Marriage and parenthood used to be the primary goal in in a young girl's life , but today education and a career take that goal.
Although teenage pregnancy is still a problem more people are aware of it and people are starting to take action.
When a teenager becomes pregnant it sets their lives back by a few years, and most teenagers these days care about their futures and what they are going to do with their lives so they dont want something like a pregnant teen to ruin that for them.
Shows like 16 and pregnant are promoting teenage pregnancy which is not what we need. Our society needs to focus on the future and the importance in our young peoples lives instead of promoting things like teenage pregnancy.
