ok i am doing a report on teen pregnacy what is your opoion on the subject?

Answer 1

If you are talking about diminishing teen pregnancy then I honestly believe that the people pushing the abstinence only idea are idiots. People have been mating for millions of years now and it's very irresponsible to tell kids to just avoid having sex when you know that the older generation didn't follow this supposedly simple piece of advice. Parents and teachers who push this are not only idiots, but hypocrites. Oh, did I mention irresponsible? You also know that teenagers are going through normal hormonal changes and they are not going to follow the abstinence only advice.
No, the only solution that I can see to help reduce the amount of teen pregnancies is to educate young people about sex and to encourage them to practice so called "safe sex". (There's no such thing as truly safe sex, but that's another subject by itself.) Encourage young people to use condoms and other prophylactics and show them the proper way to use them. Showing young people this is not encouraging them to have sex, because young people are going to do it anyway and there isn't a damn thing we can do to prevent it. No, educating young people about the safest ways to have sex is the appropriate route, though it may be embarrassing, you are going to diminish teen pregnancy and hopefully STDs as well. After all, young people are going to find out about this stuff anyway, but they are going to find out the wrong way unless something can be done to prepare them.

Answer 2

I am so not happy with children having children. Teens today think nothing of having oral sex, intercourse, etc. There is plenty of time in life for all of that. Grow up first so you can be a parent to a child. Learn the ways of the world, find a nice man who has also learned the ways of the world and can afford a family. Start out dating, get to know each other, fall in love, get engaged, get married, travel, have a life together for a while, save money and when you are ready have a baby. Where there is no maturity, no stability mentally or financially how can anyone hope to have a family with a child. I am sorry to say but the past few generations have truly caused a burden on society with there out of wedlock babies. I'm sure those woman weren't too happy in their situations after the fact either. It's time society started thinking with the head on their shoulders. No baby would choose to come into this world with a child as a parent and no money or housing to take care of them. AND as many tax payers in this country, I AM SICK TO DEATH OF PAYING FOR THEIR CHILDREN (WELFARE ). It's difficult enough to take care of myself let alone a nation of unwed parents and their kids. Children are great and they deserve to be with two parents who love each other.

Answer 3

I had a little boy when I was 17. He is the best thing that ever happened to me. His father and I are still together and very much in love, and have our second one on the way. You don't have to be married to have a happy family, we aren't and we couldn't be happier. Where I live birth control is available for all, and its free. I think it is a lack of responsibility when it comes to birth control, I say that from first hand experience. If you don't want to get pregnant, don't have sex. I can't put it more plain than that. Having a child makes you grow up, or it did me anyway, and it was for the best. I love being a mom, there is no better feeling in the world!!!!

Answer 4

Well for starters im 19 pregnant(with my first child) and married, so therefore i dont see the problem with me having a baby. But then there are the girls who have a baby at the age of 15 then another one by the age of 18. There i see a problem. I believe that teenage girls who are not in serious committed relationships should either be abstinent or they should be on birth control. A lot of girls that were in my highschool that got pregnant, did not take care of there own kids they had their parents take care of them while they still went out and partied. And also a lot of the teenage boys did not want to take care of the child at all and they want nothing to do with that child. So therefore i think teenage pregnancy in teenage girls is wrong. UNLESS they are married or engaged.

Answer 5

I think it is a shame that little kids get pregnant and that they did not have enough sense to go and get put on birth control or atleast rob their little sister's piggy bank for 75 cents to buy a condom.

If some parent's would stop acting like their teenager is so perfect and that they are not having sex and just put them on birth control then they would not get pregnant in the first place.

Why have a baby if you cannot afford a 75 cent condom?

Birth control is free at the health department so why don't they use it and oh yea you do not need the permission of your parent's to do so.

I think that teenage pregnancy is sad and pathetic.

Answer 6

I think that everyone who has answered negatively to this question should think twice before answering badly about teenage pregnancies. I was 17, unmarried, and used protection, when I got preg. with my first. I was 6 months preg when I graduated high school and my oldest is now 4. Her dad is a dead beat and I made the decision to take my daughter and myself out of his life...and I was even a teenager mother. Just because a girl gets preg when she's young doesn't mean she can't be a great mother. I have worked my butt off to support my daughter and give her what she wants and needs by myself...no child support...nothing. So..you tell me, when it comes down to it...when the father is a drug addict...does the child still need both her parents?!

Answer 7

My opinion on teen pregnancy?

There's nothing wrong with it if the teenager is married and ready for a baby. My cousin married at 18 and had a baby right off. They are great parents.

If you are talking about unmarried teenage girls having babies, then that is a big problem in society. Babies need mothers and fathers.

Answer 8

Your question is kind of vague. Depends on what you want my opinion on. Lack of teenage birth control practices? Lack of knowledge among teens? Personally, I feel that most teenage pregnancy can be prevented if we stop trying to stop THEM from having sex. Teens are going to do it regardless of what anyone says. And if we make birth control available to all, we wouldn't have nearly as many teenage parents.

Answer 9

it's wrong!
