10 reasons teenage girls shouldn’t get pregnant

Teen pregnancy is a hot topic. For whatever reason, especially in the US, we don’t like to talk about sex or what could happen when you have it. For this reason, adolescents are misinformed about sex and its repercussions, such as an unwanted pregnancy. Perhaps if teens knew the facts, they would wait or at least be more mature to have sex. Teenagers who don’t take proper precautions can get pregnant. Teenage boys who don’t make sure to take precautions can get a girl pregnant. Using a condom is not a complete form of test to prevent pregnancy; you need another contraceptive to use with it.

Your parents can disown it. Unfortunately, this happens, especially if the parents are “super” religious. They are probably more disappointed in themselves than you are. They will question what they did wrong as parents. They will ask ‘why’ you got pregnant and what they could have done to prevent it from happening. Hopefully, the parents will pick up on things happening and help her deal with her teenage pregnancy.

The baby could have birth defects. Your baby may have birth defects because of his age. Since your body is not fully developed, it could influence whether or not your child has birth defects.

You could have a difficult pregnancy due to your young age. Again, your body is not fully developed or matured. This could lead to a complicated pregnancy that is not good for you or the baby’s health.

Your body will go through changes that you may not be ready to handle. You may not be prepared for the body changes that come with pregnancy. In fact, it might scare you. You may not be ready for stretch marks, intense hormones, or weight gain. It is important to eat a healthy diet that provides you and your baby with the right nutrients. Don’t think about ‘starving yourself’ because you don’t want to gain weight. This is not healthy for you or your child.

Your friends could leave you. Unfortunately, your friends may not relate to you if you have a child. They will not be able to relate to you. They will want to go out on Friday and the weekend and do what teenagers do. They may even feel guilty because they become ‘carefree and no frills’ while you increase responsibility. They may not know what to say or how to act around them. If your friends leave, it is important that you have support. Join a group of teen mothers. In this way, you will be surrounded by people who can identify with you and your situation.

You cannot finish high school as scheduled. You may not finish high school on time, depending on the date you are scheduled to deliver your baby. Whatever you do, graduate from high school. Maybe you can make up classes during summer school or take the GED. Whatever you do, get your high school diploma!

Your boyfriend may not support you. Believe it or not, your boyfriend may not support you. He may stay a few months, but the situation could overwhelm him. If this happens, it is important that you tell your child that it is not their fault. Grieve the loss of your boyfriend and move on with your life. This won’t be easy at first, but you will get over it.

You are not emotionally or financially ready for children. How developed are your emotions? How big is your checking and savings account? Do you have a checking and savings account? Having a child is a huge responsibility that you are probably not ready for. Heck, most people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are not emotionally or financially ready to have children. Having a child is a HUGE deal. Think about what you will need: food, shelter, clothing, money, love, and support. If you can’t provide the basic basics for yourself, how will you be able to support a baby?

Having a baby so you can feel love is not a reason to have a child. Please don’t have a baby because you want to feel loved; this is not a good enough reason. Know that you are valuable and have something to offer this world. Love yourself and love will find you!

It is painful. Having a child is not ticklish. Most women plan to give up medications because they want a natural delivery. However, they usually change their minds once the pain starts. Think about this: it’s like pushing a watermelon through a small hole. Oh!

Obviously, the girl takes care of the pregnancy more than the man. Your body will change and it may become uncomfortable. Ask any woman about pregnancy and they will tell you that it hurts a lot. Some try to do without any medication, but they usually have medication to numb the pain. Do you want to experience this at the age of 14, 15 or 16? If you think menstrual cramps are hurting you, try having a child!
