Question

Who would you say is at fault ?...when an uderaged(13-17) member of your family, ends up getting pregnant ....?

Answer 1

I feel that the underage family member is at fault. They are 13-17 therefore they more than likely have a very good understanding of how and where, babies come from and hopefully the risks to having s*x in the first place, other than pregnancy. However I will say being that I do not know exactly what kind of parents this underage person has, if the parents have been neglectful in teaching their child(ren) about things such as this, than though its not really fare to say its their fault, but its definitely an issue that should of addressed.

The underage person is pregnant, its over and done with....so really the focus right now shouldn't be at pointing fingers at the guilty party, rather it should be on both children, the mother and her baby. There will be some tough decisions ahead and I wish them the best of luck!

Answer 2

The list for assigning blame is endless and largely pointless. (School, peer pressure, poor education, poor moral fiber, ineffective parenting, hardheadedness....everyone can get a piece of the blame pie. ) BUT, what is most important after the fact, in view of the reality of an actual pregnancy, what is important and productive now is how best to handle this development. That's when families pull together and BE families. Otherwise, it may not be this issue, but rest assured there is an issue ahead of you that will likewise trip you up. The blame game may be the favored pass-time of the self-righteous, but it rarely makes life better for anyone concerned.

Answer 3

It the girls fault and her boyfriends. They were careless about having s*x. It's not the parents fault and it's not just the girls fault or just the guys fault. it takes 2 people to have a child.

Answer 4

BOTH OF THE KIDS WHO HAD s*x WITHOUT PROTECTION. There is NO excuse for that anymore.  

Answer 5

The underage member of the family. If the parents are Extremely neglectful, then they are to blame to. However, if they are normal parents who make mistakes, then the underage person who got pregnant. They still know better and its not like the way to get pregnant is a mysterday now a days. Plus, why does fault matter anyway? I think in alot of situations who to blame doesnt matter and it is just a scape goat to make ourselves feel better about what happened. Now there are some consequences that have to be dealt with, so fault is not an issue anymore. There are bigger things at large.
