Quarter 4 Anatomy Benchmark: Teenage Pregnancy.

The reason why I chose the topic teen pregnancy was because it was the topic we were given to talk about, in addition to the fact that Teen Pregnancy is a public health issue. There are too many teenagers out here that aren't taking the necessary measures to prevent themselves from becoming parents. They have to put their dreams and aspirations on hold because they have to care for a child.

When I reflect upon how I contributed to the project, I contributed quite a lot. I had wrote the majority of the script, and had even starred in the video, as the pregnant girl. The role I played in the group was the organizer and being the person who contacted the different organizations, as I kept all of our information in order, as well as contacting the people we were supposed to email.

I think that overall we did extremely well on the project. Our video came out nice, and we had good interview questions and answers, as well as the fact that our group had a wonderful dynamic. We laughed together, but when it came time to get work done, we got it done. I think that if we could do this project differently, I think we could have started the interview process a lot earlier, as we didn't secure an agency to interview until the last minute, as previous agencies just kept hanging up on us, or sending us to voicemail.

The most meaningful part in creating this PSA for me was the learning aspect of it. From conducting interviews, and doing research I learned that the importance of pregnancy prevention programs are more crucial then they've ever been, and that they should not be defunded by the new administration because then the rates will shoot through the roof, which is ridiculous.

The factors which relate to teen pregnancy are economics, politics, in addition to society. The role that I believe that society plays a role in teen pregnancy because if the environment the teenager is growing up in is surrounded by pregnant teens, then they'll feel compelled to do the same thing, and they have no proper guidance as to why this isn't the way they should go. Politics and economics plays a major role in teenage pregnancy because politicians in the Trump administration are working to defund Planned Parenthood, or reduce funding for other pregnancy prevention places, instead of seeing all of the good that these places offer.
