Question

What do you think about teen pregnancy? For example, Jamie Lynn got pregnant at age of 16.?

Answer 1

The only thing I can say about it is AWFUL.

Being a parent at a young age isnt worth it.

They are still kids. They dont know what they are going to be piled up with .

They need to think about it (seriously).

And what they are doing with their life. They are definitely ruining it.

The other part is that teen pregnancy is not appropriate, Really need to think this out.

Are they ready for being a parent or even deal with the opposite s*x that bring huge problems later?

Always remember Think before you leap.

Answer 2

I don't condone it at all. Actually, I don't condone pre marital s*x, but that's just me.

Answer 3

she has enough money to support that child and no one knows how emotionally prepared she is so we can't exactly judge on that.

Answer 4

UNPLANNED teen pregnancy is a horrible thing. they usually cant afford it...don't want to take care of it so the baby gets dumped off at their parents house..

but if they can support and love and care for the baby then i don't see anything wrong with it. age doesnt really mean anything. its more of the maturity level of someone that matters.

Answer 5

What is with all the teen pregnancy questions today?

I believe that PARENTS need to start acting like PARENTS and actually TEACH us about s*x and birth control, instead of assuming the school is going to!

Because, you know what parents? ABSTINANCE ONLY IS WHAT WE'RE LEARNING. We are NOT learning about safe s*x, only not to do it, which, of course, is going to make us want to do it MORE.

Answer 6

For some people it is acceptable because they are mentally mature enough to handle a child. Sometimes a girl cant help getting pregnant, it is the same way if a grown women that is married gets pregnant..sometimes you just cant control it. Like my best friend is due in December and i accept her daughter as my own niece. I am very happy for her. She also has support from all of her family, her baby's daddy, her boyfriend, me and all of my family(they feel as she is part of the family) My dad has asked about his "daughter" and his "grand-daughter" so i mean i wouldn't suggest trying to get pregnant but the rude comments about a 16/17/18 year old girl getting pregnant is unnecessary because they are not all whores, some are just GOOD girls who get in a bit of trouble and end up pregnant.  

Answer 7

Going on what ameripostal11 said, it isn't the parents fault. teenagers have a mind of their own and parents should have trust and faith that their children will make the best decision. I don't think kids should be out having s*x however look at the society we live in. i was one of 3 virgins at my high school when i graduated, then i got pregnant at 18, I'm 21 now still with my then boyfriend now husband with TWO kids. I think its their decision I'm not for it but its THEM to blame not the parents. At least Jamie Lynn was adult enough to keep her daughter, if your young and getting abortions then you should keep your legs SHUT and be more responsible. It only takes one time

Answer 8

i personally dont agree with it, i was one of them and i regret having s*x when i was younger i had a baby right after i graduated from highschool i was also lucky that i had a boyfriend who stayed and took care of his baby not like today where teens are having so much s*x they dont even know who the babys father is. you cant get a decent education you have to put everything on hold until your child is old enough so you can do something with your life. and plus these days everything is so expensive and hard to find places to live and afford food and etc.... i think teens need to wait until they are out of college and have a good man or husband before even thinking of it. and make sure you are on some sort of birth control. These days also i could blame the parents too of the teens becuase these days the parents dont really talk to thier children and that makes me sad.....

Answer 9

heyy

i'm 13 now and not planning on getting pregnate any time soon. but i do believe that u should be able to get pregnate when ever u want to its ur decision and no one should judge u for it.

Answer 10

I'm going to be honest with u, i adore Jamie for not just aborting the baby then throwing it under the rug. she toke responsibility for her actions and is taking care of it.

Answer 11

Kids are experimenting too much. First they start having s*x, then they start doing drugs. Sooner or later, they turn into every parents nightmare. At least in my point of view though.

Answer 12

I think these posts are getting ridiculous.  So many people ask every day.  Yes teen pregnancy is not good for anyone, but that doesn't give us the right to judge others.  We don't know the whole situation and we can atleast support these girls who decide to carry the baby, have the baby, keep the baby (or adoption), and care for the baby.  If these teens were to abort, everyone would condem them.  So these teens have to go through society being judged and ridiculed for choosing to love their child rather then get rid of it.  Yes they made a mistake, they know we all know.  There is no reason to ask what people think about it. Teen pregnancy is nothing new, it has been around for ages.  Now people are just more open about it rather then hiding it.  

Answer 13

Well, let me just say they have a magazine out about her for Zoey 101.

Teen pregnancies here we come..

Answer 14

Jamie Lynn is lucky she has the money and probably has tutors who come to her house so she can complete her education. As for your average teen, I think it just makes your life more difficult. Can it be done well? Of course. But it's not fair to yourself to get pregnant and have to not only raise a child when you're so young, but have to put aside things like your education. I personally waited to have s*x until I was 23 and out of college. It wasn't worth it to me to take a chance getting pregnant when I was younger.
