A concern I faced as an adolescence was getting pregnant at the age of 15. I was at a stage where I was rebelling against my parents and doing what I wanted and not being the smartest about. I had it set in my mind, like most, that “oh, it won’t happen to me”; and it did. The emotions that I went through were crazy, of course I was scared, scared of what I was going to do, scared of what parents were going to do, scared of what the father would do and his parents, we were young what were we going to do how were going to raise a baby? Both our parents were mad but accepted our decision to keep it, they were not happy but they respected our choice. Shortly after I found out, I ended up losing it, I wasn’t sure how I felt; mostly sad but there was also a sense of relief because I was so young and didn’t know how I was going to make things work.
With adolescents today, I see a lot more getting pregnant at a young age and keeping the baby. The wondering of how things are going to work out, is it the right choice for their personal situation, what are the parents going to say, what will society say, and so much more. Teen pregnancy is a scary thing for everyone involved.
With teen pregnancy there a lot of changed both physical and mentally. The physical ones are pretty obvious, the stomach gets bigger to make room for the baby. As for the perceptions of such changes, I guess it all depends on the person, but mostly people think oh I can’t believe that, what are they going to do, and maybe even think less of pregnant teens, which is rather sad. Bad choices do not make bad
