The pregnancy disease

It's been a problem since I was in high school from 2005-2009 and it's still ongoing. This "Pregnancy Disease" it seems like all you have to do to get pregnant is get the pregnant touch. So many young, single girls are getting pregnant. They're not ready for babies, sheesh last year they just started riding their bikes with no training wheels and they're still in training bras. The steady incline of teen pregnancy brings up so many questions without a lot of answers.

"Who's to blame?" Some could say the parents for not doing enough to keep their children from engaging in sexual activities without knowing all the risks and how to protect themselves. While others believe it could be the school's responsibility to educate their students on right and wrong. Also it could be their environment. Imagine living in a home where your mother is a single parent and had you or one of your siblings young, or your friends are having sex and getting pregnant that too could also play a role in this.

We also need a solution. These girls have this glorified vision of pregnancy and aren't aware of the stress and change that they're putting on their bodies. Never mind the fact that the responsibility of raising a child shouldn't fall on one person let alone a child themselves. I'm 20 years old and I still consider myself too immature for children. I know that if I was to have a child right now I don't have the skills or the financial ability to do for them. Someone needs to teach these girls this. I want the disease to stop. Pregnancy use to be a wonderful time between a man and woman welcoming their child into the world. Now the delivery rooms look like daycares. Babies raising babies and these girls don't realize that they might have to do it alone.
