Is anyone else sick of these young girls getting pregnant,then claiming that they can actually raise the child

Answer 1

Yes. I agree. I'm in my early 20's and I can barely take care of myself some days. Life is hard, you need an education and a good job. I don't know how these girls think they can survive.

I honestly think that girl who are younger then 18 (age of legal adulthood) should not have custody of their children. They should go a parent, grandparent, sister, aunt or someone that can take better care of them until they are legally able to take care of themselves. If you are under the age of 18, in may state you are still under your parents care. Therefore, if one can't legal care for themselves, how are they going to legally care for an infant.

These girls need to get an education and then get a job.

If you are over 18, than legally you are an adult. No one else in life is legally responsible for them. But., under 18 someone is.

Answer 2

Yes, i am. But this is life. We just subject ourselves to listening/reading more of it because we are on here!!!!
These girls are also on here because they are in need of support and guidance. They are trying. I know if i was a pregnant young girl, i would claim i can raise my child too. What sort of person would i be if i said there's no way i could ever raise a child. What options does a girl have then? Abortion? Give the child up for adoption?
I think most of these girls somewhat Brave!! Most are also misinformed (or not informed at all) , and guided by a false sense of maturity.
Mistakes happen, choices are made, and you deal with it.

Answer 3

PinkLove22, you are an idiot. You don't take someones baby away based on their age. I don't have enough patience right now to explain how wrong you are; your opinion and your "legal" facts.

I had my oldest child when I was 17. I finished high school and college, taking honors classes the entire time. I am very well educated; and so are my children. In fact, the child I had at 17 is now 12; he is in the gifted program in school. He has never brought anything but A's home. He was nominated for; and attended a week long leadership program in Washington DC this spring. He is involved in band, student council, KNOTS (a program in which kids mentor other kids with Asperger's or autism), sports, and many other activities. I am raising my children very well, my age had nothing to do with it.

Now, I realize that teen motherhood is not an ideal situation. However, I fear people who are ignorant enough to make a blanket statement regarding an entire group of people. Hmmm..... it's like racism, but called ageism. It's very closed minded to stereotype.

Answer 4

I think thats crazy. My mom was 15 when she got pregnant with my oldest sister. She went on to have 3 babies by the same man (our father) She graduated highschool, college, and now has a great job. So for you to say young people cant raise a baby is the most ridiculous thing ever. I think they just need a little help here and there. So dont be putting people down just because of one of your stupid opinions. Its people like you that make young people thank they cant do it. Sure its gonna be hard but it is possible!!!

Answer 5

i have to say that the other day i realized just how completely absurd it is for a 16 15 14 etc year old to be a parent. at that age i was all about rebelling and my parents were wrong and when i had a kid i wasn't going to tell them no. I'm not saying that it cant be done but i don't see how. i was a young mother at only 22 I'm 24 now. but i am married and we have always been able to take care of our son but i do feel like i should have given i t a few more years. what is the rush?

Answer 6

personally even though I am 30 and by no means young, I get sick of people presuming just because someone is young that they CANT look after a baby, it even makes the young person themselves believe they cant.

I had my first at 18, I planned all my children and I love being a mother, and although I havent won any awards, I consider myself to be a good mum.

2 of my best friends were 15 when they had their first, they were young, by anyones terms, but judgemental people like you made them feel like they shouldnt have their children, luckily they ingored ignorant idiots and it turns out they are wonderful mums.

perhaps you should get off your high horse and offer some support, because whether you like it or not if they are pregnant, they are having a baby, and they need support not criticism.

Answer 7

It saddens me. It's worse when they WANT to get pregnant. I wish there was some service where you'd have to take care of a screaming baby with colic for a weekend, while your friends call you from clubs and tell you how much fun they're having. Maybe that would deter these girls.

Answer 8

they messed up and so they have to pay the price...the males are the ones im actually mad at. because they are the ones who get them pregnant, but they choose to run away from there "mistake" they should be helping her out and not leaving her to herself. my birth father did this to my mom soif i find him ima beat the living (FbeepG) (SbeepT) out of him.

Answer 9

why DONT THEY GET MARRIED FIRST?, THATS WHAT BUGS ME
