Who is to be blamed in Teenage Pregnancy?

One of the problems of our society today is teenage pregnancy. Who is to be blamed?. What is their reason for engaging in premarital-sex? Teenage pregnancy is not new for many of us. We have seen news about this, heard about it over the radio, read about it in the internet, and even knew some friends of ours who are pregnant in a very young age. They say having a baby is a blessing from the Lord, and I totally agree with that. But, is right timing not important?.

TREAT THEM PROPERLY NOT WRONGLY

Do you think a child will be fed by a below-18-yearold mother and father?. Are they emotionally and financially ready to raise a child?. Getting a Grade above 90 is a struggle for most of us, what do you think of rearing a delicate baby?. For some, they have their reasons. Its case basis as they reason it out.;Lasing kasi ako. Why drink alcohol at your age ?. Most teenagers drink alcohol because they think their parents have no time for them.

EARLY PREGNANCY SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN

Everytime they see their mother argued for so many reasons. And now theyre blaming their parents for what they did. But clearly they did it without anyone asking them to do it. But, why do you think a parent will get mad of his/her child? Maybe because she is not helping inside the house. May because shes always late going home. I don t think there is a parent whos angry with his child because of no valid reason at all.

They want their children to be matured and learn from it. In the end, a mother is always there ready to help them.

MAKE A GIRL PLEASANT NOT PREGNANT

Even in times of her daughters pregnancy. The reason for being pregnant is upon your own choicem its your own decision. You cant blame anybody. Having a romantic relationship with someone is not a game. It is not easy as how you cheat with your assignment. You need to think it over hundred times before you decide. You should consider that once you got pregnant, especially at young age, your parents will also be responsible for it.

STOP TEENAGE PREGNANCY

Anti-selfie bill gets dislike

Taking photos of ene’s self is the thing now. One shot here, one shot there, post it everywhere. People seem to enjoy this act, no matter how self-centered it seems. So when House Bill 4807, otherwise known as Protection Against Personal Intrusion Act, has been entered for discussion for possible passage as a law, many eyebrows were raised HB 4807, once turned into a law, simply states that, taking a “seliie” will no longer be an innocent and spontaneous gesture. Those who make a habit of hashing their cameras and posting it in social media, whether or not to brag about their godly appearances, will have serious repercussions. Looking through the bill, it has its complete title of “An Act protecting against personal intrusion by any person with intent to gain or profit therefrom",

The profit which is touched in here is not limited to monetary figures but may expand to other forms of gain. In any case that this bill gets enacted, no person Will be allowed to post photos, Videos or voice clippings of other people without going through a serious line of security measures to determine the factuality of the thing being posted. In short, our Facebook walls nor our Instagram pages Will not be tilled With photos anymore.

This is a boringly threatening idea. Dislike buttons are pushed for this bill. In a technologically-savvy society where the culture of sharing every bit of the day’s experience is present, the bill ends the freedom and the happiness of keeping everyone posted of our lives.

This bill should remain an illusion, should never be passed to an act.

Whyspend people’s taxes over scrutinizing this innocent not hurting aspect of life rather than focusmg on the country’s bigger issues? Put this bill away of the spotlight. Focus your lawful cameraas and watchful eyes on the more serious dilemmas such as transportation, education and poverty and let the common people take their selfles.
