Teen Pregnancy

So yeah, first discussion topic. Not sure if i sounded too cruel or if it all flowed right, feel free to comment on the writing itself. Other than that post your own thoughts or debates on the topic! look forward to seeing you

The first discussion topic, and the one which launched the idea for this page in the first place, is Teen pregnancies!   Now, I know several girls who have either become pregnant recently, or had children of their own already.  Yes, the gift of life is something incredible isn’t it? Something to cherish, yes.  But this is your teen years here, we are talking not even out of high school fourteen to fifteen year olds going out and getting knocked up by their little sweetie pie Johnny Hotshot.  Now there are several different ways all of this can happen, so I in no way intend to insult or downgrade the couples who took all precautions and a baby still popped out 9 months later, it’s just naturally this is normally not the case.

WEAR A DAMN CONDOM!  So many people from high school I knew back in the day would say “why wear condoms it feels terrible, just pull out before it happens” I will not feel bad for you when she ends up pregnant and you decide you’re not ready, it goes down the tubes, and you’re stuck paying for the child up into its adult years.  

I do realize every couple thinks they will last forever and this is it, but sorry, that is nearly never the case.  But okay, I will let you think that for a moment.  You’re a teenager and your with your soul mate.  Sure.  So having a kid does what for you?  You do realize how much work a child is?  How much they cry and whine, nearly ripping apart married couples never mind young adult couples.  All those lovely little dates you and your hubby go on?  Picture how they would look with a little sobbing crying pooping mess following you around every corner.  Your life is completely different now.  You cant go out constantly and party all night, you have a child depending on you.  You now need to find a legitimate job, which is impossible at an age such as thirteen…  So what, you toss some extra burden on mommy and daddy?  

This actually goes for married couples as well.  Spend a couple years enjoying each before you have a little hellion to look after kay?  After that point there is always another factor to everything.  You cant really go off on your own, and when you do there is the thought of the child in the back of your mind the entire time.  

So do me a favor, wear a condom if you must “do the dirty” eh?  Theres enough whiny know it all children with children of their own in the world.

I don't much like this opinion, though the style is fine. Every point in here, though, I already have covered. What I mean is, I'm 17 and want to become pregnant. And I already have all of these warning covered in my mind- every sacrifice of my life would be worth it, because I'd gain more than I'd lose. You failed to keep in mind those like me out there, because not every teenage out there is the same, and whether you'd make a good parent does not just rely on age. In fact, don't you realize that so many teenage parents out there are far better parents than several adult parents? Neglecting, abuseing adults? Age is blind to that, as well. But you failed to mention the exception the the rule- that is where the failure lies.

Either road, I enjoyed the article. It provoked more thoughts for me. :)
