Teen Pregnancy

I wouldn’t say that pregnancy is the biggest issue, but it is an issue.  We have a numerous number of teens here , to the point where we have a “Teen Mom” program. Our teen moms get treated no different then another student here. There are many consequences of being a young pregnant teen. Being a pregnant teen you can’t take care of a child, if your still a child your self. That is one of the many challenges teens face at getting pregnant so young. Most teens aren’t ready to be a parent when they get pregnant. Their unprepared and don’t have any skills in being a parent. No one may know the struggle of being a teen parent until they become one. Teens mostly try to take the easy way out of things, but there is no easy way in taking care of a child. Once you become a parent it isn’t about your needs anymore, it’s all about the child’s. I do think that both parents have equal responsibility, but the father doesn’t take on all of his responsibilities. Because the child belongs to both of the parents they both have the same responsibilities, but most fathers don think that way, so they have it the easy way. There are some fathers out there that take on as much responsibility as the mother. When that happens it makes a better home for the child.
