TEENAGE PREGNANCY Teenage pregnancy is an act in which pregnancy occurred before the age of eighteen. Teenage pregnancy is one of the most disturbing social issues today in our contemporary Liberia. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as other women. There are, however, additional medical concerns for mothers aged fewer than fifteen. For mothers aged fifteen to nineteen, risks are associated more with socio-economic factors than with the biological effects of age. However, research has shown risks of low birth weight, premature labor, and anemia, are connected to the biological age itself, as it was observed in teen births even after controlling for other risk factors (such as utilization of antenatal care etc.). In Liberia for instance, teenage pregnancies are often associated with social issues, including lower educational levels, higher rates of poverty, and other poorer life outcomes in children of teenage mothers. Teenage pregnancy in Liberia is usually outside of marriage, and carries a social stigma in many communities and cultures. Nevertheless, although there are enormous efforts from government and others partners in fighting against teenage pregnancy, the fact remains that poverty is the core of teenage pregnancy in Liberia including cultural accommodations, single parenting, illiteracy, inadequate social welfare, limited public awareness amongst others. Many parents tends not to have absolute disciplinary action over their children because they cannot afford for their children basic needs and services such as education, health, clothing, and others basic social services. Teenage pregnancy has also created other major medical issues with many of its victim such as premature labor, anemia, and others side effects of the children born by teenage mothers. Many teenage mothers in Liberia gradually become a heavy burden on society in such that many of them are abandoned or rejected by the fathers of their child/children yet unborn. In an added efforts to minimizes if not eradicate teenage pregnancies, the following should be observed by government and other partners in the fight against teenage pregnancies; a.	Provide basic social welfares and public sensitizations on teenage pregnancies and its effects. b.	Re-strategized the fight against poverty. c.	Creates programs that would empower single parents. d.	A massive reform in child’s restrictions. Basic social welfare is a very important pillar in addressing the issues related to teenage pregnancy. Government should at all-time be able to cater to its citizenry particularly it younger generation of females who are faced with stiff challenges amidst high rate of poverty, illiteracy and societal threats. Poverty, if not the most associated reason pursuant to the massiveness of teenage pregnancies, should be treated as a serious enemy of every state. Government should always be in position to fight a tireless fight against poverty because it is the route to almost all of our (Liberia) contemporary social problems from teenage pregnancies to rape, crimes, drugs, and illiteracy amongst all things. Single parenting is in many cases one of the most likely results of teenage pregnancy. Many teenage pregnancy victims are either abandoned by their other sexual partners in that the teenage mother suffered severely because of their inability to provide for the offspring. That which happened to also create another social problems such as crimes, prostitutions, child labor, child abuse, sexual exploitation and abuse and child trafficking amongst others. Single parents should be cater to in such that they could access others facilities like school, health cares, vocational and trade institutions and if possible financial aid that should be returned upon completion of the entire empowerment processes in phases. Massive reforms in the child protection sectors should be highly considerate in that our traditionally restriction of children be attached to the already emotional laws in existence. In our today’s Liberia, many children are programmed to engage their parents in so many ways in that they even have the rights to pursue their parents to court for decision made on their behalves. Fewer years back, Liberia was a more moral-moral societal than it is today not because time has changed, but because our laws on child restriction had cultural sentimental value that gives our parents the rights to decide what was right for us at that time. Conversely, more people tend not to value our cultural stand point and sees it very unnecessary that our ethics of moral traditions should not be tolerated in our contemporary Liberia community because of their own sentimental reasons or Americanized or Europeanized ideologies, forgetting the fact that their role models have always prioritized cultural ethics that best suit their environments.
