Teen pregnancy and parenthood as a social problem

Teen pregnancy and parenthood have been constructed as a social problem caused by poor decision-making on the part of adolescents. Evaluate and show why focusing on personal responsibility alone offers an incomplete or distorted picture of teen pregnancy and parenthood. In your argument, identify and provide a rationale for one social influence that you feel deserves greater attention. (The social influence you select may draw on ideas discussed in class. e.g., parent socialization, a school system that keeps adolescents socially young, or the inter-generational transmission of disadvantage; however, you are free to reference a social factor we have not explicitly discussed: e.g., teen pregnancy and parenthood as gendered or racialized).
and Creatively propose a Solution that addresses the social influence you have identified above. Evaluate the extent to which your proposed solution might lead to changes in teen pregnancy and parenthood, as well as how your proposed solution might alter assumptions about adolescence more generally.
