You would be shocked to hear stories on teenage pregnancy. Usually, these kids did not plan or expect to be pregnant. And even if you consider your teenage daughter to be a good girl (doesn’t drink alcohol, do drugs, or smoke), you might be surprised to find out one day that she’s pregnant too.
“The increase in number of teen pregnancies is a result of the cutback in youth community resources over the last 8 years,” said Michele Ozumba, the director of Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.
Life Decisions
So if you find out that your teenage daughter is pregnant, there are several decisions that both of you need to make. The different stories on teenage pregnancy will give you an idea about some of the consequences that these decisions may bring.
First of all, you’ve got to decide what you’re going to do with the baby. Are you going for abortion, adoption, or will you keep the baby?
Another major decision is what you’re going to do with the boyfriend of your teenage girl. Will you push him to marry your daughter? Or will you let them finish their college studies first before they get married – this would mean waiting for about 5-6 years (assuming that they still want it by then)?
