“My art piece means to spread awareness about pregnancy and the hard decisions that come along with it. Pregnant women have many options but they feel pressured by their peers to make the “right” decision. Teen pregnancy is increasing and pregnant teens feel scared and judged. They want to produce a strong environment for their child, and they worry about graduation, finances, support from their families… I want my piece to be a reminder that pregnancy is hard and requires a supportive environment.”
