You're Having My Baby

I've been thinking alot recently about pregnancy & girls my age having babies. When I was younger the topic was taboo, no on etalked about it & no one wanted to hear about it... it should have stayed that way. In school we learned about contraception, how to use it, & what happens if we don't. Now the schools are practically encouraging us to get knocked up. CDCI East recently started a program called Teen Education and Mothering (TEAM) which helps young mothers with getting their education & learning how to be a parent; it alos provides child care. Personally, I am 100% against this as was the community around the school. When I was 13 my cousin (who was 16 at the time) got pregnant, she was forced to drop out & care for herslef & her child on her own; she learned the consequences of her actions. Nowadays are being supported by the government, their parents, the schools & even the media. There is a girl my age with her 3rd kid on the way. With all of this support these girls aren't learning anything. They are just going to keep making these kids which our taxes are going to pay for because they can't spend $7 on a box of condoms. These people should be sterilized, but instead they get celebrity in shows like Teen Mom, Secret Life & even Glee. I understand making mistakes but there's never an excuse for unprotected sex. I have always been told not to do something unless I'm ready to face the consequences, how many of these girls are really ready for a kid? I wasn't when I started having sex, now they start younger & younger it's only goin to get worse. I am not blaming the media, the parents, the government or the schools... I blame the stupid little teenage girls that are having unprotected sex & having babies.
