A teenager's life

Hello maximax. The young couple are responsible for their upcoming kid, but still I am worrying about their ability to raise the kid since they are still in their teens. I wonder whether they would get financial help from their parents or they have to start to look for a job.

I think it depends on the person really - it is not ideal for a lot of teenagers as they don't do it right and see it as being a way out of working etc but, there are many exceptions such as the young lad you met so thats the ones who should be proud! : )

Wow.. its very pleasing to hear this a 16 year old teen is talking about to become a dad and he is so much ready to become dad soon.. even im a teenager i have my guy who has 24 just now.. he is still waiting to marry me because i am still small ( shortly il be 20) and he wants me to complete my higher studies which will be a pending and he always tells me i dont know to take care of babies as i still act as a kid!! its true i badly depend on my mom.. but a 16 year old teen he is 3 years younger than me well planning for his family thats really great.. what is the age of his girl friend? its true they dint abort the innocent child and taken a good amazing decision.. GOD bless them both..

I feel mixed on the subject. It really depends on the person's maturity level. Some in their 20's are just in immature and really not ready to be parents while younger people are trying to be prepared and do everything correct. I would say it's based on the person. But I don't suggest 13 year olds start getting pregnant. It'd be better for them to finish their education first.

I think alot of it has to do with the kids themselves as to whether or not they handle it as adults or refuse to take responsability. It's great that this couple, although they probably didn't plan on it, are looking forward to it. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Hi Maximax8!!! Honestly I believe things happen for a reason...I believe if u can wait than wait but if it does happen you should take responsibility...That child didnt ask to come to this world it was your choice so make the best of it...Thats all you can to is to nutur that child... Be loving parents. Being a teenager you should wait and graduate school and have your own life.. Explore the world before you bring a child in but like I said things happen for a reason.. Just godbless those teenagers and that child!!!

I don't think teenagers need to take on the responsibility of being parents when they are teenagers. There are so many things out there for them to do...and the responsibilities of parenthood will bog them down (even if they don't realize it at first). I'm not against teenagers becoming parents if they so wish....I'm just trying to say that they will have to sacrifice or lose out on so many things they should be enjoying during their teenage age....so it's better to be safe and take precautions and postpone pregnancy to a few years later.

I think it happens and it is a personal decision on how a famiyl handles it. Noone knows what is happening in the family or how it can effect them. In truth I have 2 granddaughters living at home because of teen pregnancy. Two totally different circumstances but with the same outcome, our grandbabies who we love. Do I wish this would have occured differently but it didnt. We had to decide what to do and we did. We have not looked back and are doing what a family does. Stands beside their family and moves forward. Do I wish it didnt happen like this, sometimes yes but I cant think of life without them. We have total guardianship of the 20 month old while our other daughter lives here and is yet undecided what to do as her life didnt turn out the way she thought it would, yet she loves and takes care of her daughter. There are so many feelings and different circumstances that one could go on forever debating this subject. In a nutshell I think teenage pregnancy happens and it is up to each family to deal with.

Teenage pregnancy has become a social issue nowadays. A famous one at that. It has become infamous among teenagers in the world. Anyway, parents should spend more time with their kids and teach them the proper ways to deal with this issue. It should involve the whole family.

lol when i was an teenager ... my life was very hard ... i go to school and study there for 7 hours .. and when i came back to home i go to sleep when i wake up at night i do my work and get to sleep ... this was my daily life .... no sleep and no play .. =[

Abortion is a bad choice absolutely. And whether teenage pregnancy is good is up to the preparation for their babies. First physically, are their bodies mature enough? Second psychologically, have they prepared for the pain and stress in futrue? And also economically, can they give the baby what she or he need after his or her birth? If they have the ability to take the responsibility, it's nature for their pregnancy. And best wishes to their babies.

I don't think teenage pregnancy is good. It's not just about having a baby, it's about raising a child into a teenager, and then they will become an adult. It's a lifetime commitment. There's college, and food, and the whole thing lasts for 18+ years. It's not a game, and it's not for kids. Especially when the parents are still in school, and they need to work on their career. They need to use the rest of their teenage years to be carefree and enjoy what they have left.

well, i disagree with teenage pregnacy as it is an unlawful thing to do. I doupt when ur a teenager, you would be mature enough to think what ur doing. Maybe after "s" ( can we say it ? ), then u might consider your wrong deeds and may want to repent. So i would doupt pre-marritage "s" and teenage pregnancy.

teenage pregnacy is somewhat lack of awareness about what is the outcomof their doings that result into unpraparedness bcoming a parents And I think in order this situation is prevented or can be handle properly Parent can play important role of bringing their children into corect way and teach them,the outcome if they do these and that things. have understand what is the real score or problem of their children guide them not suffucating them let them explore the world with their guide Into this way teeners might aware un fully understand their doings and maybe can prevent such like this kind of situation and if this happen they will fully resposible of what they did. and i think they will make precaution already.

It happens, its what happens afterward that is more important. I say good for him and the girl for taking responsibility for their actions. I believe that a baby is a gift from God. I was once a pregnant teen, I had the baby, I finished school, I got a job and an apartment. I took responsibility for what I did. My son is now 29 yrs. old and has 4 kids of his own. I don't recommend having kids when you are a teenager, but it does happen. I hope for that boy and girl that their families are there for them.

personally, i disagree with teenage pregnancy for various reasons... first of all, they are still in the process of growing up and becoming adults themselves... so how can a person who is still growing take care of another human being that is growing as well???... secondly, their bodies might not be ready yet to deliver the baby as they are still so young... finally, they are definitely not financially stable yet as they are still depending on their parents to support them at that age... also, emotionally they are not that stable yet... that's why i would prefer not to become a mother that early until i feel that i am ready... take care and have a nice day...

They are just kids themselves, and they are not ready for the responsiblity of parenthood. At 16 they can barely get a minimum wage job, have a driver's license, so where are they going to live? With his parents, or her's. Putting more of a burden on their parents, who will help raise that child. Of course, all of us (taxpayers) will be helping foot the bill for these unplanned babies also, through welfare. They can't wait to become a dad or a mom, and yet they don't have the slightest clue of how expensive it is to raise a child these days, let alone who is footing the bill for the pre-natal care and hospital delivery. Sorry, but they need to finish school, have a normal high school years, not trying to raise a child.

i have teenagers (girls) i would prefer them not to get pregnant yet but to do well at school and make a future for themselves. If anyone of my girls did get pregnant early, i would be there for them and stand by them always, with help and support. I could never agree to abortion though...after all its murder

it sometimes to as no one could separate them despite of their age.

hi,maximax8,there are many situations like that around us.as a parent,you have much more responsiblity than before.you will meet some difficulties that you couldn't think.it's easier to saying than actually doing.i disagree this way.it's bad for their children,too.
