the future that lies ahead
Although it has been found that the rate of teen pregnancy has been decreasing, it is still a major issue affecting our youth. Throughout my four years of high school and even my eighth grade year I have been witnessing teen pregnancies. Yes some of these girls seem happy when announcing their pregnancy but do they know the consequences that will affect them in the long run? It has been found that teenage girls who become pregnant are more likely not to go off to college and they also get a slow start on their career life. Moreover, teenage pregnancy leads to more birth complications and emotional stress that could be overwhelming for most teenagers. In the article that i read(pregnant teens) it brought my attention to the fact that pregnant girls in our school is on the rise ,there have been at least 3-4 girls in my grade alone that have gotten pregnant since 9th grade and i think at least 2 of them dropped out and the others missed so much school that there grades dropped majorly. I don't have a different opinion of these girls but they need to realize the road ahead of them is going to be 10 times harder than if they would not have been so careless.
