For one thing, once a girl has a baby they soon realize that their freedom is gone. They no longer can go out with their friends, no more dates, and no more times to themself. Their whole life will be centered around a being that could have been prevented if they had just waited.

When you're a teen and pregnant you also are not financially stable. If a teen does have a job, most likely it will be a minimum wage job. They would be making less than a hundred dollars and all of that would go to diapers, food, clothes, formula, and bottles. A minimum wage job wouldn't be nearly enough for a baby.

Pregnancy while still a teen will almost guarantee that you will not finish school. If you don't finish school you won't get a good job and will probably end up in getting Welfare. Who would want this for their child?

In conclusion, teen pregnancy is a choice for every young couple. They should really think about it before they rush into things.
