Many people don’t realize the numbers of teen pregnancies are on the rise. In 2006 was when the number of teen pregnancies rose in 15 years. That’s not cool at all. Also teens that get pregnant and have a baby have only a one third chance of getting a high school diploma, and only 1.5% earns a college degree by the age of 30. I can believe that quote because most of the time when teens get pregnant they have know choice but to drop out of high school to deliver and even watch there baby. Unless they have a babysitter. But on average the teen is going to be out of school for about 4-6 weeks but to recover from the baby, depending on if you had a c-section or not.
Having a baby does not just affect the parents but it affects the baby also. Girls born to teen mother have a high chance of becoming a teen mother herself. Boys born to teen mothers have a high chance of being in prison. Neither one of those statistics are cool. 8/10 girls and 6/10 boys wished that they were older to have sex. That goes to show that having sex and having a baby is not so cool at all. 8 out of every 10 girls wish they have waited to have sex, that’s a lot! I guess people don’t realize the conqusences of having a baby at a young age.
I’m hoping that after reading these facts and statistics that it really would open the eyes to these teens out here and maybe get them to wait on having a kid.
