Research+Journal+3

Factual information needed for a research paper on April Armstrong: -It happens more often than it used to. There are many options for people who do become pregnant, but many don't realize it. -They can't always finish school, and some can't get jobs. Their plans normally drastically change. - Many drop out of high school, and don't to college. Because the mothers are uneducated, their children suffer in school often, as well. -The mother may be in poverty, the family may be split and disappointed. The father of the baby may not stick around, so then the baby might have mental issues. The mother's friends don't always agree, so the mother may lose some friends. -Abstinence, protection, and even just educating kids about it. -Teen pregnancy has risen over the past few years. - 104.6 out of every one thousand women got pregnant. Just a little over half gave birth, while the other 37% had an abortion.
