The second most influential presentation I saw, was the presentation on teen pregnancy. True; it is one of the most talked about issues today. And yes, hearing the same things about teenagers acting sexually irresponsible gets old. But the fact remains, teenagers have sex with a lot less thought to the consequences in this day and age. Maybe, it's because we feel invincible walking around with the ignorant “it can't happen to me” attitude. Maybe it's due to ignorance of the facts, and the weight consequences. I think it has a lot to do with immaturity and the lack of sense it takes to think before we act.
Whatever it is. This is a situation that absolutely needs to stop, or more realistically, decrease. Children are being born to children more frequently than ever before. This means that more children are born into unstable, broken, unhealthy families. More babies are growing up with our real guidance. More children will grow up to be menaces to society (hustler, murderers, gangsters etc.). These are cycles we need to stop. Thing that need to be prevented.
I think, that it was brave to touch based on a subject that we all have heard about so much, because the problem is, indeed, relevant. I enjoyed the information that was presented and respect this particular group to choosing the topic. It never hurts to ear information over again. I think that is a good reason why there are not more teenage mother's than there are now.
