Benefits for Teen Mothers

Overview

The rate of teen pregnancy increased in 2006 for the first time in 10 years, up 3 percent, according to a January 26, 2010 report by the Guttmacher Institute, a research and public education firm. “After more than a decade of progress, this reversal is deeply troubling,” says Heather Boonstra, Guttmacher Institute senior public policy associate.

Many of these teens do not know where to turn for help. There are state and federal benefits for teenage parents, including assistance with food, education and health care.

The Statistics

In its January 2010 report, the Guttmacher Institute notes that 7 percent of teen mothers receive either late or no prenatal care, and babies born to teens are more likely to be low-birth weight than are those born to women in their 20s and 30s.

There is some good news, however. Teen mothers are more likely now to complete high school or obtain a GED than in the past, the institute reports. However, teen mothers are still less likely than women who delay childbearing to go on to college.

  1. I have long felt a special connection with Herbal Medicine. For one thing is natural, Charlie we went to the same small college in Southern California — Claremont Men’s College — though he dropped out and ultimately enrolled at the Julliard School of the Performing Arts in New York. Had he stayed at Claremont, he would have been a senior the year I started there; I have often kidded that I was the reason he left when he finds out I had herpes. So my life have been lonely like hell all day I couldn't bear the outbreak pain, Tasha then introduce me to Dr Itua who use his herbal medicine to cure her two weeks of drinking it. I place an order form him and he delivers to my post office then I picked it up and used for two weeks all my sore was healed completely no more outbreak I'm honestly telling you this man is a great man, I trust him and his herbal medicine so much I'm sharing this to show my appreciation also to let sick people know there is hope with Dr Itua Herbal Made Medicine.Dr Itua Contact Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com,Whatsapp.+2348149277967
