TeenInk If this is the ending of the story, what is the beginning? http://t.co/gRzPosYXRi
Lately to me it looks like becoming pregnant at a young age is suddenky a trend for young teens today? I swear everywhere i turn someone new and young is pregnant. Recently a 14 year girl had a kid and is only in junior high? Why is this now a sudden trend? I dont understand.
It's not a recent trend, it's been happening forever, in fact, there was a higher teen pregnancy rate in the seventies then there is now. Maybe the issue is just being brought to light more in this age. Prehistoric humans gave birth to their first child around 14, so it's nothing new at all. The problem isn't really the fact that the parents are young, but that they are irresponsible. People back in the paleolithic and mesolithic era grew up fast, they had their survival to think about. People in our modern society remain children until they are 18, or even older. It takes them longer to grow up, where thousands of years ago they were considered adults as soon as they finished going through puberty.

Some people make bad choices. Chosing to have sex with someone is a personal matter, and you never know the reasons why they did it. It's never really safe to assume "s.lu.t" or anything like that. Anyway, having a kid in junior high is a terrible idea bc it'll take loads of time away from your studies.
