TEEN PREGNANCY
This Essay hopefully will open all of our eyes to Teen Pregnancy. It is a serious problem that we need to be paying more attention to. When I was 13 I had my first child, by 14 I had my second and by 15 I had twins. Being so young I did not want to go on Welfare, so when I was 15 I got my first job.
