Teen Pregnancy

Teen Pregnancy is affeting a lot of youg girls in the united state including a really good friend of mine. Teen pregnancy can affect many families and friends. Young girls need to realize that teen pregnancy can greatly affect their lives in a negative way because it stops them from finishing school and from going to college and doing the everyday things they used to.

In the case of my friend she had to loose her family support she had to switch schools and she lost a lot of her friends due to the fact that she moved away. she will not be able to graduate with her class because she will be in the emergency room delivering her child. she will also have to postpone goin to college untill she can find someone who will help watch the child for her to go to college at night or she will have to get a job to pay for the baby to be put in day care.

My friend had a full scholarship to a college for playing the violin and since she thought it would be okay to have a baby because her and her boyfrind loved each other she lost the scholarship and cant pursue her dream to be a famous person. So girls please think twice before you decide to get pregnant at such a young age because once you have a child you have to grow up very fast.

Being a mom at such a young age can be very dificult because there will be times that your going to want to go out and you wont be able to because you dont have someone to watch the baby and your going to have to miss out on a lot of things a young teenage girl shouldnt miss out on. Imagine missing your senior prom imagine missing out on your gradution imagine missing out hanging out with your friends, all these things can happen to any teenage girl.

Umm...Can you space out the paragraphs a little more (the average blog-paragraph is about 2-4 sentences to allow for easy reading on a computer)?

I know how that goes. One of my close friends had a baby in the fall of our junior year and even though she still has her parents and sisters for support thats about all she has. The father hardly comes around and he just lives like he doesnt have to be responsible for his actions. She is still able to come out with us but she has to be sure to plan ahead. She is going to go to college for four years and live at home with her parents. Im sure its not what she had in mind but of anyone i know she can probably handle this the best. She is a good mom and she takes care of her son so well. She thinks the world of him, and even though its not something that you want to happen i doubt she would take it back because she loves him very much.

I agree i know a couple of girls struggling with teen pregnancy. I noticed the main problem was her peers supporting it like they were married and financaly stable asking questions like "When is your baby shower?" or " Are you planning on having another one?"

I feel like you are somehow falling short of what you should do for your friend. As someone who's young sister is currently pregnant, someone who regrets the way he responded at that, I think you need to do everything in your power to support your friend.

You listed a lot of things that you feel so certain that she will not have now that she is pregnant. Your friend can have whatever she wants, she'll just have to work very hard to get them. Pregnancy isn't the end of life, it's the beginning.

im behind my friend n supporin her in everything she does but the only reason i mentioned that was because shes stoping herself from doin that she doesnt wanna continue b/c she says the baby is stoppin her but you are completly right with wat u said about it being the beginig n not the end cause its tru thanx for the comment

I dont think that getting pregnant should stop any girl from getting what she wants and needs. I just means that she might have to work harder, but she can still get there. I believe that there are grants for women that have babies and are still striving to get into school and what not...correct me if im wrong. But you know, things happen, life changes, but she can have good changes if she just tries to keep up with it, even though it would be hard. Just be there for your friend as much as you can and im sure she'd appreciate every bit of it! And to be honest with you, there were several girls at my prom who went pregnant and it was kinda cute! But I think in the end things will work out for her, itll just take awhile and a hella lot of work!

its shouldnt stop them but some gurls stop themselves im behind my friend with every decision that she makes but thanx for the comment and yeah itl take a hella lot of work but if she doesnt quit i know shell make it
