Can you imagen be a teenage girl pregnant? The thought has crossed my mind more than once. The feeling of being lost and not knowing what to do. How am I going to take care of myself let alone another human being? What about food, clothes, diapers, health care? Im just not ready for this! You want to be able to know that you and your child will be safe. Clincs can help but you also need the support of friends and family. What are your opinions on all of this?

So last school year, in my high school, I noticed so many people were pregnant. I know some of them kept their babies, and they are just the most adorable little babies! I know, of course, most teens don't plan on having a baby, it just... well, happens. And I also know that, many people in my school have gone to the clinic to see if they were pregnant, and some even got abortions. Now, for a person to find themselves having an unexpected pregnancy, it is a scary thing, I'm sure. But it is up to the person to decide whether they wish to keep it. Being a teen mother is a whole nother story. But I can see that the two teen moms who had their child two years ago and last year, are great mothers, and one of them graduated, and the other is still in school, but is going to graduate. So they both seem to be doing great! I think it all depends on the person and if they an handle having a child and managing their life.

hi everyone im new on here. but here goes.... i have a 3 year old daughter, i was 15 when i had her,i didnt find out i was preg till i was 7 months gone, altho i still woodnt of had an abortion, as i dnt agree with them, but it each to their own! altho i was only young, i still did my GCSE's went on to college for 2 years and now workin, so i dnt thing ive done to bad! so to everyone that say teen mums are bad or i dnt agree! sorry!

I am a strong Christian and my paretns expect me to be a good leader to people and follow the rules of the bile. Teens losing their virginity and ages 13, 14 15 ect. is very wrong for me. It is a sin to have sex out of marriage so besure you and your partner are married or engaged. Jsut don't make really big mistakes.Some people's parents won't support them like this guy's paretns do. Just try to live your teenage years child free and wait for that really special someone.

who is to say when god will give you that someone special or how long you will have with them?

you surely are a male... abortion is a women's choice just like it is a women's choice to endure the pain of periods to one day make the choice of having children or not having children at all

It should be noted that unwanted pregnancies and STDs aren't limited to teenagers.

Besides, if this is all about preventing pregnancies and diseases (and I know it isn't), why not use condoms and oral contraceptives? If used properly, they're extremely effective. And it's certainly more likely that a teen is going to swallow a pill than abstain from sex.

I have the ultimate solution to teens getting pregnant. I have a way for teens to ensure they don't get pregnant and they never get an STD. Its a crazy theory I have been working on and have not yet had a chance to get it peer reviewed but here we go:

Don't have sex.

There. Follow that simple instruction and teens and young children should not get pregnant.

That is a crazy theory. I haven't heard it before. Good work notsojoey.

And if I do have this baby and decide that I want to keep it, he wont want anything to do with it. I made a very large mistake and I know but I can't go back. I wont try and keep the baby from him but I also want my baby to have a father...

You might want to actually talk to the father about this, if it's true. IF it's true. That's a big if.

Monkey, you should give it up for adoption. You realize that you messed up, don't ruin this kids life just because you think having the baby will make up for your mistake. I am sure in your heart you know what the right thing to do is.

I have a friend who was raped when she was 8 years old and she got an abortion because if she went through the birth her and the babys lives would have been in risk, she was just too young.

She ended up pregnant at the age of eight?
