The teen pregnancy rate has dropped dramatically in the past 25 years and even more so since the recession back in 2007, so there is no trend towards greater numbers or rate of teen pregnancy.
I don't think teen pregnancy or parenthood is the end of the world. When speaking from a biological viewpoint, by the time a girl is 16-18 years old, her body is primed and ready to start bearing children. It's only really a problem in today's society because teenagers are dependent on their parents and are in school. I think the real problem with teen pregnancy is that the vast majority of teenagers who are becoming parents are unmarried and we all know how teenage relationships tend to work out.
Sociology collects data and from that data, comes to conclusions. The conclusion that sociologists have come to is that teen age out of wedlock parenting does NOT WORK.
I am tired of abused, molested and dead children.
People under 21 can't drink a glass of wine. But somehow, raising a child is OK?
PLEASE!
In other words....you...can't...back...up...a...single....r idiculous...claim....YOU...made....
Thanks for telling us "what sociologists do", sociology is as soft as "soft science" gets....most "data" that sociologists collect is nonsense...and yet you can't even seem to provide even a snippet of "sociology data" to back up your made up garbage
But I'll give you some help - Google - "children living in homes with unrelated adults - danger".
Those children run the highest risk of molestation, abuse and death. A significant amount of them were born to underage women out of wedlock.
If you have "degrees" then you should know how it works...
If YOU make a claim and cite purported "facts" to back up said claim the onus is on YOU to provide the sources and data to back up said "facts" NOT the person(s) you are trying to convince
If you can't or won't do so your entire argument can be considered fallacy....which yours clearly is by the way
You made the claim...you get to support it. Since you refuse to...I am going to assume you are talking out your ass.
Also children living with unrelated adults says nothing about if they were born to teenage mothers or born out of wedlock.
I see you and I think alike here .
