I agree wholeheartedly. Why abort a perfectly good baby when the same unwanted child could get you upwards of $10,000 on the black market? Waste not want not, teen mothers.

Personally Im am not for abortions the way i feel is if your going to lay on your back take what you get. I am from a family of 10 yes I said 10 We are all from the same mother and father In my parents eyes there is no room for the word abortions.right now I am doing a term paper on Teen Abortions and why they are bad.i just feel that abortions are not the solution there are other things you can do.

i just read an article entitled "T0P TEN REASONS ABORTIONS IS WRONG" and to say the least, i was appalled. i have never read something that has ever made me so angry. i happen to know that you don't know what you're going to do until you are in that situation. just because you don't believe in someothing when you talk about it in health class doesn't mean taht it's wrong. NEVER should anyone say abortion is wrong unless you have gone through the situation, and have lived that life.

Yeah me to i am 13 with a 5 week old

I am not against teen pregnancys cuz sometimes a couple does use protection and then they still get pregnant. Also sometimes the father does stay there for the baby cuz there is such thing as teen love. I have friends who got pregnant and their bfs are there for them all the time. I agree their to young,but because they have a baby doesn't mean they are sluts or are a bad person.

I always wanted to have a kid at a young age, but the work that would have to go into it, I just cound't deal with it. But I still want a kid be the time I'm like 20 or so. I don't think it is bad for teens to have kids, just a bit harsh for a punishment for having sex at an early age.

Trying to stop teens from having sex is like trying to stop a train with a butter knife. It can't be done. Well, not without taking drastic measures, at least. With this in mind, it is best to illustrate to kids that their actions will have consequences and then provide with options to keep them safe if they should choose to not be abstinent. People tend to blame teenage pregnancy and STDs on sex, but that's not quite true. Unprotected and unsafe sex results in babies and STDs. If you know what you're doing (which, I will admit, generally doesn't happen until a mature age), it's not going to be a problem.

I definitely agree, but that might not even stop teens having sex because they're thinkin' "Oh, i'll just use a condom it won't be a big deal...i'll be safe" So, another focus to add to that list is to USE CONDOMS! and being a pregnant teen, you could always choose to put the baby up for adoption if you're THAT young...that way, you won't have to pay for an abortion, you will have to deal with having the baby in you for 9 months but you will know that you'll have sent it off to a good family and that it will be loved and you won't have to struggle with trying to feed it and be with it 24/7 because being a mom isn't easy.

I agree, the focus of sex ed needs to be to not have sex till a mature age. It shouldn't be a hodgepodge display of sexual contraceptives at age 13. Sex ed should focus on the consequences of having sex first: pregnancy (and the economic and health impact of such a thing) health (a realistic view of STDs and HIV) and emotional (depression rates are high among young teens who are sexually active). At the end contraceptives should be discussed with an emphasis on the unliklness that they will completley reduce preganancy (there should be no handing out of condoms at this point). I do believe children should learn about contraceptives but that shouldn't be the focus of sex ed.

I think that you should run for school board instead of Joey Dauben.

Another focus should be not to give your child to someone who solicited you on an internet forum.

That's right, but it is all about the way that the education is done. Eduction is one thing, encouragement is another.

Exactly marine. If people want to have sex, they will regardless so it's best to educate them.

Or they could learn that 14 and 15 year olds shouldn't be having sex. But I doubt 14 and 15 year olds who are having sex will listen when you tell them not to so they should be educated on safe sex.

And then they need to learn how to lessen those possibilities through the use of condoms and contraceptives. Ignorant teens are breeding grounds for STDs and babies. Knowledgeable teens are at less of a risk. Still at risk, yes, but the risk is significantly less.

First off, anyone who thinks of giving a baby to a person, XxAmandaxX, that contacted them on the interent should seriously reconsider. Why isn't this person going trough adoption agencies?

Life is about choices and consequences. Teens need to know whether from their parents, schools, mentors, friends, or churches, that when they have sex their is the possibility they can have a baby or get and STD.

I am here to offer any teen girls wanting to give their baby up an option. I am moving to the country and own everything so I am able to provide a very stable and loving home. I am unable to have any children so it would be the best thing in my life. Plese send me an e mail if you you are thinking of it.
