Teenage Pregnancy


Today I want to talk about pregnancy on teenagers. It is really hard talking to 14, 15 or 16 year old pregnant girls who are experiencing situations that they shouldn't. Every pregnant woman, is a women in state of need. Women need the man’s support and the children need a solid family for a stable growth. Pregnancy should be within a formed family, as so does sexual intercourse.

Once I was counseling a 15 year old girl and I had to remind myself her age because her appearance, dress and make-up made her seemed older. Sometimes they are girls in an adult bodies, or girls trying to look people who are not. Many of them are led or misled by men older than themselves and so on. The danger in them is maturity, far away at these ages.

We live in a society where pleasure has a leading role. Where everything seems to be easy and okay. Teenagers are having sex for pleasure forgetting responsibility behind. The fact of a growing percentage of teenage pregnancy alerts that there is something we are not doing well. And we’ll pay this in the future.

Christian and human values are needed to be taught , as well as sex education. Family has a really important role for not letting these girls unescorted in the savage society in which we live.

Behind the make-up face hides a girl who needs to be loved and educated, so she can grow up and mature, and when that happens, form her family and give the same to her children. Transmitting values and love among generations.
