Recently I have been put in a position

that has made me think alot about teen pregnancy.

I always find myself thinking 'Is it such a bad thing?'

In my opinion teenagers these days are molly coddled way too much.

Parents treat their teenagers like children so they go out

and act like children by making stupid decisions and screwing up.

Back in the 1800's 13 year old girls were sent out

with their chosen husband to immediatly start a family

and that was considered normal.

These days girls are doing it by choice.

The only reason people think its wrong is because society says so.

I mean there are going to be 750 000 girls expecting this year,

is it that rare and strange and forbidden?

No.

If the teen parents are willing get a job to support their family

then whats the problem?

If you cant do that, dont have unprotected sex.

It only takes, what, 15-20 seconds of your time to slip a condom on

or take a tiny tiny pill.

If a couple thinks their ready to have a baby

and think they can handle the stresses

and still live a satisfying life why shouldnt they?

There are so many options for teenage parents in todays world.

i.e correspondance, early parents school etc etc.

You can even study university degrees from home while you're with baby!

Bringing new life into the world is the most amazing,

beautiful thing anyone could ever do.

Be your own person,

live your life the way you want

and dont let anyone else influence your decisions.

(because they're probably not worth it anyway.)
