Do you think the cutesy term the media uses “baby bump” encourages teenage pregnancy?
I think the media glamorizes pregnancy with this cutesy term. They splash pictures of unmarried pregnant celebrities all over magazine covers and news articles displaying their cute “baby bump”. I think it makes their pregnancy seem like a cute accessory. Where are all of the articles about the CARE of the little ones. Wasn’t Britney cute with her “baby bumps”? Now look at those poor children. No wonder teenage pregnancy is on the rise.
I guess I should stop taking my children to the grocery store or the drug store because of the magazine covers blaring “baby bumps” No one blamed the media…I feel it encourages it though. It’s the new fashion accessory.
Teenage pregnancy is on the rise because the media glamorizes sex in general, and parents are too lazy to care.
I see what you mean about the “cutesy” terms though. The media does make it seem like everything is fine and dandy. Look at the movie, Juno…
