I think it is extremely sad that this young girl is going to miss out on what should be the most fun and carefree days of her entire life. After high school and college, she has the rest of her life to be responsible--why throw it all away now. A baby is not a toy--it is a living, breathing miracle that demands constant attention. I would take this girl to a Planned Parenthood and have one of thier counselors speak with her--it's confidential.

Well, you can't change it once it happens, but it's something that will last a lifetime, and change alot of people's lives.
There are alot of questions to be asked. Like where were the parents during this fiasco? Are the parents going to be supportive, as they need to be? Are there finances for the child, and pregnancy? Who's going to support the child? What is going to happen with school?
If the parents and children have been this irresposible to lead up to the event-- then how resposible will they be in the future?
Anyway, all the questions in the world are meaningless without the right answers. The 14 year old needs help in every way she can get it. Parents, with School, assistance Programs, Church, the boy and his family, ect.
Children having children in this new age, just doesnt work. With school and the jobforce, it's impossible to raise a child at that age. It's going to take a huge team effort, and of course good health care. Also, 14 is no age to try to step up and be mature in making sound choices for another human life. Those big choices are going to have to be made, or assisted by an adult.
It used to be that you had a family of 12 by the time you were 18. Those days are long gone. In today's world, it just wont work.

I am 14 and i personally fell that it is way too young. You are getting involved at wrong time. Baby's need time, care and nourishment, especially a caring enviornment. You have school to finish, which means actually finish it. They cost money and I bet you may not have a job yet. Trying to juggle work and hwk. is not easy so rethink this whole pregnancy thing! Do your parents know?? I bet they would be dissapointed. Whatever you do don't leave the baby on your parents but don't drop out of school and whoever the guy is, make sure he is committed to responsibility because he is definitely a PART OF THIS. WHY DID U DO IT.

I wouldn't look down upon her... or judge her... because I was 14 too.... I had my own pregnancy scares when I was 14 (thank god I was just late, but always got my period after a couple weeks!!). But, I do feel bad that she will miss out on her teenage years (by that I mean, going on dates with boys and things like that... because teenage boys typically dont want to date "moms" and the boyfriends we have at 14 are most likely not going to be the ones we end up marrying) But I would have nothing against her.

I feel the parents are not involved enough in their child's life. These days, kids have way too much time alone (without parental supervision) and tend to get into things like sex, drugs and other things that 14 year olds of my day (late 1970s) did not. I do not judge the 14 year old, I feel sorry for her and for the child she carries. Her life is just starting and already, she is responsible for another life, unless she wisely places the child up for adoption.

Well i wudnt judge her or label her because i dont know the situation.But i think it is very young and its better to have children once u have finished ur education so you can get a good job and then make money to look after the children. Im 14 hehe well in a week =D

I dont think that its right for such a young girl to be having a baby herself. At 14 yrs old you shouldnt be having sex in the first place.

its not good cause you can't get a job to support that baby so while your at school your parents will have to look after and pay for everything and when i say everything i mean like diapers,bottles,clothes, doctors or unless your on medicaid or something so its not a good outlook plus you can't go out with your friends anymore and have a good time.

way too young. unless she is somehow able to balance having a child and going to school, i would suggest adoption. also, she should definitely tell her parents and the father of the child because they might be very supportive and would probably help with the baby if she decided to keep it. i do feel sorry for her and hope that everything works out ok.
