So many teens are put into the same category. For example irresponsible, uneducated, immature, living with their parents, no job, no responsibilities, etc.. Basically what everyone thinks is that teens have no idea how the world really works. And you know what? There are so many teens exactly like what I just described, but you know what else? There are so many that aren't. You can't just take one age group of people and put them all into one category. Everyone is different, with different aspirations, abilities, motivations, and circumstances. My point being that teens who are trying to conceive, who are pregnant, or who already have children should be treated no differently than any other parent out there. An education is one thing that I hear a lot when teen parents are being lectured, but I've heard stories, on more than one occasion of people who weren't teen parents, going back to school after their children were born and getting into new careers and jobs. Does that make them bad parents for going back to school when they've already had children? No. And these situations don't apply to people who necessarily have a lot of money either, but they were always able to provide for their children even after going back to school, even if their finances were tough to deal with. There are so many people who aren't fit to become parents who do it anyway, but that's completely alright because they had their child/children at the right age? My point being, teens have the same ability to adjust and be great parents just like anyone else. Also, I know it would have been in my best interest to make this anonymous but this is something I feel strongly about.
