What is your thought on pregnant teenagers?

its a good thing, instead of ur kids being out at parties getting chitfaced and sniffing lines off some strangers bathroom countertop she will be at home being responsible, one door opens another, how ironic/?What is your thought on pregnant teenagers?
use it!





SCHMEA!What is your thought on pregnant teenagers?
Personally, I had my son when i was 16 and i believe i'm a wonderful mother. Knowing how to be a good, knowledgable mother doesn't come with age, it comes with your maternal instincts and unfortunately, trial and error. Yes, I was never able to go off to college, but thats what community colleges and other local colleges are for. Yes I wasn't able to go out and party as the rest of my friends, but i had a bigger, more important responsibility who is my heart and soul. I grew up the moment i decided to keep my son and not give him up for adoption just because i wanted a few years to party.


I have a job and I work to provide for my family (which by the way, his biological father ISNT around and i dont recieve any help).


Teen moms need to get more credit than what ive seen on here. There are some young moms who are better than those 10 years older than them. So before you judge someone on their age and being a mommy, you should find out how WHO they are as a person, not the sterotypical teen mother that seems to be percieved.
well it depends on the teenager i wouldnt suggest that teens go out and get pregnant but i know a couple of women who had there children at 16 and 17 and they are wonderful parents i have also met women in there 30's who were awful mothers so it just depends on the person are u a pregnant teen? im just wondering y you are asking...
That it is their life. Society does not know the circumstances of each individual who are pregnant in their teens, therefore society does not have the right to judge them.


God bless.
Just so everyone knows not all teens go out and party not all teen have to be at the mall on weekends..


Some can be responsible and can take care of themselves.


Also things happen, teens get raped, pressured and things of that nature. And some of those cant bare the thought of abortion or giving up what has grown inside them for nine monthes up.


And yes some are just little whores who need a lesson or three about ';safe sex'; or no sex.. but stop to think about the strong ones who cant help it or want to keep it cause not matter the father its still theirs
its dangerous i had a friend who got pregnant at 15 her body wasn't quite ready for it and bad things happened i'm not saying it's a horrible thing i just worry what can happen to the mother and baby
watch juno then u will think twice before gettin pregnant i love that movie if ur young or old it dont matter as long as you can take care of the child if ur old enough to have unprotected sex then ur old enought to take care of a child
Kids aint no joke so wrap it up before you poke. in my humble opinion
With no offences intended! Teenagers are still kids.. Meaning you still want to play around go partying, have fun and for a time you can't do that with a baby... and having a baby takes your childhood away, you have to grow up real fast and people seem to look down on you. each to there own and a lots of girls are having babies younger and younger, but what kind of life can you give this baby... No job, no house things will be hard.
I think that no one is perfect and everyone screws up every now and then...teen pregnancy is hard bc your life basically ends and there is no more partying or going out with friends but you cant say that it is a bad thing bc a miracle comes out of it
I was a teen mother. Her father left me. I had my mother thank god but it is the hardest thing. all my friends left me and i was all alone. waiting is the best thing and the most important thing to do. i had to work two jobs and go to school just to take care of her. Now she is 11 and asks me why is her daddy not around and that is the hardest thing to tell her that he doesnt want her. think about the child before you start and see how that child will feel and would you want that for you or your child.
Hope.


Hope that they do as well as I did.
my thoughts are:





it is sorta wrong, but it was God's will that He wanted it to happen.
I personally believe that ANYONE can be a good mother. Be it a single mother, a young mother or whatever... Kids are not ONLY meant for older married couples. If that were so, why would women become fertile at such a young age? (This in regard to the person saying it was for older married people...)


Now, I think that teens should try to finish school, make a life for themselves, and get whatever they want to out of their system before having kids. There are too many young parents that want to still party after having their children, which is wrong.


Kids are a huge responsibility. But it doesn't mean their lives are ending. Their lives are just beginning. It is those small people that really make life worth while, not the drinking, partying, or the like.


But to those girls/women that step up, I am proud. And those that continue their education, raise children by themselves, even more so. I am a young and single mother, and ya know what? I am a better mother than some married older women that I know. Age or marital status does not a mother make, it is being a true mother. And that can come at any age.


I do not think that teens always make the best decision though. Alot turn to abortion bc they made a stupid choice. If you can't accept the outcome, you don't need to do the deed. Period. No bc is fool proof, except abstinence.
Juno looks great and I really want to see it, but pregnacy should be planned for families and mothers. It's a commitment, and like God has said in the Bible, sex is a gift for married couples. Everyone should wait until they're older and married.
it happens and always will
It happens...I applaud teenage mothers that step up to the plate. There are also teenage mothers that largely lay the ';burden'; of their child on their Mom and Dad...but there are some that really step it up to care for their child.





Just because you are a teenage parent..it doesn't mean your life is over. There will be missed opportunities...but isn't that the case in every pregnancy??





Also...birth control doesn't always work...even when taken correctly. I was taking Ortho Tri Cyclen correctly and became pregnant. My friend is the product of birth control AND a condom...if that says anything.
teen pregnancies are ok if the baby is well taken care of by the mother.. and also the father..





my heart breaks for those kids who are pushed into orphanages and other homes evne if they are well taken care.. a child always needs it mother..
I was just shaking my head about how many posts I read about teenage pregnancy. I cant believe that they dont know better by now, here in 2008.


I knew many girls in high school who had babies waaaay too young. They were stuck trying to raise a kid while the rest of us graduated from high school, had the time of our lives in college, dated, found the right guy, got married, and so on and so on. It always amazed me that these girls were willing to totally kiss their youth %26amp; their future goodbye. I know they realize now what a mistake it is %26amp; how much they missed. I am not saying they dont love their child/children of course, but it's something that needs to wait until adulthood.


I had my first child at 30, I'm so glad I enjoyed my youth to the absolute fullest before getting married %26amp; having kids. I will never look back %26amp; wish I had done something different.


I'm happily married, university educated, financially stable, a stay-at-home mom %26amp; my son is my whole life... I doubt I would be any of those things had I been a teen mother. BTW, I was sexually active, but I was always careful about birth control. I just couldnt let it happen.





I dont mean to be harsh or judgemental, but it's something I feel very strongly about. Teenagers should NOT be having babies.





Condoms people!!!
i dont know whether your asking because you are a teenager or you have a pregnant teenager. But if you are a teenager and your pregnant or want to be pregnant take it from me think before you want a child. i was 18 when i got pregnant i was very careful and also on the pill but it didnt work for me and 6 months later i found out i was pregnant so i hadno choice but to have a baby dont get me wrong it was a blessing but it is very very hard being a teenager and having a child you lose your youth instead of studying at college or university and going out with friends your home cleaning baby vomit and poop. its very hard being a young mother take it from me im now 22 and still finding it hard.
They have made some bad choices and are stuck with what happens.





Life is all about making the right choices and sticking to them.
well it happens everyday. it is never my place to judge anyone on any situation. Teenage pregnancy is not the end of the world, like any pregnancy its the beginning of a new life. My son and his girlfriend are having a baby and they are teenagers themselves, so as you can tell i accepted it and turned it into something positive.
Well, I'm 18, and my fiance and I are trying to get pregnant. My fiance is in his late 20's, but I am a teen. But pregnancy and children are a very, very big commitment, so if you want kids, you need to think long and hard about whether you are ready for them and whether you can provide for them. (And even then teen pregnancy is very, very tough).
I don't have a general thought about all pregnant teenagers. My thoughts depend on the teenager's attitude, personality, age, situation, ect... For example, obviously I will probably feel a little different about a 13 year old being pregnant than I would an 18 year old.
It's completely immature and irresponsible. With all the knowledge and technology we have today about pregnancy and birth control, you'd have to be an idiot to get pregnant unintentionally. I mean, seriously, how hard is it to put on a condom?!





Also, a pregnant teenage girl is bound to have troubles later on in life. Having a baby that young can screw everything up. Not to mention the baby will more than likely become screwed up too because of the lack of parenting skills and attention!

Adults: Does it annoy you when Teenagers just say that you are wrong, and you were wrong indeed?

For example, you are talking to a group of people and you say something you know that is right, but then suddenly a teenager just interrupts and says you are wrong and states the actual fact.





Does it bother you?





Do you think you'll feel the same if another grown up corrected you?





What do you think of teens who are mature for their age?








*Best Wishes*

i usually do not correct people, i let people say whatever they want, because at the end, me, myself and I will know who is right :)





just go by the flow, don't let anything pathetic such as common words affect you :)








being matured for your age is called being Precocious :)





i am Precocious for my age, and really age does not define who you are, even though people group other people by group, as if everyone in that group knew the same thing and were educated the same way.








for me i always hung out with older people because i understood their conversations, i didn't care for dolls or action figuers or anything likewise








i believe maturaty is afected by culture, country, parents, who you hang out with, interests, religion, etc...





hope that helped :)

Adults: Does it annoy you when Teenagers just say that you are wrong, and you were wrong indeed?
I correct peoples' mistakes whether they're adult or my peers in a nice way, and when I do that to my peers they say ';okey smarty pants, yeah whatever'; and when I correct adults they say, ';oh thanks';





I like to be corrected to my mistakes, but when they do that attitude thing, it gets me mad and I hate it. However, when people correct me and I was right, I'll argue with it.





I am 16 and I usually act mature.



Yes, it does bother me. I hate to be corrected by other people it gets me REALLY frustrated.





But that's life I guess. I've told my friends not to correct me when I'm wrong but sometimes they do and it gets annoying %26gt;=(





Also, I'm correcting you right now when I say:





This question does not belong in this category :P
We are all entitled to our opinion so therefore no-one is right or wrong it's a just a difference of opinion. Teenagers have been given a voice and I think it is fantastic we just have to learn to listen to them more. They do have some good points, whether they are naive or not!
I could take correction much better coming from an adult. It has been my experience that teens are usually very rude when they correct someone, if their attitude was a bit better and more polite perhaps people would not object to their corrections as much.
No, if I am wrong, please correct me so I don't make the statement again. It does not bother me that they are younger. We are all here to learn. And nobody knows it all!
I'm a teen. And usually, if someone is wrong about something I let it slide. It's not my problem. It's not my job to correct them. And quite frankly, it's none of my business.
lol, i'm a teen, i'm a bit of a ***** about it when i correct someone, simply cause it annoys me. and i usually get scolded, but find it hilarious when they look stupid cause i'm right.
I've never had that happen. If I'm wrong and get corrected so long as the correction is polite I don't care. If it's rude I'd be more upset with the curtness that the correction.
yes it does





some times they re annoying
I don't talk that much but usually I am the one who's right because I tutore teenagers. I don't talk that much in the spare time. Don't you have a math homework to write?
am a teenager and i will always speak my mind.well i know is annoying though but i dont care

What are some reasons that teenagers are less oriented with high school?

This question pertains to students using internet resources and it also pertains to distractions.What are some reasons that teenagers are less oriented with high school?
What do you mean ';less oriented';?What are some reasons that teenagers are less oriented with high school?
sensory overload....there's so much coming at them these days.
Because high school is so boring! The teachers don't teach, students don't care, and there are so many distractions. People talking, notes, cell phones. School needs to be interesting and they don't make ti feel that it is. Why would a teenager want to learn about someone who died 2,000 years ago and have to write a paper on it? It just doesn't do it for us.

Why do you think more teenagers don't practice abstinence?

curiousityWhy do you think more teenagers don't practice abstinence?
I don't think it's right to blame it soley on peer pressure - many teenagers never experience peer pressure to be honest. I never did. I decided to have sex before I was married (with my long term boyfriend) simply because I wanted to and waiting until marriage just isn't for me. Some teenagers want to feel as though they've 'achieved something' and feel proud they've lost it; usually at a young age. I have noticed however that alot of abstinence preaching Christians make teenagers who are having sex feel like outsiders; just because they choose something they don't agree with. There's barely anyone I know (who is a teenager) that is actually waiting until marriage.Why do you think more teenagers don't practice abstinence?
i'm a teen, and i'm gonna answer this question. it's probably because they're rebelling from their parents. usually if parent's are strict on their kid, their kid is gonna rebel. they're gonna want to do things that they know their parents don't want them doing such as drugs, alcohol, and sex.





also, it usually is the peer pressure from other kids. maybe their friends aren't virgins, and it's as if they feel obligated that they don't need to be a virgin either. and it is the hormones, they probably want to experience new things, you know explore their horizons and all.
I think some of it is peer pressure like others said from boyfriends or just plain friends.


But i also think kids nowadays have a lot more responsibility and HAVE to grow up earlier for some reason. I think that when they have to fend for themselves or/and there smaller siblings or some other reason they feel as if there are already adults and they feel like they can go out and do adult things like having sex. I think they feel like they can handle it because they already feel like adults and that's the reason they go out and have sex.


But this is my opinion.
Teens do not practice abstinence because they are hormonally curious about what sex is. Males have it easy, they masterbate and think intercourse must be like that only better. Which it isn't always. It is just Short.





Girls have it much more difficult.


What they do not know is that you aren't good at sex at first. Most girls who lost their viginity early do not have sex again for several years. Too disappointing.--even though they do not admit it.





I think I miss the days of 'heavy petting' when girls and guys learned to rouse each other without going straight to intercourse. It was a long long learning process and no one was in any hurry to take it to the next stage because BC wasn't a sure thing. And girls who got pregnant were well, gossiped about, got married in HS and maybe, maybe went back for their GED. Once you had a baby your life was over. We all knew it. We wanted more than that so we waited.
everyone is in such a rush to grow up (i wont lie including me) and that is the ';grown up'; thing to do, having sex is like a discovery that everyone hears so much about through the media and even through sex ed. at school, they make it seem so interesting people just want to do it and find out for themselvs
peer pressure (even got that from my friends)

your boyfriend might leave you if you don't (no one wants to be alone but if i had one and he said that then i would say bye)


horomones (can drive you crazy)


just wanting to know how it feels and to be able to say ';I did it';
Because you can't fight human nature no matter how much fear of god you try to instill in them. The average Christian kid only waits about a year longer to lose his or her virginity than a non-Christian, so that says a lot for the efficacy of the abstinence-only worldview!
I think it's hormones. That's why instead of teaching abstinence, they should start at least teaching safety. That way, we would know that so many teen girls wouldn't be getting pregnant. If they do it, then at least let them do it safe, ya know?
idk, but i am a teen and am going into HS and there are kids in my grade that talk about sex they had the other night and stuff like that. maybe because of peer pressure. i practice abstinence and i want to get a purity ring for it to

the pressure to be ';cool';


lots of things contribute to teens not practicing abstinence.


i wish more teens did though.

mostly because they have no respect for themselves.

Have you ever noticed how teenagers dress to look good, not for the weather?

I pass by the bus stops on my way to work every morning and it's 20 degrees and the girls are still in their short skirts and the guys just have a sweatshirt or chamois shirt but no jacket.


(Yes I know I sound like a grumpy old man)Have you ever noticed how teenagers dress to look good, not for the weather?
I know, it is so funny, a girl got angry cause she asked a guy; Is it cold out here or is it me (she had her arms crossed and hands on her chin) then the guy said, I don't know uncross your arms and let me see. So she got angry and all mind you she had a little tank top on or something like that. I heard that story somewhere, don't remember who told me, but it is true, teens get dressed to see who looks better, some of them (boys) walk around with their pants down to their knees, showing their glamorous underwear, and thei toochy crack and wtiha cap on, it is like they got out of bed brushed their teeth put a cap on and went to school in their pajamas, so weird!Have you ever noticed how teenagers dress to look good, not for the weather?
Yes, I agree. It's freezing and they are walking around in their short sleeve T-shirts. Today I saw one young man with shorts on. It was mid 50's, but it couldn't be healthy for him to dress that way, in my opinion.
ridiculous, eh? But, I'm just a grumpy old woman!
Not where I live.
There was this girl at my school, and in 5 degree weather, and snow on the ground, she was wearing flip flops
chamois are ugly





There's this kid in my Geometry class that wears nothing but white golf shorts even in winter O.o
Yeah its about looking good, and hot.
LOL,oh yes i see that too,the funniest one was recently a bunch of goths walked by and it was hot and they were dressed in warm clothing and sweating! cheers :)
Ummm yess.

Probably not - I doubt Maxis or EA wants to get involved with any controversy surrounding teen pregnancies, though college students can get pregnant.
