In my opinion teen pregnancy is a big issue in the United States. What I don't understand is why so many young girls get pregnant when there are so many ways to prevent it.
In a way I feel that it's the parents fault for not educating their children. Not just females but males as well. Most schools don't have a sex-ed class and most kids are afraid to talk about sex with their parents because of the consequences that may ensue. To put it in less words, kids usually don't communicate with their parents.
I am against abortion except in the most extreme cases. Particularly rape. I think girls should be comfortable enough to ask their parents about birth control. Taking birth control is not telling a young girl, "Sure go have all the sex you want." It's a way of knowing your daughter won't come home with any "surprises" In any case condoms should always be used but in the heat of passion things might just happen.
Abstinence is a great thing to do, but many teens are not abstinent and it's unrealistic to think that most teens are. It's better to teach and educate safe sex than to say "Sex is bad and never do it." That way if a kid ever does have sex he or she will know the consequences before hand.
Adoption is adoption. If you make a baby you should keep it. Teen or adult. You giving away something that was made out of love (hopefully). Someone that will have your eyes or lips or nose or chin. Even worse that person is just handing their responsibility over to someone else. I suppose sometimes adoption is the best option for some people but I would prefer to keep my child.
So now that I have given my thoughts on this little topic. Let me know what you guys think!
