Rating Teen Pregnancy

In the United State 750.000 teen pregnancies occurs annually.

Eight in ten of these pregnancies are unintended and 81 percent are to unmarried teens according to TeenPregnany.org. Most teens drop out of high school because they feel that now they have a bigger responsibility and that's to take care of their child. Some continue to college and obtain their degree.

Most teen bond grows stronger with the father of the child, some even become married such as Leah and Corey from Teen mom 2.They feel obligated to each other and the child/children deserves both parents together not thinking on the their feeling toward one another. Most teenage parents remain single. Most teenagers become pregnant because of their peers around them. Some form a pact such as "A Pregnancy Pact"  the movie that aired on Lifetime about a group of friends made a promise to each other they all will become pregnant around the same time is a proven example also based on a true story. When becoming a young mother you are faced with different challenges, temptations of going back to your old life as only worry was what you were going to wear to school the next day? I learned the hard way although I had to drop out of school for a while my pregnancy was difficult but I completed high school and my baby was my #1 motivation to completing it. Some Teens are encourage, some are discourage. It all depends on what type of supportive family you have and your attitude with wanting to achieve more in life when your faced with a Teen pregnancy.

My becoming of a teen mom

Becoming pregnant at the age of 19 years old officially made me a statistic as being a teen mom. I never imagined in a million years that I would become a mother at such a young age. The feeling I had when I found out I was pregnant was, How am I going to tell my family I'm pregnant? I didn't have to because the effects the pregnancy had on me hormonal, such as sickness, my family detected it right away. The effects it had on me emotionally was how am I going to raise a baby? Finish school? Anything? My family was completely against abortions so that wasn't an option. Adoption well I couldn't imagine carrying a baby for nine months becoming attached to it knowing I wouldn't raise it. So I kept her, She was born on January 26,2008. I was so happy. Once she got here things were so different, late night diaper changing, bottle feedings and cries. Family and friends wanted to come visit during the day so I got a little rest, but my nights was restless nights for the first six months. I became emotionally drained and suffered from postpartum depression. I always had these thoughts in my mind of how was people going to think of me as a young mother having a baby out of wedlock. Me and the father was a couple but we had so many ups and downs that we couldn't be around each other for a long period of time since I had  became pregnant and had the baby I notice our relationship worsen as a lot of relationships I've seen on television such as "Teen Moms" . The Journey on my teen pregnany had only began when I stop taking birth control and thought I was unable to produce. Most teen pregnancies are planned but mines was very unexpected.
