Teen Pregnancy

I sit in an open room watching young girls come in and out the clipboard in my lap she calls my name and i stand with slightly pudgy belly scared knowing there's a life already within she know's i'm scared, but leads me to the hallway bathroom handing me a cup for my sample so i do what i am told waiting in the exam room i am shaking when she reads the pregnancy test two single lines form i am pregnant i cry for a minute out of shame maybe relief, because now i know i'm not alone then i look at her puzzled I have no family, no relatives i've moved away so many times running from my past she hugs me, tells me everything will be fine I smile and believe her cause i have no one else to trust eight months later she is by my side at the hospital she smiles and says "everything will be fine" I cry because i know someone out there cares! *There is always someone out there that will help a teen in need. Women's center's are only a phone call away. mom, i'm pregnant contest karen croft

Do you know what else? Everybody should be against teen pregnancy.

That's a good write, Ms. Kroft. I also wrote poems in reference to teen pregnancy. As a matter fact, you should read the following poems in reference to teen pregnancy written by me: "Teen Pregnancy," "MTV's '16 and Pregnant'," "MTV's 'Teen Mom'," and "Teen Pregnancy 2: Teen Parenting," and see if you like them. And one question. Why must all teen girls wanting to get pregnant at an early age, including the age of 13 or 15? Why can't all teen boys and teen girls concentrate on their education? Teen pregnancy is sad, heartbreaking, and it's seriously pathetic.
