Teen Pregnancy.. Wow.

Just to start this out I'm not writing this to bash teen mothers or their actions because I, myself am considered a teen parent; my child is just in Heaven playing instead of on earth! :)
(Bitter Sweet, yes, Definately.)

Anyways! I got curious a few minutes ago and went thru my friends list on myspace and counted the teen parents, mothers and fathers. And out of my 465 friends there were 37 teen parents.
Wow. That may not seem like a lot to some of you..but to me it is a lot! Especially me knowing most of these guys from when I went to the highschool and such. And again, I AM NOT BASHING OR JUDGING ANNNNYYYY OF THEM!!
Out of those 465 I know about 6 who have tried to get pregnant..not out of those 37 parents.
I can semi understand why they would want to do this but most of you are probably thinking, "what the hell are they thinking?! Ruining their lives.."
But most see it as giving themselves something to live for..because their lives are soo ridiculously terrible and lonely currently...I mean think about it..here's an example...

16 year old girl lives with her mom and siblings her mom and dad are divorced..she feels like she cant talk to her mom because she would flip out at the first word of her talking about sex or peer pressure with drugs or alcohol...I mean would you talk to your mom about anything if she were like that?!?! No Way!
See, the less teens feel they can talk to their parents the lonelier they feel, even if they do have "a zillion friends"or a boyfriend or attention from tons of guys! Some girls feel the need to have a baby, a baby that will always love them, like they tried loving their parents..A baby they have to live for, to take care of, to get out of bed in the morning for. Of course that girl should be taking care of herself that way and knowing her life is just as important as her baby she wants or has..but she can't see it that way.

In 2002 there were about 750,000 Teen pregnancies; including abortions:(
In 2007 it hit the highest it had ever been so far at about 4, 317, 119!!

Wow, its crazy. I can only imagine 2009's rate or what 2010's rate will be this time next year.. I'mhaving a hard time finding last years rates online but I do know it escelated..its always on the news..and the stupid government is always bitching about it costing them soo much money...FUCK its not like they're using it for anything else! They should be less worried about their money and more worried about HELPING FUTURE GIRLS NOT FEEL ALONE OR GIVE INTO PEER PRESSURE OF UNPROTECTED SEX SO THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM ANYMORE!!
Jeeeeez,
Well thats all I really have to say about this subject, and for the last time I am not saying anything anything anything bad about teen mothers at all. I give most of them props and kudos for doing what they do everyday..because some of these 14-19 year olds take better care of their children than 25-40 year olds on their 3 child!!
