Teen Pregnancy

[tomrules74185296]

It's sad. At least wait until marriage. Imagine a baby growing up with a 15-18 year old mother? How would that feel?

Wait. It's the best thing to do.

Well, not all protection works.

But still you should still use protection.

I have to agree w/ Tomrules, It would be weird for your child to be 15 and you 25, you'd be a young grandparent...

And some women are raped, when no protection is used, keep that in mid too, so the teen could be at fault or not. It depends on the problem.

But I would have sex, when I am married. Not at 15 X_x;

And as Sweet Kandi said, Unproteced Sex doesn't mean you'll get a baby right away. In some cases, it takes a few tries.

Ï'm 13 years old and I'm becoming 14 this year, but I'm not even going through puberty yet. Sex is still quite a gross thing to me. But when I start going through puberty and become urged to a have sex, I'm going to wear a condom. The only girl I'm going to make pregnant is my wife... and that's once we are married!

Well sex isn't gross. It's natrual, it's human... However, some people take it another way and abusing it.

 

[tomrules74185296]

If people cared, they would use a condom. If you really can't help yourself at least use one.

Its okay to want *it*, because its human and pretty much everybody has at least one time where that want to have *it*.

I agree w/ you. :3

I won't. I'm actually planning not to be careful at all. =\

I think you ruin your teenhood if you give birth then. It ruins your life: you are dragged down to complete responsibility and maturity. When you're a teen, you should have fun. If you had a baby, and you were invited to a party you really wanted to go to, you couldn't exactly bring the baby with, could you? You would have to say no and endure a boring night in with a baby - not what you really would have wanted.

Also, I know some mothers will think of it as a disgrace. I'm sure my mom would help me, but other parents could be thouroughly disgusted and uninterested. I would not want to lose a relationship with my mom because I gave birth while being a teen.

I hope I won't give in before I am married, however. If you had sex with someone you thought you would marry, and then you broke up with them, you could have screwed your life. Males, I'm told, like to have girlfriends that are still virgins/have only had sex with himself.

I feel that this is just stupid. You should wait, people know what will happen and yet they still do it. What provokes them? Peer pressure, threats, ect., Fellow ladies, be strong, and if he tries any of this bla bla bla stuff, he doesn't respect you. Don't sink down to his level, and "go with the flow" because now, the "flow" is usually wrong. Never do ANYTHING that you don't want to do with your partner, even if it was something like getting your belly button pierced. (Stupid example, yes, but it happens) BE STRONG FELLOW WOMEN! WE ARE STRONG! WE ARE ABOVE THE FRICKIN INFLUENCE! I'm only 12 so don't judge my opinion like I'm 35. Thank you. ;D

This is a very interesting topic. Both boys and girls are discussing it, and that's what makes it interesting. Heh.

Anyway, I'm with the ones who aren't sympathetic. As long as the baby isn't from rape, it was all up to the mother. You can control yourself and control how you act, so people shouldn't feel sorry for teenagers with babies. They made their lives that way.

And, I don't believe in anything and I am not religious, but I really don't think you should be having sex when your 14 or 15. Think about it. Even though you mature a lot, you are just half a decade from being 9 or 10, when you were merely a child. Also, your body may have the possibility to do things like that, but it doesn't mean you should. The question is...sure you are mature, but are you emotionally ready? Probably not.

When you are pregnant at 14, you still growing. Sure the kid might turn out ok, but between the mother and the growing child, it's a fight for nutrients they both need for growing. So it can't be healthy for the mother...wait...IT'S NOT HEALTHY for the mother, and it is certainly not good for the baby if he or she is just put up for adoption or killed by abortion. A baby is still life, whether it is at fetus stage or not, in my opinion.

And last but not least, if your guy says thinks like: "If you love me you won't make me but a condom on."

If that's the case, it's not love, it's lust. So that's another reason to have sex AFTER marriage. Besides religion, you know your man won't leave you...if your a girl.

Mmkay, let me get this straight quick, please.You are calling all teenaged girls who get pregnant, morons. Correct?

And I hardly doubt having a child is a 'consequence'.

Mrrphhff.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Many people in my family had children under the age of eighteen, and before they were married. Most of the children resulting from this are great. My cousin Adam had Lexi, and Bryce, before he turned twenty. He is twenty four now, and Lexi is what, ten? Eh. Whatever. She was brought up fine, is my point.

I am not saying in the least that teen pregnancy is a good thing. That is certainly NOT the truth. It is sad how many children are neglected. But I think that if the person knows they are ready for motherhood, and want to take on the task of raising a child, that is their choice.

I am not one to say it is a good thing, but I am not one to say that it is exactly a "Sin" or bad thing, either, though I get where those on the contrary are coming from, that is my opinion.

Anyway, I selected 'I don't know' because I really don't.

Yes, I am. They have no business having babies at that young age. A teen's only job is to finish school and go to college and/or get a job and stablize themselves. They don't need to be sleeping around with guys and stuff.

Yeah. Leave it to the floosies.

 

[phobo]

I will probably end up doing it at some point. It will be with someone who i really love though, and there will be condoms and birth control pills.

 

[Mamitchi465]

Well in my opinon mmm......I dont really feel symothy for teenagers who are pregnant. I feel bad they have to go through it so young but I agree to the statement: There are more ways to have "fun" They are to young and they know theres always a possibility...ya know? I also feel bad for this baby that was created...most teens get abortions :l and i think Yes, those teens are...*cough* Idiots *Cough*

This is why we wait after marriage LOL

[VioletetchiGirl101]

you're risking your life if your too young. plus you can't get a job cause you'll have no degree so you probley end up living on the streets or in a small condo or apartment. so use a condom and if you don't wait till your married and want to have children.

I don't think unprotected sex is neccessary to young peope of 13-19 because, if you're going to collage, it's not like you'll expect them to let you carry around a baby in school, just so you have to take care of it. Also, many people under parenting age probably don't really have that much skills to be a parent. Such as, that females don't know what to expest when they are when they are pregnant.

I chose that you should have unprotected sex after you're married. But don't do it right after you get married. I didn't say have a child right after the wedding ceremonies and party!!!! But, whatever....do anything you want with you life. Just don't make a break in your life by skipping collage/high school/middle school/etc, because you have a kid to look after.

Well, why don't you ask the kids who are the offspring of those teens? I think they have good answers. I totally agree that seventeen year old parents are not experienced enough to have a baby. Maybe a few.

It has always been this way. Maybe not in all states but for just twenty years ago if someone had a baby at 17-19 that wasn't a big deal because one was an adult by then at these times. My parents were barely eighteen and nineteen when they had me, and it was not a scandal.

for sixty years ago dying at forty wasn't a big deal either, but I disagree that it's right to think that way, as with teenage pregnancies. It's not a human right to have a kid the same way as dental care and fresh water.

Teenagers who are 15, 16 and 17, as well as 18-25 doesn't think about consequences. To have a baby that young is to take a short cut thrugh life - a baby is a two-decade long project! and it can't be paused like a tamagotchi. the teen years should only be about the teenager and not a baby.

teenagers doesn't understand the burden, because having babies isn't supposd to be work or a burden. But it is like that for people who still have fights with their younger sisters about "where the heck my new shirt is". It's unnatural in our modern world.

Teens who wants a baby, think about: Risks. Having a baby in young age is a health endangering risk. Think about all the things you miss. Think about school. With a kid on your arm, will you finish school, get a graduate and a job to secure enough money to ensure a good life? What if not. You'll be alone, the kid will be alone, or sent to a foster home. imagine what that must be like for both of you. Not all foster homes are good.

Think about tomorrow. Tomorrow is a day where thoughts and POV's are reborn, somehow. Is it right tomorrow? I don't think so. A baby is not a pet, you can't give it back to the AS if you can't handle it. A baby is not a junior you, or your property, it's a person. An entire person. My parents didn't understand that and by god, i'll never do that mistake myself.

Eww people are doing it at 13? lol thats gross.

Teens need to be smart and actually learn "Go ahead and do it but chances are you might have a kid"

[Shadowfire~SF]

This IS a really big problem in the US. Even kids MY age are obsessed with having babies and talking about sex. People have no clue what happens when they have sex, and they need to know the facts before they go ahead and do it.

I certainly don't want to, and certainly don't plan to, and I don't even want to get a boyfriend, but I voted maybe. You never know what the future will bring you, even when you don't want it, and you don't expect it. So I voted maybe. Not that I want to. Just I don't know what lies ahead of me in the future.

Teen pregnancy is not right. Why cant they just wait? I have a cousin who was pregnant at 14 she had the baby when she was 15 and now she is 16. She doesn't really take care of it that much. Her mom does. And now I have like a step cousin I guess that is pregnant and she is 15 and she is telling everybody! Shes all proud of it!

My 12-year-old friend is pregnant.

I feel so bad for her.

 

[TamaGirliey]

I wouldn't have unprotected sex before marriage. I understand that pregnancy isn't 100% guaranteed, but I wouldn't want to risk it. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I had unprotected sex without my parent's knowledge and/or got pregnant.

But I do feel really bad for two of my friends. One just found out she's pregnant and the other is supposed to give birth to her baby sometime this month. They're both still only in 7th grade. And then you've got all of these girls who talk about how they finally lost their virginity and the majority of them didn't have condoms.
