Sexual orientation refers to the gender someone is attracted to emotionally, romantically, and
sexually while gender identity is a personal sense of maleness or femaleness. These two are the
most astounding sex differences in the way men and women behave. Although these two
phenomena play a significant part in human life, their root components are not clearly
understood by people. People's central belief is that hormones play a significant role in a person's
sexual orientation and gender. The studies show that hormones are not substantial evidence to
explain either of these behaviours in many humans. According to Dr. Spack, there are many
mismatches between many children's internal and external, which makes it hard to define their
gender. During puberty, the child knows whether they are transgender, and it is tough to change
that. Sexual orientation and gender identity can be very confusing. He believes that it is essential
to freely affirm their gender identity and let them be what they want to be. This is because there
is a risk of not doing anything for them if they're going to come out. This may put the person in
question at the risk of wanting to commit suicide. It also brings a question about whether our
society indeed treats people equally.
Our attractions and identities are a powerful part of who we are. The source of gender is not
clearly understood, and maybe not the same for everyone. The essence of gender is likely
established by hormonal influences ((Norsigian & Collecte, 2014)).
ASSIGNMENT 3
Teen Pregnancies
The rate of teen pregnancies ha continued to increase despite the increased availability of
condoms. Different groups of people could help rectify this situation ranging from origin leaders,
government officials to the teenagers themselves. Parents play a significant role in the lives of
their children. When children become teenagers, every parent should prepare to advise the young
ones according to peer pressure. They can help make sure their kids are not victims of teenage
pregnancies by being clear about their sexual values and attitudes and talk to them early enough
on sex and love and being specific. I think the best thing parents can do is help their teens to
have alternatives for their future that are more appealing than early pregnancy and childhood.
Because most young people spend most of their life in school, it is recommended that teachers
promote educational success more than anything and instill a sense in teenagers that life has
more positive options. Teachers should aim to increase sexual education so that the teens may be
equipped with social skills and knowledge to make responsible decisions. This also will help
them have an idea of when they should initiate sex in their lives. As a leader, one has to act fast
and first, engage themselves in new projects and activities, and blend with all types of people in
the society, whether young or old. A religious leader should be on the front line of getting things
done (Ibarra,2015). Thus, as a spiritual leader, one can help prevent teenage pregnancies by
offering opportunities to interact with teens directly and help parents talk with their children
about sensitive subjects like sexuality and pregnancy prevention. The best thing they can do is
encourage teens to love religion to teach them to uphold religious beliefs that enable them to lead
responsible lives. The government can also help by providing affordable family planning
services. The best way they can help is by evaluating programs in communities where teen
pregnancies are the highest. As much as anyone tries to prevent teenage pregnancies, the teens

themselves are the ones who can best help reduce the cases. They need to have a positive attitude
towards leading their lives right, admire achieving more in life, and have better future options.
There needs to be an encouragement to do right and become better. Teenagers need to know the
consequences of teenage pregnancy above all.
