Background of the study

! Pregnancy is a gift. The baby is a miracle, a great gift
and treasure from God. Pregnancy is not a sin neither
a crime. It is merely a result of a consummated
relationship; pregnancy may not be planned by man
but has long been laid out in the perfect plan of our
Creator.
! Pregnancy during the teenage years is a bombastic
situation, one that comes unexpected. For a student
facing unintended pregnancy, the physical,
emotional and spiritual issues can seem
overwhelming. Teenage pregnancy may have been
the result of the lack of supervision from parents,
though blaming is nonetheless helpful if pregnancy
presents itself. Pregnant teenagers need help. They
need understanding and acceptance the more.
! The role of parents is crucial in every aspect

of a child‘s life. Guidance and support is
important in rearing them to become
responsible individuals. With the increasing
rate of teenage pregnancy in the
Philippines, mothers are becoming even
younger and younger these days. But what
is even more appalling is that some
expecting young women consider or resort
to abortion because they could not get
support from their families. According to the
studies
! conducted by World Bank, the Philippines are

among the top 10 countries where there are an
increasing number of teenage mothers. Seven out of
10 Filipina mothers are adolescents; most of them are
below 19 years old. There are 3.6 million young
mothers in the Philippines to date. While there is a
prevalence of pregnancy among teens, it is still
intensely unaccepted by the society—especially the
parents. Because of this reason as well as their youth,
adolescent mothers-to-be are more prone to stress.
They suffer both physical and emotional pain. There
are many reasons why teen pregnancies should be
avoided. Teenage mothers tend to have poor eating
habits and are less likely to take recommended daily
multivitamins to maintain adequate nutrition during
pregnancy. They are also more likely to smoke, drink
or take drugs during pregnancy, which can cause
health problems for the baby.
! Teenage mothers are less likely to seek

regular prenatal care which is essential for
monitoring the growth of the fetus; keeping
the mother‘s weight in check; and advising
the mother on nutrition and how she should
take care of herself to ensure a healthy
pregnancy. According to the American
Medical Association, babies born to
women who do not have regular prenatal
care are 4 times more likely to die before
the age of 1 year.

! Unplanned pregnancies lead to a higher rate of abortions. In the

United States, nearly 4 in 10 teen pregnancies (excluding those
ending in miscarriages) are terminated by abortion. There were
about 274,000 abortions among teens in 1996. Statistics of the
Department of Health show that fetal deaths are more likely to
happen to young mothers and that babies born by them are
likely to have low birth weight. The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is
a sexually-transmitted, wart-forming virus that has been
implicated in causing cancer of the cervix. This is the most
common cancer in women secondary to breast cancer. Women
who are at increased risk for acquiring this are those who engage
in sex before 18, have a pregnancy at or younger than 18, or
have had at least 5 sexual partners, or have had a partner with at
least 5 sexual partners.
! If you start sex at an early age, you have a higher likelihood of
going through several sexual partners before you settle down,
thus increasing your exposure to acquiring the virus and acquiring
cervical cancer. The men can get genital warts from this virus
and can certainly pass it on to their partners, thus increasing her
risk for cervical cancer. There is a way to test women (HPV
Digene test) but no test for the man so you can‘t know if you
have it. Using the condom does not confer protection against
acquiring
! this virus since the condom cannot cover the testes where the
warts can grow and proliferate.
! Teens that have children are likely to encounter a number of
problems that their peers avoid. They are more likely to be and
remain single parents. Compared to their counterparts who wait
until ages twenty or twenty-one to have children, teen mothers
are more likely to drop out of high school. These adverse
consequences are not limited to teen mothers. Teen fathers also
have a higher high-school dropout rate and decreased earning
potential than their peers without children. Moreover, the
children of teenage mothers are more likely to have lower
cognitive attainment and proficiency scores when entering
kindergarten; exhibit behavioural problems; have chronic
medical conditions; rely more heavily on publicly-provided
healthcare; and drop out of high school. Finally, children of teen
parents are more likely to give birth as teenagers themselves.
One study estimates that at least one-third of teen parents are
themselves children of a teen pregnancy.
! Children born to teen moms are sicker, poorer, and less
educated as a group than those born to parents in their 20's. The
health problems range from infant death, to cerebral palsy, to
dyslexia, to hyperactivity disorder, and respiratory problems.
These same children tend to have more
! behavioural problems because they are

raised by teens that frequently lack the ability
to master parenting skills. Statistically, they
perform worse on standardized tests and are
more likely to repeat a grade in school. The
scariest part of all is that they are the most
likely group to become teen parents and
repeat the cycle.
! Teenage pregnancy is a societal problem, a family

problem, and a personal problem all rolled into one. It is
interrelated with other areas of concern for contemporary
teens. While the pregnant teenage girl is the one who
stands to suffer the most from the circumstance in the
short run; many more problems loom over the horizon. Her
family, her child, and often many of her family members
will pay a high price for the indiscretion that led to the
pregnancy. Base on the prenatal record of Barangay
West Timawa Molo, Iloilo, City from 2010 up to the present,
31 out of 107 or 29% of women had been pregnant once
or even twice before their 20th birthday. The researchers
considered this number as very high and thus, prompted
them to conduct this study. This study was focused on the
perception of adolescents towards teenage pregnancy in
Barangay West Timawa, Molo Iloilo City.
! Specifically, it sought to answer the following

questions:
! What is the perception of adolescents
towards teenage pregnancy when taken as
a whole and classified according to gender,
family structure and educational attainment?
! Is there a significant difference in the
perception of adolescents towards teenage
pregnancy when classified according
gender, family structure educational
attainment?
This study was conducted to determine the

pregnancy in Barangay West Timawa, Molo,
Iloilo City.
! Specifically, this study aimed to:
! Determine the perception of adolescents

towards teenage pregnancy in Barangay West
Timawa, Molo, Iloilo City when taken as a
whole and classified according to gender,
family structure and educational attainment.
! Determine if there is significant difference in the
pregnancy
! in Barangay West Timawa, Molo, Iloilo City

when classified according to gender, family
structure and educational attainment.
! Hypothesis
In view of the foregoing questions, the null
hypothesis was advanced, that there is no
significant difference in the perception of
adolescents towards teenage pregnancy
when classified according to gender, family
structure and educational attainment.
