Teen Moms/Parents

A sterotypes that I often hear that teenage girls will get pregnant at a young age. This stereotype is mostly the Hispanic and Latino community. I myself being Mexican I hear it a lot and it really makes me mad. My mom got pregnant at age 16 with my older sister cristal. She gave birth to her a week after her 17th birthday. A year later she had gotten pregnant with my sister karen. By the age of 19 she had already has two kids. The other day I read this thing that said "Young girls who's mother had them young are more likely to have kids at a young age as well ". What is that suppose to mean to me? I have two older sisters and their already in their 20s and they don't have kids and their actually going to collage. Which then makes me think that isn't always true about everyone. Maybe teenage girls wouldn't be getting pregnant if people aren't always throwing negative things towards them about getting pregnant. There are so many ways to prevent teen pregnancy.So why don't do that? I know this may sound weird but when I grow I wanna I think I would actually give my child boy or girl condoms to protect themselves.I mean I'm not asking them to actually do it but I'm just saying I rather have my child use protection than get pregnant or get someone pregnant or get and STD.Although I wouldn't be one of those parents who are mortified of their children and their actions . We can prevent teen pregnancy and we should.But we also shouldn't criticize others.
