Teen Pregnancy
October 5, 2009
Could it be, It shouldn't be something so fragile and delicate moving inside. This skinny little body not yet ready to be stretched and expanded. This girl not yet ready to have one of god's miracles of life. I can barley take care of myself, how would it be with a child on the way. A man who who plead his innocense to the very end. He's on the football team and I just hang my head in the hateful school walls dreading the results. If it says yes I'll be giving up all my hopes and dreams, and maybe ruining his life. If it says no I don't know if I can stop thinking about what could have been. Just another teen pregnancy, another statistic, another failing mother just trying to get by. Although I had always heard about it, I never thought about it, or even contemplated that it might happen to me. I take another deep breath, sighing heavily and I head to class. No matter what, I will do what's right, and that's to live without regrets.

I think that teen pregnancy is okay. If you want to RUIN YOUR LIFE just to get a little fun, it's not worth it. I almost got my girl prego, and it scared us to death. It would of ruined my soccer career and her life.

I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think. Just think you'll get to bring a human into the world. Your baby is going to grow up and be a beautiful person just like you! Don't think your life is over because its not! We all make mistakes. Small or big they are just the same. Your lifes not over it has just begun! Also remeber this is not you fault its his too. Find someone to help you through this if he won't! ~ To all the teen moms out there.

Right now I could say that I'm sorry for you. But you just wrote an amazing article with love, feeling and passion. I've never been in that situation before, but all I can say is this. Everything happens for a reason, and if you do become a teen mother, then god thought you were strong enough to handle it. You'll be a great mom and find a way to work it out. Stay positive with your chin up and nothing will hold you back from chasing your dreams, you just may need to find another way.
u wud only be another statitstic if u let yourself be. honestly accidents happen. if u are pregnant that baby is a blessing from god. always remember that babys a life, not a mistake. getting pregnant at a young age may be an accident bt no human life is. my sister was 15 and she had a baby and she just turned 16. My nephew is 3 months and hes incredible. hes changed her life for the better. it will be hard if u are pregnant bt thats y u hav to be strong for ur baby and urself. i may not know u bt im here if u need sum1 to talk to! just keep ur head up!

wow I'm really starting to like this place! Haha to everyone on here not being cruel about this issue, I'm very impressed! I agree of course. I'm just glad that people don't try to give you crap for this. I understand that this is your feelings and that it's a big kick in the head and that it's hard. My boyfriend and I have had many of these scares but don't worry. It will be okay. You can make it through. It will be a lot harder but it's completely possible. Thank you so much for adding this poem here, it's a huge issue in society today. As a poem, it could use some work. You really should space the lines since it's a poem. Being all crushed together distracts from the poem itself and it's so much better for the reader to pick up a rhythm and structure when it's spaces out. Great work though!

like i dont' know what u r going though but just because u might have a baby does not mean that u have to give up ur hopes & dreams.u still can do everything that u want just maybe take little longer to do it.i know their going to be point when u want to give up but think bout da life that u might be carrying.u r not da first person to get pregnant at a young age so don't feel bad bout ur self. people make mistakes every1 deserves a second chance just dont make da same mistake twice;) o n dont look at it as a mistake their a reason y God chose to have this baby :)
