Is teen pregnancy and teen parenthood something popular now?

Question

All of the buzz about Lynn Spears and how "great" it is being a parent (even though she had her baby about a minute ago), plus this ridiculous reality TV show about teens carelessly "caring" for other people's children seems far fetched from how many adults were raised. So, I ask, is this a new popular trend now? What do you think about this?

Answer 1

sorry i think it is wrong!! Lynn spears has the money to do it!!

Answer 2

Its absolutely ridiculous in these young teens.  I understand that I'm nearly in no place to talk, being pregnant at 20, but i have been in a relationship for 4 years and I am married.  I understand first hand though having a 15 year old sister.  I told her and her best friend the other day that i was going to have a baby and she smiled and said she wished she could be pregnant too.  Her best friend said the same thing.  what the h**l is wrong with kids these days?   wanting to get pregnant....

Answer 3

i think the trend is to say that have had s*x , you know to brag , but dont realize the consiquences of unprotected s*x.

Answer 4

im a teen and even i, myself doesnt think its right in my opinion if your gonna have s*x use protection or dont have s*x at all and when i say protection i mean birth control pills and a condem and also i think you should be over 17 but this is only my opinion and in my school yea everyone even the girls brag about having s*x and two of them were trying to get pregnant there only 14 years old

Answer 5

no way!

it just proves that they want it too be a trend but really there wasting their childhod!

Answer 6

unfortunately, it's a bad trend that started with the movie stars.  BUT!!! they have the money 2 hire an expeirenced older nanny to take care of their children! normal teen mothers dont hav that kinda money! but teen parenting isnt cool. the child takes time away from growing up, going to college, getting a job, cuz, unless u hav help, u cant go 2 skool all day n leave ur baby home. n it costs $ 2 leave 'em in daycare.

Answer 7

It sure seems to be.  I see a LOT of questions on here from teens about wanting to be pregnant, being pregnant, having 3 kids before they're out of their teens, etc.  And then there was that disturbing news story a week or so ago about the group of 17 high school girls who decided they were all going to get pregnant and did.......

However, I also heard that the teen pregnancy rate in the US is continuing to fall vs. the early 90s, so maybe not -- maybe it's just perception?

Answer 8

I think the baby borrowers is a good Idea...it shows these teens that its not all fun and games with being a parent and Maybe it will get them to think before just oh I want a baby! and Yes it is a trend now!

Answer 9

No it's not a trend, it just seems that way because of how they constantly publicized Jamie Lynn Spears.

Answer 10

unfortunately, yes. I went to wal-mart yesterday and saw a whole flock of pregnant teenagers! It's just wrong.

Answer 11

no. s*x is a popular trend in teens now. why? i dont know. but teens carelessly have unprotected s*x. and that leads to pregnancy. and that makes it look like its a popular trend but it isnt. just the s*x part is and the babys come along with the package.
