for the most part it depends on the person. but most teen parents don't have a lot of education, a home, a job with benefits, experience, or maturity.
you really need to be able to provide a safe and stable home for your child and most teens couldn't do this alone without the help of parents or loved ones.
also the older you are the more you will learn about raising children. i learned the most about babies in my college social work classes. i couldn't imagine what kind of parent i would be if i hadn't learned the things that i did. i would have been clueless without them.

Probably worse. They aren't usually mature enough and lack the patience at least for the first few years. Also, I don't imagine many would have a husband that makes enough money to support the wife and children. As in other things, there might be a few exceptions.
I don't mean to sound cruel and I don't even know if this was made up, but the spelling on here Really needs correcting Why do people say DIS ??? It is THIS. DA ??? should be THE U should be YOU 4 should be FOR SAFEING should be SAVING GOD'S or Good? children.
Are you thanking teen mothers that didn't have abortions? Again, I'm not trying to be rude.

Worse, what do they know about parenting? Half the time they are rebelling against their own parents, think they can do what they want without consequences and still think that even after having a baby. I feel sorry for a lot of the babies born by a teen mother, especially since most the fathers aren't worth crap as well. But there are some responsible ones out there, who have graduated from high school and have a stable life along with a father who will provide and their family to fall back on if need be.
But for most, I hate to see the next generation of crackwhore, poor upbringing children by s.luts and drug/alcohol abusers. I feel sorry for those kids having to live that unstable life. Hope that moment of pleasure was worth the now lifetime of raising a child. If they even do that properly.
But god job for the responsible parents who have children at a young, stable time in their life.

Teen mothers can make great parents, depending on maturity level. For all you people who think differently, years ago women got married and started having children as early as 12 or 13. Times have changed since then, but teens are still capable of raising wonderful kids. It has nothing to do with age, plenty older women make horrible parents.

I was a good teen mum at least i thought i was until my only child of 16 who has been brought up to respect elders be law abiding in a loving caring environment who i know is not mature because she's packed school in and would prefer to be on the dole...she broke my heart yesterday by telling me she no longer wants to live with me because i make her come in at 10.30 pm she said I'm pathetic and she's chose to live with a family that has no rules the mum just sits on her backside lets her kids break the law have under age unprotected sex drink alcohol and smoke cannabis she's opened up her home like a youth club and she has a one year old child there who does not know who her own mum is and has fallen downstairs on numerous occasions had cigarette burns.. and i can't do a thing about it because the law in Britain is bollocks...

It depends on the maturity level of the woman in question. I am 21 with two beautiful babies, 16 months and 5 months. No government help, going to college, and we do very well for our children. I feel my husband and I make much better parents than alot of older couples we know, in their 30's and 40's. I'm glad that I'm young enough to keep up with them and to be able to relate to the issues they will eventually have in school. I thank god for my children every day and I don't think I'm too young!

You cannot say if a teen mum is going to be good or bad just because they are young. Yes, they suddenly have to grow up quickly but then an older person who has their first child can be a good or bad mum. Age does not enter the equasion in this matter.

Some teens aren't babies..Some are very mature. Most-are not ready for the responsibility. To answer your question about judgement...I think everyone will make a judgement on teenage pregnancy in todays society. It sucks, because some will be amazing parents, but it's just the way it is.

that depend on the teen, is she a good girl or a wild girl. Sometimes they will take responable for their actions and change their lifestyle. You can't really say, the girl could have been wild but change to talk care of her baby. Sometimes the older one have troubles too. It just depend on how she was raise, her current lifestyle, etc
