Essay 3

My idea for essay three is either writing about eating disorders or teen pregnancy. Being a high school student, I see both of these issues a lot. I think that both of these are major social problems that are growing even larger in today’s society. I personally know a girl who was affected by teen pregnancy, so I think that I may write about that issue instead. I saw many life changes for her, but she was a good mother. If I write about that topic, I think I will also mention how teen pregnancy isn’t just in high school. Many junior high students are pregnant as well. This has also been increasing in the last few years. I think that there are several solutions to these problems, and I am unsure of what I would mention for a solution at the moment. I may suggest that schools put more emphasis on the risks of pregnancy at a young age. I know that many young girls want a baby because they want someone who will love them. Schools could also emphasize that the reality of teen pregnancy is not what you dream up or see in movies. It’s dangerous. This solution would not be a very costly one, but it would take time and dedication. I think that teen pregnancy will be the topic I write on after thinking more about it. It is a very important issue in society and it needs to be addressed more seriously, because lives are at stake.
