my school( high school) has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in the state. right now we have 38 REPORTED pregnant teens, which 14 have ALREADY given birth. 8 freshman, 7 sophmore, 6 juniors, and 13 seniors. its a damn shame. . . we have a daycare thats full and that has a HUGE waiting list for expecting mothers. every time i walk down the hallway i hear " aw, look at ur baby, i wish i had a kid". they think its cute!. i went up there to ask questions about it and the lady looked at me like i was a whore, just because i wanted to give out daycare cards from my mom.she thought i was expecting! some of my friends wanted to interview me for the school newspaper for their pregnancy peice. i was pregnant before, yes, but i dont want to anounce it to the whole school ( raped). why is sex so freakin important to them??? our school doesnt even talk about sex etc. . . we have questions that they cant answer because of the school board. soo much more to tell, just glad to get it out!

what do these girls want! im sick of people telling they think its kewl to get pregnant, that its kewl i was pregnant. its ugh! teens are stupid, immature, freaks! i swear. . .i hate that i even go to that skewl, its a great skewl, really, its just this topic right here kills me. they have no idea what they're doing to themselfs. it may be none of my buisness but its hard to avoid. they're arent even setting good exaples for their children. their arent even learning responsibility, they dont take care of their kids the daycare does. kids from ages all the way up to 4 roam the halls and listen to all the cussing and watch all the violence that goes on. when they get older they're ganna think that its the right way to act.

Teens are gonna do what they want to do whether they have the guidance or not. They feel as though they know it all and in the event they don't they will have their parents to back them up. I think it's a shame that these young women are subjecting themselves to adulthood so early on in life. There are many other things that can be done other than having sex. And Y is it that their are some things the school board can't talk about, but its ok to have all of these pregnant teens running around the school. Unless this school is specifically for pregnant teens, there should be no glorification. Having a child is supposed to be something done between two capable and responsible adults who are willing and able to take care of them. Teens are relying on their parents to help them take care of these children. Some parents have to wind up adopting their own grandkids because the actual parents can't or don't want to do it. I am glad there are still some young ladies out there that recognize it is not a game out here!!!

that's why they are with child.. your school don't talk about it much. i was in the 3rd grade when i found out about sex. they taught us about condoms and the diseases that are out there. having a kid is no joke. i don't have any and I'm 25. it's not cool being a teen mom, it's a 24 hour job non-stop. my sister will be having two kids, well she has a girl now and she pregnant with her second and she's only 19. 1st one when she was 18 got married when she was 17, but she married that's the key, she has help. but it don't make matters good because she's still to young. you watch the news and listen to how the parents are killing their babies or doing bad thing s to them. if you don't want the kid take it to the adoption center or give it to SOME ONE THAT WILL CARE FOR IT!!! yeah kids are cute when they are small but they do grow up and they won't have the education to give them. so that why we have so many young *** grandmothers in the world. it starts at home and if the parents don't think nothing of it then why should you. you just do your part take care of yours and let them fall where it hurts. one day they are going to be saying i wish i would have waited.... mark my word.... i could say more but i don't have time.

What became of your pregnancy?
Although it's not good for teens to aspire to become pregnant, or to be irresponsible enough to accidentally become pregnant because of unprotected sex, I have to say I'm glad these girls are staying in school so that they'll be able to provide for their babies when they've graduated...and I'm glad they chose to allow their babies to live. However, I'm sad that the mother's youth had to end so soon. And what about the daddies? They created a life, too, but no one's even looking at them and how they're living their lives. It's all fallen on the girl, even in your question.
Teenage pregnancy happens...and it shouldn't happen as often as it does...but I'm always happy to hear when a mommy is making the best of the situation and getting an education and taking respoinsibility for the child.
Since your school doesn't teach sex ed and it has such a high rate of teen pregnancy, I'd definitely say this is a strong argument FOR proper sex ed in middle and high school...and not just "don't have sex ever or you'll die" abstinence-only classes, either, because these girls would probably have sex anyway...they just need to know how to protect themselves.

That is sad. I'm 16 and would never even consider having a baby yet. I'm waiting until I'm married to have sex. One time I was daydreaming and thought, what would happen if I was pregnant and I almost freaked out. I would have to drop the nursing class I'm in, I'd barely ever see my friends, I would have to get a job, and it would be extremly hard for me to finish school and go to college. And I want to travel, which I'd never be able to do with a kid. Yes, I love kids and want a family one day, but I agree with you, I don't know why teens want kids.
It's funny beacuse I look at all the stupid things most teens do and just say "I hate [most] teenagers" My mom always makes fun of me because I am one.

There's a school in Ohio Carrolton I think the city is that has a huge number of teenagers who are in 6th and 7th grade who either have kids already or are pregnant. Yeah it's a dang shame that teenagers think it's fine to get pregnant at a young age. There's no point having sex ed if they're just going to ignore the facts and go out and mess around behind their parents' backs.

It is sad and it is a shame. Sounds like your school needs to launch a serious sex education program. But that is the reality nowadays and it goes back to the household and the parents. Perhaps you live in a community with horrible parental supervision. I am really sorry to hear about what happened to you :( Just keep your mind right and know what you want in life. There's plenty of times for kids. I think you got the right idea and you'll be ok.

some teens think the way to have love is to have sex and thats wrong.. my sis had a baby at 13. and it was hard. kids having sex is wrong. kids now a days change mates more then anything else. i have a 16yr old 14yr old and have told them all about sex. got one on the pill. and i make them both carry condoms. it will happen sooner or later but unless they are ready to grow up real fast they need to not have sex. they tell me all about their friends doing it. and i tell them when they all have the same std they will wish they didnt have sex. my child scool last year had 200 cases of the same std. thankfully my kids werent one of those cases. im srry to hear how u was treated and i understand how u know all the sex is wrong. shame more dont see it wrong. good luck

Maybe if the school didn't provide a day care center for those mothers and the girls had to pay for their child care like everyone else...they would think twice about having unprotected sex??
*sigh* I don't even know where to begin. This whole subject is so discouraging...especially to a mother of young children. I just can't imagine the challenges that lay ahead of us as far as teaching our children morals in a world that's going to h*ll!

Sometimes this situation depends on whether or not the teen has both parents in their life. A lot of teen girls get pregnant as a byproduct of not having their fathers around to protect them and to teach them about men. You can NEVER replace the importance of the father in a child's life. One other thing, your kids will follow the example you set for them. They will do what you do and not what you tell them, so the example you set for them is crucial.
