Teen Pregnancy (Van Sakamoto)


√an ßawi Lian San
Write a blog post on one the following topics.
Is teen pregnancy the biggest issue facing teens at Wyandotte? What are the consequences of having babies while young? What are the challenges these parents face? Do the teen mothers and fathers take equal responsibility or do you feel that males have it easier?

I think that teen pregnancy is the biggest issues at Wyandotte because the teen girls are having hard time. According to the dosomething.org website, “Over 750,000 teenage girls got pregnant each year.  Parenthood is the leading reason that teen girls drop out of school. More than 50% of teen mothers never graduate from high school. Aid young parents by starting a Babysitters Club so they can take GED classes. The United States had one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the western industrialized world.  Less than 2% of teenage moms graduate college” (Do Something).
The consequences of having babies while young are they have to take care of themselves and take care of the babies. They would have to work to get money for the babies. It would be hard for them to study and do the parent jobs at the same time especially teen moms because she has to do the baby things.
The can stay with their parents or they have to find their own house or apartment. The challenges these parents face are they have to learn/study and take care of the babies.     I think they don’t take it equal responsibility, teen mothers take care of the babies. Teen males had it easier. Both teens had the responsibility to take care of the babies. I think the parents have to take care of the babies together, equally because no one had to suffer and do the hard work alone.
