Teen Pregnancy 2: Teen Parenting

All teenagers will have become parents at an early age, including the age of 14, after giving birth to their offspring. It will have affected the lives of teen moms and teen dads and the lives of their parents. It seems that once they become parents at a young age, there's no more hanging out with friends, no more going to parties, no more going to the movies or the mall, no more of any of that stuff. It also seems that their parents' futures have been altered due to the fact that they were going to become grandparents early. Everybody also knows that all teen parents can't take care of their babies and go to school at the same time; it's a total waste of time. All of their parents still don't understand why all teenagers have to be parents (a teen mother and a teen father) at an early age, including 13. This is starting to look like a bunch of episodes of "16 & Pregnant" and "Teen Mom" on MTV. Now that those teenagers are planning to become parents at an early age, even in high school, they'll be forced to give up their dreams of going to college, being doctors, being lawyers, or whatever; thereby dropping out of middle school and/or high school. All of the parents should know that teen parenting is a total waste of time and it's a heartache for all. No matter what the moms and the dads do, no matter how hard they try to prevent their teen sons and teen daughters from ever being parents at an early age, let alone 13 or 15, their futures will have been at stake. It also seems that when the backs of all parents are turned, those teens start to have unprotected sex and the next thing everybody knows, those teen boys will have gotten those teen girls pregnant three (3) days later by those teen boys, and their parents will have been outraged. There's no way that these teens are going to be parents at an early age, let alone 16. They need to concentrate on their education and getting their high school diplomas and/or college degrees. And those teen couples, they should've used condoms and they should've waited until after they've gotten married. Teen parenting is starting to make all of their parents sick. It breaks their hearts just thinking about it. All parents really need to get involved in the lives of their teen sons and teen daughters and prevent them from being parents at an early age. All teenagers are not to have children until after their education is finished and their married. Teen pregnancy and teen parenting must end right now.

I took a look at both your writes and it is a sad state of affairs and seems to be the "norm" these days and having the shows you've named on T.V almost glorifying these issues is not helping any. I refuse to watch any of these shows. There needs to be more accountability all around. Alexa
