Good or Bad

I found an article from Santa Cruz Sentinel, which gives news from local area in Mexico. This one is about a girl Janeth Diaz. She found herself pregnant when she was 16. She felt good, bad and scared, all at the same time.

Janeth moved back in with her mother, herself a teen mom. Graciela Navarro was 18 and still living in Mexico when she had Janeth, and was disappointed to learn her daughter would travel the same troubled road.

Janeth, now 18, has five friends with children, ,like Janeth, they wanted children, even while they themselves were still growing up. To these girls, teen pregnancy is another rite of passage into adulthood, and if not celebrated, at least accepted.

It makes me concern about that teenagers might think that getting pregnant is a stage of becoming an adult. I think this is certainly not a good way to experience an adults life, having a child means that you need to give up your childhood. It is because you need to spend your time to take care of your child. And are you really prepare to be a mother or a father?

However, some parents said that relationship with their child has improve due to the unexpected baby, because they understand the difficulties of being a parents. Well, in this point I think it is really uncertain to say that teenage pregnancy is a bad thing or not. Still, I do not really argree with teens getting pregnant.

What do you think? Do you think that is good or not?
