teenage pregnancy

I think that the teenage years are not the most ideal time to get pregnant. Ideally a lady should wait until her mid twenties to get pregnant but in life there can be surprises. I think that if a teenager gets pregnant she could still carry on with her education. It would be excellent if she has a supportive and understanding family. I think becoming a parent in the teenage years can make a young person become responsible and grow up quickly. However a teenager might be frightened to tell her parents and she might get told that an abortion is in her best interests. I would suggest that she alters her life to become a loving parent or she considers adopting her baby. The innocent baby wouldn't deserve to be aborted. I say well done to any teenager that becomes a responsible and loving parent. In particular it wouldn't be easy to become a single mother at sixteen years old. However with help from family and friends a teenager could become a good parent. I admire a teenage male that stays with and supports his teenage pregnant girlfriend. When the parents are thirty eight years old the child will be grown up.

Hi there Well talking about teenage pregnancy I think it is a result of too much exposure of the teenagers to mature world. And because of their curiosity they tried to do it what is should be done only by married couples. In case of teenage pregnancy I think a girl who got pregnant during her teenage life should accept and take the responsibility that she has. The boy who is responsible about it should also support the girl for they both have responsibility for what they've done. Killing the baby or abortion is not a solution.

My mom gave birth to me when she was 19 years old , just now i turned to 20 and she is 39 still, she got married at 17 and a half years old .It was all arranged by her parents , it was a arranged marriage .If it was this case no one can help , my mom was too small she had no issues i guess.. but there are teens who just get pregnant by indulging in some other practices which is not at all good , they even get disease , these unplanned pregnancy may lead to their physical and mental stres which will affect the baby too.. i dont know im not too matured , in our place 21 years completed girls can only be married.. so still 1 year more to get married for me lol..

it is not advisable for teens to get pregnent because the responsibilty may be too much for them to handle. it might shatter their dreams this is based on experience

I think that it's a terrible waste of someones life. My fiancee's mum had him when she was 15 and whenever she gets drunk, she tells everyone what a big mistake keeping him was as she hasn't been able to have a life. Sean's little sister is 18 and out of her 7 very close friends, her is one of two that haven't had a baby yet. They all go on about how great it is to be a mum but they are all on benefits, living in council flats/houses, the boyfriends don't have jobs and all they do is sit at home looking after the kids and watching tv. That is not a life for these girls, it's going to be very hard for them to have any sort of lives from now on.

I do not see anything wrong with being a teenage parent. I am a teenage parent I am 18 and I have a 2 year old. I am happy to me a mom. I am still with my baby's father.

I pity them for trying to be grown ups at once. I salute those who go through with it anyway and I pity (again) those who decide to abort the child. In this time and age, there are a lot of ways to prevent getting pregnant. When I hear about teenagers as young as 13 getting pregnant, I can't help but feel disappointed. They should have been responsible to protect themselves. Having a baby is no cup of tea. It is a very big responsibility that can be burdensome to the parents of these teeners.

Its unhealthy. Physically, mentally, economically and Medically.. In some places legally also.

hi nanypabi.. am totally against of it.. because in this age she is not matured.. it is unhealthy.. it will bring physical, medical, mental pressure.. keep posting.. take care and have fun..

teenage pregnancy is very common and rampant nowadays. most teens end up pregnant because they lack attention from their parents and they lack guidance. i think it's really up to the teenager herself how to avoid such circumstances. think about what's going to happen in the future and most importantly the twist it will bring after wards. being a teenage mom is never easy and i consider a big responsibility that most of the youth avoided. as to which, most resulted to abortion and giving out their child because they're aware that they can't do their responsibility as a mom to the child.raising a child is a serious task and needs a lot of preparation.

Raising a child is not easy as it looks like. Being 22, I still feel I don't have what it takes to raise a baby. Many things to consider, I have to mature yet to be competent enough. Being a teenager and having a child doesn't get any easier. I think in those stage, a mother is unsuitable, unprepared and will have to mature faster than any other people of her age.

I think that teen pregnancy is generally a bad idea. A baby is very expensive, and generally a teenager cannot attain work that would adequately take care of a child. However I'm not sure a teenager is ready to make a decision regarding abortion either.

I don't agree of that too.I think teenage are not mature enough even to take care of themselves,not mention to the babies.And it truely bring a lot of problems and great pressure to young girls.So it should get teen's attentions. But i am against killing the babies,i think we don't have the right to do it.If young girls are pregnant accidently,don't too worry about that and be pessimistic. Be strong and ask for help from your parents.They could give you some good advice and help you.

it is illegal. never try it. it will spoil ones life. it is unfaithful to the life partner . it may look cool . but the end will be very hot in hell. yes those who lose their virginity commit greater sin. Only god can forgive.

Teenage pregnancy has been widely practiced in my country. It is indeed a very trembling situation. In fact, our congress has been plotting a bill about this phenomenon. It is really an emerging problem these days. Kudos.

I believe this is one of the most difficult situations a teenager will get into especially if the other party is as young as she is and has nothing when it comes to maturity in handling the situation. THis would be up to the parents to guide the concerned teenager if she gets into a crucial situation like pregnancy. She must be well-guided in order to focus back onto her life...

i think teenage pregancy is always a problem.. it brings both physical and emotional pressure over young girls stupid enough to get there in the first place.. only their parents are to be blamed for giving the right education or taking care of them properly...

well that an issue that most parents have right now so just help them. Be there for them to show them that they're not alone and to let them know that you love them.

If a teen is pregnant not by choice (meaning planned pregnancy) then I know it must be a difficult situation and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I know given the situation, that the teen (and many do) end up finishing school and doing well for themselves and child(ren). But I hate it for them that the road will be much harder. It's hard enough as it is for grown adult women so I imagine it's really difficult for teens. I just wish all teens could just enjoy life, get themselves together and wait to have children.

As my mom always said if you are old enough to have a kid then your old enough to take in all the responsibilities of an adult if you're not then don't even open your legs
