A teenager is a
young person who age falls within the range from thirteen through nineteen
(13-19) they are called teenager because their age number ends in teen. Also
considered young adults that mark the change from childhood to adulthood (en Wikipedia.org/wiki/adolescence).
A teenager is a
noun that refers to personal aged from 13-19 years of age. At this stage is
when a boy or a girl faces the adolescence transition. The transition involves
biological, psychological and social changes.
Teenager is a
personal between the age 13-19 inclusive the one set of puberty and maturity
not fully developed ( free
dictionary.com/teenagers).
Teenager
pregnancy is defined as pregnancy that occurs in women below the age of 20. It
is common that at this age the girl has not complete her education and is
completely dependent upon her parents thus an able to provide for the unborn
child. Teenage pregnancies rate various from one country to another depending
on factors such as access to contraceptive methods, sex education and sexuality
activity.
Pregnancy
counseling is a form of psychological counseling that provides information and
support regarding pregnancy. This type of counseling assists the pregnant woman
who is considering choices regarding the continuation of her pregnancy in. It
the counselor impartially present the patient with her option that usually
counselor should know local and national laws governing woman’s pregnancy
choice, especially those concerning adolescent and their rights to make such
decision.
A teacher will
handle such teenager problem through making support on her decision in the
counseling session. By doing so it will help the pregnant teenager to be satisfactory
on her responsibility for her decision of being pregnant. Also through support
making to the pregnant teenager it will make her to appreciate that the
decision she has make is an appropriate choice. Because most of the pregnant
teenager influenced by anxiety, high shame things may led to the drop out from
the school. But through support making will make the teenager continuing at
school.
.
Through creating
positive supportive relationships with school staff in order to ensure
effective schooling of pregnant student, I will promote the staff members to
pay a positive relationship with such student who have pregnancy at school.
Form this positive relationship with such student influence competence to her
schooling effectively regardless to her state of having pregnancy. This implies
every teacher around the specific school should be well encouraged to create
positive relationship to pregnant student, for instance telling her on
concentrating on academic matters while taking pregnancy issues be under normal
circumstance of human life. This make the student who have pregnancy feel
comfortable to her schooling effective out of afraid been hated by the staff
members at school environment.
Through
providing most important social work to her stay at school as the teacher who
is responsible on counseling and creating comfortable learning environment to
the learner who have pregnancy to ensure effective schooling. I have to give
her some important social work to stay at school for instance giving manual wok
like cleaning school environment and general cleanness the school environment,
influencing her on participating social entertainment and academic social group
like debates, morning speech and clubs as well as motivating her on observing
football and netball for mind pleasure. This let the pregnant student feel
comfortable been part and parcel of the school.
In order to
council a students who have pregnancy I should clarify her choice and feelings.
For example a pregnant students may feel idle unimportant in the society and
may make harsh decision in her life. After recognizing her feeling is where now
i can start to council her. Also the students may have so many choices due to
the possession of pregnancy. For example the student may decide on continuing
the pregnancy and rising the child herself, continuing the pregnancy and
placing the child for adoption or terminating the pregnancy. Due to the
identification of the choice and feelings of the students with a pregnancy is
where now; I can show her the reality advantages and the consequence of her
choice. If the choice will be convict-able it can agree with her option but if not
I should neglect with the reasons that may make her to continue with studies.
It is determined
that about 400,000 teens aged from 15-19 years give birth every years in united state and the teens birth rate
remains the highest in the developed world. In African countries it is
approximately double (800,000) teens aged 14-19 are pregnancy every year as it
is in Tanzania about 13-19 years are teenagers are pregnant and this occurs as
because of life circumstance based on life difficulties from their families and
improper guidance and counseling responsibility of parents to their youth,
issue concerning reproductive and preventive measures from been a pregnant.
This is rounded and bound of the cultural determinant of African families on addressing
and spent time to talk with their children about sexual engagement in early
teen ages and its impact, and hence mass drop out from schools, low academic
achievement, feel loneliness and sometimes increase stigma and discrimination to
the fellow students. The following are the possible ways which I will apply to
handle the problem of pregnancy student so as to ensure her schooling
effectively.
I will reduce
anxiety to a student so that she can proceed schooling with pregnant. Because
always the pregnant students feel guilt to proceed schooling while she has
pregnancy. Due to such thing I will help the student through mental and
emotional distress counseling as well as provision of practical advice
regarding the pregnancy. Also I will work with a student to develop a plan of
informing the parent about the pregnancy and what she could do about the
pregnancy corresponding to asking parent to attend in the counseling session.
This will help the parent to be aware with the problem although some parents
might react with anger, and may be disappointed to attend in the counseling
session after discovering her child have the pregnancy due to the frustration
and shock.
I will provide
supportive decision to a student that will bring changes on the negative
attitude toward the pregnancy like negative attitude of aborting the fetus.
Because always pregnant students tend to abort the fetus after conceiving due
to the various reasons like fearing harassment from his/her parent or making
abortion in order to proceed schooling. By doing so a student will change his
own negative attitude toward aborting the fetus and molding the behavior of
self esteem and self-confidence toward the pregnancy and seeing the pregnancy as
a normal thing to her. This will led pregnant student to continue schooling.
I will increase
reinforcement especially extrinsic rewards to the pregnant students by doing
this I will promote her ability to come at school and listening the subject
matter in the class effectively by influence this, she will be capable to
knowing and increase sense of worth to what as been learn t since the students
with pregnant lack enough time to think about education at all, and put much
emphasize and concentrate about how she could handle that problem so my work
here as teacher is to influence her towards performing well in the class by
increasing rewarding behavior in every good responding.
I will increase
motivation to her by ensuring that my student who have pregnant knows the reason
of being at school by attributing towards her goals achievement in education, by
give her more task and supervising with high consideration towards her
performance, and return back feedback on time to measure her strength and
weakness in performing academic task, so this will accelerate her capability
towards effective learning through school faced with many symptoms in which
school overlook about her in turn she will perform well oh her academic
profile.
Non judgment
altitude I must approach the situation of the student and not integrating a
judgment, it involves being an open minded. I have to avoid to make decision
for the student but I must direct a way for the student but I must direct a way
for the student to judge herself about the situation she faced because student
have her own view point’s concern of her situation. So I have to direct the
student toward her decision she make in fill that the school environment is the
suitable place and comfortable to live and study.
I will encourage
the student that pregnancy is normal things in the life of human being and
every woman will pass through. Therefore the encouragement will focus on making
her caring the pregnancy up to the period of bearing and that all are the will
of God, This will make her concentrate on studying and feel that their study is
their best and child’s future.
I will impart
knowledge and facts about various options and their implication basing on
student counseling such as parenting knowledge by continue with pregnancy and
then raise the child, adoption which denotes continue with the pregnancy and
give the body to another family. From these knowledge of option and its
implication promote to the teenager student effective schooling.
its true that during the period of teenage the
youth faced with many temptation towards sexual desire from these youth found
in the school so this truly act as the challenge to both boys and girls since
their cognitive and physiological understand of their body and self control not
yet grow to ensure that they inter in sexual intercourse and effectively
perform the academic task hence these students needs much support when they faced
with pregnant and other social problem the teachers had to make sure that they
show positive relationship and show great support towards their academic
performance, but not dismiss them from the school compound by doing so the
social evils, poverty, will increase at high peak.
