Answer 1

Honestly, teenage pregnancy is hard on everyone involved. Putting a baby in that situation is unfair and should be avoided. A teenager should be thinking about education and fun, not about making enough money to support a baby....and relying on your parents to do the job for you isn't fair either. It isn't going to get a guy to stay with you, and it isn't going to make you more popular. Babies are hard work. They don't come into this world ready to give you the love and attention you are looking for. They have demands that will leave you drained if you are not mature enough to handle it. Accidents do happen, yes, but if you aren't using protection you shouldn't be having sex. Teenage pregnancy on purpose is not okay. It is either a girl trying to menipulate her way into trapping a guy, or she is longing for someone to give her some kind of love or validation. Having a baby is not the right way to go about that.

Answer 2

Teenae pregnancy on accident could be prevented if a reliable form of birth control was used, Girls now days do not think about getting pregnant or gettings any std's. I personally think teens should not be engaging in sex at this age because of the risks of infection and unwanted pregnancies. That is why soo many innocent children are being aborted because teens think it is an easy form of birth control when they did not use a condom or pills during sex and cant take upon the responsibility of caring for there own actions. Accidents happen yes but if u protect urself well then u will not have this problem. As for teen pregnancy on purpose is ridiculous, babys cannot raise babies. Teens can hardly take care of themselves how can they take care of another life that needs more attention and money then anything else? Teens should be thinking about school,college and there careers before getting pregnant. Soo many girla think having a baby will solve there problems which is not the case, it will just add to them. Either way if a teenager decides to get pregnant having and raising that baby should be number 1..

Answer 3

Having sex is a very serious step in a relationship that is taken very lightly by most teenagers. Pregnancy is one possible side effect but there are many other issues about teenagers having sex including STDs, emotional issues and social issues with 'kids' having 'kids'.

That been said - if someone has fallen pregnant then support is the only option for friends and family - it is too late to change it now so get a grip and get on with the (very big) task at hand.

Teenagers having babies on purpose.... I know that when I was a teenager I had NO idea what it would mean to manage a relationship with a high level of maturity - let alone a BABY too! There are excpetions to the rule but I figure that if you are so sure that you are with 'The One' then there is no harm in waiting a couple of years before stating to add to your family. After all - you need the early years to form a bond with your partner and enjoy the time together before kids come into play.

Answer 4

Either way it's not a good idea, accidents happen but to do it on purpose is foolish. You are only young for so long, you should enjoy it and make something of yourself while you can. One thing that young kids also don't realize is that the younger a girl has a baby, the higher the risks. Risks in birth defects, miscarriage, stillborn or complications that could be fatal to both mother and child.

It's not easy taking care of children even as an adult and it's harder trying to support a family when you don't have a higher education, which makes it difficult getting work. A child needs a mature family and they deserve the best their parents can afford, how can you give them this when your still growing yourself.

Answer 5

I think that teenage pregnancy on purpose is a huge mistake! When you're that young you just don't realize what you're getting yourself into. I know that if I would've gotten pregnant as a teenager, I would've been a mess! As for accidental teenage pregnancy - hey, it happens. I believe that teenagers should definitely use birth control when they're sexually active, including back-up methods just in case. I understand that sometimes it still happens, and in that case, adoption is always a great thing if the mother isn't ready for a baby. This is a difficult question to answer, since I've never been there, but I hope I helped!

Answer 6

I think teenagers are to young to afford a child. I also think that teenage pregnancy has declined. In the 90's their were many teenage pregnancies. But now if your a pregnent teenager people think your crazy. It's amazing how 10 years people change. I remember all these shows about teenage pregnancy. Now its just not cool. Most people realize today, its hard enough to take care of yourself. Maybe kids are getting smarter, I don't know? Or maybe society just goes through fazes or cycles. I think teenagers just want to have fun doing stuff with their friends. Most probably figure they can't do much with a baby. And another thing, what teenage guy do you know, who really wants a baby? Most teenage guys are out with their friend and you can't get them to do anything they don't want to. If your a teenage girl who wants a baby, then you have to ask yourself why. It is probably because you didn't get the attention you wanted growing up. Most girls with their heads on straight finish school and focus on career then marriage. When you do it all backwards you really make it harder...

Answer 7

I think teenage pregnancy (unplanned) happens. In a society where we publicize sex so much we should know that teens are going to have sex--we SHOULD educate these girls better.

Every teen who plans a pregnancy is not just doing it to stay with the guy. I for example--had sex knowing eventually I would get pregnant. I was married, already certified in a subject, and well on my way to my degree. I had a great corporate job--everything was in place. I wanted to have a child so I planned.

You cannot stereotype anything as "good" or "bad." There are just as many "good" conclusions to teen pregnancy as "bad." Not one thing can be generalized--there are all different conclusions, circumstances, and issues behind things that you cannot possibly know by first glance.

Answer 8

Teenagers make mistakes. They're in the midst of a whole bunch of hormones and might not be able to control themselves in the heat of the moment. Still, there should be no excuse for not being prepared, because sex not only causes pregnancy but it spreads STDs.
I have little respect for kids who get pregnant on purpose just to "keep the boyfriend" or "get even with the parents" or because they "need someone to love". They are taking chances with their lives and putting off what would otherwise have been a good future.

Answer 9

I don't think a teenager is ready to have the resposibility of a child. A person should always wait, but if there is an accident where a teen was to get pregnant there is nothing they can do about it now, just face up, and be forced to get prepared. If a teen wants to have a child an dit is on purpose, it's not right. Really are they ready? Do you really think that man as a teenager himself is ready for it? And you are gunna be with him the rest of your life, probably not. Just wait til the timing is perfect.

Answer 10

well on purpose or accident it is not good for your body until you are about 20. But I am AGAINST abortion. I had one and hate myself for it. It is brutal and if you can go threw that, then you can have ten babys. I am still having problems from my abortion and wish it was not an option for anyone. My best friend got preggy at age 14. she had her baby, ans they are doing great. She then got married to the dad and they now have three great kids togeather. She loves those kids and would never give them up for anything. I think it depends on how much love there is in a family.
