PERSONAL OPINION
„Personally I do not support teenage pregnancy if it is
not the plan that they want to have a baby. Otherwise I
would say that it is better that the girl keeps a baby than
has an abortion.“
If
we compare present and past we can see that they do not differ
so much in births among teenagers, but just in the reasons why they
became young parents. In the past it
was understandable having a
child at the age of eighteen or nineteen, because they did not go to
university. However, nowadays teenagers do not plan pregnancy,
nevertheless they become pregnant. It is because of unprotected
sex or during parties if they drink too much and do not know what
are they doing.
In my opinion teenage pregnancy is a reflection
of life nowadays. Although there are a lot of
warnings about unprotected sex, youngsters are
curious and let’s say irresponsible and because
of this girls become pregnant. In this case
abortion is preferred to keeping a baby.
