships among selected MNHS...

...Close Family Ties Amid the many changes in Filipino dating culture due to multicultural influences, one thing that hasn’t changed is how Filipinos value their families. Close family ties are an important bond for each member of the family. A guy who wants to date a girl must ask for her parents' permission. In case no permission is granted, it is highly unlikely for the date to actually happen, unless in some cases that the girl and guy sneak out and date out secretly. However, this is morally unacceptable in Philippine culture. Filipino parents are very strict with their children having romantic relationships. Brothers are generally protective of their sisters. Even cousins and other relatives are protective of their young female cousins and relatives. They become more lenient when their daughters, sisters and relatives reach the legal age of 18. When picking up the girl at her home for a date, it is common to provide gifts to the family members (parents, grandparents and siblings) as well. Parents usually want to have some conversation with the guy and ask about his family and educational background before they can go out for a date. First Date The first date is officially a time to get to know each other. The couple ask about each other’s backgrounds and it is highly unlikely to have a passionate kiss after the date. Some girls allow a kiss on the cheek after the first date, but this varies per person and per couple. Some guys don’t even get the...

...Teenage Pregnancy Unit Teenage pregnancy: an overview of the research evidence Introduction In 1999 the government’s ten-year national Teenage Pregnancy Strategy was launched. The main aims of the strategy are to: • Reduce the rate of teenage conceptions with the specific aim of halving the rate of conceptions among under-18s, and to set a firmly established downward trend in the rate of conceptions among under-16s, by 2010 • Increase the participation of teenage parents in education, training and employment to 60% by 2010, to reduce their risk of long-term social exclusion. This briefing presents headline findings from key research relating to teenage pregnancy and parenthood which has emerged (mainly) since the launch of the strategy. The topics covered include research on young people’s sexual behaviour; sources of sex and relationships information; what works in preventing teenage pregnancy; who is at risk of becoming a teenage parent; how to support teenage parents, and many more. It draws on a range of sources including systematic reviews of the effectiveness of prevention and support interventions, national surveys and primary research studies. The emphasis is on the UK and specifically English research. It was compiled by Catherine Dennison, Research Manager supporting the Teenage Pregnancy Unit. Although not representing a systematic or exhaustive search of the published literature, the briefing is intended to be of use to those engaged in implementing the Teenage...

...In the US 1100 teenage girls give birth every day. Which means that 1 out 10 new mothers are teenagers. This is thought to be an even larger issue in developing countries. Due to the fact that teenage mothers are less likely to get a proper education when they have had children young. In the future they will not be able to get any jobs that require higher education, most likely then getting stuck in poverty. Leading to difficulty in providing for her child. As a young girl, I watched a lot of MTV and the show ‘Teen Mom’ was often on. I was interested in these girls and how their lives were changed by their pregnancy. But, as...

...teenage pregnancy is a complex and controversial social issue in the USA of teenage females getting pregnant. In the underdeveloped countries the practice of having teenage pregnancies is not unique but rather is usual since most women are expected to be married and have children before they turn 20. The problem for the society with teenage pregnancies is that teenagers are believed not to be ready emotionally and financially to raise their children even though they are indeed physiologically capable of producing offspring. Teenage girls when getting pregnant typically are involved in some form of school education and do depend on their parents and relatives at least to a certain degree. In most cases the father of the baby in teenage pregnancy is of similar age and thus is also financially and emotionally unprepared to raise a baby. Dependence on his parents is also the fact. The greatest concern in teenage pregnancy is seen when the mother was below the age of consent when the child was conceived while the father was clearly above the age of consent. If a teenage mother chooses not to keep the child she has two options: Abortion. The child is not even born and the pregnancy is interrupted (Edelman, 2003). Adoption. The child is born, yet the mother gives it away. According to various researches in the USA more than 30% of teenage pregnancies result in abortions. At the same time the relationship between a teenage mother and a father usually turns into a single...

...afraid of being called – teenage mother/father? One might ponder that this exposition will exclude men. No. they bring ladies in this scene. The exposition attempts to conduct the teenagers to be reminded of what it is like to live in a more aware, conscious, and fulfilling way. It also serves as one of the guide to more harmonious relationships between young couples and families. Gilapay (2007) states, teens want to act like adults, but the child in them remains. Teen years are a prime time for identity crisis and identity formation. It is also, when pregnancies come into play. According to the World Health Organization, around 21 percent of Filipino Women become pregnant before they turn 19. Cerecero (2009) says, teen pregnancy is an issue that has affected not only our school, but schools across the nation. Although the teen birth rate is slowly falling there still remains an estimated one million teen pregnancies nationwide. Babies born to teenage mothers are more likely to have health problems, suffer from social problems, and do poorly in school. The Problem The main purpose of this study is to explicate teenage pregnancy among women (and men impregnating women) and its effects to the life of teenagers, as a means toward a better understanding of their situation thus giving aid to their acceptance to the society. Specifically, this exposition seeks to answer these questions: 1. What is teenage pregnancy? 2. What are the reasons of teenage pregnancy? 3. What...

...TEENAGE PREGNANCY Introduction One should start by saying that teenage pregnancy is a complex and controversial social issue in the USA of teenage females getting pregnant. In the underdeveloped countries the practice of having teenage pregnancies is not unique but rather is usual since most women are expected to be married and have children before they turn 20. The problem for the society with teenage pregnancies is that teenagers are believed not to be ready emotionally and financially to raise their children even though they are indeed physiologically capable of producing offspring. Teenage girls when getting pregnant typically are involved in some form of school education and do depend on their parents and relatives at least to a certain degree. In most cases the father of the baby in teenage pregnancy is of similar age and thus is also financially and emotionally unprepared to raise a baby. Dependence on his parents is also the fact. Body Teenage pregnancy rates have gone up over the years. This is due to our exposure to sexual content on television and our lack of sexual orientation we give our kids or our parents give us. Teenage pregnancy has been labeled as a major social and health problem and has become a key policy area in several industrialized countries. In England, current policy aims to have teenage pregnancy rates for under-18s by 2010, and to reduce teenage parents’ risk of...

...The Effects of Teenage Relationships Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the same amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they could not ask their parents about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice but then there is the down side when they put pressure on their friends to do something like to smoke, drink, and do drugs. In most cases they tell their friends how to dress and act when around certain people. Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of doing their work. Throughout adolescence, teenagers are positively and negatively impacted by several relationships such as friends, family, and love relationships. Friends have a big influence on teenagers because they can say and do many of things to teenagers who think they were friends. They also start rumors and take their friends girlfriend or boyfriend and have them cheat on their friend. Some go out to drink, smoke, or to do drugs just to have fun but some think of driving home and most teenagers do not even make it to their driveways. Some teenagers who are so depressed about their social problems even think about committing suicide. Most start to hurt others turn into “goth’s” by dressing in all black. Many of depressed people show how they feel by dressing differently...

...This essay will take a position that teenage sexuality does not contribute to the escalating occurrences of teenage pregnancy in the South African context. It will use theory to explain and support the position that has been chosen while also giving examples. Escalating occurrences of teenage pregnancy is a broad social issue and remains to increase in percentages though there are awareness campaigns, adverts and motivational speakers who visit schools annually. This shows that individuals do not acquire new skills unless they are interested or motivated to do so (Vygotsky, 1929). A teenager is someone who is in the middle stage of life, he or she is not considered young or a grown up person (Coon & Mitterer, 2012). Teenagers begin from the...

...This paper focuses on determining the possible reasons for early pregnancy among teenagers. Victims of child abuse and/or neglect are at increased risk for delinquency and running away. However, existing research indicates that the relationship is not inevitable, because the majority of childhood victims do not manifest these problem behaviors. Significantly less is known about connections between childhood victimization and other problem behaviors, such as teenage pregnancy, alcohol and illicit drug use and abuse, and self-destructive behavior. Current knowledge about these outcomes is sparse and only suggestive. Further research is desperately needed to document whether abused and/or neglected children are at increased risk for these adolescent problem behaviors, in comparison to control children and adolescents, and to indicate the extent or magnitude of these relationships. Despite the paucity of research, one can still speculate on some of the potential mechanisms that may link childhood victimization and adolescent problem behaviors (Lamb and Ketterlinus 140). Childhood victimization appears to increase risk for the development of a range of problems in adolescence, including delinquency and violence, running away, sexual promiscuity and teenage pregnancy, and alcohol and drug use and abuse. However, although there are extensive clinical accounts and speculations about the prevalence of these problem behaviors among adolescents who were abused or neglected in childhood, there...
