I personally know a girl who is 16 and is 9 mos. and 2 wks pregnant. in fact i have known her since i was in the 4th grade. and over that corse of time she has changed. She was that girl that always told if you were doing somthing that you shouldnt or told if you didnt do your chores....but the year befor she got pregnant when she was 14-15 she started smoking and drinking and she became sexually active.

So now she is well over due to have her baby. She decided to keep the baby but she often tells me that she asks herself 'what kind of life is this baby going to have?" The baby's dad is under an arrest warrent and wont EVER be there for her OR her baby. Her mom who will be helpoing her take care of the baby is no better....so she is in a pretty tough situation and cant back out now...this kind of shows you how a teen can chnge within 1-2 years of her life.

I think that this is caused mainly because of wanting to keep this image of "Im willing to take chances" so she can keep her boyfriend or sometimes her best friend. I think that if rap artists and pop singers would stop singing songs about having sex, doing drugs, parting all the time and how they are ok to do, and put out positive messages then the number of sexually active teens may greatly decrease...
