Who would imagine kids raising kids, it’s ridiculous right? I see so many teenage girls walking around my high school with round bellies and no baby daddies, probably because don’t know who it is but that’s besides the point. On the movie Mean Girls the P.E teacher was teaching sex education telling the students that “ if you have sex you will get pregnant and die” wish girls took that seriously. I just have a problem with teen pregnancy because it has become something that the media is covering and makes movies and TV shows out of it. Teens are just calling up their parents saying “Hey Mom, i’m getting pregnant to be the next teen mom!” As a 17 year-old girl I want to remain skinny and looking forward to my future, Girls are jumping to become

This book talks about two males that could have ended up with the same fate only if there had not been any assistance to guide one of them on a different path. It is evident that our environment is an essential factor in how we adapt and attain the life that we live. With limited resources, our youth has become a statistic of their environments. As these generations continuously extend, minorities have become the target of a huge issue such as teen pregnancy.
A big conflict in the story is if they should turn themselves in or not.

The way it is resolved is that they don 't follow through on turning themselves into the police because johnny got hurt. Then they were talking about in the news and the cops came to investigate.
“I’m so fat, why can’t I be skinny just like her!” “How does she get the perfect body, while I’m stuck with all of this fat!” These statements are common among teenage girls of today’s society.

Movie Summary: In the movie Mean Girls, Cady Heron is experiencing her first year in school despite being 16 because her parents are research zoologists and homeschooled all her life since they were in Africa on an assignment. Consequently, she had very little contact with people her age let alone western culture and was not aware of the dealings of high school or adolescence in general.

right and I feel like there were ways to prevent these situations. When I see teen moms in public, I get angry. It just makes me mad, but then I encountered a friend of mine that was pregnant. She wasn’t a teenager, she was twenty years old when she confided in me that she was pregnant.
High school is a common source in which inspires and spreads trends similar to the comparison described by Baird, “Toasting to high school and survival, complementing each other’s thigh gaps.” (3-4) Baird compares high school to survival to highlight the teenager’s motivation to take certain measures to achieve social expectations in order to survive in today’s society.

Society promotes these unnecessary trends by providing tips of how to get skinny and suggesting that losing weight is a solution to everything. This compels teenagers to practice ridiculous methods by starving themselves, using waist trainers or even wrapping their thighs.

Eating disorders are very common in teenagers especially girls as popular culture is inclined to portray being thin as how all young girls should be.(mayoclinic 1998-2016) even if they are thin they can still believe they are fat and this can lead to them being obsessed with their weight.
