=Teen Pregnancy = Do you know that one in three teen girls in the United States is estimated to get pregnant at least once before age 20 (LOGICAL FALLACIES) Zatrina- agreed because there is no proof. ? While this is better than a decade ago, when the number was four in ten girls, it is still too high (JUDGMENT) kayla - i agree with this because there is no proof to fall back on,  DENISE- i agree with both denise abbi and kayla on this one .  Pregnancy has very important consequences for teen girls and teen boys, and their children (INFERENCES) . Having a baby as a teen makes it much harder for a boy or girl to reach their goals, such as finishing high school, going on to college, getting a good job, or getting married when they grow up, and poses additional challenges to the child as well (LOGICAL FALLACIES) DENISE- i agree with this, and with abbi. but some people think having a baby is a blessing, some parents can take care of the child and children can still live their lives and be happy, if not happier .  If a teen girl finds out she is pregnants, she and her parents, and the father of the baby and his parents have some tough decisions to make (REPORTS)kayla - i believe this is a logical fallacies because it makes sense but there is no form of formal report or statistics.  None of them are easy: > > > <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Teen pregnancy also can be hard on teen fathers <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (JUDGMENT) <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #2b1818; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> Denise- this can be hard on anyone, or easy for some also <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. The pregnancy can strain their relationships with their girlfriend and with their parents <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(LOGICAL FALLACIES) <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #3f2c2c; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Denise- i believe this is bias because some parents cant wait for their child to have a kid and sometimes it can make their relationship stronger <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. And teen fathers do not go as far in school and make less money when they get in the job market than teens who do not father children <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(JUDGMENT) Kayla - i agree this is a judgment because there is no proof and it is so generalized and just an opinion not a fact <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Even though they are young, they have to face up to adult responsibilities like supporting the mother emotionally and financially during her pregnancy and helping to raise their child <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (BIAS) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. They are financially responsible for their children until their children turn 18 <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (REPORTS) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Once a girl is pregnant, there is no easy choice <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (JUDGMENT) Brianne- i agree with this because there could be people that already have there minds made up that if they were to get pregnet they would keep it or they wouldnt( people that are prepared in advance) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. The very best thing is to help your son or daughter avoid getting pregnant, or getting someone pregnant, in the first place <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(INFERENCES) <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #2e1919; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Denise- They should educate them on the pros and con <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">s kayla - i agree because they can weigh our their options, obviously bad outweighing good at a younger age Brianne- i agree because if there educated they will have a better understanding about the situation <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">.
 * <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Some teen mothers decide to continue their pregnancy and then choose adoption for their baby <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (BIAS) <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #2a1d1d; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> denise- agree Brianne- i also agree with this <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Adoption may be the best choice for the baby and the teen parents <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(BIAS) kayla - i believe this is a judgement because it is the authors opinon of what they believe <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. There are many adoption agencies and types of adoption <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(INFERENCES) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Some teens are able to meet the parents who wish to adopt the baby <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(REPORTS) Zatrina- Judgement becuase some adoptive parenst do not let the baby n the mother keep in contact Brianne- i agree with trina on this one because there are a lot of parents that when they adopt dont like the real mother coming around <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">.
 * <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Many teens decide to keep their babies <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (JUDGMENT) <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #1e1a1a; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Denise - i agree, where did they find this out? <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Some marry the baby’s father and raise their baby together <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(JUDGMENT) kayla - i believe this is a logical fallacies because some mothers do go on to marry their babys father, but not all, <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #322a2a; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Denise- some mothers dont even know who the father is <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Sometimes the baby's grandparents or other family members help raise it so that the teen mother can stay in school and work <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;">(INFERENCE) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. But it requires a lot of additional hard work for a teen parent to finish school and get a good job <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (LOGICAL FALLACIES) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Children of teen mothers face greater risk of poverty, behavioral problems, poor academic performance, incarceration, and teen pregnancy, so good parenting skills are very important <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (LOGICAL FALLACIES) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">.
 * <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Some teen pregnancies end in abortion <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (REPORTS) kayla - this is a logical fallacies because it does happen in a lot of cases but there is no proof to back up this statement <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. Abortions can have complications <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (LOGICAL FALLACIES)kayla - I believe this is a report because it is a well known fact that there are many complications that can come from an abortion Denise- i agree with kaylas theory. <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> There may be emotional consequences, as well: some women say that they feel sad and some use more alcohol or drugs than before <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (BIAS) <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">., Some states require teens to have their parent's permission to get an abortion <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (LOGICAL FALLACIES) <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #241e1e; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Denise- is this depending on the age of the person <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">. To understand the scope of this situation, consider these numbers: In 2002, there were over 750,000 teen pregnancies in the United States, including over 215,000 teen abortions <span style="background-color: #007eff; color: #00ff00; font-family: Georgia,serif;"> (BIAS) kayla - i believe this is a report because it involved statistics Zatrina- agree with Kayla <span style="background-color: #ff009d; font-family: Georgia,serif;">.
