A social problem that I find most interesting is teen pregnancy. As soon as someone sees a teenage girl pregnant the first thing they think, "She will never do anything with her life." This is what ignorant people might say. But just because a teenager gets pregnant, it doesn't mean they won't attend school. All though its up to them if they want to continue their education. There are many programs that help with pregnancy and help them continue their education. But if they want a better life for themselves and their child, they would do anything.
It may be difficult having to teach a class with a pregnant student due to that the classmates might make fun of the student and be distracted. But the teacher would have to accept it and try their best to influence the pregnant student to continue their education. As a teacher we have to be motivate our students to succeed no matter the situation and always help them in anything the need.
Well said. I agree no one should stop trying to succeed because they got pregnant, but you are right there are way too many ignorant people that would look at it in a negative way and say crazy things. We need to know how to deal with situations that would reinstate the confidence in our students when they come across situations that might make their lives a bit more challenging.
