Teen Pregnancy!!

In my community, teen pregnancy is growing my the years. This terrible trend is spreading around and around, it looks like it will never end. Now a days you have girls aged 11 and 12 getting pregnant and having a baby. They are not even a teenage yet, not even in high school. Im not saying it is okay to have a baby as a teenager but 11 and 12 year olds are in their pre-teen years. They are babies theirselves, so how can a baby have a baby? I ask that question all the time, when I see girls my age or even younger than me with a baby bump. I also wonder where are the parents when their child is doing all of these things. Do they know, if they do do they even care? In most cases, when you see a teenage girl pregnant, most likey their mother was the same way when they were their childs' age. It is just a reoccuring trend thats happening. It is really getting ridiculous out here with the teenage preganacy rate and also the abortion rate from teen girls. I personally hate abortions, but most of the girls that get pregnant need to have one. And when they do have one all they do is turn right back around and get pregnant again. Then have another abortion. What is the point, if you know that if you have unprotected sex you will possibly end up pregnant and you know you are not ready for a child. Now a days, it seems like most of these girls have not heard of a condom or birth control. Well, they need a reality check because they both are availiable to us girls for a reason. Also, for the girls having unprotected sex, what they are not aware of the aids rate in Washington, DC? We have the number one AIDS rate in the world, we are more than Africa. Africa is way bigger than Washington, DC so for us to higher than them is a huge shock. That alone should open our eyes to better protecting ourselves. Nobody between the ages of 10-17 is fully ready to take care of a child.
