Teen Parenthood Summary:** Based on Teen Pregnancy, the ages are from 13-19. For the most part according to race the most female teens becoming pregnant are the Hispanics. Teen parenthood is a very typical/averaged topic to talk about because it’s been happening a lot through out the years. It’s been obvious that becoming pregnant at a very young age is very affecting to in many ways. Sometimes the females have to be a single parent raising their child because most of the time the child’s father doesn’t want anything to do with their kid. And sometimes is the other way around, by the father of the kid being a single parent with their child. In other words, for our group, we are planning to make this workshop very interesting in a way that you will leave the workshop with some knowledge in your brain.
