“Adolescent is used to describe young people who are no longer children but who have not yet become adults, “(Collins dictionary). The figure above shows a bar graph of five races who gave birth. Each race is represented by a different colour.    The graph shows adolescents between ages fifteen to seventeen (15–17) who gave births at a rate of 1,000 by race or ethnicity from 2000 to 2012.  The figures range from a low as (four) 4 to the highest of fifty six (56) per thousands.  In all of the years, the Hispanic has the highest number of births, followed by the African, Non Hispanic who has the second highest number of births.  The Asian and Pacific Islander has the lowest number of births then followed by the White Non Hispanic.  The group that falls in the middle is the American Indian or Alaska Native.   The figures show that in 2000 the Hispanic has the highest number of births while each year it gradually decline.  The year 2012 is the lowest number for that group, while it was less than half the number in the year 2000. The same decline was evident for all other races. This showed that there was a trend with all the races in the last year where the year 2000 has the most births while 2012 has a massive declined compare to all other years.  For the Hispanic 2003 and 2004 have the same number of births.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
