According to the CDC, the United States has the highest rate of teen pregnancy of all countries in the western world. This means that despite the fact that both world class education and contraceptives exist, the United States as a whole is unwilling to either make these accessible or take advantage of the resources it has access to. This can be due to economic or religious reasons, but at the end of the day the facts still stand: the United States has more teenage girls who are pregnant every single year than any other westernized country in the entire world.
As students, we’re all aware that our school has a credit hour restriction. For underclassmen, the restriction is 19 credit hours. For upperclassmen, the restriction is 20 credit hours. While we’re not sure exactly how many credit hours the standard is, the cost of attendance for students is budgeted with thirteen credit hours every semester in mind for each student. This is probably four three-credit classes and one one-credit class. However, many students on campus have never taken just the minimum number of classes and will possibly take at least 15 credit hours each semester. Since starting my time at Eastern, I have never taken fewer than 18 credit hours. I am currently taking 20 credit hours. As a sophomore here, it was challenging for me to be able to register for 20 credit hours. The only reason I was able to do so was because I had done well the previous semester and someone in the office of records and registration was able to see that and allowed me to take an extra credit. Looking at this situation, we should not have credit hour restrictions.
