I think it is sad for them. They are so young and becoming parents is such a huge responsibility. There life will be so totally changed once they have a child, and they will miss out on a lot of things they could of done if they had waited.

I can tell you from firsthand experience that it is a very hard thing to do, yet it is also the most rewarding thing as well. I was pregnant with my first child at 15, had him when I was 16. Of course, his biological father has never even set eyes on him. In a way, that is a blessing, because he was a very irresponsible person. Some may believe that I was also irresponsible for getting pregnant, but it is something that I will never regret. All of my children (I have 4) are what makes my life the greatest I could ask for. Sure, we had some hard times and struggles, but there are many "grown" parents that do as well. The one thing my children never lacked was love and attention. My children are now 22, 20, 13 & 11. The two oldest ones graduated high school. My 20 year old is in her second year of college.
To me, it is maturity, not age which is the real issue. Immaturity exists at all age, income and social status levels.

They weren't well informed before they had sex. I feel sorry that such niave people have sex, it's not so much an age issue but a maturity issue. Some younger people are ready to have sex, for example when i became sexually active i talked to my mom and started taking birth control, i thought about my decision and i spoke to my boyfriend about how we felt about everything that would come with sex (emotions, responcibility, etc). Along with other things.
Also I disagree with the previous responce that stated that is does not matter where they live, it does matter where they live because if they were from a country where teen parnets are common (such as many third world countries) I would have an entirely different opinion than i do about two teenagers who live in a country where sexual education is taught to all teens who just didn't think before hand.

I think that is really bad. They shouldn't have done have done what they did. I think that they will have problems with the kids. They haven't even gone off to college yet, let alone graduated high school yet. How are they supposed to raise a kid when they don't exactly have a supporting job? The parents really have to think of their kid now. They totally have to make sure that this situation won't happen to the kids at all. The parents first need to get a job and their act together.

interior the comparable way human beings desire a driving license to force, your concern makes me think of that quite human beings could desire to be required to get a 'license' for being mothers and fathers. If the girl is being that infantile and cheating. She's already no longer thinking interior the perfect pastime of the youngster. Having a new child is a real duty. If she's no longer arranged to strengthen a new child - remember she has to then quit being a new child herself and be an person - then evaluate different concepts, inclusive of giving freely the youngster for adoption. actual, at 15 and 17 yrs of age, very few all people is waiting for the duty of young infants. Please tell your buddy to re-examine her concern and talk over with a depended on counsellor/instructor/person buddy. good success.

parent? that is a joke! just because you have a child does not mean that you are PARENT/MOTHER/FATHER!!!! What type of life experence, job, education, money does a 15 16 17 year old have that classifies him or her as a parent that can provide what a child has a right to??? Love is not enough. Keep your legs together or use protection eaither way if you can not take care of yourself on your own you have no busniess taking care of another life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Very sad.
I know of two people in this situation, except the guy is older... Girl is only a few months older than your example, though.
They don't understand the real meaning of being parents whatsoever...
