Preggo?

Recently I have been considering the idea that teen births effect education in America. If you stop and think about the situation it may become easy to agree with me. People who have had kids can definitely say that having a child completely changed their life. Well what about a teen-ager? Let’s say sussie has a kid because Bobby got her knocked up. Sussie and Bobby are both 16 and sophomores in high school in America. Both their parents make decent livings and they both hope to go to college. If Sussie is pregnant how can she afford or be able to go to college? If Bobby has to help support her how can he go to college or can afford it? Most people who have kids lose their focus and only will do the bare minimum and therefor can’t make it into college. Even if they could get into college how could they tend to their kid? So most individuals stop caring because they know it doesn’t matter. Another one of my close friends are writing a paper about making birth control over the counter. Think about the possibilities of making it over the counter. So many more teenagers could be able to and afford to go to college. This could be another way to make students more successful, by making birth control over the counter.
