Answer 1

Answer 2

I was fifteen when I became pregnant and no I did not want to get pregnant but was young and stupid I would not change it for any thing in the world now though I had a beautiful baby daughter I was misinformed about pregnancy I was told that the first time you cant get pregnant wrong or if you stood up right after u wouldn't get pregnant wrong I had sex with the guy so he would like me more that was also wrong I ended up raising a baby at age 15 with out the father because he said she wasn't his DNA proved different. I have always told my daughters at age 14 15 or even 13 your mind says no but your body says yes you in the heat of the moment do not think about the consequences now days I think they think this is a way out of the circumstances they are in bad family life or whatever but having a child being a child is not the answer to this. I have had to give my child hood up to raise my child no home comings no proms no fun girls now days have babies and the state will pay their rent and utilities and supply food stamps its like an enabler or a way out. All I can say is stay as young as long as you can and don't be a child raising a child a baby is a life long responsibility and it is not fair to the baby

Answer 3

Because they are preprogrammed to. Keep in mind that it has not been all that long, in the scheme of things, when the average marriage age WAS 15. In fact, in many parts of the world, the average marriage age is 13 or 14. People used to only live to the age of 45, so it made sense. With industrialization and modern medicine that came with it, the young age is no longer required, but biologically, the drive is still there.

Secondly, for many young girls, they grew up playing with dolls and this is just a new doll for them. Or it's something for them to love. Happily, the number of girls getting pregnant under the age of 15 is down and getting lower.

Answer 4

Part of it is biological, but the biggest part of it is because teens, today, especially girls, are looking for someone to give them the love and attention that they are so desperately craving.

With the high rate of single-parent homes and the high rate of the "2-working parent" homes, today's children are desperately lacking in love and attention. All of the child developement studies show that "quality time" doesn't cut it! Children require quantity time and lots of it!

The sad thing is that these children have no concept of how much work a baby is. They don't realize that a baby requires lots of love before it will learn to give love and they don't realize that a baby will not fill the void that only Jesus Christ can fill. Parents are meant to be a physical example of the love of Jesus Christ. Sadly this is very often not the case.

Other factors why children want to have babies is because they want to rebel, keep a boyfriend or escape from a particular situation.

Answer 5

There are three main reasons that girls that age want children! The first one is that they want someone to love them, children love their parents right? Wrong!!! Children aren't really capable of love what they love is that you take care of them and that you tell them that you love them so they repeat it back to you. But a child under the age of about 15 really isn't capable of loving the parent for the parents sake or because the parent is a person separate from them. Chidlren younger than that love you for what you do for them, you provide them with love, clothes, toys, food, home and you help teach them that's what they love. Girls that age don't really think of a baby as a living breathing person with their own needs and wants, they think of them as something that they can dress up and show off and that they can say that they are a mother. They aren't thinking about a baby that might have colic and cry 20 out of 24 hours of the day or a baby born with birth defects. Even if the baby is perfectly healthy they still need a lot of attention and care that a child that young is unable to truly give the child but they aren't thinking about that. The third reason that they want to have a baby is because they think it's a way to keep the father as their boyfriend. They really aren't thinking of the baby as a live being more like a doll that they can pick up and play with when they want and put down when they don't want to deal with them. That's one reason that some of the schools now have the anti-pregnancy programs to prove to these kids that babies are real and that they need more than food and clothes that look cute. It's the one thing that's constant with girls that age they think about the clothes that they can dress the child up in. I've had a lot of experince in this area and I feel sorry for the child born to parents that age. IT takes them about 10 to 12 years to realize that they should have waited about that amount of time to have their children at the very least finish high school so that you have some kind of shot at a job. But these kids are so hungry for love and acceptance that they aren't thinking of the consequences. We have to teach them to love themselves so that they know that there is more to live than having children. That's the fourth reason that these girls have children early because they don't think that they have a shot at a good job or that they are even capable of finishing high school, the one thing that they know that they can do is have children, so they do. We have to teach them that they are capable of a live that will fulfill them besides having children before they are truly ready for them.

Answer 6

Because, at that age they don't understand "forever". They don't understand getting up three or four times a night to feed a hungry newborn, even though you have to go to school the next morning. They don't understand that when your friends want to go to the mall, or to a movie, or to just hang out, that they won't be going along, because the baby is teething, or may be coming down with a cold. They don't understand that they won't be able to buy that cute swimsuit they see in the window, because they barely have enough to buy another box of diapers that they are almost out of - again. They don't understand that they will be "Mom" now, and they won't be asked to babysit this weekend instead of going out with their friend -they will just do it. They don't understand that when the newness of being a teenage father wears off with their boyfriend, and he decides to look for another relationship that does not have all the inherent responsibilities of being a father- that they will not have that kind of choice. They will not be going anywhere. These are just some of the things that young girls don't think about when they think about having a baby.

Answer 7

Well being someone who had her first child at 16 I have to disagree with most of the rude comments on here. My ex and I had a baby because we were in love. She was planned. It may not have been the smartest thing I ever did, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I raised her. And not on welfare. She is 15 now and quite a kid. I wasn't out looking for any sort of love, neither did I have low self esteem or no respect for myself. We wanted a child to love just like we loved each other. We also worked and had our own place by the time we turned 17 and were already married. Don't group young kids having babies into one group. They don't all fit. Now for all those girls out there getting pregnant to keep a guy.. they are idiots. They don't understand that boys run when responsibility is thrown at them. Today too many kids have no parents. Doesn't matter if mommy or daddy is missing. Grandparents are raising them. Sad but true. I raised mine and I take offense to all the snide rude little comments on here about young girls having babies. I raised mine not the system. And I am still raising mine. I work and receive no assistance. Her father is involved. What a bunch of crap some of you had to say. ICK

Answer 8

I am not that age but alot of my friends at that age had kids i think it has to do with the parents not stayin on them like they did back in the day. U see young kids going to the movies at 14 and 15 ith no parent come on that would be the perfect time to do what u want u hav a hour to 2 hours to do what u want how will they know or they let them stay at friends houses with out talkin to the other parents and making sure they are there. We as parents or going to be parents needs to stand up and make sure are kids are doing what they are suppost to do instead of thinking everyone else can rasie our kids for us !!!

Answer 9

Well i didn't have my son until a bit later but usually it has to do with deeper meanings. Feeling like they have a purpose, or usually it has to do with feelings of abandonment with either the father or mother, not having that loving relationship they figure if they have a baby it is someone who will give them all the love they are missing. Sometimes its about control..to have something that they have control over, maybe when their life seems out of control. Other times is just bad examples, if a mother has a child at a young age that child usually repeats the pattern.

Answer 10

Most girls at this age feel as though that no one loves them. They feel that if they have a baby then the baby will love them. In my opinion, it's a lack of security and love. Girls just don't understand that they must take on huge responsibilities in order to have and take care of a baby. Once you get pregnant and have that baby, you're life is down the drain. You'll have to end up getting a job to pay for what your baby needs such as diapers, milk, food, etc. Most girls drop out of school and end up working at dead end jobs for the rest of their lives. I wish to have a baby but I plan on waiting until a little into college or after college. I want to live my life, not fu** it up.

Answer 11

Teen girls are doing no more than was done through previous generations, having children when able genetically. With the exception to a short period running from the late 19th century through to the 1960's the sight of young mothers was not wholly strange. During the 15th and 16th century it was very common practice for motherhood to begin at such an early age.
Despite modernity attempting to create new boundaries aimed at improving life chances the genetic makeup of humanity will always force its way back to the fore.
