Opinion On Teenage Mums?

Question

What is your opinion on teenage mums that CAN provide for there children?

One of my closest friends had a baby 3 months ago at the age of 14 but the difference is she is able to provide for her child, she herself is extremly rich, not her parents, her. Do you still think it is wrong? What are your views on this?

Answer 1

Personally i have a very split opinion on teenage pregnancy i do not think the financial position of someone can then go on saying how she will be determind as a mother, weather or not she is well off or poor you still have to go through the emotions of been a mother, e.g post natal depression, do not get me wrong money plays a key part in a babies life to make sure he/she is well kept however it all lays on her maturity, if she is single or with a partner and if she intends to carry on with school or eventually let her money run out and then claim beneifts of the state and tax payers

Answer 2

I was a teenage mom that provided a lot, not all but most for my children.  And to the person above, the only way I can think that a 14 can be "rich" is have saved all money that she has ever received, that is how I had money, all of my money from birthdays, and any other holiday had gone into the bank since I can remember, but it doesn't last too long when you have children.

Answer 3

well if you insist that she can provide she still needs to teach him how to talk and how to walk and how to potty train.

but how can you be a responsible person if you are going to make your parents cart you and your baby to and from places?

and the babys dad and her are probably not together because the boy got cold feet.

it WAS a dumb disicion.

sorry but she sounds like a mess.

and YES it is bad.

don't act like it isn't.

teenage moms probably would be better if they could DRIVE, BE ABLE TO HOLD A JOB, and modeling might not work out because she may get heavy from stress, and singing might not even fall through.

Answer 4

well id love to know how she got rich at the age of 14!

but i think as long as a teenage mum can love care and be a good mother to their child then they cannot be faulted. even those who cant provide, people make mistakes, maybe some boy promised them the earth and then took it away after he got what he wanted. she can still be a good mum, but with a bit of help, either from the govt or from her parents.

i know mother of 30 who i wouldnt rate as a good mother. age is really nothing to do with being a good mum. people look down on me, im 23 with a 9.5mos old girl, im with her daddy and he works hard to provide for us and we live comfortably, but there are still people who think they have a right to judge if your not married before you have a baby.

Answer 5

14 is way to young to be a mom. But what's done is DONE. Her baby is here. If she's mature enough & as long as her baby as healthy, taken care of & well, then I guess they will be fine. Lucky she's rich & not struggling like some teen mum's out there!

Answer 6

How can a 14 year old be rich. To have a job in a company you need to be 16, to have a driver's liscence, you need to be 16, how can she be rich ? email me that answer

Answer 7

Well, the fact that she can financially care for a child is not a license to have one. I think that at 14, you lack maturity and life experience to be a parent. Not saying that you can't be a good parent, but it is much more beneficial to live a little more before you bring another life into the world.

Answer 8

I think that it is none of mine or anyone else's business.As long as she takes care of her child,I would never say a thing about it.Who am I, or anyone else for that matter, to judge her?

ETA-

That came out wrong.I was just saying that as long as she can provide for her child,I would not ever say anything bad about it.:) I try my best not to judge anyone.
