Wow! Wow! Wow! Whatever happened to sex orientation... on teenagers? Well a new research has shown that sex education on teenagers, HAS LITTLE IMPACT ON THEM, even pregnant teenagers over the years.(Cheech!)According to researchers, pregnancies among children under age 16 in the UK has proved 'resilient' over the last 40 years, despite different Government implementation of policy initiatives, which often have sex education in schools as their core.
Pregnancy statistics has also revealed that between 1969 and 2009, pregnancy in teens have remained 'almost exactly the same'.
*Flips back faster* According to the United Nations, 53,000 women in Nigeria die annually of pregnancy related illnesses.
Also according to Dr Mariam Jagun, with Compass, a Nigerian health organization, says more than 20 percent of adolescents girls in this neighborhood are mothers.(more than 20%? Make that 20.1 or more, so)
Dr Mariam also said that, these girls get pregnant early, they are not prepared for it and less likely to go for antenatal care.
(Do your maths, despite sex education...teenagers end up pregnant still, even in the world today)
I think you have the answer to this puzzle.....how then can you curb teenage pregnancy??
