What if she is in love, and he loves her, why is it such a controversy?
Btw, im not pregnant...its questions i always ask myself.

Because this girl will be mooching off the welfare system for the next 10 years because she had a baby before she could afford to support it.

It would not be such a big deal if they would teach all the students about birth control and ovulation and STD's.. This would make teen pregnancies drop extremely. The moment that they would have to see an baby being born and all the pain. Or if they would see how sick and STD could make you feel when left untreated. I honestly believe that I would have waited longer to have sex if I were properly taught about all the risk factors out there. Aids is very scary and these kids think that they can't get it. Pregnancy is shocking.. but when nobody tells them about how sex can hurt you.. then it is made out to be OK. Most parents are to busy to talk to their kids about matters like this and if it was a class in schools and kids actually graded on it .. I think things would be alot easier for everyone.

I hate to point this out but there's some sort of logic to come in play here. HIgh school, is school. It's a place to still be learning how to deal with the world you'll be sent out too when you finish, life, with jobs, real bills and real people that have already started making something out of what they learned through school. So if you honestly want to know, I don't htink high school is the place to be suddenly confronting the possiblity of wether or not you can be a parent yet or not. It's more of the place to think of how will you start your life, money, the roof over your head, or if you should keep taking schooling.
It's not wrong, I'm not saying it is, I just think it's not smart. People can fall in love and I admire that greatly for being able to take the next step, but when your in high school you've got alot more to deal with than the sudden diaper load of a child and the non stop attention it'll need. You should be more focused on rounding out your own life at this time not having another human being to relie on you TOTALLY! 24/7, 7 days a week, for the rest of your life, or till 18 and they get out on their own.
People talk about it, because , it's something to talk about. Someone getting involved so deep enough to get pregnant while their still growing up is something to look at. You wonder what went through their heads, why they couldn't hold off, why maybe didn't they make sure they were protected and of course, how will they be able to raise a child when they still have classes to go too? It's alot of things, who wouldn't talk about it?
Again I'm not saying it's wrong, I just think half the kids out there today (I'm only 24, my first child I had was at 20) Are jumping into a serious relationship, which is good to some point, but not takign the time to weight out what could happen if they slip.
I don't regret ever having my first child I just turned 20, and wasn't married at the time either, I picked up my things left my parents house and moved and married the father who now for 5 years is still wonderfully married and on our 3rd child.
It works out sometimes, other times it doesn't. I do think that people in high school don't always realise that a baby means forever, a childhood sweetheart can end but you'd still have that baby to take care of. Not everyone is ready for that, not everyone is willing to make that jump so quickly into life , but not many people take the time to remember that when they think their in love and are having sex.
If they love each other fine, great, good for them. If you love each other enough keep this in mind. Do I love them enough to finish school without being tied down to a baby, and the sudden onsurge of parent hood? Do I love them enough to make it known I need to finish school and have an idea of what I want to do before I even think about starting a family with them? Sex is one thing being responsible is another, and if your not you'll find yourself with another person to be worrying about, to be caring for to be responsible for. It's a big job. A huge job.
I would never take back a thing I did that brought me to where I am today. I adore, cherish and love my kids, so much it grows with each passing day.
Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's not a game to be played with. It isn't a game to begin with.

Because having a baby together, and successfully raising a child, involved a WHOLE LOT MORE than a guy and a girl loving each other. It's a huge responsibility, not just a fun and cute thing to love.
Frankly it is a responsibility that most high schoolers are not ready to financially or emotionally handle.

Everyone thinks they're "in-love" when they're in high school. But there's a lot about the real world you don't know until you graduate and get out on your own. And, just because you're in-love doesn't mean you have to have a baby.

Because normally having a baby is something most of society think of adults doing, not kids. And high school students are not adults. Having a child is a LIFE CHANGING EVENT and a LIFELONG COMMITMENT, not just a googly eyed I'm in love thing.

"Love" doesn't put a roof over your head and food in your stomach. Unmarried, unstable, inexperienced parents aren't the best choice for any new baby. Teenage parents living in their parents house, having their parents raise and support their grand children is not the way to. Before making the choice to have a family the parents need to have the ability to take care of the baby on their own. It is not the resposibility of other people or government agencies to raise your children. Welfare, WIC, Medicade.......teens need to keep their pants on and wait to have a baby until they can provide for them theirselves. Children having children is wrong.

Because they are still in school, they havent grown up yet and getting ready to have a baby. Its best to get out of school and do what you want to do with your life before you decide to have a baby, because once you have a baby your life revolves around the baby, the baby decided what you do and when you do it.

because she is way to young. It doesn't matter if they are in love... their personalities are still developing and will change in their twenties. They may be in love now but give it a few years. Once your in the real world and out of high school a lot changes.
