High Teen Pregnancy Rate Among African-American Girls - "Love Child" - A WRAL Documentary

They say the children of teenaged mothers. These kids don’t get pregnant on their own. So many put down these young women and just ignore the boys involved.

Not really, it's their mother insisting on having baby daddies instead of husbands or stable committed relationship. If a girl grows up with a father in the house the chance of teen pregnancy is greatly reduce.

Boys??!! Many of these are men. Teen girls and adult men. Let’s call then what it is peds and victims of grooming. They should be arrested

[@Twinkie989]

@@kiaramurray832 That's very true. I consider them boys because they surely don't act like men.

[@kingsolomon0]

Kid parents is a social problem that needs to be addressed , men should step up and do the right thing .

[@kiaramurray832]

I’m still stuck on the men who impregnated these teen girls. These girls were victimized by adult men. They should be arrested

That's the way it's supposed to be. Pregnant at 13 and 16 I may not approve of that but who am I to speak? The citizens of this country always been evaluated, experimented on, with the hopes of it being for the greater good. Be damned Freedom, liberty, and justice. She said she blames it on the parents, but it takes a village. How can you blame the parents when the parent is in the same plight? It is the citizen job to not only select who works in the government but to select the officials that select who works in the government. It is the media's job to promote transparency throughout the communities acknowledging good and bad behavior. It is but a three-fold cord.

There's no stigma for teen pregnancy in the black community. It's celebrated and treated like a planned pregnancy in marriage. Often it's not just one pregnancy but many before their early twenties. Lack of stigma, education, and generational normalizing are all factors. And not believing in abortion but believing in bringing a baby into poverty and ignorance might need rethinking.
