Teen pregnancy should not happen but it happens. There are multiple ways to prevent pregnancy. A few ways to avoid pregnancy include birth control, plan b, and condoms. Most pregnancies undergo certain circumstances like financial issues and unpreparedness. How should society respond? Normally when it comes to teen pregnancy, it’s usually up to the mother of the baby herself if she wants to keep it or not. Society tends to react negatively due to the stereotype that pregnant teenagers will struggle academically and would not have a good enough income to provide for the child at a young age. When it comes to this topic, the majority of parents don’t approve of their child being pregnant during high school because of how it will affect their future and their family’s outlook. Personally, I know some adults who went through teen pregnancy but finished their education and currently have stable income. But there are some others who went through abortion or lack the ability to provide for their child and put him or her for adoption. Situations like these always get the last decision from the parents of the baby and not the audience who reacts to the pregnancy of the teen. I agree that society has their own opinion on teen pregnancy but should acknowledge the sensitivity of this topic towards women who actually go through this state in life. What are your thoughts on teen pregnancy? Do you think modern society should handle this topic in a different way?
I feel like everyone has their own opinion when it comes to teen pregnancy. Becoming pregnant during high school is very controversial because people will view you differently and will automatically assume that you won't do well in your academics and general school life. However, some students didn't have the choice whether to be pregnant or not and that's the sad reality for some of these students. I feel like we should view teen pregnancy with some utter respect because they're going to take care of a child in the near future and that takes a lot of time and patience. Whether they want to keep their child or not, we should learn how to support them emotionally.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with Kayce's response. It's very rough when a teenager gets pregnant, they go through a very rough time when they are very young. The way they are treated by society are very harsh and cruel and no young woman should get treated that way and have to go through their other worries. I believe society should give empathy to those who are young and pregnant, as well as support them because if you were a young teen struggling with pregnancy, you'd want the same kind of support as well.
