Early Pregnancy

The world of early pregnancy is all too familiar for this generation. It so often that we personally know someone who got pregnant at such a young age. If we don't,the media never fail to remind us of this reality. Its in our televisions, movies magazines,social network and internet.
so the tagline goes "if its positive call MTV"
Shows like "16 and pregnant" and "Teen Mom" is just prime example of it. In this show you can see the teens struggle to balance teenage life and parenthood. They are barely adults themselves but they are force to face the music. 

These kids did it and they face the consequence

The depicts the high and lows of early parenthood
I hope though that this show will serve as a positive force so as to let teens know about the consequences of early sexual escapades. I hope it does not twist their noggins into believing that getting pregnant is "in thing".  Here is a promising fact from dosomething.org "Teens had fewer babies in 2010 than in any year since the mid-1940s". Parenthood is a beautiful and fulfilling experience, but it has its fair share of challenges.Dudes before you unzip your pants and ladies before you spread your legs: think of the consequences. Ask yourself if you are ready to face whatever consequence, be an STI or pregnancy.

Facts are just facts and statistics are just numbers, if your a teenage parent then its not the end of the world. Face the music and carry on. Prove to everyone that against all odds you are going to beat society's perception.
