Summary from a career-related article from The Guardian

The subjetcs of teenage mothers is complicated. There are many opinions and ideas different and contradictories. In the article "Second thoughts: supporting teenage mothers" written by Ofra Koffman, who is a visiting fellow at the Centre for the Study of Invention and Social Process, Goldsmiths, London University, and a member of the History & Policy network, shows how this teme is seen in the past and actually.

Since moral and conservative ideas the debate on teenage parenthood enphasize that teenage mothers are delinquents who should by disciplined and who became pregnant out of wedlock were reckless individuals in need of "rehabilitation". Since the Psychology teenage mothers were not fully grown-up psychologically and needed professional support and protection and, since arguments more contemporary, the teenage mothers are vulnarable children who should be protected and also they have that take responsibility for their actions.

For government the solutions are: teenage mothers to give children in adoption, that they learn, etc. But this problem is very much complicated that those solutions.

I think that the subjetcs of teenage mothers is very dificult to treat in the real life, always the people who have to resolve the problems and give solutions is people who not know the real persons and the womans pregnants.
I really think that treat the teenage mothers like delinquent is a mistake, a big one, because in the most of the cases they havent the guilt.
I belive like the people in psychology when they said
and thinks that the solution is in give support and protection and even give the posibilities for grow a family.
