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.
