Teen Pregnancy

Teen pregnancy is still taking its toll on all teenagers today. If a teen girl gets pregnant and becomes a mother at an early age, then that means no more going to the mall, the movies, parties or whatever. If a teen boy becomes a father at an early age, as well, then his future will be altered, and his life will be ruined. What I don't like about teen pregnancy is that all teenagers want to be parents while they're still in school. Teen pregnancy isn't a joke; it means that all teen parents will have to apply for their infants to get medicaid. Next thing he and/or she knows, they'll be getting welfare checks every month, go to doctor appointments, everything. And now that their parents will have been angry at the fact that their teen sons and teen daughters are becoming parents at an early age, including 14, and they're now grandparents. There's no way that these teens are going to become parents at an early age, let alone 12 or 15. They need to concentrate on getting their high school diplomas, college degrees, get married, and then have children. Every time their parents' backs are turned, all teen girls will have turned out to have been pregnant by random boys. I'm sick and tired of teen pregnancy always ruining their futures. Next thing everybody knows, these children, out of wedlock, will have populated the Earth by the year 2025. It's sad, it's a waste of everybody's time, and it's seriously pathetic. It makes me sick just to think about all teenagers, wanting to become parents at an early age. Now I know why I never became a teen dad at an early age, let alone 13,14,15 16, or 17. These teens are too young to be raising children. They need to focus on their education. If teen pregnancy keeps ruining the live and the hopes and dreams of all of the teenagers, then their parents, they're doomed. No children until education is completed and marriage.

Hello...I'm one of those grandparents you speak of and our baby is now 23, a college graduate and has always had a happy life filled with love. but back tracking, I remember when our high school daughter came home and said, "Mom I'm pregnant". I replied, "When is the baby due"? She answered, "September". I said, "Toys for Christmas!"....but I do understand the importance of your actually saying, "get your priorties in order" ...So thanks for the post....
