i am mature, it just sickens me to see girls pregnant. i really feel sorry for their baby because instead of a mom, the baby gets to be taken care of by a girl young enough to be their sister

girls wanting to get pregnant because they think its "cute" is not mature! trust me! this is the reason why girls are getting pregnant at my school.

I don't think they are - sure, there are some teenagers who cope fine with parenthood, but in general I think it is a very immature thing to do falling pregnant at such a young age.

I can't say all preg teens are more mature than the others but a vast majority of them are. Now, they may have made a bad decision by having sex unportoceted or otherwise - but does that make them any less of a better person or any less mature? No.
The reason I believe being pregnant makes you more mature is because you are faced with endless responsibilities, and no way to go back and fix it. What's done is done. You have no choice but to grow up and face what it comming. You are going to be the nurturer to someone else. You are going to care for another life above your own. A lot of preg teens realize this, and that is what makes them mature. They are facing parenthood. Which believe me, is no easy feat.
The maturity issue in all of this is being accountable for your actions, taking responsibility.....Other teen girls don't have anywhere near the choices to make, or responsiblity to take care of...so how can they be more mature when they have never faced something of this aptitude? There biggest problems are thier grades, clothes, and which boy is asking them out. A mother has so much more to tend to.
I know, because I got pregnant at 17, got married when I was 18. Now I am almost 21, and I see I missed out on a lot. But to me it was worth it. Yeah, I grew up a lot faster than some other girls, but so what? Look at what I have. I wouldn't trade my 2 kids for the world.
FYI for the one that said something about having one with a 2 yr old. My son will be 2 in dec, my daughter will be 1 in nov. And even though things were hard. I, myself, WOULD do it over again. Don't speak on something you know nothing about.

The pressure of soon becoming a teen mother may make them have to grow up real quick like. They may be worried and stressed out about the baby coming into their lives. This alone could make them seem more mature. The sad fact is, teen mothers have a very difficult road ahead of them. Being a young mother along with the pressure and emotional instability of just being a teenager is a tough thing to handle.

Are you kidding me? You can't tell me that a 10 or 11 year old are mature. Even at 16 they aren't mature or they wouldn't be in that situation to begin with.
Sure babies are cute but you have the responsibility to take care of the once they are here. Not an easy task!!!
If after they have their baby they are still going out with there friends instead of taking care of their baby that just shows how immature they really are!!

You've answered your own question. If they were mature they wouldn't be pregnant. I'm assuming that the majority were not planning it, anyway! Getting knocked up is not a sign of maturity. many people think having sex is a way of showing you're an adult, but sex is a natural instinct so the urge is automatic. Controlling that urge and being responsible - that's where maturity comes into it.

What the point? Once they have thier children, they have no choice but to be mature and grow up fater than most girls are age. Im not a teen now but I WAS a teen mom and I find myself to be way more mature than most of my friends. All younger mothers are like that. You dont even know the situation, she could have been raped, she could have been tricked by some no good man, You dont know it, so thats wrong to say they were so damn mature to get pregnant in the 1st place. Know the fu cking facts b4 u judge.

They think they're mature because they're being brave enough to keep the baby. But that's just a cheap façade. They're just as immature as the rest of 'em — and then some.

Pregnant teens ?! Hell no, that's the moment when they just show off...; unfortunently they WILL be more mature than the other teens when they'll actually have the baby and see how difficult it is to be a mother

No, because they relaly don't know what its like being a mother yet and they usually want to go out and have fun, but They can't because they are a parent now the first thing that comes first is that child and nothing else.

Maybe they act like it because they just learned the REALLY hard way by making a big mistake. Maturity comes from learning and evolving emotionally and taking responsibility for the actions and decisions you make.
Not adding up your birthdays or having your period. You sound pretty immature yourself, maybe you have been bitten by the green eyed monster. Hmmmm?

no they are not, they just have a huge responsibility handed to them and have no choice about looking after it. If you were to ask any pregnant teen, or better one with a 2 year old if they had the choice all over again I do not thinl they would choose pregnancy
