FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: The article cites Maria Nikolajeva, a professor of at Cambridge, as saying that Bella does not "in any way promote independent thinking or personal development" in women, instead portraying a woman "meek and willing to do anything for her vampire boyfriend" (POV). |
Swierzewski MD, states that teen pregnancy is a major issue and "there are health risks for the baby" and also the "women who become pregnant during their teens"(Swierzewski). |
The article says that a decline in teen pregnancies can be attributed to one of two reasons, either "more effective birth control practice" or also "decreased sexual activity amoung teens"(Swierzewski ). |
According to the article, the rate of teen pregnancy could possibly be lowered if "older children" were "educated about sex and sexuality" and also "about the consequences of pregnancy"(Swierzewski). |
Teenage parents tend to have harder lives and about"eighty percent of teen mothers rely on welfare at some point"(Swierzewski). |
Along with the stress of being a teen parent, most "teenage mothers are more likely to drop out of school" the truth is "only about one-third od teen mothers obtain a high school diploma"(Swierzewski). |

I do not detect any hint of bias in this article, there are only facts and statistics.
