"Teenage Pregnancy" Prevention is the only cure.
Kids having kids, that’s the problem.
We need to shed light on this matter.
If a girl you know begins to dress “baggy”
Don’t assume that she’s just getting “fatter”.
Some kids have nowhere to turn.
“Don’t communicate” is what they will learn.
If they pretend that nothing is wrong,
Then out pops a baby before long.
Oh, they’ll experiment. That’s for sure.
Tell them it's nice to keep themselves "pure".
So, before they go out and get themselves “caught”
Birth control is what teens should be taught….
(abstinence!!!)
Ignorance doesn’t pay off in the end.
A negative message is what you will send.
If you do not talk to someone you care for,
Lives could change. Be the same no more.
If you don’t want to be called “Mom” or “Dad”
Before you finish high school,
Admit that teenage pregancy’s a bummer and
It definitely isn’t “cool”.
If you can’t talk to your parents
There’s gotta be an adult you can trust.
Talk to them about your situation
Or, tell your partner, “Sex isn’t a MUST”.
Please, think about the outcome
and the situation at hand.
To get a girl pregnant isn’t hard
And it won’t turn you into a MAN.
Pregnancy creates life.
Life is a precious gift.
That little life is a person.
Let them down….they‘ll be miffed!
They’ll have to grow up with you as their role model
Someone to look up to.
Will they be proud of their parents?
Will they admire you?
You’ll have to buy them their clothing
And have to get them their food.
Will you be able to handle it….
whenever they’re in a bad mood?
You will have to protect them.
You’ll have to start living right.
You’ll have to let them know they’re safe
When you tuck them in at night.
Your parents aren’t “built-in” sitters.
So let's think of another solution.
Hey, I know!! Here’s an idea
Though, it's not a great substitution:
Quit school. Get a job that pays minimum wage
(because of your lack of education and youthful age).
Barely get by for the next twenty two years of your life
and explain to your kids how you became Daddy’s wife.
You won’t be able to afford getting them “cool” clothes
And you’ll be buying them dorky, cheap shoes.
They’ll be picked on by others.
It will be your fault because
all that you had to say to your partner was,
“No. I’m not ready for that kind of a commitment.
If you love me, you’ll understand.”
