Only way to explain why i'm asking is because i think too many people see abortion as the solution in this case. If there was more help and support instead of stereotypes then teens wouldn't feel so isolated to have kids so young. What do you think? Let me know please.Thanks.! :-)

Well I agree with, I personally don't think that it is fair that parents or people point out young teens as bad, stupid little kids that got pregnant and now they don't want to take care of thier responsibilities, some kids have sex, because of peer pressure, some do it becasue of others, some do it because they see parents do it, some do it because they need to feel good, sense they don't feel loved at home, some people also seek abortion cause they are scared and they know that end of them telling their parents, they know that they are going to loose education, and they may have to leave their friends and raise a family, I can't stand when the men get the woman pregant and not help take care of the baby or the mother, some people don't care until the baby comes, others get pregnant is because they got raped, no one takes that into the picture or consideration.
I feel for all the, pregnant teens, and I want to get enough money to raise a building for teen mothers who need help, so they know they are not alone, because the baby is a gift from god, and when you kill it, you kill that gift, I want to help them with thier self esteem, and everything and every aspect that needs surviving, I want to help them, because I know that if i was struggling and striving and just barely making it, that I would want someone to go there way and do everythin they can to help me. Its pure CURTIOUSY

I think that teenagers should become more educated, that's what I believe. It is astounding to see the number of questions from young teens having sex...who have no clue apparently that you can get pregnant each and every time they have sex. I believe that if someone feels that they are mature enough to handle a sexual relationship, then they should be mature enough to raise a child OR give the child to a family who will support the baby. But it all falls back on educating.
There is already plenty of help and support out there for anyone who is pregnant. Abortion, to me, is just selfish. People who have abortions do not want to take nine months out of their lives to be pregnant, not even to give the child up for adoption. Do I feel bad for the young girl who's health could be at risk if she delivers a baby? Absolutely not! She shouldn't be having sex in the first place.
Then, on the other hand, you have the people who get pregnant and keep the baby just to abuse the system and use whatever support they can get. Have sex with my boyfriend, have a baby, get a check every month, free housing, free food, etc? WOW!
As I said, it all boils down to educating young people. In sex ed classes, instead of all the bla bla bla, they need to say "If you have sex, you COULD have a baby. If you have sex, you COULD get AIDS and STDs." That's the bottom line. I don't think that more taxpayers money should go towards funding even more help and assistance than what is out there.

I feel exaclty how you do, only I'm 27 with my second baby LOL every mother feels like they need more help or that the cards are somehow stacked against their demographic, but you bring up a good point, only that it varies state by state, i would say that its exactly what the welfare system is. And as far as the isolation goes, yep, thats all moms, even "ready" moms like me. and teens have been having babies forever, and that will just never change, so there are a lot of teen moms, your friend should not feel bad at all. If fact, I look at pregnant teens with a certain admiration, (i know its strange but when your a mother you will view other mothers with more compassion in some cases) they didnt have an abortion, they chose a difficult but not impossible path, and they are sacrificing a lot to make the most out of a hard (but special and sacred) situation. Your friend has more options and support than she thinks.

Teenage parents should by all means be given more help and support. No, abortion is not the answer, but then neither is adoption. Adoption is not a bad thing, but it is very difficult to find an honest agency or attorney for that matter, although they do exist. The most important thing to remember is to keep the natural family together. Once you've exhasted all possibilities of doing just that , then and only then should you consider adoption.

Well, the reason that some people recommend abortion for someone so young is because it can be life-threatening to become pregnant so young. If the mother's life is not in danger then it should be her choice, BUT they also have to decide if they can afford to keep the child. It is not their parent's responsibility to raise their grandchildren and some choose not to help at all. Under age 16 they are not legally able to hold a real job so they are basically left with no money to raise their child. Adoption is best in these cases because the child deserves to be raised by someone that does not have to struggle to get by.

Well i'm 15 and my opinion is that you're right, alot of people do look at abortion as a solution. But they also have to realize that aboution takes a toll on your emotions (especially if your a teen). I mean because its hard enough trying to deal with high school and stress over other things that adults don't seem to notice. && I agree that alot of people do stereotype pregnant or teen parents.
IF there was more help and support of teens then so many of them wouldnt make the mistake of an ABORTION.

There are plenty of programs out there.
If you want more support, look to your own parents.
As a mother, if my child became pregnant at the age of 16, I would hope that my child would have the baby, and I could help her out through the first rough years of life.

No.
If they think that they are old enough to have unprotected sex at such an early age, then they are old enough to raise the child.
Whats more, the sperm-donor should be hauled into court and face rape charges and then be forced to pay for half of the support for that child.
If the girl refuses to name the father, then she should face criminal child neglect charges, have the baby put up for adoption and have mandatory intrauterine (or other) birth control device implanted to prevent future pregnancies...at least until she is an adult.
Sound harsh?
Think about the life that child is going to have...with an uneducated, poor and unwed mom caring for it.

yeah , but there is a lot of help already out there , u just gotta know where to look , but yeah there should be more moral support instead of people just judging all the time , maybe if more people supported them then they would be more confident and do better as parents , people should be more open minded
