Increased Teen Pregnancys?
Posted: 11-27-03 06:52am

Hey guys... Gals ... You know what I mean Confused

Ok anyway. I was over at aj's school to watch his basketball game. And there were 3 teens there cheering on their boyfriends... Who had babies with them. And they were theres! And there were 5 there that were pregnant and showing. Is it just me or does everyone seem to be having babies all of a sudden Confused Confused Confused

I donno I guess it just seemed weird to walk in to watch a basketball game and see so many pregnant teens or teens who already had babies all at once... Confused

Yea I definitely agree that teen pregnancy has become more and more common these days....Two of my ex-boyfriends have babies and there's at least(caps) 15-20 pregnant teens at my school....Not to mention all the girls who aborted their pregnancies Crying
or Very sad .....Everybody's starting to have sex so young, that they aren't educated enough to realize that what they're doing isn't used for just pleasure, but to reproduce also...And then when they do get pregnant, they say that they didn't know having sex without a condom could get them preggo! The most recent one ive heard is, if you have dry sex(without clothes on) and you're still a virgin, you cant get pregnant because your "cherry hasnt been popped"...Scary isnt it? Thank god ive educated myself enough to know the do's and don'ts of sex!

In my school teen pregnancy is like a disease! Everywhere you look their are preggy teens and if they aren't preggy they are mothers. Half of my friends are 16-18 years old and half of them are mothers or mothers-to-be. I know that at least 3 out of every 20 people at my school are preggers!

I cant believe it!! There were no pregnant teens in my school! In my college,there was one girl who had a baby at 14 (he'd b like 4 now) & we were all so shocked at that! U see quite a few young girls with babies but the kids r usually mingin cos they have dirty clothes & snotty noses! But then again....At least these girls keep their babies & look after them as best they can
