my world rant

[jemberly_ann]

ok...

the girls in my town are great-no pregnancies that i know of in my grade in my school. but, there is a 7th grader that is apparently pregnant with another 7th graders' kid. i cant believe it. also, apparently there is a girl on a cheer team that is pregnant, and the mom is happy! im in disbelief. you would laugh at the face im making.

also, the two 14 year olds who were pregnant. i cant believe it!!!!!!!! my age girls having a kid! crazy! one of my friend's mom delivers babies, and she said that in my old town, she would see 8th graders all the time. why would you want to do that to yourself. you wouldnt be able to fit in the desks! that would be terrible. they would have to put a table in every class just so you could be in that class. and, if you went into labor, how much would that stink?!?!? i mean come on people, would you want to be this in 2 years?

I try not to judge.

I try not to judge.

Same. I try SO Hard.

Same. I try SO Hard.

Exactly. I try my hardest. I slip sometimes, just because I'm human, but I try really really hard.

Agreed with the rest.
You shouldn't get pregnant before marriage.
But that was their decision.

I personally would probably get an abortion, or at the very least give it up for adoption. No way would I be raising a kid as a teenager.

I also don't plan on becoming sexually active anytime soon, but if something were to happen that was out of my control, I would get an abortion.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Since you mentioned what we would do...

I'm not sure actually. Right now, right here I'd probably say I'd put it up for adoption. That's the logical choice. But once I lived with it inside of me for 9 months and then saw it's cute little face, those crazy thoughts of keeping it would run into my head.

I definitely wouldn't get an abortion. I'm pro-choice, but abortion is just not something I could personally do.

It happens all over, and I actually think it's a good thing that her mom is happy for her---better than kicking her out of the house don't you think?
It's good that she has the support of her mother.

If that happened to me I would keep my baby probably. I'm not ready for a child, but I think I'm old enough that if that DID happen, I could care for the baby and be a good mother.

I think so too.
A girl who lived here a couple years ago is about 8 months pregnant and goes to her new school. Some of her friends here talk about her and I saw her a couple months ago. She looked happy. They say she's extremely excited, her family, and friends support her. She's still with the same guy, and she can't wait. Yeah, of course I was suprised at first, but now I'm just happy for her. I'm really glad she has so much support behind her. I'm sure she, and the baby, will turn out to be A-OK.

If it happened to me, I'd keep the baby. I'm also pro-choice, but I personally couldn't have an abortion, and I wouldn't put it up for adoption either.

ok people, im NOT judging. im just saying that those who are pregnant and a teen, they just bug me because i cant believe that they were messing around so much.

That's the definition of judging.

I have so much respect for pregnant teens that have their baby.
I'm personally against abortion, and I think it takes a lot of courage to go out and face the world as a pregnant teenager, because people DO judge.
Not that I'm saying that girls who do get an abortion are doing the wrong thing, because I've never been in that situation and can't judge their decision.
But I definetly respect people who decide to keep the baby, just knowing what they're going to have to face.

If I got pregnant, I'd want my parents to raise the child.
I know I wouldn't be able to have an abortion, or give it up for adoption.
I'd want to have a relationship with my baby.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Ive never seen it.
I cant say anything unless I know the person.
Someone I know from my school got pregnant this year.
Do I care?
Not really, I hope her and the baby are happy, that the mom finally sees how smoking weed, and losing virginity at the age of 9 can be bad.

I hope she stops smoking for the baby.
Its not that Im friends with this girl, Im not. I infact dislike her, but I just cant exactly judge.

 

[BabyPiglet]

You are most definitely judging.

That's exactly what I would do.

It takes ONE time having sex to get pregnant. One time with one person. It isn't something that happens to sluts or *****s. It can happen to anyone who is sexually active. It could be that the girl was pressured into having sex. It could be that she thought she loved him. It could be that he and she tried protection, but it failed.

Until you've been in the position, I don't think you can pass any judgments, and especially if you've been in the position, you probably won't.

So they made what you deem to be a mistake, if its what they wanted, i'm happy for them-though I konw how hard their lives will soon become. if its not what they've wanted-there are plenty of options to resolve the situation.

Either way, it is not your place to judge these girls.

 

[chisnpeke]

It's really sad to me, to be so young and in that situation. If I got pregnant right now, I wouldn't necessarily be sad about it because I'm an adult (legally anyway, I'm 19) but I would be nervous about it. I would keep the baby. But I couldn't imagine having a baby at 14, so I can only have sympathy for these young girls.

This past semester (Sept-Jan) in my Fashion class, there were two pregnant teens.

One of them showed up to class rarely (although her due date was December). She was about...15? 16? Not in my grade. I think she was either a Sophomore or a Junior.

The other one, I went to elementary school with for a couple years. She was about 14, 15? She moved to Florida before her baby was due, with her mom. I think her boyfriend went too, but I'm not sure.

Anyway.

Not judging them too much. It happens. There's hardly a HS without at least one pregnant teenager. You notice it, but you don't. Know what I mean?

Personally, I'd HAVE to have an abortion. Yes, I'm pro-choice, but you see, I have a (sort of) life threatening illness. My blood is thin, and the counts are low. My body's not made for labor. I'd most likely die in childbirth. Not to mention I could possibly pass on my genetic disease to my child, and I wouldn't want them to live like I am.

I do want children though, so I and my partner (be it man or woman) will adopt. Adoption is just...it seems like the right thing to do. To give a child who is an orphan parents. To let them feel...loved.

We have a pregnant girl at my school.
I think that having a teen when you are young is not a smart idea, but it is their choice.
I think you have so much time ahead of you. But I don't know those girls.
I think it is good that the mother is happy. It is better to be happy for your daughter then kick her out on the street.
And while I think that you should wait to have a child, teen mothers really deserve respect.
I mean, yes, maybe they made a mistake. But they kept the baby. (some of them do, anyway) I think it would take a whole lot to raise a child while still in school and I think those girls deserve some credit.
