Being a mother at the age of 14-16 .

That seems to be the new thing. I blame parents for not making the outcome clear. When I was 12 I babysat for a small child and had younger cousins. I was more than happy to be done with the tasks at hand when that time came. No way would I have wanted to do anything that may result in a child of my own. I am proud to say it was 17 before I even thought about risking it. I am also 31 with no children of my own and still happy about it :)

I agree with you. It so sad to see so many young girls having kids at that age. They now have a lot of responsibility. They now are force to grow up fast. And I often feel bad for the children who are raised by their kid parents themselves.

Yeah, i see those situations in some documentaries too. It is not very shocking to me, since most of our teens are like that.. even some of my neighbors are like that. The reason for this is that the have nothing else to do and get into relationships at such an early age.. it is really bad for the girl's body though, since her body is not yet ready to give birth.

This kind of things are not seldom heard, in almost every city and every town, those dramas happens again and again. They have definitely creat problems for themselves, their parents and their babies. Only thing they should not do is to produce more babies. One is enough for them at this stage of life. The young parents shall focus on getting a day time job to less the burden of family.

hello, friend.this news is very unique.A girl has become a mother at the age between 14-16.I am surprised to read your topic.What an amazing and explosive information it is!Today's world is so open to all people, and it is quite abnormal.but I doubt that how old is her husband?may his age is between 10-16 or very senior?I also express doubt about the outcome of such marriage?honestly speaking, this topic is very interesting/

Thats too young for girls to have babies. My daugfhter struggles somehwat and was 18 when here baby was born. It is tough to raise a child nowdays, almost double what it was in expense as 10 years ago.

there was a time as well like this in the country where young girls are being married off to wealthier older women... and i guess that made them pregnant at such a young age too.. but what is happening right now to these kids are actually alarming because they are not afraid to try anymore - with no worries of being pregnant and being too absorbed in the "relationship"... thinking that it is really easy to start a family.. young parents often are very idealistic and is always thinking of the positive things in everything, right? but of course reality is very different from what we know and it would eventually take a toll. I was also watching a documentary of this too where a young couple, only 13 and 14 are pregnant and that the young mom delivered to a pre-mature baby because she was on her puberty herself so it was a bit hard for her body to cope up and thus the baby was a bit small too...

Yup!It's really alarming that many teens today are most likely experience pregnancy at their young ages

Teenagers do have outrageous hormones that they come to a point of forgetting the reality of everything. I do not want girls at 14 to be getting pregnant and giving birth simply because they are not yet in the right mind to handle such responsibilities and the are not mature enough to decide on things. That is why as parents, we should be cautious of our teenagers' actions and friends. We do not need to be really strict with them. We just need to reach out to them so that they will not be afraid to o0pen up and all their questions will be answered by us and not from their friends who gets it from other friends.

This is not good to become a mother on 14 to 16 age at least girls should more than 18 because at least mother can care the child and in this age 14 to 16 the girl ownself a child.

hi, its really hard to be a mother in that young age because i have a cousin who were pregnant and delivered in that young of age,she actually at 16 year old and i dont know how can she survived because she is still studying.why more young girls or even boys explore that even it is really hard in real life.

Well, it is not good when they are being a mother at the age of 14-16. They have to face to many problems since they have to ask support from their parents as well as have not much life experience to care a baby. One more, their future maybe closed, no study more since they are busy with kids

I think this tradition has come down in this new generation. Earlier days, girls used to get married at the age of six or eight itself and they have to take care of the family also; this is so disgusting. But now, it has changed. As you said, you can still find 14 years old mothers, who are nurturing babies instead of studying and enjoying life.

This is not so new to us nowadays here in the 3rd world countries. I am 30 and i have a 2year old boy, and there were times when I find it really difficult to raise a child. Its hard even if my husband is supporting me all the way, how much more to these young girls without even finishing high school and jobless? It breaks my heart hearing this kind of news or seeing these teenage moms out there.

when i read this i think that this is so sad and that these girls see babies as toys or objects that there friends have and they want one. They are still children thereselves and ultimatly you have to blame their parents.

You are right. What is important right now is to they need to move forward. They need acceptance, to the people around and most of all, to their family. Past is past and we should not let them feel that they are the only ones be blame. They need to move on and they need others support. My wife and I, met during our late 20's and if ever we have daughters in the future, I will inculcate in their heads the value of focusing things - like first thing first. Study, work, earn and baby - make it sure that this is in order.

In my country especially in the rural areas teenage mother are very common. Yes it is very alarming because their body are not yet ready to carry a child in their womb and its very dangerous for their health yet its happening. We adults if we have a daughter,niece or cousin in their teenage age we need to guide them properly and try our best to educate them about the possible effects of teenage pregnancy to their health, body and future. And for those teenage mother we need to guide them and teach them how to take care their child and how to become more responsible.

I have to agree. It is very sad to see people having children that young. The way I think of it if you are dumb enough to do that that young than its your own fault. I mean cant they realize that they could and most likley will get pregnant doing that? Their parents I believe are also at fault for not teaching their kids about not doing that unless they want a baby. This generation is off to a bad start i must say.
