Pregnant Nation: The Indescribable Era of Teenage Pregnancy
My main topic will be teenage pregnancy and how it has become a rising concern among the United States. As well as showing how the media has truly influenced this rise in pregnancy.
I decided to take on the position of writing from my own angle of what I believed was a major concern and new fad among teenagers. Using prompt number one I will show how the birth rate among American teens has sky rocketed over the pat few year, as well as how it has become a new fad among girls to become pregnant. I believe this was the best option for me because I enjoy writing my opinion as well as showing the facts about how this growth is changing the outlook of parenthood and how teens view one another. During this paper I would like to show how the media has influenced this growth with television shows such as 16 and Pregnant, Teen Mom, and The Pregnancy Pact. Also I would like to show the difficulty in getting birth control. Ultimately I would like to show how the birth rate in America is the highest its ever been.
My audience will most likely be teenagers and young adults. I would like to show them how even though the media hypes up pregnancy it’s nothing to toy around with. Also I would like to adhere to parents and school’s to begin educating children about sex and about contraception. In order to support my thesis I would like to use news articles and media resources to provide a clear understanding of how this outbreak is turning into a crisis. Also, I would like to use the different modes such as, illustration and cause and effect. So far I have begun to use a database finding different facts about pregnancy and even a personal story from a teen mom. I would like to begin finding more recent news articles giving more details of teen pregnancy and the effect it has had on girls. I would also like to find more personal stories from other moms that would encourage girls to wait to get pregnant, or at least be protected when having sex.
