being a teen parent takes away from the opportunities one would otherwise have. It happens and some are good just like other parents, but there isn’t any positives about being a teen parent.
You’re probably not going to find much because statistically speaking, being a teen parent is a serious impediment to both the parent and the child. You might consider adjusting the premise of your research paper from a broad defense of teen parents to an examination of what the pitfalls are and strategies to compensate for them and avoid them. There are always going to be exceptions to the rule, why not do some research on what you need to do to be one of the exceptions?
You could call up some pregnancy centers, T-MOPS (teenage Moms of Pre-Schoolers), and other groups who work with pregnant teenagers and use interviews as your research.
ETA: You could probably get some good information from whatever agency enforces child support in your area and by calling up some family law attorneys given that most teen parents are not married to the other parent.
There is no research that backs this up. Most research indicates that teen parents have to rely on tax payers, their own parents. They simple cant get the 30k jobs, the minimum needed to support a child fully. A teen’s brain is also not fully developed, so decision making and parenting is also not all it can be.
You won’t find “true” research on why teen parenting is a good idea, just opinions.
There are no research studies done on the positives of teen parenting because there really are none. Children need time with their parents, yet children also need food and diapers and such. If a mom is at school for 7 hours a day and then works another 4-6 hours after work to provide for her child, plus has homework to do, when is there time for parenting?
Love alone doesn’t provide diapers or formula.
I don’t think there is any. I am(Was that should be I’m 20 now!) a teen parent.
I’ll list my pros and cons-
Cons
Can’t go out on nights out often (then again I’m more of a house cat any way)
Education gets delt a massive blow (I had my DD when I was at college, finished highest of my class, BUT finished 4 weeks later then everyone else)
Usual cons of being a parent (poop, lack of sleep, vomit, bottles,)
Not enough money and I work but still, never enough money!
Pros
Having someone who LOVES you unconditionally,
watching them grow
As you can see from my view, the pros are the same as what any other parent would put. I live in England and there is a lot of support for teen parents. To be honest, it doesn’t matter what age you are when it comes to being a good parent. I know a lot of teen parents say this, but it IS true.
If I was you I would phone a maternity unit and ask them if they have anything they can suggest for you to read. Also visit some teen parent groups and talk to the parents there.
Good luck!
