Reflection on the impact of teenage pregnancy

Adolescence is a vulnerable time for pregnacy because the developmental tasks of pregnancy are superimposed on those of adolescence. The developmental task of the average adolescent are fourfold:to establish a sense of self-worth or a value system, to emancipate from parents, to adjust to a new body image, and to choose a vocation. Pregnancy may interfere with the development of a healthy sexual relationship and cause difficulty in establishing future intimate relationships if a girl realizes that her current relationship has led to a situation detrimental to her.

Honestly, I am enjoying every piece of information I am learning in this class through Dr. Jhin and from all my classmates sharings.
God bless.. Merry Christmas and happy new year to all!
