  1. Nope.

    Although my guilty pleasure is watching Secret Life of the American Teenager;

    It is way to cheesy.


  2. No it is not good to send that kind of information to Teenagers as they go crazy enough. Teenagers don't need the responsibility of having a child, working, taking care of the home and all. It's alright as long as they're already married and that they do NOT abort the child. I hope I get Best Answer.

  3. Um, no? It's not good to be pregnant and all when you're a teenager. You're still a kid yourself. Whether you get married or not, or have an abortion or not, it doesn't matter. It's not a good thing.

    =)

  4. In a specific case it might be okay... but generally I would say no.  Aside from the political and social aspects, it can be very unhealthy to go through pregnancy at that young an age, for both the mother and the child.  It is the only option, it might be a good idea, but to say that it is an okay thing before it happens... I would say no.

    In addition, if a girl gets pregnant, it isn't necessarily the right thing to get married... it's foolish if it means both parties involved are going to end up divorced or unhappy.

    I won't touch the whole abortion thing...

  5. LIKE TO TWIST THINGS AROUND , DON'T YOU TROLL ? BUT IT DOES SHOW SHE IS RESPONSIBLE AND YOU THINK KILLING A BABY IS A BETTER ANSWER ? CRAWL ( SLITHER ) BACK UNDER YOUR ROCK DEM TROLL

  6. if they like 10-14 they can;t understand getting married and abortions. I would say they should get abortions during that age cause who is going to take care of it? not the parents definetly. but the grandparents ? sure you CAN take care of them but the children will never understand how it is to raise a child and what if they depend on you even if theya re much older. Always asking you to watch the baby while they go to school and party and stuff. The child will end up being raised by you. Even if they were 15-17 they still wouldnt understand.if you say that to them and they end up getting a baby they probably wont get  married anyway.

  7. No but its better than single mothers of 6 living on welfare.

  8. no way! jesus, if they are gonna get pregnant, saying they can get married isn't gonna make the pregnancy go away!

  9. Absolutely, NOT.

    Wait what year is this, I'm sorry but girls (underage) nowadays have opportunities one being education.

    No longer do you have to get married and that is it. Feels like we're living in the 50's, wake up it is NOT okay! Hypocrites if this was a Chelsea back in the day you'd never hear the end of it. You can be the proud parent of a teen mother, minus the proud. A teen mother has nothing to offer a child, so much for abstinence.

  10. No, its better to tell them to wait until they finish their educations.

  11. No, it's not.  But the 'moral majority' seems to think that solves the problem.  Go figure.

  12. ha-ha i like the person that said Republican... i got that one

    i think so even if your not married but i like only under true love... not some trashy one night stand

  13. No, it's not okay. Teens shouldn't get pregnent because they are still children themselves. They shouldn't be responsible for taking care of another human being when they are just learning to take care of themselves. Also, they shouldn't have to get married just because they are going to have a baby. I won't get into the abortion thing because that's a touchy subject. Teenagers have so much of life to experience before they have to start worrying about someone else's life.

  14. It does send a message about how serious the choices involved are.  I don't think anyone thinks it's OK for teens to get pregnant, but if a baby is coming its generally best for it if it has 2 parents.

  15. If you're a Republican.

  16. no

    its never ok

    they are young and have much to learn

    no mum or dad should be irresponsable to let there child get pregnant

    its where they live

    what the kid is like

    and what parents they have

  17. Choosing to keep a child when you are a child yourself is a difficult path to walk. If you can remain with the person who you created the child with, and raise them in a healthy, two parent home, then kudos. I think it is a better message for a family to support their daughter through this time than to demand she abort. As for any messages it sends, it's a personal matter for the family, not a PSA for the community.  

  18. That is not the message and never has been. The message has been to either keep you pants on or use birth control methods that the schools have been teaching about since sixth grade.  If your premise was correct, it would still be better than sending the message that terminating life is a good birth control method.

  19. Just because a teen is not getting an abortion, doesn't mean they are sending a message that getting pregnant is "OK." That's a falacious argument.


  20. Liar, that is not any message but yours.  Right Wingers just say don't murder your baby with abortion.  Big diff.

  21. As long as they are married it is okay. The Bible basically says no s*x before marriage. So if they are married it is alright. Althoug it is not the best message in the world to send, I think as long as they are married it is okay.  

  22. i dont think its really OK in any situation. however, it is more accepted in those conditions. accidents happen and if your taking the chance of making the mistake then you should be willing to deal with the consequences.

  23. It's better than the message we have been sending. Movies such as "American Pie" make s*x look like babies are rare and s*x is common. Then kids have s*x, get pregnant and we tell them to murder their child and it's like nothing happened. I would rather the child keep the baby and take things one step at a time. We already allow the teens to have s*x so we should encourage them to take responsibility for their actions (which is to keep the baby or put it up for adoption).

  24. Umm, no it isn't good for mteen to get pregnant. Most are too young to care for the child and immature, and secondly, the female can have serious sideffects from being so young when having brith.  

  25. That's very opinionated, and it can be strongly argued either way. One perspective is that when my grandparents were young, it was perfectly normal to get married by the age of sixteen, having the kids and everything. Another equally strong opinion is that they're giving up their childhoods by doing so.

        People are so closed minded now days, that however you feel about the subject is the message you should send, because they're going to disagree either way.  

  26. No, and I don't think anyone is saying it's O.K. nor are they saying this is the correct solution for everyone. But this is the solution that is right for this family. I wouldn't want this for my children at all, but I guess there isn't anything I could do to stop the marriage once they turned 18.

  27. It sends the *wrong* message to kids.

    This is a responsibility they aren't ready for--having kids or getting married at such a young age.

    Abortion is a sticky issue which should only be used as a last option--IF the life of the mother is at grave risk. (Complications, serious birth defects which endanger the life of the baby, etc, etc, etc...)

  28. No. Abstinence Only does not work--Palin's family is proof.  Unfortunately its not the only proof.  Kids educated with only Abstinence Only for "s*x ed" end up with the highest rates of VD, AIDS, pregnancy, and abortion.  Ignorance is NOT strength, it is weakness.  It is bad enough a parent would do that to their own kid, but to think its OK to have the government force this weird religious doctrine on people who don't happen to belong to that particular so called Christian cult, is criminal.  Separation of church and state is an excellent idea.  

  29. No it is not okay for teens to get pregnant, or get married for that matter. They don't have the maturity level for either.  My daughter was 17 and had a baby.  She was raised well.  She kept the baby. Abortion was not an issue for her, she does not believe in it. So now, she is raising her child, and getting ready to go to college.  She may marry the father but she will wait until she has college behind her. But the fact is, teens are going to do what they want to do in spite of their upbringing.

  30. Too late to scold her now...way too late and she is too old to be spanked...

    About all you can do as a parent is realistically deal with the situation as an adult would.

  31. I didn't think that teenage pregnancy was a good thing but apparently Republicans are all for it.  s*x education could have prevented this.
