ARE YOU SLEEPING AROUND?

Some good reasons not to be a teenager and pregnant
Advice from other teens who got pregnant:
“Wait until you are older!”

Here are 7 top reasons.
1. Your parents won’t be mad

 How would your parents feel if they found out you were pregnant?
 Will your parents be happy, mad or disappointed?
 Would you want them to?

2. You can finish school

If you get pregnant now, you may drop out of school and may never finish schooling.
Only few teen parents are able to finish school.

3. You will have choices about your future.

Do you want to be a doctor, lawyer, and teacher or set up your own business?
It will be easier to make those choices if you don’t get pregnant and drop out of school.
You will have time to go travel, go to college and decide who you want to be.

4. You will have money

Teenagers who get pregnant often drop out of school, have no certificate, do menial jobs and thus earn less.
Only 32% of guys age 16 to 25 earn enough to take care of a family of three.
These facts mean that you have a very high chance of living in poverty.

5. You can have your dream house, car or career

If you get pregnant and have a child, he/she will have to come first in every decision.
If you don’t get pregnant, you may finish college and be able to buy your dream car or house or even build a mansion.

6. You will be sure that your partner is who you really want.

Teenagers who wait till they are older are likely to have happy marriages.

7. You will have time to be a teen.

Are you ready to be a teen parent and encounter problems or you will wait till you grow up? We hope you make the right choice.
