There only a few options a teen can do when she is pregnant. One is to have the baby. Two is to abort the baby. Three is to put the baby up for adoption. Those are the three options the teen parents can take. But I don't not believe in putting a child up for adoption. So for me personally I do not believe.

My thoughts on the show of Teen Mom, I feel as tho it is very helpful to show how difficult it is for the parents. Also shows how sometimes the parents have to drop out school just to be able to support the baby. It also showed that protection is so important because even your family can start acting different to you. Some mothers was turning against the daughter and didn't wanna help with the baby or have anything to do with the baby. Some of baby fathers never took part the baby's life and never gave no support.

When you become a teen parent I feel as though both parents should play a major part in the child's life. When it comes to having to spend time with the child. Or even Buying the baby clothes, shoes food, or even diapers. It should not be on one parent because that will form a bad relationship with both parents and even the family. I feel as though both parents should get a part time job working that pays decent to support the child & its needs. Not only one parent should be working also because it take two people to make a baby not one parent should be working also because it take two people to make a baby not so all the responsibility should not be on one parent I feel like

As a teen you have a few options when you become pregnant. There are 3 main options. Abortion, Adoption, or simply keeping it and taking care of it. So abortion is a process you do while your early in your pregnancy to terminate your baby if you don't want to have it anymore. It is a hard and somewhat heartless thing to do but a lot of teens do it when they are simply not ready to have a baby at the moment. Adoption is a option you can do when the baby is born, adoption is giving up your child to another family or orphanage if you can't take care of them. The last option you have when you become pregnant is keeping the baby. Keeping the baby in which you take care of it because it is your child. You take on the full responsibility of raising your child with no giving it up to anyone else.

My thoughts on the "Teen Mom" show is that it isn't that helpful or has much of an impact on it's viewers. Maybe in the very beginning it did but now it's basically about what's going on in their relationships with their significant other. They don't really focus on the whole baby concept. I admit in the beginning when they first made the show it had somewhat of an impact because you got to see the struggle they had to go through with just having a baby at a young age. I learned a bit from it that I did not want a baby at 15, 16, 17, or whatever young age there is. The whole message they are trying to give to their viewers is to not just have a baby when you're not ready for it because it is some serious work. A lot of the girls on the show had help from their parents so they somewhat had it a little easy. Everyone doesn't have easy parents who would actually help with the baby not all parents actually do that some just let the teen take care of the baby themselves and figure everything out because they chose to put themselves in that position. It maybe harsh but i think it's good because the teen has to learn to take care of their own responsibilities.

In my opinion I feel like the responsibilities should be split 50/50 with the parents. They should be because both of the parents are responsible for making the baby so therefore they both should participate in taking care of the baby. One shouldn't be doing more than the other that's wrong. Like who keeps the baby on this or that day, who feeds them when and where. Also who the baby should be around, honestly I don't want my baby around every and anybody. People are crazy now a days you can't just expose your child to anyone. If I don't personally know the person or ever heard anything about them I'm sorry but my child cannot be around them. The other parent would have to understand that and where I'm coming from.

Teen Pregnancy is so high in this country for many reasons. One being is because a lot of teens don't truly know about using protection, they just think a condom is the key and won't get them pregnant. Which is not the case at all, condoms are not 100% effective. Another reason is because teens n this country are very wild and free a lot of them just don't care to have a baby, they don't think anything of it. They'll have a baby at 12 if they could, but the thing is they don't even know the true responsibilities of having a baby. Some teens want a baby because they think it's cool and a toy they can just play with whenever, it's way more than that. Other teens actually have a baby out of spite to keep the person they made the baby with in their life. Which is a bad idea because at the end of the day the baby will be suffering due to your selfishness.

I think the most difficult part about being a teen parent is having to manage with money and being able to support the baby. At this age as a teenager a good income is very hard to find and have  because you have the baby. You can't work as many hours to get a lot of money because at the end of the day you still have to nurture your baby. I feel as though my life would differ a lot with friends being that they aren't parents. We wouldn't have time to actually hang around because they wouldn't understand the responsibilities that I would have to take care of so now all of my time would be devoted to my child. All of those fun days are sadly over. I would basically be by myself which is tragic. I don't believe my friends would change up just because I had a baby but things would still be different.

I wouldn't know how I would handle the delivery of my child as a teen. It would be so hectic. I already know i would be in unbearable pain. For the delivery of my child I would want both of my parents there just for moral support and the baby's father. Those are the only I would want there and would feel comfortable with. A possible conflict with the other parent is the kid's name, and who gets the keep the baby whenever. Those are some real conflicts that people go through as teen parents. I feel as though the parents should agree on something  together. Communication is the key to a good relationship.

Dom's Journal #1 Honestly I would be frightened if i found out that I was having a baby. I would be frightened because I would not know what to do, whether to keep it or not. To have a baby as a teen is too young in my opinion, you’re not even fully matured yet to have a baby. A baby is a big responsibility to take on. It’s a lot of work, it’s not something you can just play with when you feel like it. It’s an actual human being that you created so now everything revolves around them in your life. Being that I am a teenager I don’t think I would have the baby because I am simply not ready for it I’m still somewhat of a kid. A part of me would want to still keep it though just because it is my child and i did take part in making it.

There are many reason why the  pregnancy is high because teens are not being smart and taking the steps to be safe while having sex. Or even some teens feel as tho it will not happen to them or the guy will say to the girl "I will pull out" when sometimes that methods does not always work all the time. Or even with money to buy condoms sometimes the guy don't have the money to buy them or the girl. Yea sometimes you can ask your parents but that does not work for every person. But in some cases the young lady wants to get pregnant because they think

My life would change so much, it will become much much harder day by day. With money, mentality, physically because when you are a child yourself trying to raise a child.. You would have to most likely pick up two jobs because not only one is going to provide for the child clothes, food, diapers, and even medicine. And the people around might start changing around you because your having a child. So basically losing friends and even family. Probably don't want to speak to you or hang out no more because you became a mother or a father. And also having your head always racing about how and what are you going to do when the child is born

The way I would handle the delivery of my child as a teen i would panic on the inside but on the outside looking in i would be calm. i have many fears that would go throughout my head. one major fear would be how my life would change so quick and so much. i would have to sacrifice my future to raise a child which means i cant enjoy my beginning of my adulthood as much as i would like. i would have to pick up a job earn enough money to support my baby. i would like my parents to support me during this time of me about to have baby show me the best way to go about things. then i would also have the same understanding with the other parent of my child and sit down and talk about how we are going to do things so our child can have a good childhood.

If I found out I was having a child, my mind would be going crazy. I would not know what to do or to say. Then I would start stressing out because then like where would I get the money to support this child. Or is my parents are going to support me with this baby? I would be thinking too much for even me to handle. The petiole I would tell is my mom and dad of course but other then them I would tell my boys and the people that is close to me.
