Reflection

I can honestly say that when i chose this topic i chose it because this is something important to me and because i thought i knew something about it but, there are so many facts and interesting things that young teens don't know and that i didn't even know about pregnancy. So far i have learned plenty of stuff that i didn't know about teenage pregnancy however nothing has struck out to me so much as when my cousin told me step by step what happened to her when she had her baby. She explained everything so detailed that she scared the crap out of me! i never realized how ignorant i truly am on this topic and now I'm really glad i chose this topic because I'm really looking forward to learning everything i can on teenage pregnancy.

Teenage pregnancy is something that i believe is becoming more and more common each year which in my point of view is not a very good thing. I don't believe it's a good thing because most of the girls that get pregnant are still babies them self's, the way i see it is as if a baby is having a baby. it may not make sense but what i kind of want to say is that these girls are mentally and physically kids so how can a kid raise a kid? However not all girls are like that. I have seen and been with teenage girls who aren't all that responsible or mature but when they get pregnant they completely change. They become responsible young adults and work very hard to have a home and good future for their baby even if the father leaves them, and those are the girls that other teenage pregnancies should look up to and admire.

I've learned that you can't really speak about pregnancy or judge anyone until you've been there. There are so many things that we don't even know and yet we act like we've been there done that. I'm can't say that everyone's like that but most people are including myself. Like mentioned previously i never realized how ignorant i am on this topic until now. Speaking with teenage pregnancies has changed my views in so many ways. Yeah i knew it probably was a tough thing to go through but i never realized how difficult and painful it truly can be. The difficult part is not only having the baby but also raising it and dedicating so much time of your life to it. There are so many problems that these girls have to face and so many things that they have to give up for their baby that i have such enormous admiration towards the girls that don't give up and keep their chins up.
