Pregnant cover model on a teen mag? That alone is depressing. Hopefully the magazine doesn’t glamorize the pregnancy. It’s a great outlet to promote real information about serious consequences like pregnancy. Your readers will be paying attention. Use it wisely.

Why is a Vogue allowing the pregnant teenager to remain on the cover depressing? I think it shows alot about how far our society has come in dealing with real life situations. I highly doubt they would glamorize teen pregnancy but it is real and it’s not smart to try and act like it doesn’t or cover it up. Good job teen vogue!

I think this only glamorizes an already bad issue - teen pregnancy. I do not think Vogue should have went on with the publication once knowing. There should be clauses against this instances such as this.

Why is this even a story? 19 years old is legally an adult. Readers with average age of 18 again age of adult. So are you saying my sister who got married at age 18 and had her first kid at 19 was a teen pregnancy? Get real I think so called teen pregnancy stats should end at the 18th birthday, after that they are adult pregnancies.

I think this is alright although it does have a huge impact on teens….I am hoping it don’t send out the wrong message meaning that it is okay to get pregnant and you can still be a model? This young woman is an adult but I think alot of younger readers will take it wrong and act as if it is okay to be a pregnant teen and you can still accomplish your dreams which we all know is really far fetched, This girl/teen was just verly LUCKY they didn’t know at the time. I wonder if they had known would she still have been on the cover?

Just wait until after she has the baby and talk to her when he/she is two.

I think it’s more appropriate for it to be an article in the magazine, focusing on how the reality of teen parenthood rather than glamorizing it with a cover pic. And yes, you are still a teenager at nineTEEN regardless. It’s only an issue because it’s in a teen mag…nobody would care otherwise.

I don’t think it takes a model or someone famous to turn a young girls head into thinking pregnancy at that age is glamorizing. We need to give young woman more credit. And I do agree at the age of 18, it isn’t a teen pregnancy this is a grown young woman.

19 is considered grown, when you start a career you should wait until you have aleast five years in the businessbefore you start a family but she has the looks and i am sure the baby is fathered by someone with money because money attrack money

Everyone (except the young people) knows that it’s better to wait and have children. But, it is what it is. If she was qualified to be on the cover, let her. She’s going to need the income to raise her child as a single parent. Good Luck.

How could u people judge her she has parents too and she is a legal age to make her own decisions this will teach her it is not easy raising a baby but I’m sure she will hire a nanny they always do they don’t know what real parenting is !!!

Wow Puritan - way to judge someone you don’t even know! She’s 19 - technically an adult! Why is everyone assuming she’s going to be a single parent? Yes, she’s younger but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a father (maybe even a husband). To say “money attrack money” makes no sense - who cares if the father has money? I’m not sure Teen Vogue needs to feature her on the cover (has anyone even seen the cover?) maybe it says something to the effect that she’s going to struggle but she’ll make it. I wasn’t a teen mom but I don’t judge - what some might think is a mistake might turn out to be the best gift of their life. Give the girl and the magazine some slack until you read the full article.
