As a Christian, premarital sex is a no-no. As the child of a woman who had her first baby as an unmarried teen, premarital sex is a no-no. As a girl with low self-esteem who though that after you had done it once there was no point in saying “no”, I became pregnant at 19. The fact that I miscarried doesn’t make teenage pregnancy less of a heartbreaking issue for me. I’ve always had strong feelings for girls dealing with being alone and pregnant, feeling like outcasts, with hormones more out-of-control than normal. I’ve always wanted to help, but wasn’t sure how. Then I “met” Miss Avis Ward on Twitter.

Do pop culture's portrayals of teen pregnancy harm young women?
When fast-fashion chain Forever 21 announced this month that they were rolling out a maternity line in five states — three of which have the highest teen pregnancy rates in the country — they were accused of what has become a common charge: glamorizing teen pregnancy.

 Teenage pregnancy facts state that roughly 95% of teenage pregnancies are unintended. Teenage mothers usually do not have an easy life after their pregnancy. Many researchers argue that women who experience teenage pregnancy do not have easy lives even before they become pregnant.
Teenage pregnancy facts show that both before and after their pregnancy, adolescent mothers are more likely to have low family incomes. They are actually more likely to be poor and on welfare. Indeed, the poorer the adolescent, the more likely she is to become pregnant. Adolescent mothers are less educated than women who wait until at least 20 to have a baby, they are less likely to be married and their children are more likely to have developmental problems.
