Children having Babies?

Question

I read alot on this yahoo answers because some stuff is interesting to me. What I dont understand these youg girls Im talking 11-14 yrs of age asking how am I going to tell my parents Im pregnant? Why are these young children even messing with sex and then they do it knowing the consequences and cry because they got pregnant. What ihas happend to childrens innosence? Do these kids even realize they are to young to work, or drive a car even so how do they plan on taking care of this baby? Its sad because they make the mistakes and parents have to pay and so do us tax payers(welfare).

Answer 1

i totally agree and i am 14

Answer 2

The parents probably wanted their young girls to get pregnant, that way, the older parents dont have to pay out insurance. These young girls can get on welfare, for both of her and the baby. And have it made. Yes they still live at home, welfare checks coming in each month along with medical thats paid.A transit bus to take them here and there. Or the parents were so gulliable believeing their little sweetheart ( when they were lieing) about who they were with and they did not know this could of happen,Or you have parents who are not home with their younger children, and they just dont care.


No it does not FEEL good to have sex. I dont care what the person above me says, SEX itself is a big joke to alot of people. There is no pleasure in pain,especially a young girl.Either these girls are forced to have sex or simply they dont know what it is.

Answer 3

i am 25 years old and i have a 10 year old son i got pregnant when i was 14 and believe me if my parents where a little bit in this world they would have told me something i have these parents that dont talk about sex dont tell you anything when i first got my period at 9 my mother made it seem like someone was doing something to me and thats why i was bleeding. I really believe that if anyone would have told me anything about sex i probably would have never been in that situation believe me i love my son to death but i think things would have gone a little bit differently. I have overpowering parents who basically want you to be locked up in a house all day. i dont know just my opinion but i think sometimes the fault falls on the parents also.

Answer 4

I hear you girl. I soooo hear you. I'm 26 and I remember being in the 6th grade and seeing girls that were pregnant in my own class. 6th grade!

It's a proven fact that human brain stops developing in the early 20's. Teenagers can rarely see past what they want and how they feel due to the bombardment of hormones surging through their bodies all the time.
There are lots of reasons why young girls start having sex. There's pressure from friends and little boys. There's again, the hormone factor and kids are acting out on them. You also have to remember the mental reasons.
For example, a girl that has a bad relationship with her father or no father around at all end up messing around at a young age because she's subcontiously looking for that male figure in her life.
Some girls have extreamly low self esteem and they feel that if they do what they "think" someone wants them to do then someone will like them. Alot of them confuse sex with love when they are'nt the same thing.
These girls want to fit in and be accepted. These girls are missing something out of their lives and are seeking it through sex.
These girls can't see past what they want and don't concider concequences untill it's too late.

How can it change? It actually starts with the parents. Being more involved in their childs life. It takes the dad to be more of a role model for his daughter and letting her know on a REGULAR basis on how special she is and how he's proud of her and how beautiful she is. When a young girl is fulfilled at home she won't look for what she's missing through sex.

Answer 5

I totally agree BUT the parents are the fault 9 out of 10 times! How the heck is an 11 year old out of pocket or alone long enough unsupervised long enough to have sex! I can assure you when my daughter gets "of age" I will keep her at arms length and tell her about the birds and bee's. Times are different I know and there are such things as being to strict but I doubt that's the issue here

Answer 6

ditto. I know exactly what you mean. What are these parents doing to protect their kids and telling their kids what can happen if you have sex at a young age. When i was their age i was eatting ice cream and chaising butterflys. NOT HAVING SEX!! i didn't even think about sex or anything like that. I had boy friends, but nothing that lasted more then a couple days. and the biggest thing at that age was holding hands! Whats wrong with these kids?!?!?

Answer 7

It is sad but i cant critize cause i had a kid when i was 16 but sometimes a bad home situation can lead to young girls not feeling loved and wanted and so they turn to sex to make them feel better and then they have very serious consequences. some girls also think that having a baby will give them something to love but a new baby is only fun for awhile and then it is a full time job and not a joy

Answer 8

It is really quite sad. I think that parents are just absent from their child's life way too much. These girls need their father's attention while they are young so they don't look for that attention elsewhere and then end up in trouble. Parents are also neglecting to educate their children regarding sex and the consequences of it.

Answer 9

well I am 24 mother of 3 i didnt have my first kid till i was 18. But i was trying to get pregnate when i was 13. Lucky for me it never happened. When i was younger i always wanted to start having kids as soon as it was physicaly able and keep having them one after another till it was physically impossalbe. I wanted like 30+ kids. lol on me now i'm pulling my hair out over 3 !!! but i do still want more just not 30 i think 6 would be a good number. lol so far thou no luck! anyway, i think kids just dont think. it feels good to have sex and to feel as if they are wanted (even if its just for a min or two) many parents both work and dont have time for their kids anymore and the kids feel alone. (thats how i felt)

Answer 10

I am not sure! I have ask the same question over and over. But only thing i come up with is where are the parents and what kind of family life do they have. For the very young i think is a way of getting affection, but i am just guessing.

Answer 11

Just so you know I got pregnant at 16 & finished school, and raised my son with out help from anyone but his father. Also his father & I are now married, and we know have a daughter also. we've been together 5 years It can be done if you are responsible enough for your actions and work hard. Young people fall in love adn sometimes they're sexually active. What they need is support from their parents to be able to talk to them and access to birth control. and birth control options and to know that it's ok to say no.That's what I needed, but no regrets I love my babies.
