Teen Moms
I would like to designate this blog to me ranting about teen moms. I have 3 points that I feel strongly about in regards to teen pregnancy. These include lack of money, lack of maturity, and lack of stability.
Two teenagers that are attending high school cannot afford the costs of raising children, unless their parents are willing to completely support them. Secondly high school children are not mature enough to raise children. They want to be with their friends, and go partying, not be taking care of another life. It wasn't until my third year of college that I felt I was mature enough to raise children. You need to figure out your own life before you help mold a child. Lastly their is a lack of stability in teen mothers' lives. Teen mom's may or may not have a place to live, or space available for a baby. They also may not have a father for the child or know who the father is due to drunken hookups that have seen to become ever more popular among high schoolers. Children need two parents unless the mother has a stable income, housing, and time to give to that child. There are so many things that are completely uncertain when one is only sixteen, and it is not fair that a child should be brought into a world filled with unstable resources, housing, and relationships.
A final reason against teen pregnancies include the pressures to be out partying with friends. It is very dangerous to be partying while pregnant and can have many life threatening effects on the infant. If anyone is to have a child it should be an expected pregnancy so any substances can be avoided, and it should be into a stable home.
