Let's get this ball rolling, shall we.


You know what my generation has down to an unholy science?


Reproduction.


Yeah, at least half of the teenagers on my facebook friends list are pregnant. Um, last time I checked, if you can't even spell pregnancy - you probably are not well equipped for parenthood. Just saying. Everywhere. Everywhere I turn. I see 14 and 15 year olds posting about how they "just want a baby, so SOMEONE will love them."  


Uhh, here's a wild assumption. If you assume that a baby is just gonna be born and insta-love you, then, again...you're probably not ready to have to raise one. It's like teenagers think you can just pop out a baby and all is well. BABIES ARE PERMANENT. You can't just get rid of a baby if you decide you don't want to take care of it anymore. It's not a puppy. You can't just be like "loloops" and forget it somewhere. A baby is a lifetime of commitment and hard work. You can't just have a baby and expect to still be a teenager.


And seriously, there's no such thing as an "accidental teen pregnancy". There was no accident involved. A boy didn't slip and fall onto a girl who just HAPPENED to be naked at the time and BOOM. INSTA-BABY. Two, irresponsible teenagers, were irresponsible. And the girl ended up pregnant. If you're not responsible enough to take every precaution available to NOT get pregnant, then don't take a risk. And if you DO take that risk, and you get knocked up - then, sweetheart, you weren't responsible enough to use protection, so you're not responsible enough to raise a child. 


Now, I understand that raising a baby is difficult for a teen. Difficult for anyone really. But, abortion is not the answer. Seriously, adoption folks.


And also, if you're not responsible enough to take precautions. Don't risk it.

  1. It is plain and simple stupid people make stupid choices and then get stupid babies!

    I had the chance for a fake baby and I stabbed it in the back.
