    This document proposes stopping teenage pregnancy in the Philippines. It notes that the country has a high rate of teenage pregnancy compared to other ASEAN countries and the global average, which poses economic and health challenges. Teenage pregnancy often results in teenagers dropping out of school and facing adult responsibilities too early. It can also negatively impact their mental health. While sexuality is a natural part of teenage development, early pregnancy should be prevented through education to allow teens to make informed choices and avoid health, social, and economic burdens. The document calls for supporting efforts to decrease teenage pregnancy rates in the country.

    CONCEPT PAPER

    TITLE

    Stop Teenage Pregnancy

    INTRODUCTION

    Teenage pregnancy is common about this days teenager act like this is normal for

    their age or what we call because this is normal in their generation but this should not

    be normalized! Teens should be feeling butterflies in their stomachs not babies

    kicking. Teenage pregnancy could destroy their life and future, and this is also some

    reason of broken family.

    PURPOSE

    To stop teenager from teenage pregnancy because they are too young for that and not

    100 percent ready.

    DESCRIPTION

    One of the most severe issues of the Philippines is teenage pregnancy. It has led to

    numerous problems faced on a societal and individual level. In terms of the

    disadvantages that it contributed to the community, teenage pregnancy is the reason

    why some teenagers are left illiterate, must face social obligations at an early age, loss

    of government revenue, may lack financial support, increases impoverishment in the

    society, higher suicide rates, and a lot more.

    Philippines has one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates among the ASEAN

    Member States. Recent World Bank data shows that the Philippines has 47 births

    annually per 1,000 women aged 15-19, higher than the average adolescent birth rates
    of 44 globally and 33.5 in the ASEAN region.

    Aside from the fact that it’s a threat to the economic growth of the country, teenage

    pregnancy also brings mental health conditions to teenage moms. Such as baby blues,

    depression and postpartum depression.

    On an individual level, it’s already a huge responsibility to be a young parent,

    especially when you’re unprepared. This may also contribute to higher health

    complications such as anemia, STD, preeclampsia, premature delivery, and poor

    mental health outcomes.

    Taking responsibility for raising a child is a heavy burden, especially when you are

    still a child yourself. This is why we must use education to not make the same

    mistakes again and let the succeeding generations make liberated, healthy, and

    informed decisions about their sexuality.
