this world is too over populated with stupid people. people who feel the only way to be productive is to pop babies out? PLEASE give me a break. i feel bad for the children of teen parents and incredibly thankful i was born into the family i was!

Well Jessica according to people on yahoo answers it is so great to be a teen parent. I don't see how it is at all to have to give up your life before you have too. I think they get pregnant because oh god their so in love and want to trap their boyfriends or they don't have the common sense to use birth control.
I had sex when i was 16 but by god i got on birth control and when i did want to have a baby i planned it. I was 21 when i had my son, now i am 27 and i still haven't had anymore cause it is hard raising a kid and i am not sure if i want to have more or not.
I think it is a shame for a little teenage girl to be pregnant or packing a baby on their hip but really it is usually their moms watching and taking care of their messes.
It makes me so mad that they cannot afford to buy a 75 cent condom, no what am i thinking it is cheaper to raise a baby.

What do you consider to be a "young age"?
For one, some people are sexually active in their teens. Some of them are wise enough to know that a baby can be the result, no matter how careful they are. Many people choose not to abort a child just because they feel they arent ready. They take responsibility for their actions. I know several "young" mothers who do a WONDERFUL job raising their kids.
People like you really hurt me while I was pregnant. I was 19 and happily married when our daughter was born. We didnt intend to have a child right away, but it happened. Our daughter is now 2 years old. I breastfed for a year. My husband has a job he loves. I'm a stay at home mom with a home business, and we are all very happy. Everyone who meets our daughter exclaims that she is the happiest little thing they have ever seen and we must be doing a wonderful job with her. I have NO regrets about having a child at a "young" age. I personally find things like partying, drinking, gambling, etc., to be very boring and unfulfilling. Yes, my life has more responsibilty than I did before, but I have never felt happier and more purposeful. We only get one life, so I'm not going to waste it by getting wasted, or waiting until the world beleives I am ready to have a life. There is NOTHING glamourous about it, but there is something incredibly fullfiling about it. Some of us mature at a younger age. Yes, there are young moms that are totally irresponsible, but you know what? There are 40 year olds that are just as irresponsible, so who is to say the "proper" age to have a child?

Why would you question why someone would bring a child into this world. There are older people that also dont have the resources to care for children and bring them into this world. And yes project life is tha great I have 2 children one will be 14 at the end of March she was born when I was 22 and the other just turned 9 months old. And if I could have had more I would have. Stop questioning others peoples actions unless you want yours questioned

Well that depends on what you consider young but at most cases i think that girls should be put on depo until high school graduation at least then if they have sex they wont end up a hs drop out from pregnancy but things arent always that easy or hard or may not be what they seem for instance i got pregnant at 17 but i had graduated hs and was living on my own with the father of my kids we are now married have 2 very nice ford trucks and are fixing to buy a house and we have two kids and i went to school to be a medical assisant and here shortly i will be a nurse but right now i dont work in the medical field at all so you may think that we sell drugs to make ends meet but that isnt the case here its called a budget or non frivoulous spending(dont buy crap) but i know not everyone gets the story i have but kids are great and i love project life as you call it but if i could do it over again then i would without a doubt, having kids at any age or income level is never easy but you make it work and give it your all because thats what real parents do we make it work....

Kids have no grip on reality. They think if they have a child they will magically become a "grown up" and have control over thier lives and everything will be roses. What they don't realize is that the baby is actually the one in control, as babys are so demanding and everything the parent does is for the welfare of that child.

i completely agree. there is no point in teenagers or younger having children. they are just babies themselves and have no idea what life is about. they may do it for love, but they are just screwing themselves i n the end. babies are a lifetime commitment. not something you think, ya that would be cool. its not a dog or cat its a human being!! i dont down pre-marital sex, but at least be smart about it. condoms do work people!!! dont have sex if you arnt prepared to suffer the concequences. its alos not fiar when they have them, and expect the government along with everyone else to pay for them. its your responsibility, not ours. i think you shold only have a baby when you are married, financially and emotionally ready and mature (no, a 13 year old is not mature!!!) im not saying you need to own a home, but at least be living on your own and knowing what life is about first, before you bring another one into it.

Sometimes I thought about loosing my virginity to this guy I didn't even love, in hopes of getting pregnant. The reason was that I wasn't feeling loved by my parents, and I just wanted someone that I could love and that would love me. I thought about and how I would lose all of my friend and lose total disrespect from my family, and dropped the idea.

Some women strongly believe agianst abortion. So if the make a mistake like a great deal of us do they would rather have the baby then not. People make mistakes......but mistakes dont always have to turn out bad

They want that unconditional love that they aren't getting from their parents. In the bargain, though, they are taking on a responsibility that (most) younger people aren't equipped to handle; thus repeating the cycle that their own parents started.
