I was reading a question written by a teenage girl who got pregnant and was keeping the baby.. she wanted to know how she could clear her mind before the delivery.. i read the answers and some of them were just down right mean saying she shouldn't be pregnant at that age or to give her baby up assuming she couldn't take care of it.. does age really matter when it comes to being a good parent? and why aren't people looking down at the teenage boys who got these girls pregnant in the first place? Would the same girl be looked at the same or worst if she had gotten an abortion?

Well people seem to think that what they would do is the right thing to do.Every person is different and deals with things in different ways.I think it's wonderful that the girl is taking responsibility for her actions and not giving up on a child who never asked to be here.At least she is willing to try.She is being a parent all ready just by doing what she is doing and preparing.People need to stop n look in the mirror and realize that knowone is perfect including themselves and should learn not to judge for they r NOT any better.I feel that some people use abortion as a birth control but those r the ones who have had more then 1 cuz of not being responsible.With her being young that could have been an option n then doing the right thing after n going on some kind of birth control would be good to but everyone is different n shouldn't judge nor tell someone what to do.If she is old enough to have sex and bare a child then she is old enough to make this decision.She sounds more mature then some at that age.Well this is just my opinion.Have a wonderful wkend.

Some people have not been thaught better. And for the sad part even less are being thaught bettr now. She would be looked at the same or worse if gotten a abortion and people knew. Better parenting comes with age and experience. And ye the boys are at fault to. The father should be made to work and pay for the child. She has made the mistake of early sex and will have to pay for that in what she misses out on. People should understand she already has her own punishment and let her be.

Hey! ETERNAL LIFE IS A GIFT!!!! It is NOT something ANYONE can earn. It is beyond the imperfect humans capability to earn everlasting life! God only gives it as a gift. I'm sorry, it's hard to get the gift if you didn't come to the party. You want to go to God's Kingdom? It's still God's Kingdom. He says who comes in and who doesn't. Not any human on earth can make that decision. Yes, the Bible says that you must accept God and Jesus Christ. It also says God knows well of what you are made and that he is a reader of hearts. He is the one that will pass judgment on who will enter into his Kingdom. They may not all be Christians, they may just be misguided people with good hearts who God decides to give another chance. It is not our place to judge others. So, I cannot say you will not enter God's Kingdom. That is God's choice to make. It IS my job, however, to inform you that your chances of entering that Kingdom are decidedly slimmer if you continuously refuse the chances God gives you here and now. Why should he give you any more, if you've rejected all the ones he's already offered? By the way, you're right, the Bible does speak of forgiveness. But, every time it does, it says that you must ASK for forgiveness. If you do not ask, you do not receive. So, what's the question? And, the farmer that prays to God from the heart with true love and goodness, even if he doesn't know about Christ or anything else, he probably will receive the gift from God. It's all about the heart condition. Who you are on the inside is the deciding factor, not your sins, not your religion, not the way things look. It's what God sees in your heart. If he sees you are stubborn, he'll send you away from him. If he sees you crave disgusting things deep in your heart, he'll send you away from him. God decides who enters his Kingdom, not you and not I. God is perfectly good and just, and I'm sure he sees more than you or I ever could in the people around us. It's the internal person that matters to God, and he will judge them according to that. The thing is, atheists often show themselves to be stubborn minded. And that is unacceptable to God. So, that is why many people condemn them. I don't, I think they may be good people who just have some problems with some of the things they've seen and heard Christians do. God will fix that all in the end. He's the perfect judge, jury, and executioner. I do not worry on the subject of who he will and will not find guilty. I just hope and pray and work hard every day to try to acquit myself and to help others do the same. Hope that helps answers your question, and I'm sorry it's so long! Have a great day! Luv ya, Tashi :)

When people are asking legit questions on this site, the answer given should be the answer to the question, period. The last thing that poor girl needs to hear is condemnation. The horse is out of the barn, so to speak, and chastising her won't make it better. We need a little more etiquette and compassion on Yahoo! Answers.
To answer your questions, I think it does make a difference with the parents' age. In a perfect world, the young lady would have waited to get pregnant. Again, though, condemning her is mean, unnecessary & rude.
And the boys who get the girls pregnant need to step up to the plate as well.
As to the abortion question-I wouldn't touch that with a 10-foot pole.

number one, having babies is an expensive habit, if she thinks it o.k. let's hope it's because her parents or parent stands behind her. It will take a lot to raise a baby...the father, make me laugh, do go to the Welfare office and sign up for benefits, believe me that is what others are doing, the money is o.k. and does come in handy. Doctor visits are paid for and you child will need the help. Do talk to them about the father of the baby, they will help you get you money from him. Never tell yourself you don't need him. Let it go, just get it on paper who the father is. Then each year the baby gets older you can hopefully keep money in the bank, be able to give the baby a birth day present and party...think, think, think.....and what about a abortion, that is between the mom and God....no one else...why do people look down on her? Because people don't want to slow down and break things down for her...like I just did...people can make this mistake once but not twice or they will be on Welfare forever!! That's another story in itself.....good luck...

There is no excuse for the way people behave sometimes. They think because they are behind a computer screen they are anonymous. They don't realize how devastating their opinions can be to some questioners.
Also, by the time the poor child is already pregnant, it is too late to be throwing to many stones. If they ask about having sex, I usually try to tell them not to, or use protection. And I have been seen to be quite blunt and just say don't be stupid.

I understand how you feel. I was the boy in High School who got his girlfriend pregnant. I went thru these very tough criticisms. So, I know how she must feel. I would only hope she doesn't get an abortion.
Thanks for being there for her! Don't let others influence you into being like they are.
Peace be with you and that girl

It's easier for some to judge others than to be in their own backyard. I find people that are that opinionated and rude about it are hostile for a reason. It's up to the rest of us to exercise compassion and understanding for anyone's situation. We all make mistakes and we are all human; however, it is how we deal with our own mistakes that count. What others say about us or to us is irrelevant, unless it's someone close to you. That's when you pay attention. Mean people need to be dealt with accordingly. I have simply stated that was a mean thing to say, yes, they were entitled to their opinion...but there is a time and place for everything. They need to exercise better judgement when those times and places arise.

Good Question. Just goes to show that many people are cold, and do not know or believe in God. They live the life of a hater. Hate is from satan and LOVE is from GOD. Some people walk the crooked, short and wide road.

Your question is: "How can some people be so hypocritical, mean and rude?" And that is what I will answer.

People are mean and rude because they are ignorant, and also because they are ignorant and nasty persons to begin with. Rude answers come from rude people. People who are hypocritical are blind to their own two-faced approach to life. And, yes, they can be rude and mean, too.

Good people are not rude or mean or hypocritical. You just read people's answers to the questions being asked, and you can sort out easily enough who is who.
