Although what Jermey and China did was extremely foolish and sickened me, Boyle showed me how such an event could occur. If i ever heard about a baby being thrown into a dumpster i would automatically assume it was done by druggies, psycho people, or very abusive people. This story displayed how it could be done by two "normal" people.
The actions these two teens were still not correct in any way. I don't believe they were exactly condemned by their peers. Teen pregnancy is very common in our generation. They have shows dazzling teen pregnancy all over the television. Yes, it is a burden and could possible mess up China and Jeremy's life, but if they had the decency to tell someone, anyone, than they could get help. There are so many possibilities and opportunities that can come out of unplanned pregnancy. For example, they could give the baby up for adoption; a loving women who is unable to have children could finally become a mother. They could keep the baby and find that they love being parents and could end up working hard to still be able to finish their schooling. Even going to the doctor and having a safe abortion would be a better decision than what they chose. Talking to someone would have given them guidance and take some of the burden off of their shoulders. It is true that it would be embarrassing having a kid in college, but it is even more embarrassing to be that random crazy girl. If they had talked to their parents, a doctor, or even a friend, they would be able to get it out of their minds and keep themselves from going insane. I understand they were very scared, but they are very bright teens and should have done the responsible thing.
