The Decision

in life-decision •  7 years ago 

Although there are many contraceptive methods in the world which are available to all, unwanted pregnancies or teenage pregnancies continue to increase, which leads to the existence of more single mothers.

Currently due to the lack of sexual education with which adolescence counts, this situation has increased to a great extent.

Adolescence is a period of transition, a stage of the growth cycle that marks the end of childhood and announces adulthood, the term is generally used to refer to a person between 13 and 19 years of age.

For many young people, adolescence is a period of uncertainty and even despair; for others, it is a stage of internal friendships, loosening ties with parents, and dreams about the future.

In the home of one of the parents and with his girlfriend or boyfriend, a good part of the boys and girls starts sexually when he is averaging 15 years.

So we can see that teenage pregnancy is the product of a scarce and insufficient information and sexual education, so it is very important that the adolescent knows everything related to sex.

Having sex without the necessary education leads to unwanted pregnancies and dysfunctional homes so the essence of the family is lost, leaving the families of single mothers.

OPTIONS

When the adolescent becomes pregnant, she initiates a complex decision-making process and, until she decides on one, abortion always appears as a more theoretical than real assumption.

The decision is in the hands of those who decide to be a single mother or abort their child and not give them the opportunity to live.

ABORTION

To delve a little deeper into the subject, let's see what abortion is: Abortion is the death of a child in the mother's womb produced during any stage of the stage from fertilization (union of the ovule with the sperm) until the moment before birth. There is talk of spontaneous abortion when the death is the product of some anomaly or dysfunction not foreseen or desired by the mother; and of induced abortion (which is what is usually understood when one speaks simply of abortion) when the death of the baby is attempted in any way: domestic, chemical or surgical.

Abortion advocates have tried to cover their criminal nature by confusing or evasive terminology, concealing the murder with jargon as "voluntary termination of pregnancy" or under concepts such as "right to decide" or "right to reproductive health". None of these language devices, however, can hide the fact that abortion is infanticide.

Many women prefer to undergo an illegal abortion than to pay the price of being single mothers. Because single mothers have historically been denigrated and humiliated. At present, this attitude is maintained by ignorant people.

SINGLE MOTHER

A study shows that single mothers multiply their strength of character, become more mature, intelligent, persevering, learn to value life, defend important things and acquire a greater capacity to love. The single mother should be congratulated for her courage and her son should feel grateful.

When a woman decides to have an abortion, she does not intend to avoid suffering her son but to avoid it for herself. Most abortions are performed between the sixth and twelfth weeks of pregnancy. When the fetus is removed, it usually struggles to survive for two or three hours, and it often happens that the "doctor" chokes it for use in studies or experiments.

One of the many stories heard tells us that when she was 17 she was going to enter university and discovered that she was pregnant, she had to choose between undergoing an illegal abortion and risking death, or being a single mother in a society where the Family honor comes to be above the lives of the daughters.

"If my parents had known I had sex, they would have killed me," she says two years later, still trembling when she remembered that she decided to end her pregnancy in the greatest secrecy without even telling her boyfriend at the time.

Doctors recognize that cases like the previous one have increased in recent years, although premarital sex is still unacceptable, and there are no figures for abortions performed, because there is officially no voluntary termination of pregnancy.

Although there is no official position on sex education, in medical circles they recognize that it should improve to inculcate young women that abortion is not a contraceptive method and warn them of the risk of abortion.

It has been proven that more than 60% of women who choose abortion as a solution to their "problem" are left with low self-esteem and in addition to this they are a failure in every way throughout their lives.

RECOMMENDATION

I will advice that you think about what you want to do before making a decision; since your decision will change the rest of your life. It is recommended that you talk to your parents because they will give you the support and a better advise on what decision to take.

My friend ... Do not forget that before you abort you have the option to give your baby up for adoption.

Thank you.

Yes....shame is the major obstacle we have especially with the parents.

Thank you for your regular contribution on my blog.

i like your post ^^ I miss some of them, but when i find them i read all with plaesure, you treat interesting topic ^^

Nice

I see what you are saying and this is very one-sided toward pro-life, but you must also look at the implications of banning abortion. I was always pro-life growing up. Now I'm pro-choice and not because I believe that life starts at a different point now, but because a life is not worth a detriment to society as a whole.

Women are very good at deciding when they are or are not ready to have a child. Lastly, why is adoption not listed here. That is an important option to consider as well.

Adoption was stated there i think you should read the post to the end. Thanks for your contribution.

Perhaps I should LOL

GOOD ARTICLE =) My opinion? don't have sex unless you are ready to face the snowball effects of it. Easy said than done right? holding the crazy emotions and needs is not easy, but possible. Plus, abortion is going to damage yr health.
SEX EDUCATION is important not only to prevent teenage pregnancies, but also to protect children from sexual harassment and abuse

Yes, adoption is a way better option...welldone @phunke

Nice post

Where important subject here. In Sweden there is not very common with teenage moms, but there is a very accepted use of abortion. I think your advice is very wise, to think it through and to talk with parents about the decision. I have a 14 year old daughter and I don't want her if she ever gets into this situation to just rush of and make an abortion without thinking through the alternativs.

I think there should be more sex education in schools to young people since parents here are not eager to do that. Probably, the possibilities of teenage pregnancy may reduce. Good article.

Sex education with abstinence as the main goal is the best option. Kids need to know that it's okay to not have sex before getting married. It doesn't have to be "cool" to have sex before you get married - that's a cultural thing. Adoption is the best option if a girl gets pregnant before getting married.

My children are growing up and going through the temptations that go along with teen years. We have been blessed so far to have 7 in their teens or 20's and no unwanted pregnancies so far. I am loathe to take credit for this, because I would not like to insinuate that families who do go through this difficult situation are faulty. I think we try hard, but sometimes the pressures that kids go through are so difficult. They want the physical pleasure. They want the relationship and affection that they believe sex will provide. They want to fit in... misery loves company. And while education is so key to helping prevent unwanted pregnancies and the cascade of issues that surround this, we need to understand that sexual activity in teens, even when it doesn't add the drama of pregnancy, can leave kids shattered. Even if they tell themselves that hooking up is just for fun and doesn't mean anything past the event... that rarely is the case. All too often, one of the participants has desires for long lasting intimacy, while the other might just be notching their belt. The pain of having shared themselves and then being left, as is often the case with young "love" is traumatic and can worsen one's already low self esteem or ability to trust. Sex is beautiful and fun, but a level of maturity lacking in most teens is ideal so that harm doesn't come. Even if someone has an abortion, that doesn't just "fix" things. There can be a lot of emotional stress and even long term issues when people find themselves in this kind of difficult situation. Best if everyone can wait and focus on other things until they're more capable of making informed decisions... but that won't happen.
