FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at |
Surprisingly, statistics show that, “85% of teen pregnancies are unplanned” meaning that 15% of them are. |
The biggest advice that this article can give is that expecting teen mothers should receive prenatal care because it is the “biggest risk” they can take when expecting. |
Refusal to receive prenatal care is not foreign to teens and because of “fear about telling others of pregnancy”, it is offered at free or low cost in most states. |
Prenatal care for expecting teens is crucial because the teenage body is still “growing and will need more nutritional support to meet the needs of her and her baby”. |
The use of alcohol and drugs may result in premature birth, which may also result in “brain damage and physical disabilities”. |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Teens are urged to receive prenatal care when they are expecting regardless of embarrassment of others knowing of their pregnancy. This is recommended immediately because the adolescent body is still developing and growing and needs more medical attention. Prenatal care is offered in many places for little to no cost.

Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
I don’t detect a bias in the author’s writing because he does provide a counterargument that there is some sort of relief if you are an expecting teen. However, I do detect a bit of bias in the site itself because there are links for other site that don’t relate to any pros of teenage pregnancy.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
I will use this source in my project to help the idea that teens are not only unprepared to have a child but they are also unfamiliar with their own bodies which could be a sign of immaturity and could affect their parenting skills in the future.
