Teenage Parenthood
.... cancer for chronic marijuana smokers and possible damage to the immune and reproductive systems. In addition, marijuana opponents argue that many users attain a psychological dependence on the “high” that marijuana can create. Such dependence can result in stunned emotional and social maturity as these users lose interest in school, job, and social activities. About 100,000 people each year resort to drug abuse treatment programs to end their marijuana addiction. Marijuana is also viewed b .....

Teenage Pregnancy
.... The courses that are offered in schools have proven not to have any influence on the teenage pregnancy rates. The reason for this may be that the courses are just not being taught effectively or are targeting the wrong age group:
‘Two major goals of the school sex education programs are to reduce the incidence of unwarranted pregnancy as well as the rates of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. However, to be effective, programs must begin early. If we wait until an age when most .....

Teenage Pregnancy 2
.... not become resolved, and the government continues to fork over our money to the young families.
Next, to even begin to come up with a solution to this problem, one must identify the cause of it. Is irresponsibility of young adults the only reason for this growing problem? Why are more and more teenagers becoming pregnant as time goes on? And why hasn't this been such a big problem thirty years ago?
All deserving speculation, there are many possible reasons why teenage Americans are becoming unwe .....

Teenage Rights
.... thumb crossing behind them. Do not let this be confused with a gang sign, as did the two police officers. I was told that I was to receive a citation upon the next time I threw this “Gang Sign” in public, for Disorderly Conduct. Upon our leaving a police officer followed the car of “John Doe” for a block and a half and then pulled over his vehicle. There was no reason for the officers to follow his car in the first place. Upon pulling over his car I walked over to “Joh .....

Teenage Sex
.... to 19 in 1990, to 101 in 1995. That 14 percent drop brought the rate to its lowest level since 1975 (Casey Foundation, 1996). Rather than deal with a pregnancy after the fact, more teenagers seem to be trying to prevent pregnancies. Teenagers are learning to better use contraceptives and are using them more frequently than before. Some teenagers are aware of the contraceptives available, but they just choose not to use them. Others may find it difficult and embarrassing to talk to their partners abou .....

Teenage Suicide

Now...the ‘in' thing to do is balance a job and become successful while bringing up your kids. If we are not careful about this trend...soon kids will be a bother rather than a joy. This mentality has caused the teens of today to feel that they need .....

Teenagers On After-school Jobs
.... jobs. Working teenagers can financially help their parents, get experience for future jobs and stay away from violence. A teenager with a job feels more independent and responsible than a non-working teen. The teenager can bring money into the house to pay for his own necessities. It can also help the teen for future jobs by giving him experience, and it can keep the teenager away from violence. Parents should let teenagers get jobs as long as their teenager wants and it will not influence their performan .....

In the future, it is expected that the telecommunications-based technologies to become the primary means of delivery of distance teaching. The reasons for this are as follows:

Telecommuting
.... that less office space will be needed and how employees of company’s that offer telecommuting often have a better retention rate than company’s that do not. According to a small computer firm based in Seattle, they save over $500,000 a year since they do not need to lease more office space for their growing company.
The cost to set up telecommuting is also very reasonable, “…and companies are recognizing that it costs them practically nothing and there is a huge number of .....

Telecommuting 2

An increase in the percentage of people telecommuting to work will decrease the need for expanded highways and associated road maintenance. Once a person arrives at a central office working location, he or she represents another energy consumer, often times magnified over what would be required at home. The office building has heating, cooling, .....

Telemedicine

Even though telemedicine is a very powerful tool, many barriers must be broken in order for this technology to succeed. There are many obstacles and the main one is the resistance from physicians. Many health care providers are reluctant to learn how to use new technologies; especially the older doctors who work at the rural and geographically isolated regions. On the other hand, telemedicine will allow health care providers to consult with expert in thei .....

Telepathy

Telepathy is one symptom to indicate mental disorders which makes it hard to research it well. This is what may happen, a person who has lived in a childhood environment that is not ideal, such as one parent was consistently abusive, stores the frustration and anger of their childhood in an area of the cortex in a particular "neural network". Up to about the age of 25 (this may vary from person to person) the young brain which i .....

infection. If a student was at a party and decided, on the spur of the
moment, to engage in sexual intercourse, then it is more likely that they
have a condom if schools distributed them. This sounds good in theory, but
will it really work? If schools distribute condoms, shouldn't they also
teach the students how to use them and teach them a little about sex (sex
education in schools, another controversial topic)?
The world certainly needs to try to decrease teena .....

Television 2

Without television commercials a person may never hear about a product that could benefit their life. For example, a commercial for allergy medication can let someone know that there is relief for their symptoms. This may never have been possible if the person wasn’t watching television and saw the commercial for the product. Advertising .....

Television cannot, on its own, serve as an instrument of culture. It has, to be appreciated that it is not well suited for detailed analysis or in-depth investigation. The way it operates and its hi-tech infrastructure are such that it .....
