    The young girl, cradled the positive pregnancy test, with tears welling up in her
eyes.  This is becoming a common event across the country. Both sides of how to handle it from
this point on; weather abortion or adoption, wish she didn’t have chose. Teen
pregnancy is a huge Public affair, and how to handle it is very controversial. Contraceptives
being accessible at public schools are one idea; some people think that would help and another
side that says no way.
     Did you know that 3 out of every ten girls will get pregnant once by the time she is
twenty? Out of These pregnancies 19% end in abortion. That’s over 700,000 pregnancies every
year. Out of those women who become pregnant are 50% are more likely to repeat a grade and
not graduate.  Out of those same women, 2% don’t get a degree by the age of 30. Government
welfare and AFDC is used on almost 80% of these women. The future of these children is
compromised. Eight out of 10 fathers don’t stay with the children. Those children are 5 times
more likely to be poor and the daughters are 3 times more likely to repeat being a young
mother. Sons are 2 times as likely to end up in jail; while these facts are undeniable shocking,
and very informative. Only a few schools have chosen to engage to provide kids with a form of
birth control,." Stay Teen | Stay Informed.  Web. 19 June 2014."
New York City in 2010, Port Richmond High School has managed to drop there
pregnancy rates by 27%; that’s a whopping 189,000 less pregnancies just by adding/ expanding
their accessibility to contraceptives,says "Tara Culp-Ressler. Jezebel.Web. 19 June 2014". A common One is condoms and a pill called plan B witch is
over the counter and highly effective if taken within 72 hours of nu-protective sex .
Many parents are shocked and stunned at the mere idea of giving kids in high school
and Jr. High condoms or any other form of birth control. "School Condom Availability. Web. 19 June 2014". Rightfully so, Public schools are taxed
paid. The average family pays a minimal of 6,000 dollars a year in taxes," Pgpf.org.Web. 30 June 2014." That’s a good pocket
full of money that they may not want to be funding teens to get there birth control; they argue
that it’s their parents job to pay for it . Religious leaders of churches say that making it available
will make a dramatic increase that kids become sexually active.
            Teens are likely to think that having birth control, reduces the chance of having a STD.
HPV and Herpes, which you can get just from sexual contact can cause cancer and blisters.." Student Health Services.  Web. 19 June 2014."  Not
to mention the side effects of pills and other forms of birth control. Such as dizziness, weight
gain, nausea, headache, mood swings, allergic reaction, and blood clots, "Health.com. Web. 23 June 2014".
    Crazy, this world is getting crazier by the year. Sex is everywhere in media and
advertising; I hope we, as a country can figure out something to do about this problem
very soon; so we have less of that poor girl crying and more healthy active teens.
