In America, 3 in 10 teenage girls become pregnant before their twenties. That's nearly 250,000 teen pregnancies every year in the United States alone, and it's terrible. It is estimated that approximately seventy percent of pregnant teenagers drop out of some type of school. Only half of these young women have a job, half of 250,000 women, that's a lot! More than fifty percent of teen mothers have not even graduated from high school. It's really a shame. The reasons these teen moms drop out of school are physical problems, morning sickness, emotional problems, embarrassment, and fear of harassment. None of these reasons include getting a job or staying in school for a higher education to benefit yourself or your children. Even worse, after twenty-four months with their first child without education or work, 25% of those teen mothers become pregnant again. Less than 2% of teen moms earn a college degree by age thirty. These teenage parents are living off the government because of the choices they made when they were young in life and who pays the government to pay these mothers? Taxpayers who work hard in society with an earned salary. It's not fair to the rest of the people to try to get an education and a good paying job only to realize that some of the taxes taken out of their checks go to the programs that the teen parents are using because they did it wrong
