My dream for America is to stop teen pregnancy. I dream this because of everything is causes. What I mean is that teen pregnancy causes a lot of chaos. In different forms of course, something I take as a shock is that there are so many things people could do to prevent it from happening and yet there is still so much of it in the U.S.
Some of the bad things that come out of teen pregnancy are child abuse, the child would most likely have a bad family life. The parent of the child may not be able to afford "cool" clothes for the child. This might make the child rebellious against their parents and/or peers as well. The child might grow up with a lot of negativity.
Some girls who get pregnant might be embarrassed to go to school. They might get harassed by their peers. Because of this the parent might feel it is the child's fault and feel resentment. This may also bring child abuse into play.
Some ways that teen pregnancy can be prevented are birth control pills. The use of condoms. Also if the U.S. would teach outercourse in school. I believe that not many people have even heard of this suggestion which in a way makes me sad because what if it could have helped, but no one knew anything about it? Outercourse refers to all sexual activity which does not involvesexual intercourse or oral sex. No bodily fluids are exchanged, and outercourse is therefore considered a practice of safe sex as well as of birth control. Practices of outercourse include sexual roleplaying, petting, frotteurism, and mutual masturbation.
My dream for America is to end teen pregnancy, there is not much I myself can do to stop it but I can try by writing the president about teaching outercourse in schools it is a start and something I can do to help.
