I hope I don't come across as rude with this but this a toughy for me to answer....I agree that yes teens are not ready for the responsibilty of parenthood but it also takes two to get pregnant....I say this with a grain of salt because I myself was a teen mom I'm not 35 years of age and I had my son when I was 18 and he is now 17 I raised him and kept him...It wasn't easy but I also felt that if I was responsible enough to say yes then I was responsible enough to take on my responsibilty I pondered giving him up for adoption as I was adopted myself....But I had great love and support from my family and I matured real quick and grew up fast....If I could change it I would but I don't regret keeping my son for a minute.

that's the point, kids doesn't think of the consequences of their actions and end up regretting the action they have done but it's to late for doing it ..

always bear in mind that we can never control our children in their action what can we do is to give them the best advice that we can give.every individuals eventually will end up in marrying and live in their own life with their love ones,but this teen only face it at the early stage of their lives.they just being advanced on what is not supposed to be happened.

There is currently a program called 'Underage and Pregnant'. The girls range from 14 years to 17 years old. The girls have been in a relationship and they end up getting pregnant. I think it is better that the teenager has her baby and becomes the best mom she can than she has an abortion. Pregnancy and early parenthood can make a teenager grow up very quickly. Some teens think all there is to it would be pushing a pram. They don't think of the constant feeding day and night of a young baby, the crying and the needing to settle the baby, the diaper changing, the bathing and getting the baby dressed. Some teens are supported by their own mom and that helps. Some teen moms live in a hostel and learn to become a good mom. It is possible for the teen to continue her education in her twenties. Teen pregnancy is not ideal but if it happens the baby deserves a happy life. When I was a teenager I liked working as a children's nanny. I didn't have my own child until I was 22 years old.

I think that teenagers that are pregnant or that already have children are irresponsible. The reason that I feel this way is because they aren't even prepared to take care of themselves and then they bring a child into the world to take care of and then there are two people that aren't really properly taken care of. That said, I do think that there are exceptions to every rule and that there are some teenagers that are ready to take care of a child and turn out to be very good parents.

i think that nowadays there is no reason for young girls to be pregnant bcs there are many ways to avoid that. anyway this happens bcs most part of times they forget to use this ways to avoid :) they dont think in what they do. most part are still irresponsible. this is a big problem when it happens bcs sometimes their bfs leave them bcs sometimes they dont want this to affect their lives so they prefer not to think about what happened and let it behind. other times both take the responsibility taking care of the baby but sure their lives change completely. they need to find a job also sometimes they leave school for it unless both study and have a part time job. anyway this is something that can be avoided nowadays so teens just have to control themselves and dont forget those ways we have to avoid the worst ahah^^
