In fact teen pregnancies increasingly on the rise.The concept of childhood is literally being wiped out.


Are we stealing the innocent of childhood from our children?


Do we have any solutions for this?

Totally agreed. We are. When I was in Gr.7, I was this little girl with my little friends and had fun playing hide and seek in the interval time. Nowadays Gr.7 girls, they behave like they've seen everything in this world. I don't get it.
Childhood is something to be enjoyed. If I get a chance I'd love to go back to my childhood.

Kids these days, they've too many resources and they gain knowledge of things they're not supposed to too early.
The reason for teen pregnancies though is that they lack proper guidance. They think they know everything. But what they don't know is they're absorbing everything the media shows them, not what life teaches them.
