what is your impression about teenage pregnancy?

Question

ei, kindly answer..this is for our research tn...

Answer 1

I don't believe teenagers should be having sex in the first place. If you are going to have sex you should be prepared for the consequences and most if not all are unprepared for this. Having one kid at such a young age generally leads to several children that they can't afford, the father rarely sticks around, or shall I say fathers. A few may make it and make something out of themselves but at what cost. I don't agree with abortion so how bout we just start requiring a liscence to get pregnant.

Answer 2

It depends what you mean. I got pregnant at 17 and to be honest it was the best thing that ever happend to me. I was a high school drop out and full time partier. Now I have finished school and am in my first year of university. i live and raise my daughter on my own and she means the world to me. I know that this is not the case for all teen moms because they don't have the yeducation and information to make the right decisions. it is hard but i wouldn't change being a youg mom for anythign in the world so don't think that we're all bad becuase we're not, we just made mistakes
By the way, my child is probably better off than alot of other kids out there. I am a very good mom, I am well educated, make good money, have my own place, and my daughter is very happy. I get to spend a ton of time with her since I don't have to work. I do not drink or do drugs and her father is in her life! We are great parents so don't judge people until you actually know the whole story. I have a 85% average and am going to med school next year so I imagine my child will be very well taken care of!!

Answer 3

When i got pregnant for the first time i was only 16 years old i had my child at the age of 17. The man that got me pregnant had a job and found us an apartment to live in we decided to get married when i turned 18 and soon after that i found out that i was pregnant for the second time. We got married we have been married for 4 years and together for 5. I am now 23 years old and a stay at home mom. I love the life that i have now and i would never go back and change anything. I am not saying that its ok but stop judging the ones that are cause you dont know what there life is all about.

Answer 4

I was pregnet at 15. I had my beautiful babygirl when I had just turned 16. I am now 22 years old and I say it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Sure I missed out on alot but if I didn't have her, who knows if I would be who I am today. I was forced to grow up and by the age of 18, I had my own apartment for my baby and I, a car, decent job and I did it all myself...no co-signer, no $ given to me...nada. The father left when I was 17. Its crazy when I hear of my friends that I used to hang with and how some of them screwed up their life by drugs, partying...that could have been me.

I am not entirely against teen pregnancy because it brings out the good in some people but I do think teens should wait.

Answer 5

Pregnancy--teenage or middle age is not black and white. I think at any age--18 or 35 a parent should be able to care and provide [financially, emotionally, and mentally] for a child.

There are many teenagers who cannot accept this responsibility and act very immature. Just look at statistics. I'm a "teenage" mother and I'm not afraid to admit there are statistics proving my life shouldn't be the way it is.

There are many mid-aged women who can accept the responsibility and act very mature. Just look at statistics. I also have known many mid-aged mothers who are the most immature and irresponsible parents around.

Pregnancy is case by case. Statistically, having a child as a teenager is not a "good" thing BUT there are many mothers--such as myself who took on that responsibility head on.

For the typical and statistical teenage pregnancy I feel bad for everyone involved--the child, the parents of the teen, AND the teen themselves. It can be very sad.

We do need to realize that not everyone fits a stereotype--racial, gender based, or about pregnancy. Every one is different but I'll give you that statistically it is and can be very sad.

Answer 6

There is too much scare mongering, guilt tripping, embarassment spewing also known as abstinence only training and not enough education or safe spaces for teens to talk about, ask questions and access the resources they need until it's too late and even then there are places like pro-life "emergency pregnancy centres" that just abuse the ignorance of youth even more.

Answer 7

I feel pregnant with my first at 15. I really dont think it should matter what other people think. They dont know the persons circumstances or the reason they feel pregnant young.

Yes there is alot of young mums these days but i think there needs to be alot more education in schools to make them realise sex is not all fun and games.

For those who disagree with it thats fine everyone has there own opinion but please keep this belief to your self. Havent these girls gone through enough having to decide not only thier future but they babys inside of them. Just think before you speak , what if it happened to your child either it be thier choice or not!!

Answer 8

ok i had my son at 16 and it didnt ruin my life or my career it made my life so much better it is really hard but i managed me and his dad are now married his dad finished school and has a job a am finishing school i graduate this may then i am going to take collage courses online my son gives me something to work hard for before i had him i had dropped out of school and didnt care about anyhting but hanging out with my friends so the people that say it ruins teenagers lives are wrong that is not always true

Answer 9

I think it's sad, I think they are trying to find someone who will love them, that for some reason they are not feeling it in other areas of their lives. What they do not understand is it's not easy, nor is it fun and games, you can't just walk away when it gets too hard, you can't return it when you don't like it anymore or isn't what you thought it would be. Being a mom is a 24/7/365 job, there are no days off, no vacation, no sick days, once you pop that baby out it is job number one until it gets married.

Answer 10

I think it is a shame. Parents should be more involved in their kids life and should not let them do as they please. If more parents were strict then i don't think there would be so many little teenage girls pregnant. If parents would just realize that their kids aren't angels and just go ahead and put them on birth control then they wouldn't get pregnant and if teenagers were smart they would go themselves and get on birth control but it seems as though that is too hard for them. They would rather ruin their life then to go to the doctor/health department and have their feet up in stir-ups for about 5 minutes. It is just a shame.
