Teen Pregnancy

Did you know that approximately 750,000 teens become pregnant every year and most didn’t plan on becoming pregnant? Well in this essay i shall share a few methods on how to prevent teen pregnancy from occurring. These methods are Condoms,
Pregnancy Pills or in my opinion the bestest staying abstinence, Because i believe our body is a temple and we should take care of it and keep it sacred.
Condoms, the most common method that teens use. The Condom blocks semen from entering and causing pregnancy. But little do they know, if the condom is not used correctly it may accidentally break or slip and cause pregnancy. Another huge risk is in danger of catching an STD’s (sexual transmitted diseases). Which are infectious diseases that spread from person to person through intimate contact.
Another common known method a lot of teens use is the Birth control pill. The
Birth control pill is a daily pill that contains hormones to change the way the body works and prevent pregnancy. Hormones are chemical substances that control the functioning of the body's organs. In this case, the hormones in the Pill conIf trol the ovaries and the uterus. But as well as the Condoms these pills can also be risky, if the pills are skipped or forgotten, a girl is not protected against pregnancy and she will need a backup form of birth control, such as condoms. Or she will need to stop having sex for a while.
And this is why, i believe staying Abstinence is the best way to go! A person who decides to practice abstinence has decided not to have sex.You don't have to be a virgin to practice abstinence. Sometimes people who have been having sex decide not to continue having sex. Even if a person has been having sex, he or she can still choose abstinence to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in the future.
I strongly believe these methods can help you prevent pregnancy, if these steps are chosen wisely and are done the correct way. I hope this

    The main function of the pill is to prevent pregnancy by stopping ovulation, which occurs when an egg is released from the ovaries during a woman’s monthly cycle. Stopping ovulation means that the ovaries will not release an egg; without an egg, fertilization cannot occur. The hormones in the pill further prevent pregnancy by thickening secretions of mucus around the cervix, making it hard for sperm to reach the uterus. Even if the sperm were to reach the uterus, the hormones in the pill change the lining of the uterine wall, keeping the egg from being…

    Should early sex education programs only teach about abstinence or should they include the facts about contraception too? There is no specific way that it has to be taught but there is a debate on which ways have the best outcome. Abstinence is refraining from having sex and the only way to not get infected with a sexually transmitted disease. On the other hand, contraception is also known as birth control or other devices that help prevent pregnancy but are not one hundred percent effective. In the article “A Debate About Teaching Abstinence,” Deborah Kotz successfully appeals to credibility, logic, and emotion in order to prove a point that early sex…

    With all the emphasis on the importance of using condoms and birth control to ensure safer sex, I feel the intelligent choice of abstinence is being highly overlooked. It is sometimes viewed as old-fashioned and based solely on religion, but in theory it is a plausible decision for one to make. The word abstinence means to abstain or refrain from something. People tend to forget its specific meaning, and feel that those who make this choice judge the ones that do not. Making this choice myself, I will set the record straight that abstinence is strictly a personal choice and others have absolute no influence. Many of my closest friends have chosen to have sex, and I have and always will be there for them no matter what decisions they make. They too stand by me with the decisions I make, despite the fact that they may be different.…

    Birth Control VS Condoms

    Birth control has come a long way. Since 1963, when it was approved by the FDA, women everywhere have been using it to prevent unwanted pregnancies, but are they really that effective? Birth control can be taken in many forms other than a pill, unlike condoms. It can in the form of a patch, an implant, a shot, or a vaginal ring. The pill and the vaginal ring are the most popular forms of birth control for women. The side effects of birth control include headaches, dizziness, and a decreased libido, which can be an inconvenience to both partners considering they use birth control to prevent pregnancy while having sex. The pill is 99% effective against pregnancy, and in no way does it protect against STDs. Birth control pills are usually only given with a prescription, but not all of them.…

    Birth control is the practice of preventing unwanted pregnancies, typically by use of the contraceptive pill. The contraceptive pill is prescribed and taken once a day to suppress ovulation. Many birth control pills contain the two hormones of estrogen and progestin. The hormones work together in the body to keep eggs from leaving the ovaries. This prevents pregnancy effectively because the process cannot take place if there is no egg present to join with the sperm (“Birth Control Overview”). Other ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy is by the use of condoms, female condoms, birth control shot, birth control rings, and simply abstinence.…
