I have decided to change my original response essay topic, movies against promiscuity, due to a lack of sources. I am now expanding on the essay titled Teenage Pregnancy and Single Parents: 16 and Pregnant. While being raised by a single parent can lead to young pregnancies, my response essay will state that there are other reasons for teenage pregnancy besides a lack of parental guidance
Source 1: This article describes five reasons for teenage pregnancy. The first is a lack of parental guidance, which is what the preliminary essay described. The second is adolescent sexual behavior. The third is an inadequate knowledge about safe sex. The fourth is exploitation by older men. The fifth reason is socio economic factors.

Source 2: This article describes the reasoning behind teenage pregnancies in America and in other countries, mostly third world nations. In third world countries early pregnancies are a result of traditional and early marriage. Being fertile is a gift therefore; being pregnant is seen as a good thing. The in-take of drugs is also mentioned as a reason for young pregnancies. Also, sexual abuse is a main cause for teenage pregnancies.

Source 3: This source discusses not only the causes of teenage pregnancy, but also the effects and consequences. Some of the causes were long term relationships, carefree sex, and passion. These are not very strong reasons however, they are still relevant. The effects include early responsibility, changes in body, and life-style change. I’m not sure if I can use these effects of this source just yet.
