Peer Groups' Role

Assalamualaikum,
One thing that did catch my eye while I was reading your opinion, Kak Yati , when you said, “Experimenting with sex and the consequences of unsafe sex can many times be the root cause of teen pregnancies”. I’m sorry because I don’t agree with that point. In my opinion, carelessness on the part of parents causes a great frustration amongst the adolescents or teenagers, compelling them to look for affection and love from their boy friends. Opposite sex works like a remarkable remedy in lessening psychological dejection, leading to sex and subsequent teenage pregnancy. So, the feeling of ‘frustration’ can be the root cause of teen pregnancies.

Now, let’s continue my part.

Peer groups’ Role

Another point to solve teenage pregnancy problem is peer groups’ role. Let’s talk about what peer group can do in solving this problem. As friends , they can give good example in influencing their friends. For example, if their friends are smoking, they will smoke too and if their friends like to playing football, they will joined the activities.

Besides that, peer groups must have responsiblities. As best friend , they must encourage their friends to ask their parents opinion whatever they want to do. Peer groups can also be a good listener. Being a good listener can make their friends reveal their problem and know what they are facing.

Peer groups play important role to decrease the teenage pregnancy. As good friends, they must lead their group members to do healthy activities , for example study groups, sports and recreation activities.

In short, peer groups’ role that I mentioned are gives good manner , have responsible and lead their group members to doing healthy lifestyle.

See you again. I will continue my view next time.
