what do think about young mothers ?

Answer 1

It's really not anyone's business to judge

Answer 2

I am a young mum! I had my son a few days before my 17th Birthday. I don't think they know what they're getting themselves into!!

But, I gotta hand it to the ones that do stick it out and raise the baby (especially if they're single)

Being a mum is bloody hard work for ANY woman... but imagine what its like for the really young ones who have NO idea what they're doing!

I also love the idea of being able to "grow up" with my kids in a sense... plus having the energy to run around with them and play!

But, in saying that, I centainly wouldnt encourage a 16 year old to go out and get pregnant! But things happen, and you gotta take whatever chalanges life throws at you!

I think there are alot of young mums that are much better parents than some of the mothers having children at 30 or so.

But yes, There certainly is some that shouldn't be bringing up children.

I dont think you can very well generalize young mums, as with all topis, there's the good, the bad, and the really really UGLY!!!

That's what i think!

Answer 3

I am 22 with 2 children living in the Hamptons. It is very rare to see someone of my age with children out here but I love being a young mother. I did all my partying when I was young so I don't get any urges to do any of that kind of stuff. We have the house nice cars and 2 children and of course love what else does a person want out of life. I do get a lot of older women tell me that they wish they would have had there children when they were younger, so i do know that some women do regret having children when they are older.

Answer 4

Some people are great young moms and others are not so great. I am a young mother of two (I'm 21 with a two year old and a 6 week old) and i am happily married. But I have a friend who is the same age with a one year old and due any day now who is unmarried and very unhappy. So it really depends on the person and you can't put a generalization on it.

Answer 5

i think people are too hard on young mothers and too quick to judge. Yes, a lot of teens get pregnant and don't know what they are doing and didn't plan it, but there are also some really smart young mothers, who are even better than older parents. I'm 18 (almost 19), already have my career in line, getting married very soon, and think of kids after that. I want to be pregnant before i'm 20, but i've already talked to my mom, and ever other mother i know about pregnancy and kids, i've read close to 20 full books on pregnancy, 15 books on marriage, 5 books on raising kids, and 1 book on marriage after kids. plus, a lot of research online. I'm doing everything i can so then when i am ready to have kids, i will have a better idea of what's going on. I'm not perfect, but i think i'm putting more effort into it than some older people. I don't think age has anything to do it, it's all about maturity and life situations.

Answer 6

I think it is okay. I think there is nothing wrong with it. You may get looked down apon and I think that is rediculous. If you are 12 and have a baby that isn't okay but if your 17+ then I think they have mitured *spelling?* enough to know what they got themselves into. If you are old enough to open your legs and use no protection, then I think, even if you are not ready for a child, you should get ready and prepare. I have known a lot of teen mothers and some struggle and some don't, that's the way it is. Just because they are a teen ager doesn't mean they can't handle a challenge that life has handed them.

Answer 7

Young mothers some times make better parents than older mothers.

Answer 8

depends on the mom I guess. I had my daughter a month after I turned 15. It was hard, but she had a good life. I finished high school went back to school and made a good life for her. I am married now (for 2 years) me and my husband have good careers and I am pregnant now. I don't regret having my daughter she is the best thing that happened to me. I just hope that she understands that just because it turned out good for me doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do. I hate to see young (teen) moms who have more than one baby. It has to be tough. I have to say I learned my lesson the first time and I went on birth control and stayed on it until we decided to have this baby.

Answer 9

I think it's fine to have a child as long as you are married and you're emotionally and financially mature and responsible enough to be able to raise the child. Some say that it's not a good idea at a young age, but the truth is that maturity and commitment are way more important aspects than age.

Answer 10

I think they have a hard life ahead of them. I was 17 when my first was born and I know that ifI had to do it over again, I would wait. don't get me wrong, I don't regret it, but it was hard.

I don't believe in abortion as a birth control method, so if a young teen becomes pregnant I feel all you can do is offer your support and assistance to them. It won't do a bit of good to rag on them about what has happened because it can't be changed.

Answer 11

Depends on how young, but for the most part I feel sorry for them.
