Rising numbers of teenage pregnancy are often quoted to prove that our society is going downhill. Young pregnant teens can be seen casual about their unplanned pregnancy, perhaps unaware of the huge responsibility that is on their way to get to them where they will have to care for a child on their own. The world seems to go topsy-turvy as mothers are yet kids and kids have become mothers.
The irony of the situation is that while people blame younger generation for being so irresponsible, little attention is paid to the generation who is parenting these teenagers and what they are doing to ensure their child’s safety and a secure future for her. Today, both the parents are working hard to ear more bucks and buy everything precious to fill their house with.
In the process, they forget that where the most precious thing in their life has got lost and what has become of their children. While they are trying to fulfill their dreams and afford their children’s dreams too, they forget to ask their children what they really need. They lose interest in parenting their children and the child misses out on love and affection, the two most needed things in a child’s life.
It is then that child try to find them with someone their own age and try to start out their own families. However, they are still not mature nor they have ever learnt to sustain relationships by example of their parents and family members and they break up. Teen pregnancies do not only mean that birth control had not been used properly but also that they are probably the results of promiscuous behavior in the face of seeming parental indifference.
