My aunt had a child at 19 and she told me how hard it was for her though she had family support. I would be scared to tell my mom because she taught me to wait until I was older and she would be disappointed in me. I would still tell them and they would accept it sooner or later, my parents would give in and support me. My family and I aren’t into abortion so I would definitely keep the child.  I would tell all my family members sooner or later because they’ll find out quick anyway. I want to be the one to tell them. They would be surprised but, sooner or later we will all be okay.]]> 2017-11-08 03:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204664967 ramiya_mamataj https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204665216 I would try to be as strong as possible for the delivery of my child. The second my child is born a switch would turn on. That switch will never turn back off. My life will change forever. Having a baby as a teen will come with its struggles. The struggles would be to balance my child with my school work. Also, making an income to provide for my child would come with hardships. I would be scared and feel alone because it is such a big responsibility. As much as we try not to think about others negative opinions it may get me. I would have to grow thick skin and just worry about my child.

There are judgmental people that you need to block out. My friends will be out there worry about themselves. They would have more free time unlike me. They would balance work and fun. I would be balancing work and my child. I would figure out a way to have some fun but, I won’t have much compared to them. Sleep will probably not be my best friend. The most difficult thing would be making time. Making time for anything of everything. Making time for my family, my work, my child, and my education.  ]]> 2017-11-08 03:51:13 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204665398 ramiya_mamataj https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204666077 I think the reason why teen pregnancy rate is high is because pregnancy prevention is not touched on that much as it should. Teens are swayed with what they hear: pulling out is a good method, condoms don’t fit him, and you should have sex because so many others are doing it (basically peer pressure). Condoms, birth control pills, abortions, shots, procedures are seen as luxuries so, most people pay out of pocket. The way insurance is set up now many people don’t have it and have to pay for these things. Young people think a baby is the solution to prove a point. If you have a child your lover will stay with you forever. The baby is like the lock in their minds. Having a baby comes off as a sense of adulthood and being older. It makes some feel more mature. The number just seems to rise every day.

Income/money would be an issue since you still have not obtained the proper education to get a good paying job. As an adult you have to balance work and child. So in a sense it's the same type of pressure. At least as an adult you have a house and good income. Having one as an adult means you’re settled, older, and ready. As a teen you need to depend on your family to support you because you don’t have work experience. I would have to set alarm and reminders to feed my baby on time. Same goes for diaper changes and sleeping. All in all regardless of teen or adult it will be stressful.

It gives this idea that teen parents are a joke. Teen parents are just entertainment for MTV. It also gives teen parents spotlight for a situation that isn’t pretty. It also glorifies getting pregnant so young. Someone out there will be influenced by it and want a child at a young age. The parents on the show get younger and younger as the seasons progress. This is not a positive situation.  Imagine how the baby from the show will feel in the future.]]> 2017-11-08 04:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204666718 ramiya_mamataj https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204667387 There are many options a teen has when they are pregnant. The first is to keep the child. Go through with the struggle to support and love a human being. Adoption is the second option. There a family out there who isn’t able to have a child and would gladly take yours in. This also gives your child a good life you may not be able to provide. The third option is abortion, meaning terminate the pregnancy as a whole. Abortion would be the option if you do not want to carry, provide, or see the child at all. Whatever choice the parent makes it will come with struggles without a doubt.

I would feel fear for the uncertainty of the future; how would my parents react? Will I keep the baby? How will I financially support the pregnancy? Who is the baby daddy? I would not abort the baby, however, I would probably just give it up for adoption. I would feel overwhelmed and stressed out because I have a lot on my plate as it is right now, and adding on a baby to that would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. I would just find a way to handle all of it and take care of carrying the baby for the 9 months. I would tell my parents first, and if they don’t kill me about that, then I think they would support me with it. ]]> 2017-11-08 14:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204838163 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204838479 I want a drug-induced delivery. I don’t want a natural delivery, or a water birth, I want the epidural to ease the pain of childbirth. I feel like my reaction when I realize the baby is coming would be shock and fear and excitement. I think I would be freaking out and rushing to get all my things ready and getting ready to go to the hospital. I would want my parents to be there with me, especially my mom because she is experienced and has done this before. If possible, I would also want the other parent to be there with me. Some conflicts that could arise between me and the other parent would be who has custody over the baby, how we are going to financially support the baby, what we’re going to name the baby, and how we are going to raise the baby. ]]> 2017-11-08 14:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204838479 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204839017 For me, the hardest thing about being a teen parent is being financially stable. Some teenagers either don’t have jobs or only have a part-time job, but either one still won’t be able to provide for yourself and the baby. Another thing that is hard about being a teen parent, or just being a parent in general is balancing everything in your life. Especially for teens, having to balance school, work, a baby, your future, and other things that might be going on in your life is very stressful and overwhelming. Because you have to take care of another human being, your life will be drastically different from your other friends. Instead of going out and having fun on some nights, you will have to stay home and do your responsibilities instead. Having a baby means having less time, so you will have to sacrifice going out with friends or doing other fun things.]]> 2017-11-08 14:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204839017 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204839321 One reason why I think teen pregnancy is high in this country is because most teenagers don’t get adequate sex ed. This means that teenagers don’t know proper contraceptive methods and therefore don’t know how to prevent getting pregnant. This means that when teens do have sex, they don’t know the proper risks and downsides to having unprotected sex. Another reason why teen pregnancy rates are high in this country is because people don’t have common sense and get pregnant because they’re stupid. Another reason would be peer pressure to have sex. Some reasons why teens might want a baby is they want a baby. Another reason would be for attention, to keep their partners, and for a sense of belonging.]]> 2017-11-08 14:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204839321 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204839630 Responsibilities that need to be shared as a teen parent would be splitting the time taking care of the child and paying for the child. Taking care of a child is hard work for a single parent, so you need to have the other parent help take care of the baby. Splitting responsibilities is very important in a family. Doing all the work yourself is not considered a family. Another important responsibility is supporting the child financially. A single parent singlehandedly supporting the child financially is hard work. You need the help of the other parent to fully support the child. The same goes for adult parents. Being there for your child and supporting your child financially is an important responsibility for any parent. Deciding how to split responsibility is determined by taking turns. Obvious responsibilities like breast feeding are the moms responsibility, while other things like changing the diaper or clothing the baby can be the dad’s responsibility.]]> 2017-11-08 14:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204839630 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204840068 I have personally never seen the show “Teen Mom”, but I can form an opinion based on what I have heard from it. I believe that it sends out a negative message to viewers watching. I think the message of the show is to tell teenagers that having a baby when you’re a teen is hard work. Your life will never be the same after you have a child. Your responsibilities will accumulate and it will get harder for you to get all the things you need to get done, done. It shows the gritty reality of teen pregnancy. Like I have said before, I have never watched “Teen Mom”, but I hope that this is the message they are sending out.]]> 2017-11-08 14:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204840068 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204840619 Teenagers have a number of options when they become pregnant or they are expecting a baby. For a girl, they can choose to abort the baby. Personally, I am against abortion, but nowadays it is more acceptable for people to abort their babies. I can understand why girls want to abort their baby. Having a child is a lot of work and responsibility and stress and financial strain. Their lives are already stressful and busy as it is, and having a baby on top of that will just make things worse. Females can also choose to give their baby up for adoption. I prefer this option better because you still have the child, but you’re giving it up to a family that will be better suited to love them and care for them properly (hopefully). The third option would be to keep the baby. This option is the most stressful and overwhelming of all of them. Taking care of a baby is a lot of work and money. ]]> 2017-11-08 14:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204840619 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204842152 2017-11-08 14:57:43 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204842152 ramiya_mamataj https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204850640 2017-11-08 15:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204850640 markela_quin https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204852973 2017-11-08 15:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204852973 ramiya_mamataj https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204867466 2017-11-08 15:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/markela_quin/1x878bw420jp/wish/204867466
