Answer 1

Well I got pregnant at 18 and had my son when I was 18, When I found out that I was pregnant I was like what am I going to do, I don't have a job I just ogt out of school. Thank god the father was there to help me, and he still is. It is awsome being a teen parent because just think of it this way you will be able to grow old with your child. I love every minute of being a mommy. I think anyone who wants to get an abortion is wrong because it is murder, and you know I think it is wrong. See this is how I see it, if you are old enough to spread your legs you are old enough to take care of the responsibilities that come with it.

Answer 2

I got pregnant with my daughter when I was 16 and had her a month after I turned 17 (she's 12 now)and I wouldn't change it for the world. Was it rough being a junior in HS and pregnant? Yes. Was it as bad as I thought it would be? No, because I had a supportive family and the father stuck around ( and is STILL around and the father to our son as well).
I can still remember dealing with a colicky baby while trying to get ready for Homecoming and having to jet off to the nurses office 2 times a day to pump milk for my baby during school but everyone was so supportive, it really helped.
I'm glad I never had an abortion.. I can't imagine my life without this beautiful young lady being here- she has brought so much joy and I'm proud to be her mom.
I think being a teen parent is what you make of it. If you drop out and sit on your butt collecting welfare then you will never make your child proud of you. I'm glad to say I did it on my own, finished school, have a career and own a home. Parenting at any age is hard and I don't recommend having a baby as young as I did but I am proof that things can work out well...

I was 14 when I got pregnant and had my son 2 months before my 15th b-day. I was scared but didnt want to have an abortion or give my baby up I guess since the father stuck around and worked I knew he would take care of the expenses. I finished school early. In fact I was able to do all 4 years of high school in 1 1/2 years . I got married at 15 1/2 and graduated shortly after that. at 16 1/2 I started college at night 2 nights a week so I could work on becoming a nurse. and ended up pregnant with my second child around that time which was 16 1/2. Luckily I was able to cope and didnt need help from the gobvernment. I was also lucky that my mother made sure that I graduated and not drop out of school. Not all teenagers are able to cope being teen moms and are no where near able to financially provide for a child. I love it that I had my kids young because I have always been able to play with them and now I also have grandchildren and what is so neat is that I am still young enough to play with then too. I did have two abortions in my life and one was right before I got pregnant with my second child. I was already married and taking the pill so I wouldnt get pregnant and still did and at that time we couldnt afford another baby and I just didnt feel right. So I was lucky enough to be able to have an abotion. The second abortion that I had was when I was 25 and had an IUD and I guess it moved or something because I became pregnant and since I was no longer married and was going out quite abit truthfully I had no idea who the dad was between 2 different guys and neither one of them would of made a good father either and I was in no possition to have another baby.so I opted to have an abortion.I know people say that girls should put thier babies up for adoption if they dont want them . There are already to many babies on this planet that are already waiting to be adopted so why continue to incrase the population. and then there is always the trama the child suffers when finding out that he or she was adopted. Some mothers I would think also have abortions because they just dont feel right about the pregnancy like somthing is wrong. Abortions shouldnt be used as a form a birth control either but just because they shouldnt doesnt mean that they maother cant get one if she wants to . No one should have control over another persons body and what they prefer to do with it. I loved being a teen parent but I was able to cope and I finshed school and didnt have to get any support from the government. Not every teen who gets pregnant will be able to cope but there are also women over 21 who become pregnant and shouldnt have. I have seen plenty of women over 30 even who are the worlds worst mothers. Being a teen mother she si able to play with her kids and usually have alot more patients and older mothers usually have less paitients with thier chidren. If I had it to do all over again I would. Me and my boys get along really well. I never had to spank them and they always come to me when they have problems because I could still relate with them I guess.. What ever the reason it is it really doenst matter. The only thing that matters is that I am proud of my oys and love them dearly

alot of teenage mother's aren't as mature as you have been. I deliver you alot of credit score! I used to be sixteen while I had my son and obtained married, we lasted 6 years and had a different while I used to be 19. I used to be a keep at house mother, my husband made adequate for me to stick house, however I had no lifestyles rather than him and youngsters. I am 2d time married with two extra children and in my forty's and simply now in a position to return to institution and paintings and feature a lifestyles now the youngsters are adult. I overlooked alot and now too historic to do alot of matters I desired to do. There is age limits on careers, I love my children greater than lifestyles, however I want I could have waited!
