Re: Why is it cool to get pregnant - May 17th 2011, 12:00 AM

Some girls see it as 'cool' but a lot of them are just silly and make ill-informed choices. And then you get the girls who go through the ordeal of getting raped. Let's remember as well that it takes two to make a baby, the guy is just as responsible as the girl. It's just that people see baby and teen mom and automatically assume that they're easy when really, they don't know the full story at all.

It may seem like people think it's cool because it's become more socially acceptable and you have a lot more coverage in the media about it. Just because the girls in tv shows such as underage and pregnant (uk) aren't turning around and saying things like "I regret getting pregnant" and playing it down doesn't mean they intended to get pregnant or thought it was cool, in fact it's relatively easy to pick out the ones who do think it's cool to get pregnant because of the way they talk about it. The majority are just facing up to their responsibilities despite what people on the outside may think. Yes circumstances aren't ideal for them but we're human, people make mistakes and there will always be teenage parents around whether we like it or not.
