Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Nancy Ramacciotti de. Motherhood among poor teenagers belonging to social and urban outskirts: analysis under the light of environmental psychology. Rev. bras. crescimento desenvolv. hum. [online]. 2005, vol.15, n.1, pp. 69-77. ISSN 0104-1282.

This paper presents considerations, based on concepts of environmental psychology, about breeding of poor teenagers belonging to the urban outskirts of large cities from the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Under these environmental and social conditions, pregnancy seems to be directly associated with lacks existing in the current models, which present needs that cannot be fulfilled by these teenagers. The breeding of poor teenagers in a globalized society, with the challenge of searching for a form of self-supported development, is understood as a psychosocial phenomenon, which must be handled with an inter-disciplinary approach, since it reaches larger realms, such as ethics and politics.

Keywords : Teenage pregnancy; Breeding of poor teenagers; Environmental Psychology; Environmental hazards for youngsters; Teenage breeding and protagonist role-playing; School.
