INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
Teenage pregnancy is pregnancy in a woman 19 years of age or younger. A woman can get pregnant if she has vaginal sex
with a man at any age after she’s begun having regular monthly periods.
According to the centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2017, around 194,000 babies were born to American
girls between the ages of 15 to 19.
While the number of teenage pregnancies in the United States has been in decline. It still remains higher than in other
industrialized countries. Teenage pregnancy are more increasing due to a lot of factors that can cause teenage pregnancy to
young woman.
With early pregnancy, the girls usually have to abandon their education to give birth or raise their child. They
become the primary caregiver of their child and expected to rear their child well.
Being a teenager parents at the early age is not an easy thing and it is sensitive thing to tackle mostly in
teenagers. But it is better to talk about it before it’s too late. Teenagers that who experience early pregnancy
can affect their mental and physical health, and it can cause serious health problems in their lives. Also
sometimes young teenager’s parent’s decided to end their life by taking suicides, abortion or escaping their
homes, some female teenager’s parents need to stop their education in order to give birth and raise their child.
While some teenage pregnancy are cause by unintentional some are victims of rape, and having an early
relationship to young men and curiosity.

Pregnant girls and adolescents also face other health risk and complications due to their immature bodies.
 Teenage pregnancy affects mental and physical health
 Suicidal thoughts, abortion
 Dropping out from schools to raise their child’s

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Research Problem: Teenage pregnancy carries a social stigma that leads to a high risk of poverty, illiteracy, or
lower education levels and “once it happens, such a girl will forever have a mark that hinders her progress in the
future” (Maliki, 2012).
Another study reported that teen mothers face significant levels of stress that can then lead to increased mental
health concerns. 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.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The present conceptual framework proposes four central goals to be achieved by early adolescence, engagement with
learning, emotional and physical safety, positive sense of self/self-efficacy, acquisition of life/decision-making skills.
Early adolescence (ages 10-24 years) is among the most neglected stages of development, yet there are few stages
during the life course where changes are as dramatic. Adolescence is frequently divided into three stages: early,
middle, and late. The ages from 10 to 14 years referred to here as early adolescence are marked by dramatic physical,
cognitive, and social changes: however, researchers view it as among the most neglected periods of life.

RESEARCH DESIGN
The main objective of the research was to explore how young women responded to finding out they were
pregnant, who supported them, and how their behaviors were influenced by local services, including access to
sex education and contraception advice.

SAMPLING PROCEDURE AND SAMPLE
The method that was used in choosing the respondents was purposive sampling picking all the cases that meet the
criterion. The researcher will choose purposive sampling, considering that the population of respondents is small and
there are lots to consider on securing the respondents participation. Furthermore, the victims might be ashamed to
disclose their experiences, some don’t want to refresh their sad past chapter of their lives, others have transferred to other
place and there are still others that were not be reached for comments.
All teenage students and out of school youth who got pregnant from the year 2009-2013 were involved and prioritized.
The researcher hoped together not less than 60 respondents all thought-out the Municcipality of Maramag, Bukidnon.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT (SURVEY FORM, INTERVIEW PROTOCOL, QUESTIONAIRES)
The aim of the project was to develop a survey instrument to monitor relevant health status and health related
behaviors among secondary school students. The development of the instrument occurred in three main phases:
collection of existing survey, workshop with relevant health professionals and focus groups with adolescents.
Teenage pregnancy carries a social stigma that leads to a high risk of poverty, illiteracy, or lower education levels
and “once it happens, such a girl will forever have a mark that hinders her progress in future” (Maliki, 2012).
