Teen Pregnancy...

So far in this year I've known four, now five, people expecting a child. One who has already given birth, but she is in her 20's.. its still young age. One of my best-friends girlfriend is due in may, he can probably handle it, he is used to raising younger kids within his family.

My perspective towards teen pregnancy is if you are under the age of 18 and you know you can not handle it, then have an abortion. Yet, if you think you can go for it. A lot of you probably disagree with me because it is that persons choice because it is their body but that is how I see it. My best-friend is about four months now, 16, but she has 100% support from my family as well as hers. I mean at least she has a plan regarding school and her future with the child. As well as my other friend who just recently found out she was pregnant and she has no full, blown out plan. All I know is the guy she is going to live the rest of her life with is a big mistake whose society revolves around violence and stupidity.



Teenagers don't think of the consequences of sex until something really does happen. ABSTINENCE people! Statistics state that every year 750,000 teenagers get pregnant and 405,000 abortions are performed. The cost of a child... $400,000! Becoming pregnant makes teens think that is a way to keep their boyfriends forever and it is not. Babies make it more difficult on teens then it already is.
