Conclusion
-
Restatement of Thesis: By way of the lower financial rank of the country and as this era becomes more detached from their parents, teenagers gravitate to have a lack of intimate education hence obtain accidental well-being risks and another existence to provide for.
Summary of Connections / Next Steps: The government of the countries used should be able to offer programs and resources where… Teenagers are able to have access to an important piece of life; they all will go through that stage and there is nothing better than preventing a disease and a weight on their back that they aren’t prepared for. Parents need to be honest and nakedly advise and speak up how life is and their bodies work; check on their kids quite often.
