Abortion PillHas your teenage daughter lately shown signs such as increased weight, headaches, mood swings, menstrual irregularities, dizziness or nausea? These are amongst some of the minor side effects of taking the contraceptive known as The Pill.
Perhaps the doctor has prescribed the oral contraceptive to relieve her period pain or improve her skin and it is taken primarily as a medication for these complaints. However more doctors are comfortable about the medication for teenagers because of the breakdown in restraint of all kinds in the community and the likelihood that a teenage girl will already be experiencing sexual activity. The Pill is therefore considered by the doctor 'as a precaution.'
Although surveys show that many women have taken it for many years, even from the age of 12, and often without any serious side effects, it is usually only a matter of time before there is a potential development of severe health disturbances. These include heart disease, stroke, depression, headaches, infertility, thrombosis, cancer and breast cancer in particular. It is a serious medical issue of our times. Many consider the so called benefits of oral contraceptives are beginning to be outweighed by the demonstration that extreme health problems, in particular mental conditions and cancer, are a direct result of the birth control pill.
Most teenagers have a short term perception of a future and cannot consider that anything negative will develop from anything that they choose to undertake or become involved with. Very few of them have the wisdom to use restraint therefore, and are easy prey to the temptations offered by their peers. This seems to be most commonly in matters of drugs and sexual experimentation.
Therefore it is a difficult argument to try to use in getting them to change, if your feel that their behavior is in error. However in the serious matters related to health and to sexual activity, there must be strong encouragement from the home front to counter the pull of peer pressure that entices them to venture prematurely into the hazardous area that by nature is designed to produce babies.
A teenager with a baby is not the ideal situation, although it may happen often enough. The main thing is surely to be observant but not threatening in your caring of your daughters and in learning the wisdom how to approach your sons so that both become responsible adults.
Good luck!
