Teen Pregnancies

Who would have known about two in every five teens become pregnant! 82 percent of the pregnancies are unplanned. When a teenage mother becomes pregnant it's mostly that child also gives birth at a young age. Teen pregnancies don’t receive prenatal care during their first trimester with that later in their pregnancy can lead to problems. If the mother want to abort he baby the sooner the better. Most teen hide their pregnancy from their parents. When teens become pregnant they have a few options: have the baby aborted, have the baby or place it for adoption. With some of these choices like abortions is a huge toll for a young teenager to go through. Some teen pregnancy may travel hundreds of miles just to be the procedure done.

In the Northwest part of Alaska where I live teens were getting pregnant left and right. For twelve year-olds in sixth grade to senior varsity basketball players were pregnant. Some girls were having babies with adults and the law wasn't enforced. In most places the adult would get find for rape. It experience first hand. Teenage pregnancies became a trend. I need stop teen pregnancies because it's starting to spread like a wild fire. It isn't only in the Northwest part of Alaska you see it everyone.
