Not everyone is going to feel comfortable answering this question, because of the nature behind it. My mother had her first child at 16, I can ask her if she will be willing to answer it, yet i dont know because yes the nature behind it.

How long ago did you get it? and how much have you done?

Mine was due ages ago like last term.

Good luck!

Hi, I'm doing the effects of social groups on an indivdual.
Its a topic that can be spread across all ages and I would really like some pointers as to how I should write up a plan.

Find some topics that really interest you and that you have strong beliefs in. Once you have established that come up with a hypothesis that you can link back to a syllabus dot point.

There are a range of different aspects that you can look at. Some I just thought of may involve;

Relationships/Interactions (This could be broken down smaller into an area like boyfriend girlfriends).

Media Influences- conformity issues. ---- Preconceived notion to be thin like the models, so as to fit into social norms.

Technological Impacts- Texting would be good ( as there have been recent media articles about this that you could use).

Political Correctness- Linking back to sources of conflict/stereotypes and various groups in context. Major issues in the headlines about this.

Something to do with wellbeing and self-esteem levels and how they are affected- e.g. maybe comparison of work trends from past to present.

PS> There is a big list somewhere on this site with a whole heap of ideas. Just ask one of the moderators and I am sure they will help you find this.

I hope that I was able to provide you with some suggestions.

Also, make sure that you keep your diary updated and that you work on your IRP whenever you have a chance so that you don't end up rushing it. This is extremely important if you have to manage your time around your other Majors as well.

Good luck to all, best wishes for your IRP's!

On teenage pregnancy? I don't think you can do observation on a subject like that, but with the case study, isn't that just looking up something like a journal for someone who's been through it?
If it isn't I understand, but if it is, could you just ask one of the participants of your study (if you don't have one, just ask someone who has been through the experience) to write a basic diary of what happened and how they felt about it?
I guess you could write about how the subject felt about it and then about how you felt about their story and just fluff it up with some facts and numbers...
I'm not very sure, so don't take my advice too close to heart.

You are pretty much accurate. The observation could work in some instances, as you could observe and tally up the number of pregnant teens whilst walking around the shops or something. A case study would be a better way to go personally, as the information has already been conducted by another person. You could obtain the diary entries; however, they are not really detailed to be used alone. I would probably find some statistics to say that teen pregnancy is on the increase or decline in today's society and give some reasons as to why and support it with a different methodology perhaps a survey into why the teen is having a family/child at such a young age. You also need to be vigilant about social and ethical issues as some teenage parents may not wish to disclose this type of information.

If all else fails discuss your topic with your teacher and do up a quick plan of methodologies and how you will implement them. Also, record this process of how you tried to obtain help in your journal, as it shows time planning and resource management techniques. Good luck!

I do believe this is a good topic. However, you may want to narrow your hypothesis a bit further. As how it affects an individual is too broad, perhaps how it affects physical or emotional wellbeing would yield more accurate responses. This is why a pilot survey is a good way to find out if your hypothesis or any questions need to be re-worded. Good Luck!
