Fertility experts
believe that teenage pregnancy is a difficult issue because it concerns not
only the teenager’s capability to rear up a child but also because of the
several health risks associated with this type of pregnancy. According to pub
med health, children age 12 - 14 years old are more likely to have unplanned
sexual intercourse because this is the age group more likely to be talked into
having into sex. Statistics show that up to two-thirds of adolescent
pregnancies occur in teens that are age 18 to 19 years old.
A shocking news brought by theledger.com, a fourteen year
old girl was arrested and charged with killing of her newborn son. The mother
of the teenage girl said that neither she nor her daughter knew about the
pregnancy. According to the arrest affidavit, the girl delivered her child by
herself on the 19th of September in the bathroom of the mobile home
where she lives together with her family. Her son was still connected to the
umbilical cord, according to the deputies when the teenager, Cassidy Goodson
choked the infant to death. The teenager told the detectives that she hid her
pregnancy and killed her son because she fear that her relationship with her
parents would change.
