This article was written by a group of Pediatricians and trusted parents. This article was written on 1/20/13 so it is very recent. This Article will help to inform me and my reader not on some percentages of teen pregnancy but also how to deal and accept it, which other articles do not always do.
This article in the long run is giving reason how to deal with a teenager that has just become pregnant. It is as big of a shock for the parents as it is for the teenager. As a parent it is your job to deal with this news in a mature way. Take one day to be upset and frustrated but the next day is the day for you to sit down and discuss the next steps for the next nine months. As a teenager this might be the most overwhelming news you can find out. But realize your not in this alone, and there are people out there willing to help you. Do not keep it to your self, you are putting your life and a babies life now in danger. The point of the article isn't to scare pregnant teens but rather to encourage them. Do not be afraid to talk to others, it will help you and your baby.

This will be a helpful website because it gives a
lot of information on the topic of teen pregnancy and helps better explain ways
to help and prevent it. This website was written toward teens to help explains
the risk and ways to avoid it from it even being a question.

With this website it gives a lot of facts and
statics that will help to better my understanding of teen pregnancy. Seeing all
these statics has helped me to realize the threat that this can cause on your
body and the hardships that could come your way getting pregnant at such a
young age. This website will be very useful as I continue reaching information
about this topic.

Teen Pregnancy
Teen pregnancy is not an uncommon in today’s society. We are influenced daily from; movies, TV,
media, MTV, and even our parents will sit down and have talks about it with us.
Three in every ten girls will become pregnant before the age of twenty. We all
know it is not a good idea, yet choose to go against society. The questions are
then asked, why do teens choose to put their life at risk? What are ways we can
help prevent this from happening?
I have chosen to write about this topic because of complications not only to kids but also to the parents of the kid. Teen pregnancy should not be taken as a joke; it is a serious and rising risk factor that is happening among teens today. My plan is to help reach out to teen girls and help them understand the harm and change they are about to face.
