The transition of the technology that took years to develop a few decades ago now has decreased into months. Even the communication, from scrolls to letters, we now have computers or cellular phones where in just a few minutes or even seconds you can receive and send messages to other people. It also includes making things a lot easier like the transportation, producing instant foods, etc.
However, there has always been a down fall with it. There are some issues that has not been resolved but rather became more viral. Instead of learning from the mistakes of our old folks, the desire of being better leads to making it worst. There is a tendency wherein generations after generation lose track of the awareness of what is right from wrong. They end up learning through their own experience which shouldn't be that way all the time. It seems that its just merely a cycle that repeats over and over again.

Pregnancy is one of the greatest things that could ever happen to a woman. Bearing a child for nine months is not easy. It takes a lot of care in order to keep the baby healthy in the mother's womb. Imagine you are bearing a human being inside your body for months. You'll undergo certain processes like monthly check ups, being required to eat foods that you do not usually eat daily or simply the morning sickness where you'll just feel sick every time you wake up. Pregnancy requires you to take a special care of yourself because technically you are taking care of two human being at once.
In an article from the New York Daily news entitled Tough truths by teen pregnancy, John Mcwhorter tackles about teenage pregnancy and hard it is to be a single mom. He also mentioned in his article the truth about our generation today, that simple ad warning doesn't work anymore instead people are even getting offended by it. There was a statement where he said, "I suspect that many women like her are seeing the posters as plain old good advice."
There has been studies that, not only the number of teenage pregnancy is increasing, but also the range of their ages. What does that mean? it means that as time goes by, girls who gets pregnant tends to get younger and younger. A doctor shared that the youngest girl she was able to handle on giving birth was only 12 years old. Shocking? here's more, at the age of 15 she gave birth again for her 2nd child.
Another article from The Washington Post by Ruth Marcus entitled Truth-telling on teen pregnancy supported Mcwhorter's idea. Teen moms needs support most specially when they are trying to provide for their child or children if I may say. it was also detailed what are the possibilities you'll end up with if you are child of a teen mom. There's a large possibility you'll not be able to finish school and worst for boys, they end up going to prison. He states, "But to say that we shouldn’t shame pregnant teenagers is different from saying that it’s a shame anytime a teenager gets pregnant."
Teenage pregnancy is a part of our generation. Yes, it is sad that we have to face this reality but let our awareness be an advantage to help resolve it. For me, it would be helpful if every kid would be given the right education not only academically but also in terms of these sensitive things.
