Why do children have children at a young age?

Question

Wait. I'm to young to be a mommy! Why do those who are young and so immature decide to have children at such a young age. I just don't get it can you just tell me y they would make so many messed up choices to ruin what they already have and tell me what you think about abortions are u for or against and explain y u r.

Answer 1

They don't realize what they are getting into.

I'm not for abortions, because I am pregnant and could never imagine having my legs up in the air knowing that I am about to kill a human being. I think it would be different for rape victims though. But still, I would suggest they do it as early as possible, and I know that it is sometimes hard to get in appts at an abortion clinic, as I did have doubts, and couldn't get an abortion until two weeks out.

Answer 2

Teens have children at a young age because they messed up and had unprotected s*x. It is mature and responsible to have the baby, even if you give it up for adoption. That is taking responsibility for your actions. Very few teen pregnancies are planned, and the ones that are... are just sad.

Abortion is the "easy" way out. Getting an abortion for no reason other than "being young" is selfish. The baby didn't choose to be in your stomach, it isn't their fault. Why should they have to die? I have no problem with abortions when the mother's life is at stake. I just don't think it should be a form of birth control.  

Answer 3

Well, there are a lot of reasons really. Some are just immature, not thinking about what unprotected s*x can do, some want the responsibility, their friends are pregnant so they feel like they should so they're not left out, some think they're in love, some are in love and dont want to wait, some get pregnant so the guy is always apart of their life, some get drunk at a party and make a mistake..... i'm sure there's a lot more reasons that i cant think of right now...

and abortions shouldn't be legal only to rape victims and if it's causing danger to the mom and/or the baby. like, the baby didnt ask to be made so why should it have to be the one that has to suffer and die? watch on youtube "Silent Scream" it's an ultrasound of an abortion taking place, and there's a guy explaining everything. VERY VERY sad thing to watch - trust me!!

Answer 4

I actually can solve this with one word...

Stupidity.

As for abortions..

I feel I cannot take a side, becuase being a man, I can't and never will, have to bear a child, and have the baby inside of me. I believe this is something that women must work out amongst themselves.

Answer 5

girls get pregnant for a variety of reasons, none of them good.

i'm for abortion, but not for the purposes of birth control.

Answer 6

This is a very complicated question without a short answer but I"ll try.  Sometimes young girls don't make the decision to have a baby but they make the decision to have s*x.  They have s*x because they are seeking acceptance or attention that they are not getting from more appropriate people (parents, church, etc).  Often these girls do not know enough about their own bodies to protect themselves and are very ignorant of the long term commitment and struggles once they do find themselves pg.

For me, I don't think abortion should be used as a form of birth control.  But I also don' t think it should be illegal.  People *will* have abortions whether in a clean place w/ a doctor... or not.  I'd rather the former for the safety of those involved.  In some twisted way I think if a woman does not want her baby this is better than her having the baby and neglecting or abusing him.  Sorry that this is the state of our morals in this country these days.
