"Mom I'm Having A Baby"

      For most women expecting, this is one of the best phrases they can possibly say. But what if your a teenager? It's not so great then. Or at least thats what you first think.
       Teenage pregnancy is one of the major controversial issues in todays society. Why is this? Most people believe that you shouldn't act on sexual feelings until marriage. That not always happens. Personally, I believe that as long as you believe you love that person, then your feelings and actions are your own. But why are teens so afraid to tell their secret. It's important to tell either your parents or at least someone you can trust. Although your parents would be best. You can choose to either keep the baby, and love them, and raise them despite the actions that led up to it. You can choose adoption, to allow another family the joy and privilege of raising your child. Or there's abortion. Which is a choice removing the situation from you (literally). No matter what anyone tells you, or tries to convince you, the choice is completely up to you. No one else can decide for you no matter how badly you wish they could.
       Most teens who get pregnant, are so scared. Their not really afraid of the situation, it's the reaction of their parents/family/friends that scare them. Sometimes these reactions are the reasons they can't choose the choice they really want.
        A mother and father have every right to watch over their "baby girl". They blame theirselves. And their just as scared as the teens. It's alright to be scared or worried. But what your daughter needs is for you to support her, and love her no matter what, so she can decide what is best to do. 
        To all the pregnant teens in todays world. It's nothing to be ashamed about. Don't worry about what others think or what they will do. You have another life growing inside you that you are responsible for. Hopefully you will love the child no matter what. But whatever decision you make, we all have our reasons, even if others don't understand at the time. Tell your parents if you find yourself pregnant. They will still love you all the same, Forgiveness will come. Whatever your situation is, you know best.
       If you don't want to be in this situation of choosing for you and a baby. Then the answer is simple. Either wait for marriage, or use protection always. It not only helps protect teenage or unwanted pregnancies, but it also protects against STDs.
               The Choice Is Up To You, No One Else
