Should teen pregnancy be discouraged in school?
Answer:
Teen preg. should definitely be discouraged in school, but not in such a way that they ostracize teen mothers. Students should be taught about pregnancy and how to avoid getting preg. They should learn about how it impacts the rest of their lives and from there it is really up to them. You cannot prevent it. I am proof of that. I disagree with a previous comment about not allowing teen mothers to participate in student gov., sports, etc. because they are representing the school. So what? Maybe instead of seeing these girls as a bad example they can take pride in the fact that they are staying in school, keeping their grades up (a requirement for sports participation) and actively taking a role in their education. I had my son at 17 yrs. of age and was asked by the school to transfer out. I declined. I went on to be captain of the volleyball team, captain of the diving team, captain of the softball team, a cheerleader and an honor grad. I also married the father of my son and am doing just fine. Not all teen pregnancies are a tragedy, it's all about how you handle it.
It should be discouraged EVERYWHERE.
what kind of question is this? It sure as hell shouldn't be promoted! What you think immature 14 15 16 yr olds should be having babies?
me personally teen pregnancy should be discouraged everywhere, they are still kids and mess up futures and lives but it starts with parents and the teens themselves
I had my daughter at 17 and I think it should be discouraged everywhere. What I've been through I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy.
If not discouraged at least not encouraged!!
Well it definitely shouldn't be encouraged, but I don't think that they should be punished if it does happen. Getting kicked out of school and sent of somewhere else shouldn't happen but participating in sports, student government and the like shouldn't be allowed because they are then representing the school, but that is opening up a whole new can of worms and a really big debate.
Yes, in fact, it should be discouraged everywhere. Teenagers are too young to bring a new life into this world, they need to live their own life first before they take that type of responsibility.
I dont think it should be discouraged..theres a lot of girls already pregnant in school and hows that going to make them feel.after it already happends they already know they messed up so hows it going to help when everyone at school treats them like older people do..llike its one big fat sin..i think its wrong either way i mean i wouldnt be like yeah your pregnant! but i wouldnt discourage it either.
it should, but it will happen, as kids feel that other people get pregnant, not them
Not discouraged but not looked up to either. Teen pregnancy can occure thought diffrent reasons as rape and throught consensual sex
honestly it should be discouraged until late 20s or perhaps even 30s. children are a lot of work. you don't want a child when you are young and still having fun.
I was a straight A student when I got pregnant in my senior year of high school. Once I started to show I was kicked out of school and put on home study because I was a bad example. Yes it should be discouraged, but not hidden away like a secret.
Of course, it should be discouraged.
As opposed to the principal poking tiny holes in all the boys' condoms?
I've (thankfully) never heard of a place where teen pregnancy is encouraged.
teen sex should be discouraged. once you are knocked up that's it. you are already pregnant. however education on options of an unplanned pregnancy should be doley handed out so each person can make an educated choice.
It should be discouraged period. Kids should be told about hygiene and the awesome responsibility sex can cause. Trying to teach abstinence as an option is a good idea and so is having free contraceptive devices if they really need them. We can't pretend they won't have sex - but we should let them know it's not all fun and games.
yes teen pregnancy should be discouraged and proper sex education should be encouraged.
DUH
yes it should. kids are to young to have a baby at that age.
not responsible. they have to grow up first. kids need to
study in school instead.
what do you mean by discouraged in school?
like ban pregnant teens from school
sometimes accidents happen its a fact of life
they should not be shunned from school
school is an important factor in life
As opposed to promoting it??
Yes, at school, at home, at the park, at church EVERYWHERE. Teen pregnancy is such a sad thing...where are the parents?
As someone who continued to attend school while pregnant...it IS discouraged. You are made to feel like the worst person on the planet by students, teachers, administrators, etc. You are less than human, your child is a MISTAKE, a blunder, a problem. My daughter is none of those things. She is a blessing that the powers that be decided to give me a little earlier than I expected to receive it.
I'm thinking maybe you didn't do a good job asking the question, because, as it is written, it's a pretty dumb question.
