text: homework help!  reasons to not have a child as a teen? hey. my dumbas$ coach is making me do a 5 page paper on reasons not to have a child as a teen. so if you can help me put a dent in this bullshi† ill give you the pts. #1 teens can't get high paying jobs #2 it makes getting an education harder #3 most teens can't afford children and put the burden on their parents who didn't ask to have another child #4 children should not be having children #5 children should be given the best chance possible to make it in this world, so you're doing them an injustice by already giving them a handicap #6 you're giving away some of the best times in your life #7 if you have sex and aren't safe, why would you think you're responsible enough to have a child?
