Births Outside of Marriage!



In the article, "For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage” they are talking about young others having children without being married. According to the article "Among mothers of all ages, a majority 59% in 2009 are married when they have children. But the surge of births outside marriage among younger women nearly two-thirds of children in the United States are born to mothers under 30.
The article also says that Researchers have found that children born outside marriage face elevated risks of falling into poverty, Failing in school o suffering emotional and behavioral problems.
I believe that this I not true! Just because a child was born with parents that were not married means that they will face poverty, Behavior problems and failing in school. It doesn’t matter if their parents are married or not! How does that determine how they will be in the future! They determine there future by there on actions! No I do not believe that it should even matter if kids have married parents or not! A ring on someone’s finger doesn’t make a family any different. Even if they are married, people still get divorced! No I don’t think it’s a good thing that more people are having their children outside of marriage but I really don’t matter to me. My mom and dad have been together for 12 years before they got married. It didn’t change my family or me at all at all.
According to the article, 73 percent of black children are born outside marriage, compared with 53 percent of Latinos and 29 percent of whites. In my opinion, I don’t believe that this is true. I think that most people always are putting the blame on black people making it seem like we do everything wrong! What is the difference between a couple and a married couple. On The TV show teen mom, there are a lot of moms that have children without being married. And they were all white!
I believe that the reason why most people don’t get married before having a child is because they are too young and afraid of commitment.
