Teen pregnancy is a big issue in the world today. Most teens aren't responsible enough to take precautions and use protection. Having sex is a big responsibility and a big decision your first time. Sex is not a game, although, it seems like everyone is doing it, it's still a matter that needs to be taken very seriously.
Teen girls aren't meant to be mothers. They should be out enjoying life and hanging out with their friends. They're probably just starting their first jobs and learning to fend for themselves. No teenager needs to have the burden of a child, especially since we're all still children ourselves.
Every year now so many babies are killed by abortion because their mothers weren't ready to have a baby. The child is innocent and it should have a fair chance at life. It's not the baby's fault that it was conceived. Adoption is a much better option for teen mothers who aren't ready to be mothers.
I think that more needs to be done to prevent teen pregnancy. Girls need to know that birth control is available and guys should know that there is no age requirement to buy condoms. If teenagers would just stop and think before having sex then I think that would help the numbers of teen pregnancy to lower.
Most teenagers aren't ready to be parents and the rare few that are will probably end up missing out on a lot of things that they wanted to do, like go to college.

It's not just using protection that's the problem. Teens aren't necessarily emotionally ready for sex because they're not mature yet. Some say that Abstinence-Only education is to blame, but I'm not sure.

Mind Control is Easier Than You Think
I completely understand what you're saying about teens not being emotionally ready for sex, but this blog mainly focuses on teen pregnancy not on teens and sex. Teens and sex would be a whole other blog which I will probably do in the near future. I try to keep my blogs on only one subject at time as to not confuse people as to what I am talking about and to not get myself too far off track.
A agree that the big issue isn't even the children they're not supposed to bring into the world; its the fact that, mentally, they're still children themselves and don't understand what sex really is.
Frankly, our generation is so desensitized to sex that its become a joke.
This blog wasn't meant to be about teens and sex, just about teen pregnancy. Teens and sex will be a whole other blog entry.
I Agree with what you said an 100 percent. If Teenagers girls and guys knew about the risk they are putting themselve in when they taught about having sex. If they only knew about the hardship having a baby can bring to you as a couple and to both of they family. I know that you said that this blog is not about teen and sex but it is about teen pregnancy . i do agree with what you and the other person who comment you said, it the fact that teens don't understand the meaning of sex and yeah some of them do think about it as a game. i just wish that both guy and girl would realize the life changing decision they are making everytime they decide to have sex. You said that you wish that girl would learn about birth controls and how guys should know that it have no age requirement to buy condom, i don't agree with that i think that both the girl and the boy should know about birth control and if the girl really want to have sex she should also be prepare with a condom of her own, if the guy don't have one.
