The effects of being a Teen Mom

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Big Rich

There are many teenagers, now days that is getting pregnant. With teenagers getting pregnant at a young age, it actually makes their life a lot harder than what they think.

The first way they are making their life a lot hard is because of going to school. Now, with have a new born baby, they have to juggle both school and taking care of their baby. Some teenager will actually drop out of High School to take care of the child but that really does not help the matters. Dropping out of High School can actually be the worst thing to do because now how will they be able to find a job later. With not being able to find a job, how will they be able to support their child.

The next way they are making their life a lot hard is because now they can have a normal teenager’s life. Now they have to grow quickly because they have a big reasonability, taking care of a child. Taking care of child is never easy because you have to make sure that they are eat, are clothed, have a roof over their head, that they are safe and everything else that comes with taking care of child.

Another way that they are making their life a lot hard is because now they might be raising the child all by themselves because not every teen father will stay with the mother of the child. So, with being a teen mother and not teen father not wanting to help with anything. What is going to happen? In some cases the parents of the teenage mom, will step and up take care of both the teenager and their grandchild. They are almost done raising their one child, but now they are raising their grandchild.

Being a teen mom is a hardest thing for anybody to go though. There are some teenagers that have worked though being a teen mom but it was not easy for them. Also being pregnant as a teenager can actually cause some harmful medical conditions. Which will include; anemia, low birth weight, preterm delivery, and other health conditions that can be prevented if they just wait till they are in their 20’s. Also, with teenagers not wearing any type of protection, they are opening themselves up to receive some type of STD (Sexually Transmitted Diseases.)

Just remember to wear some type of protection for you can protect yourself from anything happening to early.

Teenager Peer Pressure with Drugs

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Big Rich

Teenagers have to deal with a lot peer pressure. Being under peer pressure, teens will pretty much do anything for they can fit in.

The most common peer pressure situation that teens have to handle is doing drugs. About half of the teenagers, will try and start doing drugs, when they are in high school. While the other half of the teenager in high school says “no” to drugs.

The teens that start doing drugs can become addicted to the drug. Different drugs that teenagers are introduced too are; tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, meth and taking prescription pills (that are actually somebody else’s prescription pills.) When teenagers become addicted to any drug, except for tobacco, they do not get good grades. With not getting good grades, they drop out of high school and start hanging out with the wrong type of people. Sometimes, they can start hanging out with wrong people at the same time as they become addicted to some type of drug. Even tobacco, is drug and can be as additive as other drugs but they do not mess with people’s brain as much as the other drugs.

When they start hanging out with the wrong type of people that is when they start becoming trouble makers and breaking the law. They can start robbing people or places of business (for they can support their habit, without getting a job,) destroying property or even killing people. With making all of these bad decisions that is why so many teenagers ends up either jail or even dead.

But there are teenagers that do not even start using drugs. These are the teenager that goes off to college and graduates with a degree to start their career, in whatever they pick. With not trying drugs, those teenagers have a good head on their shoulders and they know what they want in life. With them having a good head on their shoulders, they will become good adults, which will turn into good parents, when they decide to become parents.

Depending on if teenagers start doing drugs or not, will depend on what kind of an adult they will be. Even though they can turn their lives around with the help of a recovery center, if they start taking drugs it will be a very long road for them. They have to handle a lot with trying to break the addiction, it can be done but it will hard.
