  • Reduing the Rate of Teen Pregnancy

    After a minute she moistened her lips and spoke, “I never got to see my baby. They wouldn’t even tell me if it was a boy or a girl.”…….. The little mother wept and wiped her eyes on the back of one hand, the baby gripped with the other (In Search of Eden 1). Teen pregnancy occurs all over the world but it is a bigger issue in America than in most developed countries; this may be solved by informing teens of the effects of pregnancy and the use of contraceptives. Due to shows like 16 and Pregnant, pregnancy rates have declined but are still high for a developed nation. In the case mentioned above a 15 year old girl has just given birth and had her baby taken away without permission to know whether it was a boy or girl. A kind nurse sneaks the baby into the room and allows the mother to hold the baby until a young couple arrives to take the baby away.

    The first part last, has so many symbols in it. The first symbol I am going to bring up is the red balloon. The red balloon represents childness and that they are not old enough to have a baby. The balloon comes up in the beginning of the story. It came up because on Bobby’s sixteenth birthday Nia hands him a red balloon and tell him the big news that she is pregnant. Near the middle of the story, Bobby and Nia go to a party and Nia is dancing and having a good time even though she is pregnant.The place they are at is a apartment and it is smoky,smelly, and has really loud music playing which,is probably not good for the baby. That action was really immature because a responsible woman that is pregnant wouldn’t go to a party at all. While they are at the party, Nia brings up the point that she is not ready to take care of a baby. Nia tells Bobby that she wants to give the baby up for adoption. Which is a really big decision because it is there baby and giving it up will be really hard once they actually have her. With the whole adoption process they can chooses if they want to be able to still see her or if they don’t want to see

  • The Problem of Teen Pregnancy

    1608 Words  | 4 Pages

    Red and blue lights are flashing and the noise of the ambulance impels everyone to a point where they have to look outside and observe the situation, as if a mystical force was compelling them. From what they can see, the paramedic is holding a tiny hand telling her to hold on. As the stretcher rolls by, the onlookers notice a huge lump, or ball as a few may say, under the pallid cotton covers. What they also take note of is that the pregnant woman is not a woman at all, but in fact a teenager. As some are astounded that a child is being born from a child, others possibly will look at it as a “blessing in disguise.” The issue of teenage pregnancy is affecting our society in innumerable ways and has become one of our top social issues of all time. “The latest estimates show that approximately 1 million teens become pregnant every year” (East, Felice, and Associates 1). With this high number of teenage pregnancy, it is no wonder that many authors try to exemplify this common subject matter. Katrina L. Burchett, author of Choices, accurately and effectively depicts teenage pregnancy among female adolescents living with domestic issues.
