The problem of risk factors contributing to teenage pregnancy can be view from an ecological perspective (Hutchinson, 2003). According to Hutchinson, the ecological perspective looks at person in the environment and the affects it has on its members. The social environment consists of the different types of interactions with individuals, groups, and organizations. Whether its face to face contact, homes people live in, involvement in the community, the different types of jobs and pay that people obtain will affect the outcome of their lives (Kirst & Hull, 2006). People of all ages, different ethnic background, and sexual orientation are heavily influence by the activities that goes on in their environment and without adequate means of support, people’s ability to function as a wholesome person will diminish (Hutchison).The aspects of the ecological perspective may illustrate the situations of the participants interviewed in this research study. The ecological perspective looks at the teenage mother in her social environment and how the environment has an adverse impact on her well being if not provided with adequate resources. Many of the participants in this study have to live with dysfunction within the larger context of the environment such as poor community infrastructure, reduced access to medical benefits, poor housing opportunity, and lack of educational opportunity. The teenage mother are also expose to drug activities outside her home, prostitution on the street, gang violence in the neighborhoods and poverty. These illicit activities have a negative impact and limits how the teenage views her life and future aspirations due to the sense of hopelessness, powerlessness and oppression. Basically, the ecological perspective illustrate that without adequate resources to ameliorate these problems, the likelihood of early pregnancy, school drop out, dependent on government assistance, chemical dependency are more likely to occur.
