The Pregnancy Pact

i just finished watching the lifetime original movie The Pregnancy Pact. the movie is based on the true story of a small town high school where a large number of teenage girls (16 and younger) become pregnant in a short period of time. the film deals with a rumor that many of the girls became pregnant on purpose and made a deal with each other that they would all have babies together, as teenagers. true or not, that is not the issue i'm really concerned with. here is the reality of the situation: most teenagers will/do not wait until they are married to have sex.
the most important thing that adults can do for their teens (i hate they are constantly being referred to as children) is not only educate them about birth control and protection from STDs but also willingly provide them. if you don't want your daughter have sex and she confides in you, telling you she is planning on/or is already sexually active and wants to take measures to prevent pregnancy then i suggest you help her out for a few reasons. first of all she trusts you and if you yell at her and punish her then you will shut down any amount of trust between the two of you. second of all she will probably have sex anyway and without the proper birth control ad contraceptives she will be at risk for pregnancy and STDs.
but that isn't to say that adults are to blame. teenagers, if you are going to have sex, be smart. use condoms and/or other birth control methods. really think about the decisions you are making. girls are not meant to be mothers. women are. when you're 15, 16 or even 18 you are most likely not equipped to deal with something like raising a child. yes, i understand that it might be your only life dream to raise a family but there is plenty of time for that. i'm 18 years old and i can barely navigate the world in regards to taking care of myself let alone being responsible for the life of another.
i'm not an advocate for abstinence but i'm not an advocate for being sexually active as a teen either. i'm an advocate for smart and safe thinking before making decisions that can alter your life.
