Pregnant...really?

Okay, so today I found out some news. My sister's friend is pregnant. Now, normally I would be happy, but honestly, I'm not. And I'm not a bad person for not being happy, it's just she's not ready to be having a baby right now. Mostly because she's only 19. I have no idea what it is, but lately everyone under the age of 20 has been having babies. I think about fifty of them in the past year have all had babies, and they're still in the age range where their age still has the word "teen" in it. Now, if I'm not mistaken, I think that's horrible. Not to mention that my sister's friend isn't only 19, but she isn't even in a relationship with the father. No, I know that's not important but when you're that young, I think maybe it is. I know how fast people come and go in her life, is he going to be another one? It just angers me because she's the only one working and she isn't even making that much money. I mean, she has to always beg my mum for food. How is she supposed to pay for a baby? She can get a crib and all that stuff from her sisters, but diapers and food and all the other stuff he needs to buy herself, well that's expensive and she can't do that if she can barely feed herself. I even heard her tell my mum that she wasn't ready to have a baby, she was too young. Good, at least she understands that. Hopefully she will do the right thing here and give it for adoption. Maybe have a baby when she's older and has the money to actually take care of it.

Sex & Babies

I've seen at least 20 or more people on Facebook who've announced they're having babies in the past year (2012). I'm not saying it's a bad thing, lots of people have babies, but most of these people are my age or younger. I'm 20. Now, my mom had me at 20, and I don't think 20 is too young to have a baby but when you're 15 and pregnant than I think that's not good. Does anyone else remember the days where people waited to have sex, where people had babies after they were 25? Yeah, me neither. I don't like to judge people, I try not to, but it's so hard when I check Facebook every day and see pictures of these young girls with big bellies. It's sad. Very few people do still decide that they want to wait until marriage to have sex and I'm behind them on that. I'm planning on waiting until marriage, if not than waiting for someone I really love. I'm not going to throw it away just to get it over with. I get one chance to lose my virginity and that's it. I'm going to make it special. Besides, I believe that we learn from our parents. So if these kids know that their parents had sex at a young age they might think it's okay and they might do it. Which could lead to having a baby at a young age. Especially when the person is 12. 12, I think and I'm sure a lot of you would agree, is way to young to be having sex. It's like you're trying to grow up too fast. I don't want to criticize or offend anyone but this is just my opinion. If anyone out there does have sex at a young age, don't get upset about this. It's just what I think. Just one person. One ordinary girl.
