Everyone seems to think it is a great thing to do in your life is to have a baby by the time you 16.
Don't you think that "some" people put things like that into someone's head that is the thing to do is ruin your life when your underaged?
I think that if people would take their birth control CORRECTLY they would not be pregnant in the first place. (I am not saying that all teenage moms are bad but they are more bad ones than good ones)

Ok that takes the cake: Thoughts from a teenage girl scared and thinking oh god people will talk about me so i should throw my newborn baby to a hungery dog or bury it alive. You clearly make no sense.

It is a shame...Do you think it is oh so cute when you see a 13/14/15 year old girl packing a baby on their hip?
I guess though it is cute according to you

most of the ppl replying to this seem very angry maybe becoz u feel u are labeled as being a bad mum becoz u had a baby in ur teens? i am yet to read anyone saying its great to have a baby at 16, ppl who have had a baby at that age may have sed they are happy that they had the baby but thats bout it.
as for evey1 thinking this person said teenage mums are bad...she didnt say that she sed there are MORE bad then good ones lol they way i see it, there are bad andgood mums no matter the age, race or location, but yes teenage mums tend to be labeled as the bad ones coz of there age and the fact they cant possibly provide for their child...well i had my son 2months ago and i'm 19, ive been working full time since i was 14, i've been with my partner for 4 years and we own our own home. does this mean im a better mum? On the outside looking in yes- why becoz wat i jus sed looks good on paper, but i could be neglecting my child beating my child etc....what im trying to get at is who cares what others think u know wether ur a good mum or not so dont stress!

I have never seen anybody glorify teenage pregnancy on this website. Some women who have been teenage moms, and understand what it is like, offer advice to those who are underage and pregnant. Also, you are being pretty general when you say "teenage pregnancy". I am nineteen (see the teen) I'm married and I just found out that I'm 4 weeks pregnant. I couldn't be more happy. I graduated with a girl who took her birth control to a tee and still got pregnant. Failure in birth control does happen, it's been proven. That's why the packet says only 99% effective if taken properly. Why don't you get off your high and mighty horse for a second and put yourself in a teenage mom's shoes, unless you are too proud and ignorant to do so!

Not every young mother is a horrible person or parent...Nor does everyone who has a baby in their teens has there life ruined...I had my daughter a few days before I turned 18 and it did not in no way ruin my life..I`m married to her father and she is 11 years old now..we also have a 7 1/2 month old son and I`m pregnant with #3 now...You seem to have a thing with teen moms by the questions you ask..I wonder why??

Well most teen pregnancies are not "planned" and the last thing the teenager is thinking about while they are having sex is pregnancy. They are more concerned about what if mom walks in or can someone see in the car window.. so don't let them see about how "great" teen pregnancy is.. and just sit down and tell her about the consequences about teen pregnancy.. and make sure to talk to the boyfriend as well. If they are both aware of what could happen.. then maybe they would actually think twice about it happening at all. Tell her how much you would like her to wait til she was married at least.. but if she chooses to not wait.. to at least use protection every single time. Kids will try it whether we want them too or not.. so I think as a parent it is our job to make sure their well being is taken care of all the time.

well thats were ur wrong ... no one is glorifying nothing ... every one who is pregnant NO MATTER WHAT AGE has a right to feel happy about there baby .. were not trying to persuade others into taking the same path as us if they do thats their choice and what we say should have no bearing if they have a mind of there own. and who said its RUINING your life excuse me .... but im not ruining anything ...expecially not my life and i am not ashamed at all of giving birth in september whilst im still 18 . and it has nothing to do with birth controle i wasnt on birth controle ... because me and my bf (yeah bf not husband) wanted to start a family. u may not be saying that all teenage mums are bad ..BECAUSE WERE NOT but ur still tryin to say that there is more bad then good ... most mothers no matter the age love their child so how does that make most teenage mums bad.. get a life and leave us teenage mothers and mothers to be alone ... we can do just as good of a job as u if not BETTER

I think that most people on here are pretty hard on teenage moms. I dont think anyone is condoning it, but we are answering their questions! Nobody is perfect and many of people were having sex by 16 (give or take a year), so judging them so hard is hypocritical! I was a teenage mom (18) and I was i the pill, taking it correctly, when I got knocked up!!!!
Being a teenage mom is hard and scary and a reality in our society! I think that it is great that they at least come to sites like this and try to get as much info as possible!
Also, I dont think that teens are being exposed to teen pregnancy on here any more than at school....Face it, it is a sad reality of todays society!!!

I was a good teen mom and I agree. Some do glorify teen pregnancy. Also.. I took my birth control correctly at 23 and got pregnant on it. So... even then it does happen. I would not let my daughters get on this site since any question they had they can ask me. Just me though.

Okay, I'll keep this decent because I do not think you understand.
People do not think it's a great thing to get pregnant as a teenager. The ones like myself who do get pregnant at that age have to go on with their lives irregardless of what people say or do. Most teenage moms struggle daily to beat the stereotype which you just mentioned.
Do you know what it feels like going into a store and being called a whore just because you look young? Do you know what it feels like to get looks daily just because of your age? I don't think so.
Asking for respect being a young mom is one thing. I honestly don't try to "glorify" teen pregnancy. I just ask for respect for my decision and my ability to parent.
I've noticed all of the questions you've asked about teenage mothers killing their children. Ever wonder why? They are scared because of people who walk around high and mighty because they waited only three years later to have a child. I'm not saying that it's right but do to the inconsiderate mothers who do look down on them they have "issues."
Next time you see a young mother think about what she may be going through. Chances are they are the same things YOU went through then added with the stress of constantly being looked down on.
I know many teenage mothers who are stupid. I know many teenage mothers who do make big mistakes with their choices parenting--or lack their of their child. BUT you cannot base the mistakes of others on a person. You cannot stereotype an entire category of people [teen mothers] as horrible parents. That's not right and just the same as saying all African-Americans are gangsters or all people who work on farms are hicks.
Just something to think about...
"What i hate on yahoo answers is the the little teenagers that are so pathetic in making others believe that teenage pregnancy is great when it is not - it is a shame" --You don't think that shows any kind of disrespect towards young mothers--to be called "a shame?" You don't think that makes someone feel horrible?
No one goes around saying "go get pregnant when you are a teenager." They are simply asking for respect.
