Teen Parents

Teen parents is becoming more and more common. More and more teens are having sex early and not using protection. I think that you should always use protection cause you never know if the girl is going to get pregnent.

Its a big reponsibility to take care a child no matter how old you are if you are 15 or 30. You have to feed the child change his or hers dippers, pay for daycare if you are going to work, somtimes you have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to pay rent and keep food on the table and then also go to school. Theres so many expenses that most people dont think about before they have sex. Also if your a boy and you decide to leave the girl theres the matter of child support, but there are some cases when the boy stays with the child and the girl has to pay but thats not that common cause the girl usally has the right cause shes the mother but there are exceptions.
Child support will haunt you to the day the child turns 18 and thats if you pay every month if not in most states you have to keep paying until you pay for everything. In some states failure to pay results in suspension of drivers lisence and eventually jail.

I think you should think about the fact if you are going to be able to work well together as the parents of a child. Are you going to be commited to being part of this childs life. Many parents may leave the other parent with the child and run away and never know the child and then your a single parent stuck with a kid. I think even though you might not get a long with the other parent its very important to try to get along for the well being of the child.

Theres nothing wrong with teen pregenancy its really common mabe its not the best road to take in life but it does happen and you have to embrace it in a positive way in my opinion thats a personal desicion even though it might have been an accident you should always take care of the child. But always remeber its a big reponsibilty and condoms are not 100% safe, so think about it before you take that chance.

This seems to be a big issue in several places. Thoughtful comments.
