About teen pregnancy in El Salvador

During the folk history of El Salvador it is well known that girls between the ages of 12-17 years get pregnant, sometimes live together with a man or become single mothers and then they have to work and raise their child or children at the same time. Only in year 2014, a research by the CONNA( onsejo Nacional de la Niñez y la Adolescencia) Found that 23,573 girls were pregnant and living with a man, married or in informal union because of pregnancy, this research specifies that the ages of these girls are between 12-17. This is alarming considering the population of the country. This situation is the result of the lack of education this people has. Since the majority of the country lives under the line of poverty, this people have the mentality that children will give them chances of getting out of their situation, although, sometimes pregnancy might also happen because of sexual abuse and the indaquate laws we have when it comes to abortion and birth control. This situation is without any doubt deplorable and shows what a lack of morality, culture and education our country has, from the goverment to the poorest ones, this country has a lot to change. No doubt we have this kind of situation as part of our folk history, lack of education explains it all.

    During the folk history of El Salvador it is well known that girls between the ages of 12-17 years get pregnant, sometimes live together with a man, or become single mothers and then they have to work and raise their child or children at the same time (THIS TOPIC SENTENCE DOESN'T TELL ME WHERE YOU STAND ON THE ISSUE). Only in year 2014, a research by the CONNA (Consejo Nacional de la Niñez y la Adolescencia) found that 23,573 girls were pregnant and living with a man, married or in informal union because of pregnancy. This research specifies that the ages of these girls are between 12-17 (REPEATED INFO). This is alarming considering the population of the country (THIS SENTENCE IS NOT NECESSARY). This situation is the result of the lack of education this people has (HERE STARTS THE OPINION). Since the majority of the country lives under the line of poverty, this people have the mentality that children will give them chances of getting out of their situation. Although, sometimes pregnancy might also happen because of sexual abuse (I HAVE TO ARGUE THAT IT IS NOT SOMETIMES, THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS ACCORDING TO THE INFO PRESENTED. UNDER THE LAW, EVERY ADULT, MORE THAN 18 YO, HAVING SEX WITH A MINOR IS CONSIDERED RAPE/SEXUAL ABUSE) and the indaquate laws we have when it comes to abortion and birth control (IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO EXPAND THIS ARGUMENT). This situation is without any doubt deplorable and shows what a lack of morality, culture and education our country has (PLEASE, EXPAND THE ARGUMENT). From the goverment to the poorest ones, this country has a lot to change. No doubt we have this kind of situation as part of our folk history, lack of education explains it all.

    * It was nice that you included important facts in order to back up your opinion. Now, I would have loved to read more about the actual opinion and write more arguments.

    There are some interesting investigations regarding this topic that I believe are worth reading. This is one of them:

    You have 8 on this assignment. I think you can do better.
