Teen pregnancy, after a decline in recent years, is on the rise again. The media saturation of all things teen pregnancy related (Jamie Lynn Spears and the teen pregnancy pact in Massachusetts) would lead most adults to believe teen pregnancy is an epidemic. Teen pregnancy does exist but, as with most things the media tries to scare us with, it is not as widespread as we are lead to believe. However, the problems of teenagers having babies should be addressed. In this New York Times article one teen mom details her life after baby and offers words of wisdom for other girls.
