why are young girls having kids at an early age?

Answer 1

No one can tell you a correct answer to this. Everyone has a different answer.

Answer 2

I take offense as well! I was 18 when i had my now 4 month old daughter... I am well educated, graduated high school, got A's and B's, got more than enough love at home, Came from an upscale family... my mother was never shy when it came to talks about sex and the consequences of sex. I decided to have my daughter because my fiance and I wanted to start a family together, and I have never been happier! If by "young girls" you mean ones in the middle of high school and sometimes middle school then i suggest you choose different wording next time... and to all of you who have answered negativly about having children at a young age, may i remind you that there was once a time when girls were married off at 16, and 18 was VERY common age to get married at after that...

Answer 3

Could you be more specific about "young girls"? I was 18 when I got married and had our first baby. I am now 22 and we have 2 children and have been married for 4 and a half years. I also take offense to people who talk about "young people" getting married and having babies. I think as long as the 'girls' are doing well and taking care of their babies, other people should mind their own business. I am a stay at home mom also and I love the time I get to spend with my children.

Answer 4

I take offence by some of these replys. I am well educated, went through college as well. I feel I was very loved at home also. I got married when I was 18 and now have 2 kids and I am 21. I will start TTC #3 in a couple months as well. I am a stay at home mother, my husband works very hard for me to be able to do this. I take great care of my children and they get anything they want/need/or desier. It was always my dream as a kid to be a mom and wife and nothing eles. I have this now and couldn't be any happier.

Answer 5

Because girls are having sex at a younger age now. Girls are also physically maturing younger than they used to be (these days it's not abnormal for girls to have periods at age 10!).

It also seems that a lot of teenagers now believe that they are old enough and mature enough to raise a child. I have seen countless Yahoo! Answers postings of teenage girls saying that they are happy to be young mothers and believe that they are completely mature enough. I think girls have a different mindset now than they used to.

Answer 6

the question is why are kids (boys and girls, not just the females) having sex at such a young age. most of them do not choose to get pregnant, it just happens and they decide to keep it. i believe that shows a step toward growing up when they decide to keep that baby and accept responsibility. and people like to blame it on the parents but its mostly the state of mind of the child. my parents never gave me the talk, not once. and i didnt have sex till i was 18,had my daughter at 19. it had nothing to do with my parents, it was me that decided to wait till i was at least legal. there probably isnt anything we can do to fix this, just hope that kids grow up a little bit and are smart enough to wait till they are at least 18

Answer 8

because they arent properly educated on sex and they listento boys when they say they dont want to use condoms. they dont take their birth control properly their are many reason. to supplement the love that they may not be getting from a parent or care giver. thinking that a baby will keep their boyfriend... tons of reason. the question is how to stop young girls from getting pregnant

Answer 9

The obvious answer is because they are having sex. I am 18 and pregnant... I will be 19 by the time the baby comes... I was on birth control, and used condoms... One time the condom broke... but I figured, no big deal, I'm on the pill... OOPS!

Sometimes girls are being safe, and doing what they were taught, but things happen!!!

Answer 10

i heard from a nurse taht the reason why our young daughters are getting pregnant or actually maturing so early is because of the food we eat. the government gives livestock a steroid to produce more and young age to get more food and whatever they give the livestock we are eating it too.
