Question

Effects of Teen Pregnancy on Teen Parents:

Answer 1

- Medical Problems - Poor eating habits, smoking, alcohol and drugs increase the risk of having a baby with health problems. Teenage mothers who may not be fully developed could have difficulty carrying a baby to full term. - Financial Responsibilities - The income of teen mothers is half that of those who first gave birth in their 20s. There is a higher likelihood of “solo” parenting - where one parent is absent from the child’s life, which leads to further financial difficulties. - Education and Job Concerns - Finishing high school is a challenge, but can be overcome with hardwork and dedication (and a strong support system). Due to the challenges associated with receiving a higher education, this could lead to lower salary jobs. - Emotional Challenges - Teenage pregnancy can invoke many negative emotions, such as isolation, anxiety, shock, and guilt.

Next they were all put into the same room with a bunch of dolls, the first group all starting abusing the dolls like they saw in the video, and the second group all cared and nurtured the dolls like they saw in the video, and then lastly the third group starting caring for the doll and being kind to it because of natural human nature instinct) - Conclusion: Most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling, from observing and watching others one will form a new idea of how new behaviors are preformed
