If a teenage girl that is still in high school got pregnant and had to raise a baby when she herself wasn't fully raised herself, could have problems, but keep it together with a positive attitude! For example, on a website that I found, a 15 year old girl named Zina is five months pregnant with twins. Even though she thinks that she had gotten pregnant for a reason, she is still going to have a lot of problems! For starters, teenage pregnancy is very common in the United States, the rate of them getting pregnant is about 750,000 annually! In school,when the girls are pregnant it could be hard to go through all of the activities, such as, Gym and extracurricular activities because of the hard work that they would have to go through. Next, from previous experience, my cousin had gotten pregnant in high school and it turned her whole life around! She had to go to all the doctors appointments, and that meant she would miss softball practice and games. Then, in school her grades would drop from all of the stress from having the baby when of course, she would have to raise the baby,on her own. Even though she still did have her child, she made sure to finish school to become an English teacher. So, if you do have a positive attitude while being a teenage mother, things could turn out for the best. Every teen who gets pregnant needs to decide whether or not to keep the baby or not. I found out that around 51% of teenagers decide to actually keep their babies; where as, 49% decide not to. Lastly, when a girl gets pregnant in school, they tend to drop out. In fact, about 66% drop out to take care of their babies, and their parents do not want anything to do with the situation. So, they are forced to be on their own and learn how to become an adult earlier than expected. So as you can see, when getting pregnant in school, it can be a really big hassle, but with a positive attitude, you can get through it!
