Final Project

Teen pregnancy has been growing over the past few years when researchers said it was actually declining. It is estimated that there are about one million teen pregnancies in the United States alone. According to research the United States has the highest rates of births and teenage pregnancy in the western industrialized world. Rates are so high up its so crazy. Most teens end up pregnant for having sex at such a young age and then not being careful on top of that. Teen Pregnancy can be very emotionally and physically to the teen. When being pregnant you’re not only caring for yourself but you’re also caring for the baby. Being pregnant not only takes a toll on her, but also on the baby’s father and both of their families. This process also comes along with a lot of stress, crying, disappointment, money problems. Having a baby at such a young age is also very unhealthy to your body. This is very unhealthy because your body is starting to mature but then a baby is growing inside which is trying to form too. Then again, teen pregnancy can mature a person because they have a kid to care for, and even though they made a mistake they are now learning from it. Many teens that get pregnant either get homeschooled or drop out. Some teens even go back to school after a month which is kind of ridiculous. I think if they could have a kid they should spend time at home with it for at least six months and then get back into their routine. When young teen moms have their babies, they don’t get to take part in a lot of activities because there caring for their babies. Therefore Teen pregnancy comes with a lot of cons, even though it has some pros too.  When thinking about Teen pregnancy most people get very angry and hatred to those kids who choose to not be careful and add extra stress to other people lives. Some teens don’t really notice what is going on and how big of a choice it is to raise a kid while they are in high school.
