I believe that you should not have sex before marriage and when i found out that my friend was pregnnt i didn't know what to do!! What do you think about teens getting pregnant?? Well just think about a 15 year old girl having to take care of a baby by herself and having rumors going around about her.

I am now 39 years old, I had my first child when I was 16 I was pregnant at 15. I eventually married her dad. we had 2 more pregnancies one i miscarried the second died a day after he was born. we finally had another child when I was 20 years old. When I was 21 i found out I had cervical cancer and had an emergency hysterectomy. If we didn't have our kids when we did I wouldn't have any kids. When I turned 33 my husband and I decided I would quit work and we would become foster parents. Last year we adopted one of the foster kids. God works in mysterious ways. I do not condone teenage pregnancies but in to days society there is so much more education on birth control and it is so readily available that there shouldn't be so many teenagers becoming parents.
Your friend made a decision to keep her baby you should be proud and happy of her for her decision. She si the same person today as she was before she got pregnant the only difference is she is now becoming we. the best thing you can do for your friend is to be there to help her and support her emotionally. Do not turn your back on her.

I did have sex when i was 16 years old but i got myself on birth control. I am still with the same person that i first had sex with. We have been together for almost 12 years but been married for one year. We have a 5 year old son together which was planned when we were both 21.
I do think that teenage pregnancy is a shame. They act like it is nothing to have a baby. Mostly the grandparents end up with the kid watching it while the teenager is out having their fun and trying to get pregnant again cause most don't have enough sense to get on birth control.
They choose to get pregnant so they should take care of what they willingly created.

My best friend had a baby. Although she was 20 and not so much a teen she wasnt married. She says she would do it all over again. I dont know if it's true though. I can see how she can be unhappy at times not at all with her baby but with the life she lives. She wasnt ready for it at all. She needed me more then ever and sadly I was across the country but I still supported her and stuck by her side. Thats what true friends do. No matter what be there for her. If she truely is your friend you will not judge her nor talk behind her back. Help her whenever you can. When people talk and you hear it you defend her to the end. Thats what true friends do.
Good luck with everything.

Theres a girl in school with my younger sister who had a kid a month after her 13th birthday. She said she wanted to have sex before her sister when they were her age. Now the girl is 15 and is pregnant again. People say alot about her and her family. I was 17 teen when I got pregnant but My husband and I got married. So neither of us got to hand our kid off on some grand parents. My son has meant the world to me since the day he was born and nobody said anything about me as far as I know because I've tried my best to be a dang good mother. If you back out on your friend youll be a friend short and see her suffer. I suggest you suck up your opinion this once.

Every person beleives in different things, Some wait til marriage some others, Not very many people wait these days, and sometime's Teen pregnancy isnt a happy thing for people around her, But it's not right to JUDGE somebody, I mean people will or may tell her shes way to young to have the baby or take care of it, but if she beleives she can do it than let her be, if she has support than its fine, but if your her friend why are you being so cruel? friends should be there for friends??? and who cares if rumors are going around, rumors are rumors..

It shouldn't matter what people say about her. She made a choice and she is taking RESPONSIBILITY for it. If anything you and whoever else should be proud that she's acting like an adult rather than running away from her problems. I had my daughter when I was 20 to me that seemed really young but I stood up for the choice I made and I now have the best 17 month old daughter in the world. Not all things are bad.

one of my best friends got pregnant at the age of 15 and had the baby at 15. She didnt care what people thought or how people treated her. Now she has a lil girl and would do anything for her. it dosent matter how old u r u could be 26 and still have trouble. so it shouldnt matter.

everybody has their own opinons.it was ur friends choice to have sex then she knew there were going to be consequences.it may be difficult for her ro go to skool and have a baby at home.of course there will be rumors but they will pass. i think u should stay with ur friend cuz she'll need all the support she needs. i'm not saying u should think having a baby while in highschool is right i'm saying u should stick with her through this experience.

well i had my daughtere whenever i was 15...she's perfect!!!! I love her very much! And my life wouldnt be complete without her...I guess it depends on the maturity. But even if she's not fit then she might as well get help from someone because i believe that if she was woman enough to have sex then she must be woman enough to take care of a kid for 18 years.
