I would like to find out what teenagers think of teenage mothers?

Question

Dont be so close minded when answering please.

Alright, This is for babyPooh, I am not a prostitiute and if you dont like the question then dont answer it, and i didnt ask do you think i am pregnant did i, why dont you read it again. . .

Answer 1

From what I've seen, teenagers are not practically, financially, or emotionally responsible enough to raise a baby. (let alone considering how they managed to get pregnant in the first place)
The other day in a bus interchange, is saw a teenage mum smack her baby in the face, and when her friend commented, she said "It was his fault, he wont shut up!"

Although... a friend of mine was married and had a baby girl at 19, and she is a wonderful mother. but she can barely be counted as a teenager.

Answer 2

I am a guy, but i think that they are some of the stupidest people out there, why, because life is short and there is so much more they could have done before getting pregnant. If they would wait another 5 to 8 years then they could experience so much more. I knew a 7th grader that was13 that was pregnant by a high schooler tha was 17. And she went around school bragging about it. Now at my school people were very stupid. And everybody thought it was awesome that she was pregnant. But they dont need to get pregnant until they are like 25. I dont plan on having kids until i ma around 25 to 30. I wnat to travel and see things before i have those kinds o fresposibilities.

Answer 3

I am not a teen, but my step daughter became a mother shortly after turning 18. Despite the fact that she was a legal adult, and that she had graduated high school, she is now, at 20, still completely dependant on others.

College was shoved aside for working full time for minimum wage, and she has been fired from 9 jobs in the past two years because of excessive tardiness and not showing up for work, citing not being able to find a sitter.

She, along with other teen moms like her, has thrown a serious curve into her future by acting irresponsibly and having a child before she was really even capable of caring for herself.

Sadly, she hasn't learned from the experience. At 20, she's expecting her 2nd (a different father) in July, she is unemployed and living off taxpayer's $$$ .

My belief is that no one should bring a child into this world until they are 100% independant, fully finacially capable of taking care of themselves and their child, and mature enough to understand the full responsibility of parenthood.

Answer 4

Eh...Well...My Mom turned 17 when she had me...It was about 3 motnhs after her 17th birthday that she did. I find realy ntohig wrong with it, as it is the persons choice. There is no law at all that says we can't breed by a certain age. We wouldn't get our periods so early if humans were designed for later-in-life reproduction. And the scary thing is now 8 and 9 year olds are starting to get theres...



Now, what you like the hear whats coming from my mind? The world is currently filled to the max and no one needs to make any more children for the next twenty yeqars or so. Because the world is so over populated and there is a very high demand for resources. We ripping apart the world very severly. Right now I stad on the same sex replation's side because I can agree that everyones breeding just for the hell of it. It disgusts me.

Buut, no eed to flame me for that, you can see today that is completely true.

I am agaist it as a child is the fun part of life.

Answer 5

ok well I think that they have basically accelerated their life, like they have started earlier than most. I mostly view them as very responsible because all the teenage mothers I know are good mothers. I know everyone else says they are irresponsible but those are the ones that get abortions, come on people! I know a range of teenager mothers starting at age 14. Mexican girls, the most common teenage mothers, well that is more in our culture and it's not as 'outcast'. It is normal for a 15-year-old to get pregnant from her boyfriend and it is celebrated. If I saw a teenage mother on the street honestly I would say I am jealous that she has already started her family! The only thing is I am finishing my education so I have not had a baby, plus I would not be able to financially support it yet.

Answer 6

Being completely honest. I mean completely. I tend to look down on them. That's not to say i think they're a bad person or that i don't respect them in some ways. But hte teen mothers I've met give up on other and ambitions and become just that a teen mother and nothing else. I guess I can't relate.
I suppose that I should respect their ability to be selfless and to dedicated thier life to another at such a young age. I don't think I could do it. I don't mean any offence to anyone thats just what I think. I cant say i'm all that proud of it. I like to think I open minded, but you cant be open minded about everything I guess.

Answer 7

I don't know if i find anything wrong with it. but i dont think teens that cant handle staying home taking care of a baby and doing things for the baby should have one. and if they think that the guy they are sleeping with is not going to be around if she gets pregnant i would even have sex with him. there is always a chance of getting pregnant even if you do use a condom. I don't think i girl that likes to party alot and cant even take care of her self should go out and have a baby.. i think thats just not right.. but i have some good friends that have babies and they are really good mothers.. one is 18 now but she was only 17 when she has the baby. and the other one is 16 and she is a really good mother. both of the daddies stayed with them and is helping out...

Answer 8

Answer 9

Im sick of these f'ing questions putting teenage mothers down. You must have no life to sit here and critisize other people! ok? I am 16, haveing my baby when i am 17. Me and my babys daddy have full time jobs, vehicles, licence., apartment, and plenty of love a support! I dont see why you care about us having kids.. not all of us (me) are living on welfare just because we are "teen mothers". i will give my child all the love in the world plus more.

Answer 10

I am a teen and i give teen mothers a whole lot of respect. They have a whole lot of responsibility and gain it in a short time. Being pregnant earlier in life isnt the end of the world, it infact is the start of your grown up life.
