I am very angry with this whole teen pregnancy rates going up higher than ever now days.
Nobody is shocked if a 15-17 year old is pregnant.Its nearly nomal now.Because we hear about teen pregnancys everywhere,especialy on soaps. If a 12-14 year old says they are pregnant we will be a little shocked but we wont be as shocked as we would of been 10years ago. We will accept it.
I actualy thiink it is becoming a trend. To shock your family anf friends and your boyfriend by saying your pregnant, and get all the attention in the world, and get lots of drama, and you go around being a drama queen. I do actualy believe that teenagers who have kids love their child but I also believe there is a part of them who really likes the attention. This most stop! If this gos on in the future every little kids parents will be only about 16years older than them, and they will not be with their father. They will be either divorced and single and looking or married to someone who isnt their father. And they will probably have step-grandparents and half-siblings. And half-uncles and step-uncles. I do not think that is healthy.
A child should have a mom and a dad who love each other and grandparents who are together. They should not have to be put through haveing step families. They will probably feel think love is cheap and not really know what love is (no matter how much the mother tells him/her she loves him/her to make up for the messy family thing) and become a bad behaving rebel.
I am so sick of all this teen's coming up to their parents or whoever and saying 'im pregnant' they are secretly thinking they are gonna get the attention they want. It is perfetic. If your life's boring and you think no one really care's about u and you think you need some drama dont get pregnant, you dont need a baby to show people your a strong intresting person.
I dont think it helps that soap's on tv always has a plot where teen's get pregnant. Teens watching will see it and see all the drama and think 'i want a piece of that' and I dont think it helps that they talk so much about sex now days on tv and laugh about it and they turn around and start talking about how teen pregnancy rate is an issue. They were talking about sex. And they expect teen not to watch and suddenly swich the channel. They are all hypocrites.
I think the best way is to not give teens too much symphony and attention, just tell them oh, ok your pregnant. Well good luck.Bye. And eventualy all the teen's will start to get sick of it. And they will stop having children.
And I think all this accepting teen pregnancy thing must stop. They should at least pretend to be appoled. And then ignore (not completely but dont go on about how she is pregnant and having a child so much) her.
I think teens who want to be pregnant they think if they have a child you can still get lots of good things in life like boyfriends still. Teens in the past may have thought if they have a child thats it. Your life stops there its feeding your child for the rest of your life. But teen now days know better and know there are many many options out there helping you and your child. So they dont really mind having one or two children. Its even pretty cool. 'oh im called mia and im 17 I have two children.'
all im saying is teen's out there who are considering not using protection tonight and gonna pretend you forgot to take the pill think twice. Why do you want a child now? You are still a intresting amazing person with out one. Wyhy do you need a baby to make you whole? I bet there are many other things out there besiders a baby that will make you feel complete. Say finding your perfect man and building a good strong relationship with him. Or concentrating on your school/college work. I bet you want to be someone with a important job when your older. Or you could concentrate on you looks and try to shapeup if you think u look as good as you can get your self to look that will maybe make you feel complete. See you dont need a son or a daughter to make your self feel complete.
Yo dont need a label on you saying 'mother' . You can have a label on you saying 'pretty clever girl with lots of friends who wants to become a nurse someday' or something like that.(if that make's sence.) its just as good or even better as having a label saying 'mother'.
Im not saying teen parents are bad parents. I would never say that. I know a 16year old who is the bestest mom you could ever imagine. But im saying you can be a great mom when your 20 or something. Not now.. Why do you want your child to have a messy family?(like he/she's gonna live with you and her/his step father and see his real daddy on weekends or he/she dosnt see him at all because you and him dont talk.) why cant you wait just at least 4 years? When you have a good b/f or when your married and when you have lots of qualifications and when youv done traning or wotever. Why now? Isnt it gonna be harder finding mr.Right? Going to uni/school/college/traning? Because you have part time jobs to pay for her/his nanny/day care while your out studying?? Just think. Why do you want to hurry????? Life is really long and I think it wud be as cool to be pregnant when your 20-23 as when your 17 or under. Dont you think so????
I want to get pregnant when im 19 or 20. And with my husband/fiance.And when im nearly done training to become a nurse. Dont u all think thats much better than being preggo when your in school doing ya gcse's and having a part time job??(and your bf somewhere out there drunk and lyeing in some gutter hammered )
