Okay let me start off with a disclaimer, I’m not trying to offend anyone or change anyone’s views on this topic, I am purely trying to show my opinion. This is a difficult subject and everyone has their opinion, but does your opinion give you the right to destroy someone’s self-esteem. My friend is 17 and yes, she just discovered that she is pregnant, I have to agree with the fact that if I wasn’t her friend I would be looking at it differently, but I am her friend and I hate that people are trying to make her feel bad for what has happened. It’s not her fault she was as safe as she could possibly be, it’s just by pure chance that this has happened, yes she’s young and this could have happened at a better time, but for how young she is she is acting really mature about it. In my opinion the reason people disagree so much with teen pregnancies is because of what they see in the media, or how they see teen parents acting with their children, and I agree, I have seen some terrible teen parents, but that doesn’t mean that every teen parent is going to end up that way, My friend and her boyfriend are acting truly mature about the whole thing, he now has a full time job and they are both in the process of looking for a home close to both of their parents, this has truly made them grow up. Yes I agree that not all teen relationships work out either but for the present time they are both very much in love, and have been for the past five years of high school, and they have been through a lot more than most teen relationships should go through. I believe that people should not judge a teen parent because of their age, but maybe because of how mature they act about the situation, Please consider this before you give those teen parents, those bad looks in the supermarket.
