i no of a fair few people who hve had a baby in thre teens. the youngist being 14. i hvnt spoke to her in a while so i wdnt no how she is coping. bt i dnt thnk abortion is ryt. it is killing sm1. adoption is a gud answer bt thn u hve to be able to lve the nxt 9 mnths wth sm1 inside u and thn to just give it away. i think teens should live a gud fun life but fun nt being sleeping around and getting pregnant.

teens with babies made a good or bad choice they had no buisness doing wat they did . but if that baby is part of that life they shoouldn't waist it they shouldn't give it up for adoption or give it up for abortion god created that child so u should bring it in this world and adore it. make it hapen okay i mean wat i say. the baby u have is ajoy . u messed up but u came out with ahappy ending.

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? 
yes you do have a really good point here, teenagers have alot of things to experience before they have children, but you'll be surprised at what you'll do for the little one you love, its difficult, i know, but you always make sacrafices, you learn to deal with being a teenage parent, well some might. yeah you do need the support from your family and friends, i know i couldnt raise a child without my family, or friends. The thought has crossed my mind several times also, but you've got to be confident and grow up fast and make sure you can give your child a good life, give them lots of love and care. |

Ok so the whole teen parent thing, its a touchy subject for ALOT of people,if you think about it, anyone of any age that can raise a baby is a strong person! Older people have problems with it because most of them did not believe in sex before marriage let alone having kids without being married. But think about it this way, if you think your old enough to have sex, then your old enough to carry the responsibilities of having sex.I know its hard, my brother was 22 with 2 kids, ages 1 and 2, it was hard as hell for him, but hes making it through, you have to be strong to raise a child, i raised the 2 year old for the first 6 months.I know the struggles you have to go through, been there, done that. But in my eyes, raising a child is one of the most amazing experiences anyone could go through, it doesnt matter the age. Those of who, who use Abortions as a birth control, lets just say i have no respect for them,all your doing is taking the life of an unborn child who didnt ask to be brought into this world!

hi i am 16 and i have a baby boy and a daughter that is 3. My little boy is only 7 months old. I applaud all the young mothers on this site. We moms have to fight for the same respect given to women that are older and have a baby. I have to admit. The first year with my daughter was rough, but i made it through. With my son it was a little easier because i have a job. I wish that people would give us the same credit they do for the older moms. I look at my kids as miracles. without them i would not be the same. I am way more mature than other 16 year olds because of them. I dont get into nearly the same amount of trouble as 16 year olds without babies. Well i have to go. My little boy just woke up and my daughter has to go to bed. welli will talk soon

I'm twenty years old with no children and never been sexually active. So why am I here? Simple. Alot of my friends were. I remember my first year of high school. The first day of class, I realized that this pregnant student I'd seen walking the halls was my classmate. Over the next four years, I saw more [former]classmates, and then friends of friends pregnant. My friends and I thought it was an epidemic! In a way it was. Now many young women from my graduating class and a few friends that are a lil' younger than me are married (not all, though) and are either pregnant or have young children. I don't look down on them because as far as I know, each one of them is taking care of her responsibility as a mother. It does upset me somewhat that young women and teen girls are becoming pregnant, but if they take of their children properly nd legally, I support them. Also, if a female is under 24, doesn't have a degree and a steady job, best believe she's going to accept help from whom ever offers until she can make due.

Well did you willingly have sex or were you raped? If you willingly had sex then you knew the responsibilities of sex and knew what could happen so I think abortion would be a stupid thing for you to do. Any teen girl that has a baby is a strong person in my eyes. They may have made their mistakes and did something a bit irresponible ((in most cases, not in the case of rape)) but atleast they're smart and strong enough to keep their baby and owe up to their responibility. I know lots of girls that have done this and are doing just fine. There really isn't much of an excuse for girls to have abortions and it's not a form of birth control. Even if a girl was raped, I know someone that was and still had the baby. I suggest to all, do what you believe is right but be considerate of others, not just yourself.

Oh my God, what world are you people living in? Shure there are some exceptions, but the staticics are that 60 percent of teenage parents will end up living under the poverty line. And guess what about 35% are doing- living off their parents. To the few decent teen parents I have offended, I appologise, I merly point out that you shouldn't fool yourself into beleiving what you would simply like to be true.
It must be lovely to wake up in the morning and understand everything.

I think they show amazing courage!!! They made a mistake but look what beautiful thing came out of it.I think the world need to stop being so critical and give these parents and anyone else a chance because there is always someone in your life you wish you had given a second chance and if you had they wouldn't be where they are today jail, on the streets etc. I've read some posts and I think we need to stop being so darn critical. What's done is done we just need to move forward. We should respect these parents who have faced tremendous adversity and are still going. God is obviously with them.

Well, I thought I was pregnant one time. But it was from a rather unfortunate experience.And it really scared me. At the time I was only 16, with no job, obivously still in school, and had no means of looking after another human being. It was one of the most scary things I've ever gone through. (not the worsest, but still) But thankfully I was not pregnant, that the second test I took came off negative.

I got pregnant when I was 16. At the time, I thought I knew everything and my age wouldn't be a problem. I'm 22, married, with 3 kids now. I love my babies, they mean everything to me. I love being a mom. But, I cry myself to sleep almost every night knowing that I can't give my kids the life that I would like for them. It's a hard life to live, and I hate that my kids don't have the childhood that every kid should. There's never enough money, never enough time.
I know I've made many mistakes in my life. I would never consider my children mistakes, because they are amazing little people. But, I'm still growing up and trying to figure out who I am. The only identity I have is my kids' mom. The situation we've gotten ourselves into sucks. It sucks for me, it sucks for my husband and it sucks for our kids.
I'm trying to make things better. Going to go to college and try to get a real job that can support a family of 5. But, when I think about what most people my age are doing in their life, I feel so much older than I am.
I'm 18 and I don't have a baby, but I do know what it's like on the other side of things. My mom had a my oldest brother at 16 and had five kids by age 23, my little brother. I would just like to say that although my mother and my dad couldn't give me everything, I find I have better memories of my childhood than some of my friends whose parents were much older and could afford children. My mom always said I love you all the time. More than twenty times a day, even when I became older, she always said I love you. Just that was enough to make up for some of the things we didn't have, that others did. We also had the adventure of trying to find things to do that didn't cost tons of money, and it made it more special. I can't imagine what your going through, but just know that as a child of such a situation I count myself lucky that I had my parents and they were the way they were, I woulnd't have them any other way and even though things can be hard, it doesn't mean we don't have a better childhood than others. |
