A Teen Pregnancy..Gone Wrong
Almost every high school student nowadays are thinking about having sex with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Unprotected sex can lead to diseases such as Aids. The main thing that can lead to sex is getting pregnant. There are one million teen pregnancies each year, starting from ages 13-17.This is the highest rate of teen pregnancies.You hear a lot about teen pregnancies and how it affects their lives, their partners lives and their future. Also, there are young teen age girls who want to have babies.On the Tyra Banks show she had young teens and them getting pregnant and who want to get pregnant. That CRAZY. But one story about one teenage girl brought me to tears. In 2006, a 17 year old senior in high school and her boyfriend were having sex and unfortunatly she got pregnant. Now heres the weird part. She kept it a secrect from her family and her boyfriend.The only person who knew was her best friend. This girl was a heavy set , so now one susspected anything. Nine months later she went into labor.Without waking her parents up she took towels, went to the basement and gave birth. When your in the situation your body cant control whats happening. After she gave birth she wrap the baby in a towle. At this point, a first time mom would cry be happy and just enjoy motherhood. But, thats not what she was thinking. Next to her was a knife that she took from the kitchen and stabbed the infant child more than 130 times.Ater that she placed the deceased body in a garbage pale.Afterwards she called her friend and told her what had happend and what she's done. Her friend was so disterbed and disgusted at her friend that she called the police. The killer mother got arrested for first degree murder and is now serving her time in prison. I still cant belive that this had happend. I'll confess it was pretty hard to write what had happend.Just thinking about it gives me a knot in my stomach. A reporter said that some pregnate girls dont know what to do and dont want to face motherhood so they give up on them or kill. I think it is so important to have safe sex. Something like that can change your life completly. Actions lead to consiquenceses and we should take thos actions and deal with it respocibly. This is a topic that every high school in America should know about.

This pece of writing is very well written. Its fucked up how human beings have the capacity to behave in such an atrocious way. Of course safe sex is important but accidents do happen. If one occurs the best thing to do is not to lie. Be honest with your parents and then the options are either abortion or adoption. Murder is never the answer to anything, but alot of teens are not educated enough on how to behave in such a situation. Blame that on the parents.
ReplyDeleteSteff, as I was reading this, it was hard not to get disgusted by it. Unfortunately things happen like this always and it's a shame what a person does after it happens. It's true, girls are getting pregnant to young these days and they can't handle the pressure; even though that's no excuse for any of this. Just like Alex said in his comment, accidents do happen but honesty is usually the best way out of any situation and this would be a great example. I can't believe because the average person wonders what could possibly possess a person to do just a horrific thing. Murder should NEVER be an option but unfortunately teens get overwhelmed and turn to the worst.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very depressing yet disgusting at the same time. I did not think the mother would actually stab her child with the Knife. I understand what she was going through but killing wasn't the right thing. In that situation the best thing to do was to just to let her parents know that she was pregnant. I think her friend did the right thing by calling the police because she deserves it.
ReplyDeleteExcellent (and terrifying) post.
