So what people are basically saying now is that its okay for teens to get pregnant?

Question

Judging from some of the answers I see abt teen pregnant adults are saying its okay. SO YOU HEAR THAT GO HAVE BABIES CUZ THEY MAKING IT ALRIIGHT...... I really feel pity this world. I guess in like some years people my age are gonna be having babies and its gonna be okay. Instead of trying to stop it you people are like encouraging it. Sad Sad Sad...

Answer 1

This concept is going to be over your head, I know, but it's not the babies that are the problem. To eliminate the babies or the pregnancies is to treat the symptom, not the disease. The disease, which is teen s*x in case you haven't guessed, will progress unabated even if you could take those nasty consequences away. Which you can't.

The only way to significantly reduce teen pregnancy is to make teen s*x socially unacceptable again. Since that hasn't happened, teen pregnancy is naturally going to be a problem. Cause and effect. No amount of birth control or governmental overreach can change that.

Answer 2

God. Just thinking of me, or any teen getting pregnant, in teen years or anyone younger than 18.... I so agree getting pregnant in teen years is absolutely disgraceful, i mean, jesus...  and you know, those lives are basically ruined with these sweet, innocent babies who were brought into this world by insecure, possibly "S****y" girls who were either trying to advertise, and do what everyone said, or it was "true love" and they didn't protect themselves... actually they shouldn't have s*x at all!

IT'S CRAZY! WHAT THE h**l ARE THEY THINKING?

Answer 3

SHUT YOUR DUMB A$S UP

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL

Answer 4

I know its so stupid. Everyone is happy about teen pregnancy now. Because you see people on here who are asking "how can i tell my mom im pregnant? Im only 13,14,15, and 16?" and other questions like that. THEN you see answers like this "Oh honey im so happy for you and your baby. Just tell your mom she will get over it"



That just gets me so mad because, why should you be happy? So basically people on here are practically promoting teen pregnancy by saying things like that. You just know that if you see a question about a 13 year old asking how to tell her mom shes pregnant your gonna get answers like that. People are saying, 'oh yeah its ok to get pregnant at 13 or 14 or whatever age'

So what? No one on here cares about education? Wow, your are sooo right, i feel pity for this world too.

* I feel like i understand because i feel the exact same way.*

Answer 5

Your mad because people didn't agree with you about having the government take their babies away.

If a teen gets pregnant, and they decide to keep and raise the baby then thats a good thing, because they have to change.

Teens will ALWAYS end up getting pregnant, there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it so you might as well stop trying. Or being pissed about it.

I'm 18 and 41 weeks pregnant and I USED to be a terrible teen, running around, doing drugs, drinking....same with my now fiance. When we found out I was pregnant our lives both changed for the best! I don't hang out with those people anymore, and I know im going to be a great mommy because IM GOING TO TRY!

You need to grow up, your 14, you have no idea what it is like to be some people so stop judging!

EDIT: what the h**l can her mom ******* do? Kick her out and disown her, she her daughter, she will love her no matter what, its good that her mom is going to be there and actually help her.

Answer 6

My art teacher was proud because this girl in my class was having a baby. It's not good.  

Answer 7

Oh, God, you're one of them...

Answer 8

you are so immature!

seriously get over this obsession you have with teen pregnancy, i actually applaud all of the teen mums out there who are doing a good job with those gorgeous kids of theirs.

get a life and get over it.

TEEN MUMS - kudos to you for looking after your kids :)

EDIT: no i was not a teen mum, i was 22 when i had my baby

Answer 9

Yes i agree when my 15 year old told me she was going to have a baby i was like do what..I was not happy but i had to let her make the decision for her self..

Answer 10

competely agree...its NOT ok for teens to get pregnant

Answer 11

I would never say it's ok for a teen to have a baby, it would be best to focus on education and not on ten minutes of pleasure which will surely lead to pregnancy.  I would hope teen age boys could control their urges more then they apparently do and focus attention on the mind of a female rather then her body and what he can get from her as another notch on his bedpost.  It's sad this world has come to feel that s*x is the answer to all it's problems where it is only the beginning.

Answer 12

No one condones teen pregnancy, but what do you want society to do? You want everyone in the village to stone the girl to death? What should we make all women under then age of 20 to wear an iron chastity belt? No one condones teenage pregnancy, but whats done is done, and rather than call them b*****s and s***s, you give them advice and try to help them through it...

Answer 13

Well, teenagers make there own choices.

If you get pregnant as a teen then thats fine.

But i think when people say "I'm too young to have a baby! I want an abortion!" i think thats terrible. Too young to have a baby = too young to have s*x.

Teens can go and get pregnant all they want. The irresponsible ones are the ones that feel they are too young to have children and abort it.  

Answer 14

Who says I am encouraging it?

Another sad stereotype. Are you getting this info from Yahoo! Answers? Yahoo! Answers is a skewed source. It's full of trolls.

Answer 15

You are deffinately taking this out of context. They are trying to make the young teen parents feel better the best way they can. They aren't saying "it's deffinately ok to have kids at 13!" And if they did then they are idiots. I understand where you are coming from. I don't judge people and I don't think I'll ever be able to judge a pregnant teen, seeing I have and will not go through that kind of experience.

xoxoxo Annie May!

Answer 16

There's a difference between ENCOURAGING teen pregnancy and DEALING with teen pregnancy.  I don't think anyone in their right mind actually thinks it's a good idea for kids to get pregnant and have kids.  However, many kids who come on here have already gotten pregnant -- telling them they shouldn't is a bit like closing the proverbial barn door, no?  And, given whatever religious or moral views they may have, being pregnant may end up being a mother.

I tend to agree with you -- not all teen moms magically mature.  Let's face it -- girls get pregnant because they are acting irresponsibly in the first place.  Last I heard, pregnancy hormones don't suddenly give you a sense of responsibility.  Teen moms may have it hard in one sense, but in another sense, a lot of them have it a lot easier, because they still live at home with a mom and/or dad, they may have the birth father wandering around -- in other words, she has lots of back up, and can actually back away from being a mom when she might need to, to go be "a typical teenager" so that she doesn't "miss being a kid."  Gag.  An adult usually does NOT have that option -- which is why a mature adult waits until they are SURE they want to have a baby before accepting the responsibility.

I guarantee you -- if my daughter came to me and told me she was pregnant, I would NOT be smiling.  

Answer 17

Teens who decide to have s*x, obviously do not see consequences for their actions.

They're educated but not nearly enough. Most of them start to be educated about s*x-ed when they're 12. Mine started when I was 9- the school enforces it lol.

Most of them are  oblivious to the word, 'common sense', so they obviously have none.

Answer 18

you say your mature? you are acting like a little brat,at least teen mothers grow up and dont act like 5 yr olds yes i am 19 and have 2 kids,what does it have to do with you? im not saying all teens should get pregnant and make good parents it all depends on the person

Answer 19

no

Answer 20

One of my close friends go to a school where OVER 80 of the teen girls are pregnant.

the town i live in, isn't that big...

that is a lot of girls. most of them are lower classmen!

I think instead of "safe s*x" taught in schools, there should be a lot more "stay abstinent".

I'm not bashing on teens that get pregnant either.

I mean some kids are still going to have s*x regardless what others advise them. But more should be done to help kids keep their virginity. when you give it away at a young age, you are most likely going to regret later on in life.

And yes i know that when some teens have babies, they mature & turn out to be great mom's, i watch lifetime movies too. That's great for them, & i really aplaud them for not having an abortion & letting that baby have a life. But there are also other teens that have babies & don't know how to handle it & end up giving the baby away or just leaving. Like that other person said, people just don't mature over night. It takes time.

And the asker isn't saying "teen mom's are terrible mom's" they are saying, "teen's shouldn't be sleeping around in the first place". there is a big difference there.

Answer 21

I agree that teen pregnancies should not be encouraged, but I think the most important this is not age, but your parenting abilities. Some teens really are great moms, and yet they still finished high school, and went of to University. There are some adults who may be at an appropriate age to have a child, but do not have any parenting skills, and are worse mothers then some 14 year old.

So while teen pregnancy should not be encouraged, we need to think more about the quality of the parent, not the age

Answer 22

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
