seriously, i need help.
I am unsure of what you need.
Do you need academic papers? Check your schools library and find out how to access their academic databases
Are you looking for empowering view points on teens (check out Arial Gore's work, or Allies "when I was Garbage" (http://www.girl-mom.com/node/34)? Or are you looking for negative viewpoints on teens *TRIGGER ON THE LINK* (http://www.teenageparent.org/english/stories.html).
Use the National Coalition to Prevent Teen Pregnancy as an example of the social ideas about pregnant/parenting teens. Or any of Ronald Regans speeches about welfare.
Are you looking for stats? Or for theory? Or personal stories?
Use google to search for journal articles or statistics. Use your library to find books on pregnancy and teen pregnancy. Collect as many sources as you need or more (if some don't come through with information). Organize your presentation the way you want to do it (like with an intro, possible view, stats, possible problems with stats, conclusion) or need to do it.
The only way you'll find anything is to just start looking. You may need to sift through a lot of useless info at first but you will find something.
hey if you give me specifics of what you need I'll try and help you out!
hey
thanks for replying.
im gonna check out those links in a sec. i need mainly societies outlook on teen parents/moms in general. i wanna get some stats too but its not needed. i got a few books from my library today and im gonna read thru and see if i can use anything. i also got that seventeen article (Teens who get pregnant on purpose) i do believe its called im not 100% tho.. there was a posting on it on here. so anything that could give both a negative and positive views on teen parents. struggles etc. i know all of these, i just need something solid to back me up

that one didnt work?
that link worked for me.....hmm?
This link is from my Child Psychology textbook. Just scroll down until you get to the title Teen Pregnancy. The title is even in a negative connotations. There is nothing positive about it in my textbook.
I have a graph in my textbook but I don't know if its on the website.

This link is from Stats Canada.

scroll down and there should be several graphs.
Obviously it's mostly negative views/stats etc. But that could go into your project I guess.
Let me know if you need anything else!
thanks! i am figuring im going to do societies negative views on teen parents and how it effects us as teen parents. i get to bring my kids to class :) im so excited.
