of these teens. Having a baby is one of the biggest changes that will ever happen in anyone’s

life. The choice to raise a baby is also a life time decision, so before you go off and have sex

think twice about the consequences that can happen like getting pregnant.

Although the rate of teen pregnancy in the U.S has been declining, it remains the

highest in the developed world. “Approximately 97 per 1000 women aged 15-19 become

pregnant each year the majority of these pregnancies 78 percent are unintended” (RTP 1).

Most teen mothers are less likely to graduate from high school and their kids are often born at

low birth weight or experience health and development problems. Many teenage mothers also

have choices to either keep the baby or have an abortion. But both are two difficult choices

because they come with their consequences. One you have to deal with the fact of maybe not

graduating and financial problems. Then you have abortions which cause a lot of mental and

emotional problems like knowing you just gave a living life away. But it has it’s goods like you

they should be responsible enough to use protection like condoms or some type of birth control
