Question

Do you think it's wrong to get pregnant at 17?

Answer 1

no im 14 and im pregnant but as long as you feel its nothing wrong with it,it really doesnt matter what everybody else thinks

Answer 2

Morally? I don't know, that's up to your own beliefs.

Practically? 17 is still high school. It's never a good idea to have a baby in high school. Plus, if you were planning on going to college, now you can't, or if you manage it it will be very hard. It will be hard to get jobs with no experience and a baby, too.

If you have a supportive partner and you've been dating for many years, and he is okay with it and willing to support you, it could work. Be sure it's what you both want, though.

Answer 3

Its young but i am not going to say wrong because some people have things that happened to them to get in the situation some are irresponsible to get in the situation.... some have bad luck and use protection and get prego anyways.... but i do think it is young because of the situation i am in being 17 and having a son that is only 3 months old...it takes ur teen years away that you have longed for  

Answer 4

It's only wrong if you are still in school, have no job and are relying on your family to help you. When you become a parent you have to provide for your child. Sometimes you can ask for help and some people in your family will surely help, but you have to do it. at 17 you are not ready! All those parties and fun you will have. What about college have you considered that. Daycare is expensive you almost have to have a second job to afford it. I have 2 kids and I had my first one when I was 19. i had a job, my own apartment, a boyfriend that I had been with for 2 years, and you have to consider all of those things because it's not about you anymore. every dime is for the child first. Don't waste your life. Children are great to have when you are settled in your life when you are working on your goal and mentally ready. because kids drain every ounce of life form you, and if you are young like most young mothers you have the child and see that it is difficult. why do you think that alot of babies end up in the trash, or in adoption it's not something to played with childbirth is a life altering experience. ALWAYS ALWAYS WRAP IT UP, s*x IS A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. AND CHILDREN ARE NOT CHEAP!! BE WISE.

Answer 5

I think it would be easier if you wait a little longer..

Answer 6

I got pregnant at 17 and I kept my baby. It was rough I won't lie but now I have 2 more kids also. I love my life no matter how difficult it can be.

Answer 7

no hunny

things happen

dont listen to negative people

Answer 8

it depends on your maturity and if you can handle having two people to look after.

Answer 9

I believe any kind of intentional teen pregnancy is wrong.  

Answer 10

I ended up getting pregnant at 16 and had the baby at 17. But as long as I finish school, I'm not so worried about it. So no, I do not think it is wrong to get pregnant at 17.  People should know the consequences of their actions.

Answer 11

It makes life harder, and I guess its irresponsible

Answer 12

I think it's wrong to PLAN to get pregnant at 17, but let's face it...it happens "by accident" and I would never condemn someone for that.  I would hope they would find the support and resources they needed to take care of their child.  

Answer 13

Yes I don't think that any one under 18 or any one that does not live on there own and can't even take care of them selves should have a child because how can you take care of a child if you are still trying to figure out how to take care of your self.

Answer 14

Unless your independently wealthy...YES its wrong to bring a baby into the world without their mother having financial stability as well as housing stability!

Answer 15

Yes.  Maturity just isn't there at 17.  You also have not secured your financial status, etc.  Not fair to the kid.

Answer 16

if you are married and finished you school and your husband too then it is not wrong but not smart, but if you are not married and still in school it is WRONG

Answer 17

I don't think it's wrong, I think it's stupid.

If you want to ruin your life and the babies life, then by all means go right ahead.

Answer 18

It's not fair to anyone really, because the child doesn't always get the best start in life and a lot of times the family has to end up helping with everything.  

Answer 19

no it's ok i'm preggo at 13

Answer 20

I don't think anyone WANTS to get pg at 17 but it does happen.  I know many women who had babies at 17.  

Its life it just happens.  And everything happens for a reason.

Answer 21

No. It happens. But most people have a problem with it. I mean at 17 it shouldn't really be a planned pregnancy... But if it happens it happens... Be careful next time.

Answer 22

i think that it is wrong unless you are married and settled into a healthy life long relationship, because this is what is best for you and the daddy and the baby that is on the way.

Answer 23

it's not really wrong as society makes it out to be, it's just harder since alot of 17 year olds aren't done with school.  That's really it.

Answer 24

Yes it is wrong and for the people who give me thumbs down, F U
