If and if I'll have a daughter in the future that'll tell me that she's 16 and pregnant, I would definitely freak out. I'd be hysterical, freakin mad and go gaga over it. It's a situation wherein as hard as it seems, as mad and devastating it feels as a parent to have your child impregnated so young, I still have no choice but to accept it sooner or later.

I know this is a mature discussion i like to hear comment regarding this topic cause once i asked this to my office mates and i heard lot of reactions . Really its hard to be perfect parent just like theres so such a perfect daughter . I will help her and continue her studies, but make realiaze the resposibilities of being a parent and continue teach the good values that she can pass to her child.

Yeah it is. Being raised in a very conservative home, I'll just get so disappointed and mad if it happens to my child, who doesn't? Its like questioning yourself if you have properly raised your child. But no matter how you feel bad about it over and over, what's done is done. She's pregnant and abortion is not an option. So I'll just have to deal with it and help her throughout her pregnancy and after that as well.

I don't have a daughter but its just a question to me what if ? its really frustrating to parents a big disappointment if you dont help you child for intance you just put here in worst situation just put her in a situation that she can't build a good future not only for her self but also for her child. Still many single parent or early parents who are successful its a drive for them to work hard and achieve more things not for there self but for there child.

My initial reaction would be angry. It's just because I am disappointed at her decision to throw away her youth. 16 is way too young to take on the responsibility of a parent. I'll tell her everything that comes to my mind just to let it all out. One time, big time. I have the right to get mad anyway. It's a consequence of her actions. And then I will try and accept it. She probably is scared like she's never been before and as a mother, I have to be there for her. I will show her that I still love her. I will help her out throughout her pregnancy. But I will not let her baby daddy live with us. If they want to be a family, wait 2 more years when she can marry and they can do whatever they want. But until then, the boyfriend stays put. My daughter and grandchild stays with me. But through it all, I probably would be blaming myself every now and then. Because somewhere down the line, I might have slipped as a parent. I might not have instilled in her the right values. It might take longer for me to forgive myself than to forgive her.
