Way too many teen mothers in small towns

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

I’d like to talk to readers about high school dropouts.

It is hard to be a teen mother – I myself am one – but maybe if the government targets the problem head on it would really make a difference.

The only thing I learned about sex in school is that it’s bad and I should wait until I’m old enough.

As I look at the small towns, the number of teen moms is escalating. Most of their first-borns are adopted. I myself went through that and it would really help if parents talked to their kids about it.

In my town 14-year-old girls are getting pregnant. The fathers are still in school or even dropouts. That’s a big problem. I’m just sharing what I see in my town thanks for your readers.
