How Do You Feel About Teens Wanting To Get Pregnant?

All young women, or at least most of them want to have children. Its natural for them. So they need to have their children in the right way, that being a real marriage, not some hook up situation. There's nothing wrong with people wanting to have children what is wrong is having them outside a real marriage. So these young people need to be shown what a real marriage is. Not only for their sake but for the children as well.

It is the babies who really suffer in these situations. The babies and the parents of the teen. The babies usually don't have much of a role model as far as mothers go, and the parents of the teen usually end up having to raise and provide for the baby, because the little teeny bopper that hatched it out can't even take care of herself, let alone herself and a baby. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law has ended up in this very situation. Her 14 year old daughter is pregnant by a 22 year old hoodlim/criminal. The girl wont/cant get a job, so it is going to be up to my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to provide for this baby, probably until the kid is an adult. I have a feeling that knowing the kid who is pregnant, she isn't going to be much of a mother...

hmm ive never seen that baby borrowers show. must be somthing new. i dont have cable so. anyways, what do i think about young girls wanting to get pregnant.... I think there crazy!. but not because its such a hard thing to be a mom. but because they have other things in life they need to focus one rather then raising a child. like finnishing school, going to college, find herself... its relaly not hard to be a mom. the only thing that is hard is being able to finacially support a child. other then that its a peice of cake... i am 22. i got pregnant when i was 18. when i found out.. i was soooo excited! the next day i was going and buying stuff. like baby shamppo and wash and baby wash clothes. all coed stuff. since i was in highschool i wanted a child. i ddint persue it till i was out of school.but i was still young.. i didnt mind giving up my social life...now my social life is right here on mylot. and i dont coplain about it t all... because my daughter is worth me not having one of thoes... the love i feel for my dauhgter. i could never feel for anyone other then a child of mine. i know that young mothers can make it thorugh and give children wonderful lives. i would never ask my dauhgter to get an abortion. and theres nothing you can do to change the past so why fight about it get frustrated about it... look to the fiitre and take all steps needed to get her prepared... of course i would be disapointed. but ill stil love my daughter and my granchild just as much asi did before..

They're idiots, plain and simple. What's the big hurry about getting pregnant, anyway? You've got your whole life ahead of you for that crap. At least wait until you're 30. Then you'll be mature enough to know what you got yourself into. You want unconditional love and your a teenage girl? Get a dog.

I have alot of love for the Baby Borrowers and hope alot of teens get to watch it because it was amazing watching the one girl not even two days in ready to give up--big eye-opener. My baby sister was one of them though, she was pregnant at 14 years old and I feel like we lost our sisterhood because she just did not have the time, but I did live with my father by that time. If it was my daughter--I would not even let it get to that level. I think that these kids are calling out for love and attention that their just not getting and even though my mom was someone the culprit by letting my sister date guys much older than her--my sister did take it really hard when my father left my mom because she got alot of attention from my father they were best friends and I feel for her even now of days and know she misses that.

Hello wachit14, I have not got any children,but I do know of one girl who had two childre by diffrent fathers. I was watchin a simaliar programme and what I gather the girls don't want to go out to work and they get houses so they can do what they like because they have their mums to look after their child while they go out and ofcourse social welfare do a lot for them.

I am a 23-year-old adult and even I do not want a child right now. 1. Having children is expensive. 2. A lot of things can go wrong when you are pregnant. 3. Giving birth is the worse pain imaginable, how do I know, I have seen women who have been in "Hell" pregnancies. These woman regret ever getting pregnant. and 4. Once the children are born, all of the real fun and freedom you once had, now goes away and is to never be seen again until the child is 18.

I think that teens need to grow up before they start thinking aout pregnancy. Like marriage and finding a partner, it is a big leap, and an even igger commitment. Partners MAY ome and go, but once you have a BABY........ it's FOREVER!! I think parenthood is way too glorified. Teenagers need to know what parenting is all about. I think that parenting classes should e mandatory in highschool, even i one doesn't want to have kids. I don't want to have kids, and I chose to take a parenting clas. I AM GLAD I DID!!! I also got the highest mark in the class.

I think those teens are just looking for something that parents or their boyfriends cannot give them. So they want to get pregnant to have the baby so they can have someone that loves them fully that they can call their own and take care of. Of course it doesn't turn out this way cause babies are a lot harder to take care of than a lot of teens think. They think they just feed them, bathe them and change them a few times a day and they're done. That obviously is not the case.

Dear friends, I have seen this mostly in the tribal areas of our place were outside people come and make false love with those innocent girls and leave them when they become pregnant. Hope this thus a smooth future living it really tough for them. Being a teenage pregnant depends how well she could hand her baby also how well she could go further. Hope this would not get further before they give a second or mature thought. May be a better workshops or education on this at root level could give them a better before being pregnant.

I think it is very sad that young girls think that is all they have as an option to find love. A baby does not equal love, a boyfriend does not equal love, etc. Where are these parents? Yes, parents cannot be everywhere but if they take the time to create a strong foundation within their child, especially their daughters, then they can trust their daughters to make the right decisions. My parents did and I always knew I could get away with stuff, but I knew my limits. And I knew a baby would not get me anywhere I wanted to be when I was younger. But then again I watched my friends who were teen mothers and saw firsthand how lives change. Whether they kept the babies or their parents raised them. When I have a little girl I will be as honest and open as my mother was with me. As a girl I am the one in control of my life, my future, and the situation. Respect yourself and wait until you are older.

I think that if teens want to have babies it's their right as long as they're of legal age. But ultimately, they aren't prepared for it. I don't see how teens can raise a family and be responsible about it. I believe in having a time for everything. And child rearing is definitely not done best during one's teens years. Which is why I have the utmost respect for teens who are able to raise children even before they are ready to.

I'm worried my self, as I have a daughter 14 and a son 16. I just hope I taught them well as well as wife.

i don't have a daughter yet and my son is only 2 yrs old. but if ever that situation comes, i would ask my daughter if she's really ready to get pregnant. i'll tell her the consequences that she might face if she'll get pregnant at an early age. i'd tell her to enjoy her teenage years coz it'll never come back...she needs to prepare herself before going into such situation of getting pregnant. she needs to be ready, physically,emotionally, mentally as well as financially.

If they are married, have finished their education, have finances in place to care for their child and own a home..sure! LOL! Go ahead! It takes finances, education a decent job AND maturity to raise a child. What teen has that in place?

I think it is crazy and they don't understand what they are getting into. There is so much that needs to be accomplished and set up before bringing a child in this world. You need to be in a stable marriage and for those of you who read this I know there are God's little miracles and divorces, but we should at least try the best we can to protect our children and not have to struggle like crazy to provide the best we can for them.
