How relevant is the problem in your country?

Have you ever had an experience with sb who had this problem?

Answer 1

yeah. I go to a school of 1500 and we have t lest 30 pregnant girls at my highschool.

Answer 2

Well heres the downlow. DONT GET PREGNATE! if you do get pregnate in the teen years, you are basically screwed. My cousin had to deal with this and he is only 16 so.. he cant go to school and now he works at a fast food resteraunt. it feels pleasing but lol dont do it. it wont feel pleasing after you have the kid. =P

Answer 3

Very prevelant.

No, I've not had experience with pregnant teens.

Answer 4

Its a problem in America,  on what scale I don't know, every now and again a newspaper writes about it.

Answer 5

Teenage pregnancy is a huge problem in the United States, and only seems to be getting worse.  I myself was pregnant for the first time when I was only 15, and it is a very complicated, expensive, and exhausting situation.  In my case, it was by accident, and I suppose some stupidity, but there are so many teenage girls out there that are purposely getting pregnant at young ages because they think that having a baby is going to be fun.  I really wish that some people could see what I went through and change the way they act before it's too late.  It not only ruins these girls' lives, but isn't good for the baby involved either.

Answer 6

Pretty relevant (UK).

Yes, but, she married the guy and they have turned into being really good parents and ...so, as a 'problem' it hasn't been really experienced as 'a problem'.

Sash.

Answer 7

its a very big problem in my country.

whats  sb?

Answer 8

Scotland is worse, its like one of the most counts of teenage pregnancy in the world.

i honestly dont have that a big problem with it, if someone is sure that this is what they want then why stop them,  there body there choice, suffer the consenquences. but its a shame that its most of them that regret it afterwards, and arent mature enough to look after one and think its cool.

my best mate had a son at 16, but she is a brilliant mum and would do anything for him, its a shame not everyone feels the same.

Answer 9

it's a huge problem all over this country(usa). i have had an experience with it, me. it's my biggest regret and when it happened my mother didn't let me have any choice as to what to do about it. the results were tragic. my whole life since then has pretty much sucked. my son lives with my mother instead of me because frankly i have no attachment to him whatsoever. it was really sad actually, i was at a teen mom website earlier and the question was asked 'where do you see yourself in 10 years?' the sad part was the optimistic answers these girls had like they would go to law school, medical school, own a company, etc..i'm not saying every teen mom is destined for failure. i hope those girls dreams do come true but realisticaly speaking, they won't.

Answer 10

It is a MASSIVE problem (England)

And yes I have....me, I totally panicked, did not know what to do, as it was in a one-off situation where I was taken advantage of and very drunk....it ended up in very early miscarriage though before I had the chance to seriously think about what to do..

There are also a few pregnant girls in my school..
