Have you been watching 16 and pregnant? What if you'd been pregnant then?

I've been watching 16 and pregnant, and it's very enlightening. I knew that it was difficult to be pregannt at such a young age, but there some things you probably don't really know. This show parallels The Secret Life of the American Teenager, at least as far as the pregnancy aspect, but it's real life.
I was never pregnant at 16. I didn't get pregnant for the first time until I was 22. I'm thinking my mom would have "killed" me if I'd been pregnant at 16. Although, I feel she would have been upset with it, got over it after a while, then we'd go from there. At least, that's what I feel she would have done.

I have been watching that show as well and I think it would have been extremely hard if I was pregnant at the age of 16. My mother would have been very upset with me, but I know she would have later got over it and been there for me through anything. When I was 16 I didn't have anything of my own and I was still living with my mother. I would have been so scared and confused.

I was still living with my parents too. My parents would have had to help me get started, then the rest would have been up to me. I wonder how I would have worked and gone to school if that would have happen. I'm thinking it would have been a lot easier to be homeschooled at that time.

That happens a lot in America.
There are some young girls that get pregnant in their very young age.
It is a terrible thing, and I really feel sorry for them.
I think that If I were them, I would avoid the baby.
Not because I do not love the baby, but because I can not be a good mother for this moment, and it will affect the baby's life.
