2. What is the difference between a research problem and research topic?
A research problem is a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be improved, a
difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or in
practice that points to the need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation while a
research topic is a subject or issue that a researcher in interested in when conducting research.
3. What are the guidelines in writing statement of the problem?
In writing statement of the problem, we have to: understand the problem, show why it’s important and
relevant, establish your aim and objectives.
4. Why do we need to limit the scope of the study?
We need to limit the scope of the study because of lack of data or of reliable data will likely
require you to limit the scope of your analysis, the size of your sample.

What I have learned

1.Proposed Study
Effects of Teenage Pregnancy
2. What is the rationale or the background study of your chosen problem?
The teen pregnancy rate is defined as the rate of pregnancies (including live births, stillbirths,
abortions, ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages) of women under the age of 20. Research
involving teenage pregnancy typically looks at women aged 15 to 19, but may consider a broader
age range. For example, in Brownell et al. (2008) , teen pregnancy rates were also calculated for
12- to 19-year-old females, however the rate of teen pregnancy for females under 15 was very
low; the patterns were similar to the 15- to 19-year-old female rates and so only the latter were
reported. The factors contributing to teenage pregnancy included: lack of school fees, lack of
parental care, communication and supervision, poverty, peer pressure, non-use of
contraceptives, desire for a child, forced marriage, low educational level and need for dowries. In
addition to higher rates of postpartum depression, teenage mothers have higher rates of
depression. They also have higher rates of suicidal ideation than their peers who aren't
mothers. Teen mothers are more likely to experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than
other teenage women, as well.
3. Describe the setting of where your study is to be conducted.
The study will be conducted in the houses of teenage mother.
4. Enumerate the terms or concepts that need to be defined or described to you and to the reader.
Live births, stillbirths, abortions, ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, rate of pregnancies, and
contraceptives.
5. Provide at least three related literatures as references for the concept of your study.

https://reproductive-health-journal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12978-018-0630-4
6. Determine the significance of your chosen problem.

The significance of this study is to deepen understanding of people especially young women to
the issue of Teenage pregnancy.
7. What is the general objective of the study?
To study the effect of teenage pregnancy on teenagers, parents, education, and society.
8. Who will be the beneficiaries? What will be their benefits to receive after the problem is solved or
the research is finish?
Teenage Girls. This research will educate young women to be more responsible with their
actions and to eradicate the rapidly increasing numbers of teenage mothers in the Philippines.
B.
Title of your research:
Effects of Teenage Pregnancy
Purpose statement:
The researcher seeks to gather information to know the effects of Teenage pregnancy especially
to the life of Filipino Teenagers.
3. Central question:
What are challenges you have faced as a Teen Moms?
4. Sub-question:
Did you dop-out from school?
5. Other questions:
How hard is it to be a Teen Mom?
What I can do
I. Background of the Study (Introduction)
The teen pregnancy rate is defined as the rate of pregnancies (including live births,
stillbirths, abortions, ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages) of women under the age of 20.
Research involving teenage pregnancy typically looks at women aged 15 to 19, but may consider
a broader age range. For example, in Brownell et al. (2008) , teen pregnancy rates were also
calculated for 12- to 19-year-old females, however the rate of teen pregnancy for females under
15 was very low; the patterns were similar to the 15- to 19-year-old female rates and so only the
latter were reported. The factors contributing to teenage pregnancy included: lack of school
fees, lack of parental care, communication and supervision, poverty, peer pressure, non-use of
contraceptives, desire for a child, forced marriage, low educational level and need for dowries. In
addition to higher rates of postpartum depression, teenage mothers have higher rates of
depression. They also have higher rates of suicidal ideation than their peers who aren't
mothers. Teen mothers are more likely to experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than
other teenage women, as well.
II. Statement of the Problem

This will study the effects of Teenage pregnancy to many young women in the
Philippines. Also, to educate people with this issue.
Risky Pregnancy- Teen pregnancies carry extra health risks to both the mother and the baby.
Often, teens don't get prenatal care soon enough, which can lead to problems later on. They have
a higher risk for pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its complications. Risks for the baby include
premature birth and a low birth weight.
Pregnant Teenagers will more likely drop-out from school.- Nearly one-third of teen girls who
have dropped out of high school cite early pregnancy or parenthood as a key reason. Only 40 percent
of teen moms finish high school, and less than two percent of teen mothers (those who have a baby
before age 18) finish college by age 30.
Teenage Parents are more likely to be unemployed.-Due to Lack of education it’s harder for teen
parents to find a job.
III. Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The study is delimited to Teenagers who have been pregnant at their teens (12-19) years old and
living in, Badoc, Ilocos Norte.The subjects were drawn to the Teenagers who have been pregnant
and or have been a student on their teenager days and living in Badoc, Ilocos Norte. The study
focused on the extent of major causes of teenage pregnancy which are family, peers, community,
and church involvement, with the educational development of students and out-of-school youth in
Badoc, Ilocos Norte.
The perception of the teenager to the effects of major causes of teenage pregnancy were limited to
educational development only. This was the dependent variables of the study. The dependent
variables of the respondents indicate the effects of educational development among students in
school and out-of-school youth. These are teenagers who got pregnant and pursued their studies in
spite of the hassle of having in the school and having a child to rear. There are also teenagers who
got pregnant tried to go to school and earned a vocation plus degree. While others did not. There
are also teenagers especially out-of-school youth who never have the chance to go to school after
pregnancy.
IV. Significance of the Study

The significance of this study is to deepen understanding of people especially young women to
the issue of Teenage pregnancy.
