The quote shows her naive nature as the education on teen pregnancy does not seem evident, but instead the words of her parents and those unaffected by teen pregnancy and taken in and believed. Her view on pregnancy, of course, can be attributed to why she never told her parents or anyone that she was pregnant. Now she appears as a hypocrite as she is the one who is a

Teen pregnancy is a very controversial social issue and the vast majority of Americans consider the outrageous rate of teen pregnancies a severe issue, certainly a problematic occurrence that is believed to be a moral decline in our country.
