Review: Plan B - Charnan Simon

The Issue of Teenage Pregnancy is such a big topic that is happening more and more than it had in the past, talking with my sister the other day we were discussing her friend whose 21 and has 3 children already and is pregnant with another and alot of the people I use to hang around with at school and know those who are my age and younger all are saddled with kids. Though being saddled with kids isn't a bad thing if done properly as I can't wait till I become a mother at the right time, but unfortunately as we are about to discover some of us don't have the opportunity to wait for what may seem like the right time.
