I understand what the OP is going through, but in my case I'm NOT a teen parent. I was 15 when my little brother was born and since my mom works full-time I take care of him after school and during summers. I get HORRIBLE looks from people when I take him out places because people assume he is my child. I feel like I need to wear one of those t-shirts everywhere I go that says "I'm the big sister"

So while I don't think teen pregnancy is a good thing, I don't give people dirty looks because I know things aren't always what they seem.

While I do think that it's a mistake, I don't think that girls who get pregnant should be judged by others. For all those onlookers know, she could have been raped (by a date or even in a more disturbing situation) or taken advantage of. Even if that is not the case, then it's their choice. It might not be your beliefs. You might have made a different choice in the girl's shoes. But shooting dirty looks, being nasty, and tearing her down won't help, it will just hurt the recipient. Remember, she probably isn't too happy with how the situation turned out, either. So be nice.

I don't believe in sex before marriage. Therefore, teen pregnancy is 100% not okay with me. Not even if you feel you're in love, or are engaged. I don't care. Not until you're married. Whether you're 13 or 75, it is not okay with me.

But a friend I no longer have contact with just had a child. She's a Freshman and is 16 or almost 16. I heard from another friend who does still have contact with her.

I get that it happens. I really understand that some people want to get pregnant, use protection and it fails, or something else that's out of their control. I'm not saying everyone tries to get pregnant or anything like that, but some people do.

However, I would never give someone a dirty look or anything like that. It's none of my buisiness and is their mistake unless it was intended or something completely out of their control.

This is my opinion. I'm not trying to do anything to make others upset or start an argument. Just voicing my opinion.

I don't see anything wrong with having a debate as long as it remains civilized.

This thread might be old but is there a rule against bumping old threads? Teen pregnancy is relevant and happening.

I really think it's wrong, you should have considered waiting, but it's your choice.

i agree. Teenagers in my opinion are too young to have you know
what. But im sure it was a mistake, and ppl have no rite to stare
at you, cuz they rlly dont knw the situation.

 

[Tinkerbell63]

I say that it was your choice. If you wanted a baby then now you have one.

People sometimes know what they are getting into.

 

[MickeyisBeast]

I think it basically depends on how mature you are. I don't like teen pregnency, but I would never give a teenager a rude look if I saw them with a little kid, because I don't know their whole story.

I agree with yours better than mine.

I personally just don't get why people would want to "DO IT" at such a young age like 15. I mean you have such a huge life in front of you Graduating High School, Going to College, hanging out with friends, going to movies etc. i mean you can't do all of that stuff when you have a baby. Your only young once so why not live the best of it???

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Ah whatever I'll bite.

Teens have sex because they're hormonal. My thoughts? If you do it- be safe, condoms, BC, whatever, and also be somewhat prepared, incase all of the above fail, to have a child.

I think it really depends on the person and there situation at home...
I know a girl who is pregnant who I think that this is a horrible thing...
Her family situation is horrible at home, she comes from a very poor family who can't even afford basic needs like food, and gas. Her dad is dating this person off and on and she continuously moves in and out of her home. She doesn't have a job to pay for the child and doesn't have a interest in getting one. She just turned 16, she got pregnant on October 31st and has yet to tell her parents. She broke up the boy friend, she's busy in the hall's making out with guys, she lies to others all the time. I don't believe that this is a good thing at all how will her dad be able to afford the baby in the first place if he can't even afford him and his daughter? What about school? What about getting a job? What abouts the childs future and all the hurts he/she will have to go through because of the his parents being seperated and living in poverty? I really just feel like having a baby at this age is a bad idea. I would be more for it if her family situation was different. Like she had wealthly parents, good grades, wasn't kissing every boy in town, Had a job, and a good support system. I really just believe it depends on the situation...

if her family were wealthy and loving, she probably wouldn't be pregnant. the fact of the matter is that the lower the income of the family, and hte more family *******, the more likely this is to happen.
