I find myself being 19 with a 6 month old baby girl. Yes teenage pregnancy is a problem to some extent but I do not believe in abortion: unless its a rape or a medical reason. I believe that if you are old enough to make an adult choice to have sex then if you find yourself pregnant you need to take responsibility for you choices and your actions. Yes its going to be harder than those few minutes it took to get a girl pregnant but she made the choice to not get on the pill, or use a condom. In my own situation I found myself with a guy for 2 years everything was great I got pregnant on Christmas of 2006 and short after he told me he still loved his ex. To this day we haven't seen much of him, so girls don't think a baby will keep a man around. Now I struggle to be a first time mom but I have got my life back on track and things are going great now. You will be tired, you will want to give up but the truth is you cant. You made your choice so its time to deal with it. I also think that if parents had a close enough bond with there child that it may be easier for a child to discuss that they believe they are ready to become sexually involved, lets face it we can stop them from having sex but we can help better protect them from being in this kind of situation.
