A Social problems an issue that society feels needs to be changed or adjusted. Many social problems involve things that affect society and the people that live in it. A social problem can also just be something that people have two different opinions on. It can be described as a controversial issue. Social problems are ideas that people think should be brought to attention to better society. Almost every social problem that exists affects someone somewhere. There are people that have studied these issues for the past several years called sociologists. If all of these problems were solved there would rarely be any conversies in the world.

The amount of abortions would decrease by so much if teens were being smart. There are 1.1 million abortions on average every year which could be lowered.

If schools spent more time teaching teens to be safe and be protected it would make the solution to abortion much easier. Students in school are there to learn, theoretically teachers could “imbed” the idea of being safe into young teens than the rates of abortion would be much lower than years prior. In conclusion, there are many things that affect abortion and a lot of different things that people think about
