Question

Why are there some many young girls from ages 12- 18 asking help im pregnant??? I mean, dont parents teach them about this kind of stuff???

Answer 1

I guess not, and it doesn't help that schools teach abstinence instead of sex ed (safe sex) with condoms.

Answer 2

My parents taught the kids in my family that you have to be responsible for your actions so one of those things would be what do you think will happen to you life if you got pregnant??
I'm 18 now and I have decided that I do not want to be a parent until I'm married and old enough for that kind of responsibility. I have a question.... how do these girls take care of a baby when they are 13 most kids that age cant even do their homework on time??! too many people let their little kids act and dress way too old/revealing which I think is a big part of the problem (my parents still tell me to change if the length of my shorts is even questionably too short ) where are their parents??

also so many people let their daughters date way too old the other day I answered the question "is he too old for me?" she was 14 he was 19 uh yes he is too old! but she "LOVES" him no thats lust ... "and he has a car" well thats not a good reason!young girls do not have the same expectations in a relationship as older girls do and they make bad decisions because of it-they need somone to say you can't date who you want you are too young for him period.

but thats just my opinion.

Answer 3

A lot of times it is not about what has been taught by parents.
1. Boyfriends won't take no for an answer. Essentially the girls are raped and it is never reported.
2.Boyfriends - they are selfish and don't want to mess with protection - it detracts from the act, takes to much time, and won't spend the money to be prepared.
3. The girls want so much to be loved and excepted by their boyfriends, they'll do almost anything for them.
4. Sometimes the girl is afraid of loosing the boy so she become pregnant - to keep a hold on him. Then when he finds out she's pregnant, he drops her like a hot potato.
5. Sometimes the girl gets angry at the parents and thinks "I'll show you." Then wishes she never had.

Answer 4

I would HATE to be a teen girl in these times. First of all the pressure to present yourself in a sexual manner is more prevalent than ever. More and more the media and society in general present the attitude that unless you are sexy you are nothing. Young girls find their sense of self worth wrapped up in their physical appearance. If these girls don't have a strong parental influence then forget it. When I was growing up I was not close to my mom and my dad was the type that made threats rather than talk to me. I was always told that if I turned up pregnant I'd be kicked out. There was no other communication. Just threats. I was once smacked around and called the town whore because a much older guy came to my door looking for a friend of mine. He wasn't there for me but my dad didn't care. The very idea that an older guy came to my door for any reason was enough to set my dad off. When I look back I find it amazing I didn't end up pregnant. I did a lot of things I shouldn't have because I was getting in trouble for it anyway. The accusations were already there. Plus, my dad made comments about women all the time. My idea of self worth was wrapped up in what my dad's idea of what a good woman was. He objectified women so I grew up thinking I was only worthwhile if I looked a certain way and acted a certain way. My dad, being the dolt he is, had no idea that his behavior and threats were only making me act the exact opposite of what he wanted.

Girls need a positive parental influence. They need parents who are willing to communicate. They need parents who will assure them they are there no matter what. They also need to be taught that they are worthwhile just for being who they are and that people respond better to high self esteem and a classy attitude. I try to tell the girls I've worked with that integrity and self esteem is way more attractive then walking around half naked and presenting yourself as easy.Girls need to have a strong sense of who they are and to respect themselves. But, like I said, it is really difficult when we live in a society that glamorizes sluttiness.

Answer 5

In my opinion they just don't listen when they are told about it. Most teenager's let what their parent's say go in one ear and out the other. For some, they don't use the birth control properly or they are talked into having unprotected sex by some jerk who says they can't get girls pregnant. Also, if they end up pregnant the first thing most people do is panic unless it was a planned pregnancy.

Answer 6

Sadly, some parents don't and even some that do end up with pregnant teeangers.....I think the reason the teens come to the internet for help, is its sometimes easier to talk to a group of people who do not know them rather then parents who will be upset, mad, angry and not ready to sit and talk. I know when i was a teen talking to my mother was hard!! I would talk to anyone else before her and it helped when it came time to talk to her, having spoken with others first.

Answer 7

Well I can't speak for EVERYONE but I can speak for ME and I'm between that age group. But, sometimes it's REALLY hard talking to your parents about that sort of things. I mean mostly all dad says is "im gon kill him and you" or something in that nature even if he doesn't mean it. And mom, well if u go to her once then she's going to try to keep bringing it up when your not in the mood! And sometimes kids dont even listen to their parents, well they hear them but its better for soem kids if they talk to a counsler or friend or some other figure. Why? Because some of my friends talk to counsler's because they dont want some one constantly in their face juding them rather than someone who's supposed to freak once and then be supporting them the rest of the ride!!!

Answer 8

yes, my parents did, but i just made a stupid choice in my life and now i have 2 live with it...i hope you dont look down on all of us pregnant teens & our parents...we ALL make mistakes! have you ever asked your parents how old they were when they had you? that might b a good thing for people to ask. please note that im not TRYING to b smart-mouthed, i just think that we as teenage moms get a lot of crap day in & day out about how our babies are going to turn out...u never know, maybe president bush was an unplanned baby to teenage parents! sum of the greatest people come from young, unmarried people.

just look @ Jesus...Mary was very young, very young & unwed...& he turned out to be our SAVIOR!

Answer 9

I think most of these girls get pregnant before they know anything about the consequences of unprotected sex.
I agree that the parents should be the one to talk to them. Many of them do not realize that their daughters are old enough.

Answer 10

Many homes that is not spoke of alot of times childrens parents are working alot. other times they are rebelous to the fact that there parents say dont do this or this will ruin ur life.

Answer 11

i am 18 and i think most of it is media and also when a girl likes someone she "thinks" that she met the right person he is going to listen to her, love her, take care of her etc. i think they also do it because when they feel like they don't fit in anywhere and then someone(guy) is listening to her and giving her the attention she deserves.
