Hi. I have observed lately that teenage pregnancy is becoming rampant nowadays. And it's alarming because these teens irresponsible actions are adding to the global problem of growing population and eventually hunger at the same time. They dont even know what to do after the baby comes out. I think it's time parents should impose something stricter, or the government perhaps could impose birth control systems and stuffs like that. I myself am afraid that my kids in the near future will also experience the same dilemma. I dont know how Im going to deal with it. Gosh...

Ok, I had my first child when I was sixteen years old it was the first time I had ever done anything and I am married to the only guy I have ever been with. I am not standing up for teen's getting pregnant I think young women should wait it is the smart thing to do exspeically if they are wanting to go to college and have a career learn life. But I will state that it is not the parents fault my parents raised me to wait and my father was very strict military retiree so you can probably imagine. It was all me I have a saying it was hormones over logic when your a teen you don't think about tomorrow your lucky if they think about next week. But hormones are alot about teen's getting pregnant. I am all for school's being able to give birth control out because alot of teens want and have the urge to and they are going to whether they are protected or not but they are too scared to go to their parents. But as far as a teenage being able to raise a child it is possible I raised my son and now all together I have three kids at the age of twenty and I am a stay at home mom while my husband works he is eight years older than me though. It is possible though. All I really wanted to say though is it's not how your raised it's each individual person.

It all depends on the understanding that the parents put inside their daughters! it has nothing to do with the outer world, day to day they must be frank with their daughters and ask like a friend not like a mom/ dad! This way they can be more frank and tell whats going on in their mind!
