Kylesha Carson
16 and pregnant. Usual teen with big dreams. Kylesha loved sports especially, basketball but that all had to be put on hold when she found out she was pregnant. " I wasn't ready but shit happens so I have to deal with it and I'm going to be the best mother for my son", Kylesha said. She knows its going to be hard but she's not giving up, she can't give up. She's going to succeed for her son, herself, and for the people or tried to distract and discourage her.
Amanda Wright
17 and Pregnant; "In my life it hasn't ruined anything but if I could turn back the clock I would. I cant go out, i cant go away to a university, I have to deal with adult issues way beyond my maturity level, I am still in a relationship but I find it hard to accept that we have moved on from having fun and going out now we have to be adults and realize there is more than us now. I have had a lot of emotional problems throughout this pregnancy for example telling my parents it took my mum around 3 months to come to terms with it and I even considered an abortion and i didn't think i could live with myself. My body is completely different I have a belly and huge boobs i have had hemorrhoids as well. Its a very hard thing to deal with and i would encourage anyone out there to use birth control. This time last year I was out with my friends doing well at school choosing universities spending time with my boyfriend I know can do this again but I will be responsible for some one else I don't come first anymore". Said Amanda
Briana Rodriguez
16 and pregnant. Briana was in love with her boyfriend, so she thought. They planned to have the baby but as Briana got father and farther into her pregnancy the more complications she began to have. She began to fall behind in school and her and her boyfriend were having problems. When the baby got here it was worst. The boyfriend left and she was living with her aunt who had her own kids to look after. Briana was forced to look for a job shortly after she had her daughter. She said "It was so hard, I thought i was ready but I was young and dumb. I should have listened to my moma. My daughter made me grow up and reality sunk in quick".

My name is Asia Williams, I am a Sophomore in high school. Teen pregnancy is everywhere at my school. My closest friend is young and pregnant. A lot of people who aren't in they're predictiment speak on what they would have done or what they do in order to not be pregnant but no one can really say what they can or will do until it actually happens to them. These main three teens i spoke about today know they life will changed or has changed drastically but shit happens and they won't let that stop them on improve.
