Teens should not have sexual intercourse until they are married or they are with someone that they feel comfortable with and are special to them. When teens have sexual intercourse, most of them end up pregnant and have children one or more. Eight out of ten teens have children accidently. These teens are not prepared and have trouble focusing on their school work and children they have no business having children. Children are a big responsibility to handle. I think an only adult who have experienced children in their life or have taking care of children for a long period of time, knows how irritating children can be.

Teens are not ready for children because their brains are not fully developed. That’s what causes most of infant death because of a teenager can’t control their anger abuse their child because they will not be quite or they make too much noise. Four thousand and three hundred babies are born with low weight to teen mothers who were between the age of fifteen and nineteen years old. The rate of teenage pregnancy makes the U.S spend around seven billion annually.

But the most interesting thing about teenage girls is that four out of ten girl’s experience pregnancy before the age of twenty. I have had cousins and aunts have children at a young age, my mother taught me to have children when I am married because If I don’t my teenage life will be a living hell. But most of teenagers are considerate about their choses in their life.

About most of the teenage girls, everywhere I go they have children under the age of nineteen. We as teenagers need to focus more on school work than on girls, boys, video games, magazines, and other things that do not concern their school work. It is ok to think about other things outside of school about things that are about your fellow peers. Pregnancy is a hard thing to go through as a teenager.

You would have to deal with everyone talking about you on a daily basis, Your hormones go everywhere, Your emotions are different every minute, and you would not be able to take the peer pressure, You just would try to hurt yourself in order to stop the nonsense that is going on right behind your back, and you just want to stop it. Among fifteen to seventeen year olds, it is thirty eight point seven per one thousand women that have children.

That’s why most teenage girls kill themselves because of babies. Most of teenager decides to keep their children; some give them away.
