A community wide issue of babies having babies!
Last week, news reported that there has been nintey girls at a Memphis high school that are pregnant or has had a child this school year. Now local officals are launching intiatives to stem the tide of teen pregnancy. Teen pregnancy seems to be a huge world wide problem occurring everywhere. Not to mention,there are some high schools that have programs designed just for teen moms, I am guessing this special program designed just for teen moms must be some kind of day care, so the students just drop there kids of, and then they attend there classes.There are so many students getting pregnant, I can not believe that so many students at Memphis high are getting pegnant all in one school year, this is a serious problem! Now that most of the girls are pregnant at Memphis high I guess now most of the teens with kids will move to another high school that has child day care,which will be better for them because they do not have to pay, and now that they are mothers, they could continue completing there years in high-school. Most students get the idea of being pregnant, because some teens think babies are really cute and most teenagers look at the other kids having babies and get the crazy idea of doing the same thing,many teens just get pregnant on accident.Tennessee ranks in the top ten for the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country.To prevent teen pregnancy in Tennessee they have a "No Baby" awareness program. Hopefully in Tennessee the teenage pregnancy reduces.
