Or how about not have sex at all? Condoms don't work 100% of the time, and it's idiotic to have mindless, raw sex in teen years.

I think its crazy to have a baby at such a young age. Especially at 16 and 17. Your so close to gettin out of school and going to college. You dont want to be that age and have to put your life on hold because you didnt think so now you have a child to worry about. I know that im not goin to have a child young because i have things in life that i want to do..so my own baby is just not a thought that is in my head right now!

I don't care what anybody says. Teen girls are not suppose to be exposed to sex. Most of the time teens have sex they regret it and wish they were still a virgin. They think it's a way of being "cool," or whatever. But it isn't so cool when you have to take care of a child when your only 12,13,14,15,16,17,18,or 19. Mostly teens that become pregnant don't plan on going to college, they plan on dropping out of school or not going to high school at all. But sometimes it can happen just from being deeply inlove as so they say, but what do we know about love at 13 or 14. We don't know sh*t, we think we do but we don't. Just like it looks simple to take care of a child, please, gimme a break. U have to buy diapers, carriage, clothes, then clothes 4 u, and that ain't CHEAP. U spending money, and like momma use to say, "money don't grow off tree's." And plus you need a J.O.B. How you expect to take care of a child at 12 when you're not even legal enough to get one. Teen girls need to keep there legs closed, it's alright to kiss and go on dates but sex, das way too ahead. U not grown so stop trying to be. And these parents need to teach kids about AIDS and have conversations about things like this. THats another reason why most kids go out n have sex getting pregnant not using protection.

I have to be the first teen on here to say that I actually WANT a baby right now. I don't know why or w/e but I just have this drive to have a baby. My bf supports me but we don't try to get me pregnant because as much as I want it I also want the best for my child. The best meaning the best house,the best clothes,the best private school,the best toys,the most love,everything.I know that right now that just couldn't happen. I think my parents kinda worry about how much I want a baby. They were really relieved when I had to bring home one of those dolls that is programed to act like a real baby. They were so sure that would just make me forget it all. I actually liked it...I even said yes when the teacher asked me (as a joke) would I want to take it home again. I don't know what the big deal is. If I were to get pregnant I would def keep the baby. Abortion, no matter how you look at it, is not the answer. There are so many couples out there willing to adopt a baby. I don't think that teen pregnancy is the best thing for the child, but if the parents love him/her and take good care of them...I don't see the big issue.

Why have sex? I mean, I wanna know why there's so much pressure. Most of the time in a relationship outside of marrige that involves sex, someone ends up gettin hurt. I don't personally think it's worth it. My sister got pregnant w/ her b/f before they were ready. I just don't think that people should be doin it yet if they're not married. I'm not gonna condemn any1 who does, cuz that'd just be wrong. But I just think it's all the better to wait! just think of all the fun u can have on ur wedding night! ;D
Just my thoughts

Ive got a friend named "Mon'et' that has a child at the age of 14 and she got pregnant again but her mom took her to the doctor to get an abortion. I think that that is wrong and that she should of kept the baby even though she is 14 and she has plans to get pregnant again when she is 15 and her parents are ok with that. If their are any teens out their that are having sex, I think you should use protection to not have an unplanned pregnancy of stop having sex all together.

One word, "Abortion."

Aight, first thing I have to say is this: No matter how old a person is you are never ready for the effects that bringing a life into the world will have on you. Also just because a person is older doesnt necesarily mean that they are more mature, some 15 yr olds take better care of their babies then 35 yr old married parents do. Yes, it is nicer when people r married before they have kids, but divorce happens, and so does death. ALL I'm saying is life is precious, and before u open ur legs, open ur mind and think about the negative and positive consequences of wat u r doing! Another thing, stop haten on teen mothers. They deserve a lot of repsect, they could have killed, abandoned, or aborted their baby but instead they chose to be brave and lie in the bed they made. Also, we need to start think more about teen fathers, where r thet? There are a few good ones, but the majority or absent! LEts rap it up people!

You're lucky though. ****in sucks when your mom's gone, your dad, who used to live off child support for you, cant help you cause someone found out he beats you, your child's father is the biggest drug dealer in the town and you appearently have some drug issues yourself, while you are pregnant.

Count your blessings.

I know alot of people think having a baby at a young age is bad, well i was one of thoes people. now i have two. im 16, almost 17 and my boyfriend who is 19 have twins, a girl and a boy. it's been rough. but im still in school and chris has a good job. our mothers take turns watching Gatlyon and Gage. They are 6 months old. Chris and I have a house, its nothing big, but it's perfect for us. when people told me i couldnt do it, it just made me stronger and made me what to prove them wrong, and i have. all my friends just droped me like it was nothing, i have 3 good friends still. they love helping with the twins. so all i have to say to every girl out there having a baby, yes it is scary and people do talk to you know. and for the people who talk, leave them alone. your just going to get showed up in the long run.

Actually this is not surprising to hear. A lot of teens are engaging in premarital sex and i think it is just careless, unresponsible and uncaring. Yes, i know that as teenagers, we experience a lot of stuff like being involved in relationships, parties and loads of other stuff but this should not be the reason why every teen should succumb to what their bodies tell them to do. I mean, we are humans right? and humans have brains which means, we can think what is right, what is wrong and what is responsible. Yes, it is true, i am a teenager too and i have experienced changes in my body but it does not mean that i will engage in sex just because i happen to like and love a certain person.
Did you know that only by loving snd being legally married to that person and also saving your virginity for your partner is the only true way for your relationship to last? Look at what happened to that 14 year old boy who has a baby now? And to think he is still a boy himself! For me that is totally embarrassing because its as if at that age, he has made it obvious to the world what he has done... By having a baby, he has showed people that this is a serious consequence. The thing is, teenagers do not think. They just act right away without weighing the options. For me, what that boy has done is totally unethical, very unresponsible and very very wrong. What do you think will be his future now? He said that by having Joshua (his baby) it helped him be responsible. But so what???? He is just saying that because it already happened.
I might be in love with someone but to tell you the truth, i would rather wait for my wedding night than risk getting pregnant or worse, having AIDS. I think that the value of marriage is not sacred anymore. People think they get married so it would be legal. But while this is true, the true meaning of marriage is LOVE and through God's blessings, you will be able to create a family and to all teens out there, here is a thought for you: What is more beautiful? Both you and your partner having sex now or both you and your partner promising to have sex on your wedding night? THINK ABOUT IT! It not only affects you personally but it affects your partner's future too. I AGREE WITH SHYGUY WHO SAID THAT THE GREATEST WEAPON IS ABSTINENCE! I THINK THAT IS COOL!
>>>BEING A VIRGIN IS COOL,HIP AND BEAUTIFUL!

I don't think that it's right that there are so many pregnant teens out there... but I also don't look down on them for that....two of my best friends have babies and yeah it's hard because we don't hang out nearly as much as we use to.... but instead of sitting there telling them that they are to young or whatever I try to help them and be there the best that I can.... god has a plan for everyone and obviously this was part of their plan....

Thank you for sharing, add me to the number 1 of X. It is nice to know there are role models we can be or look up to. I don't care what others think, I will wait for Mr. Right. I would rather not worry about pregnancy or inappropriate emotions until I am ready

I once seem on a show where this sex-ed teacher was talking about her school and how they use to give out comdums and birth control pills and your parents didn't have to know. I think they should still do that because people are still going to do it. That way they can at least be safe and protected!

I have nothing against teen mothers, especially since my mom was one. But the only bit of dvice I have, is that you never let a guy ake advantage of you or your body. We're all beautiful, and we're all special, and we all have a purpose, and it's not just child birth. So do the unexpected, raise your baby, while still maintaining who you really are. Don't worry about what others say or think, we know you didn't get pregnant on your own, but that doesn't mean that you should give up responsibility.

There was a girl in my school that got pregnant in 10th grade. The father was a freshman. I know it would be really hard but honestly, I was envious of her.

It would be sceary to raise a child when you r like a child yourself.

i am 17 years old and my fiance is 18. we have a 6 month old little girl. i was 16 when i got pregnant. i am going out with the guy all the girls wanted. so i didn't have very many friends and after i had her the last of my friends. i don't regret any of it and i would never take it back. everyone told my that i was not going to make it with the money, school, work, everything. but i am i am getting married my fiance has a great job and i just got a house. so if you are pregnant you can make it no matter what anyone says.
