NOW WHAT?
By Nafijur Dalim, 18, Staff Writer, and Joyce Canela, 18, Staff Writer
Nafijur: Hey, Joyce!
Joyce: Hey, Naf! Lets talks about this issues stories.
Nafijur: Yes! This issue is all about pregnancy options! We have
feature stories about the decision to become a teen parent, to
arrange an adoption and a personal account of a teens decision
to have an abortion.
Joyce: One of the stories that resonated with me the most is
Elisas story on her decision to end her pregnancy and wait until
the time was right to start a family. Its a very moving piece!
Nafijur: Yeah, I really liked that one too! Personally, I gained
a lot of respect for teen parents after reading Imans feature
story about teens that chose to become parents. It reveals the
perspectives of the teen parents, which we rarely ever get to hear
about.
