Question

ok im doing this 5 page essay about teen pregnancy and I want to have a section on what real people think about it. like if its lack of info and stuff like that.

Answer 1

HEY I HAVE NO KIDS BUT I THINK THAT SOME THESE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE TO QUICK TO JUDGE
RATHER THAN SHUT THE HELL UP AND LOOK AT THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT SOMEPEOPLE GO THROUGH

NO BODY IS PERFECT AND EVERYONE NOT FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE OR BE GIVING THE UNDERSTANDING SOMEPEOLE ARE RAPED, SOME ARE MENTALLY UNSTABLE SOME ARE JUST IRRESPONSIBLE,SOME DO IT SEEKING LOVE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HAD
BUT WHO AM I OR WE AS PEOPLE TO JUDGE THEM NOONE
AND SOME PEOPLE WHO REPLIED THE TENNIS CHICK FOR EXAMPLE SHUT THE HELL UP BECAUSE WE DIDNT ASK U WHAT U WOULD DO
AND YO *** GOT TO BE STUPID YO DAMN SELF FOR POSTING SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT TAKES A WEAK UNHAPPY ***** TO TRY TO CALL OUT SOMEONE ELSE WHOM SHES KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT

BUT BELEIVE EVERY WORD U SET OUT YOU WILL EAT
BUT BACK TO MY POINT THIS IS LIFE
ANF EVERYONE MESSES UP
BUT PEOPLE ONLY FAIL THEMSELVES WHEN THEY DONT GET BACK UP

SO PLEASE DONT JUDGE LOOK AT ALL THE CURCUMSTANCES BECAUSE WHAT PEOLE TELL US IS THE CURRENT BUT WE MAY NEVER KNOW THEIR PAST
SO JUST BE THERE IF U CAN FOR SUPPORT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND NO NEGATIVE OPINIONS TO HIDE.

Answer 2

I think it's a case by case thing. You may have a 16 year-old mother with lots of support, who's mature and raises a healthy child. You can also have a 22 year-old whose married, lacks support, and the desire to raise a child correctly, and that child could end up a diliquent. I would say that if we spent more time encouraging adoption vs abortion we may be better off. Adoption almost has a stigma of irresponsibility, whereas it's truly the opposite. Abortion is something some girls just will not consider as an option, so they have the child, and don't spend enough time considering adoption. I belive teen pregnancy is something that's not going to go away, so we should educate about all the options.

Answer 3

i think there is a misconception that comes with the term "teen pregnancy" people don't recognize the difference between planned and unplanned. I was a teen mom by choice, but i was not a 14 year old kid who didn't know the father or was in school or on drugs. I was 18, married and my son was very much planned and wanted. still my age puts me in that grand statistic of "teen mothers" that is usually negatively conotated. There are many mom's out there in their later teens that are married, in college, or just choose to put having a family before having a career even though that has almost become taboo in the last few decades. But we will always be judged by those who waited longer to have kids.

Answer 4

When I was 16 a friend of mine got pregnant. At that point she had pretty much quit school and was heading toward a alcohol/drug filled life. After she found out she was pregnant she quit smoking, drinking, the drugs everything. Started going to school and graduated high school 3 years later. She went on to medical school and recently graduated. She would not have done any of it if she didn't have the eye opening experience of having a baby. Her and her son struggled to make it the whole time she was in school by themselves but I think it made her a stronger person. Sometimes we make big mistakes at a young age that will change everything but sometimes the consequences are exactly what we need to make the rest of our lives better.

Answer 5

I don't think it matters if the teen is married or not, that's not the issue here, it's really wheather they are mature enough to give up their school, work, life to care for a baby full time and most teens aren't.
I don't think it's a topic everyone should encourage, teens should be going to school and getting an education, not getting pregnant and become just another statistic high school drop out, now single mother.

Answer 6

Well I am 26 now, but did get pregnant with my first at 17 and had her at 18. It was hard, but my husband and I have been married 8yrs. and have two kids now. We are doing great, own our own house, new car, but I would say we just now got in a good place financially. It is hard to start out so young, but it can be done and teens can be great parents if they are willing to give their lives up for their children's at least until their children get older. I love being a young mother, but warning to all teens who are trying to get pregnant on purpose, I was on of them 8yrs. ago, it is hard work, it's not all fun, but yes it is rewarding, just be prepared for all the work that's goes along with being a mother or father at any age. And it is very expensive you will be spending every last penny on your child. If I could go back and wait until I was older, I would not do it, I love being a mommy even if I never get a break.

Answer 7

It depends on the situation. I think teens (someone under 18) can be capable of raising a baby but if they don't have support it makes it more difficult. I think its sad but when a young girl steps up to the plate ( and I don't mean pass the child on to mom) and devots their life to the child it is ok. On the other hand I think it is very selfish if they are just running around having sex and not thinking of consequences...which is usually the case.....i believe it begins with the parents having a relationship with the child and not just one day popping up saying "don't have sex!".....they need to build a bond and explain the consequences of sex. Then it would prevent a lot of unwanted pregnancies. Life is difficult as it is...don't make it more difficult by bringing a baby in to the world while you are still a baby yourself!

Answer 8

I don't think most teens are mature enough to have children. Some thinks THINK they are mature enough but ask the same person 10 years later whether they were mature enough to take on parenthood. In your teens you are still learning your place in life, you're not usually financially independent and still changing a lot. Why not wait until you have more to offer your child if you can.

Answer 9

I think teen pregnancies ruin lives of all involved.

People should wait until they are old enough and mature enough to care for another human being! I waited until I was 30 and I'm so glad that I did. I can't imagine having kids in the prime of my life.

Answer 10

In this day and age it is not really a lack of information because there is instant access to all kinds of things on the internet. A lot of it has to to with being rebellious, and thinking that pregnancy won't happen to them.
