Happy Girl

Is EVERYONE getting pregnant now? Is that the new cool thing to do? It seems like so many girls that I know are getting pregnant at a young age. Do you REALLY want to have a baby at 18 or 19 years old? Really? My mother had a baby at 19, but she got married at 18, wasn't in college, and both her and her husband had good jobs. They did it the right way. Do you really want to have a baby when your boyfriend isn't even that committed to you, when you don't have a job, when you live with your parents, and you aren't in school? I understand that accidents happen, but this is SO easily avoidable. There are many, MANY ways to keep these things at bay that it just doesn't make sense. The reason it bothers me so much is because in a year, there will be a lot of precious babies that are being raised by their 40 year old grandparents, have been aborted, or are being neglected because their mother and father were too irresponsible to use protection. I've seen many girls have a baby at a young age and then leave the baby with their mother while they go out partying. It's ridiculous and it makes me sad.

Thank you for letting me vent. ;)
