Teen Pregnancy... not so GLAMOUROUS is it?

Once taboo, pregnant teenagers are popping up more frequently on TV, in movies and on magazine covers. The problem? This latest pop-culture coverage doesn't show what comes before or after.

If you are a young teen mother looking for support check out these sites:

Teen pregnancy has been misrepresented in the media.

Just because Jaime Lynn Spears is embracing motherhood doesnt mean you should too. Teen moms are less likely to finish high school and more likely to end up on welfare. Teen pregnancy is not to be glorified.

Movies are just fantasizing what it's like to be young and having a baby. But in reality people are either stupid enough to get pregnant intentionally or it's just a total accident, now I love kids but I wouldn't have any when I'm still a kid myself.

Puking in a toilet is that all you can come up with? How about having to mooch off of the system and your parents losing every shred of honour? How about having your bf leave you to raise that little mistake all alone when no man wants to take on the responsibility of another man?

Teen mothers are fucking retarded, they throw their whole lives away. WAKE UP GOD DAMNIT!!

How can you disagree? They're doing this in so many forms, clothes, movies, advertisements, TV shows, the current teen generation is extremely immoral and what teenager respects their parents? They will always look elsewhere for influences so that's why I think this is getting out of hand

And sadly there are plenty of fathers of these children who want to do their part and do the child rearing. The men I am talking about are ones of extraordinary character and are better financially equipped, but then the mother, out of pride, prevents this from happening because she had the baby to serve her own selfish means. Stupid Stupid Stupid bitches!

@anniemariewerner But would you have cranked out the babies if you KNEW that you were going to get ZERO BABY MOMMA BENNIES????? Nope, I bet not.

@wbtonner81 Well, you see the struggle that is going on now, the Government is at the point where it HAS no choice but to start cutting, But people in the system and the politicians that need their votes are very much opposed to any cuts. This whole apparatus that is set up to give women bennies actually entices women to go on the dole. If the government is giving out bennies....well, there will be a long, long line of folks there to scoop up the bennies........ESPECIALLY BABY MOMMA BENNIES.

WTF boner? wasnt even intended....

The biggest influence on teen pregnancy is a million years of evolution. Procreating sooner than later is highly selected for. The genes for "professional woman that puts off pregnancy until it is too late" rapidly leave the gene pool.

I mean, was everyone sleeping in science class? Don't believe in Darwin and natural selection?  Helloooooooooo.

There is nothing wrong or unusual with teen girls getting pregnant.

Any questions?

@tickyul I could not agree more with this statement.

They need to get rid of the Baby Bonus, etc. it's bullshit. People that can't afford kids, shouldn't have kids. Gone are the days when you had to plan to have a child and make sure you were at the right stage in your life. Now, you can pop out 5 or 6, not have a job, sit on your arse all while getting benefits from the government. The government needs to start supporting working class people, and not idiots who just pop out children.
