Okay this is getting ridiculous when was there ever such a datable topic as pro- teen pregnancy? The controversy in this discussion is not stemming from is teen pregnancy good or bad, but why does it happen? When I would sometimes (when I was at home sick) watch all these lifetime movies about teen pregnancy (rape, etc. though this is not the point) you start getting wound up in it and think how unfair it was and how unlucky it is. Then I think to myself how could this have been prevented (bring myself back to reality) and the answer seems so simple! It only takes what like a couple of dollars to protect you from ruining your life (and no I’m am not discussing people who are teenage parents) But don't try to sell off this idea as a social norm. I am not questioning whether the person is bluntly "good or bad". More to the fact is how daft you can be. As well to those who might rebuttal me on this, for those people who do not get a good education let alone sex education, or were raped, or for whatever reasons why the contraception (whatever type was used) did not work this am not about them. And in today's society we are extremely lucky that (for now) this option when really thought about is so easy. (I say it's always better to use a condom or both; protect your health as well, and others). You can (at least in the first few months, days w/e after having sex), take the morning after pill (emergencies only should not be a substitute); which can be bought in drug stores, get an abortion (we are not debating this one right now, so lay off), wear a condom (best choice, least expensive, most guaranteed, prevents STD's), and use birth control pills (I would use both, w/e). Lastly, today we not only have better (not perfect, nothing is let alone perfect) sex education, (that is more open in today’s society than it ever was)(sometimes to a point to open) we have something (most people) that we are using now.... the Internet! I'm not talking about have fancy computers, but any kind of outlet to the World Wide Web. Which is just bursting with this info and advice, type of one topic and bam it's there.... (I don't need have people reply back to me with stories how I am wrong because I didn't adapt every lit bit of my explanation to every single person on the planet. Basically what I am saying is that for the majority this applies.) And I know everyone has different income, upbringings, etc. And that peer pressure is tough, but then again you can always say no. And if you did say no and this happen well...that falls into the group of outliers: rape, incest, etc.
And no this doesn't matter what age ethnicity or gender I am or background I come from to say if my opinion is VALIDATED, because this is a free country and people say it al the time without any remorse.
It does apply when I am being questioned of who I am and what my opinions are. But once again it's nurture vs. nature, and for some of us to be able to rise above and question what we were taught and know. A person once told me one of the most important things in my life, "There are so many things in this world, which if we just got them done our lives would be so much easier and all around better (different)."
This is in general, not exactly about the movie. (disclaimer if you will)
