Teen Pregnancy

Okay welllllll I'm trying to get into this Journalism Internship for this local newspaper. I had to write some sort of article & i decided to make my topic Teen Pregnancy. So I'm gonna post it & tell me what you think :]


"How would you feel if you came home from work, and your daughter tells you she just took a pregnancy test, and it turned out positive? Would you be angry? Would you be upset with her? Or be upset with yourself? Unfortunately, this event isn't one that's far-fetched. Every hour there are two teenagers in the United Sates that have just found out they are pregnant.


In the United States alone, there are over 750,000 teen pregnancies each year. The U.S. has the highest rate of teen pregnancy, births, and abortions in the fully industrialized world. With this being said, it's still surprising when stories such as the Pregnancy Pact at Gloucester High School are exposed. It shows that young females in this day in time, are greatly influenced by the belief that they will have a perfect and happy family even if they are having their child at as young as 15.

Young females could be influenced also by the media. Stars such as Bristol Palin and Jamie Lynn Spears, shed a light on teen pregnancy that isn't what most would call “positive”. Bristol Palin's new Public Service Announcement, for The Candie's Foundation, has caused much controversy. The ad features Bristol Palin with her son, Tripp, as she explains how if she didn't come from a famous family, have all the opportunities, and have their support, her pregnancy wouldn't be as “glamorous” as it seems. Many have gotten angry and have spoken against the P.S.A. stating that she is saying it is basically “okay” to have a baby at a young age, only if you have the support from your family and a way to sufficiently provide for your child and yourself.

Georgia actually happens to be the number 8th ranked state in the nation with the highest teenage birth rate. With this said, we come in 2nd when it comes to the rate of repeat births by teens. Suggestions have been made to have safe sex taught in our local high schools, but the system still believes teaching abstinence is the best solution. However many parents don't want their children to learn about having safe sex, they want their children to stay abstinent, but others feel as if telling a teenager to stay abstinent is “naïve”.

As teen pregnancy rates continue to climb over the years, it's very obvious that the problem needs some sort of solution. There should be more places such as Polly Fox. Polly Fox is located in Toledo, Ohio and is a school dedicated solely to girls in grades 7 – 12 whom are pregnant or have already had a child. The school provides a nursery, health care center that provides whatever medication is needed, classes on how to properly take care of their children, and transportation for both the moms and children. The school's main goal is to make sure all of their students graduate high school and have a chance to continue their education in college.

Teen Pregnancy is something that cannot be ignored. What ways do you think teen pregnancy could be avoided? Do you think there should just be better ways to handle it, if teenage girls do happen to get pregnant? Or, do you believe abstinence is the only solution to this entire problem?"

Mmmm

Okay I got this new nail polish that I am in LOVE with, so I thought I would post it for you. I love this type of nail polish because it runs cheap, but it's still a good quality. I got this at wal-mart for $2.50 I believe.
