Teen Mom Speeches

In life you’re granted with one life, one body, one or two sets of parents, maybe even one parent. But you’re granted with one life and one life only so you’re expected to take care of it, to live it to the fullest. I for one plan to live a very healthy life till my time is up. But by that I plan to have a daily exercise routine, perhaps a morning walk or run follow by a healthy diet. I like to think the mornings are what gets the day started. Also continue to have a small group of positive people because why surround yourself with negative people who don’t want to see you succeed? I like to thank my mother, someone who has not only helped but inspired me throughout my 19 years of living. And as I take on my road of adulthood she has had more …show more content…
Every bit of advice I’ve been agreeing with and given whether it was from doctors, speakers, and even family members have advised me to always use protection. Having to go through a teen pregnancy isn’t part of my plan and I wouldn’t think it’s a part of other teens either. It’s something that happens but also could be prevented. Having talks with actual teen parents, even the TV series “Teen Mom” will show you the difficulties that come with being a pregnant teen. Having talks with your significant other and letting them know that you aren’t ready for teen pregnancy and maybe not ready for sex either, so try to focus on your future. Nobody controls the situation but you. I have lived 19 years and I’ve been preventing teen pregnancy by using protection and talking to my partner, letting him know that it can wait. I’m determined to wait till I’m done with receiving my education. Yes it makes it difficult from times especially if you’ve been in a relationship for a long time and your partner wants to show you how much they care, but it’s not worth one time without protection and setting the high rates of potentially getting

    Schools and parents need to start concentrating on teaching their young teenagers about how the body works and what are ways to prevent teen pregnancy. They need to do this is because the research from the article “A Strategy Backfires, Increasing Teen Births," written by Zoe Greenberg, has shown that using the computerized baby system increases the number of teens getting pregnant and giving births.

    “to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived” This excerpt from “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau speaks of a life unlived when it's nearing too late. Thoreau writes about living every day as if it were your last, taking in every chance to enrich and define yourself. How pursuing even the most simple of passions could prove to be worthwhile. I agree in the possibility that it is never too late to do what you’ve dreamt of and bring new perspective when looking into the horizon. When you genuinely love doing something it becomes your passion, but if fear or fear of regret impact your decisions it can be easily regretted.…

    Its outrageous the fact that school boards keep a system in place that doesn't teach how to stop unplanned pregnancies is outdated and frankly doesn't work because it only provides half of the knowledge. A passage taken right out of the NAEA or National Abstinence Education association's website states “Despite what you may read in the newspapers, there is a growing body of research that confirms that abstinence-centered education decreases sexual initiation, increases abstinent behavior among sexually experienced teens, and/or decreases the number of partners…

    Did you know that there are about 16 million girls ages fifteen to nineteen that give birth each year? There is a generational cycle of teen pregnancy and it is the repeated cycle of teenage pregnancy that happens every year. The generational cycle of teen pregnancy happens all the time because of the influence from media, peers, and the lack of knowledge about the consequences of teen pregnancy. Drugs/alcohol can also increase a teen’s risk of becoming a parent because it worsens their decision making skills which can cause that person to do things that they don’t want to do if they were sober, and that can lead them to do sexual things. I am for anti-teen pregnancy and that’s because it can ruin the teens’ school life, ruin their relationship…
