The teenagers could also raise the child themselves. This puts a huge burden on the family, but it can be done. There are support services that the child can get, such as formula and diapers and doctor visits at low or no cost. This will give the baby the healthy start it needs without costing the family money they don t have. As a society we look down on teenagers raising babies.
Many people take one look at a teenage female who has a child and think the worst right off the bat.
They think that the girl slept around and that she acted irresponsible. But a closer look may show that the girl is dealing with the consequences that come along with having sex. Having a child while you are a child can be a very difficult thing and when society looks down upon it, it makes it much harder. I find teenage parents to be some of the bravest people. I have great respect for.
