What do you think of teenagers having babies?

It depeneds on the type of person really. If you get yourself pregnant and your going to neglect the baby then i would think that person to be quite self-centered. I personally have nothing against teenage pregnancies because in many countries people are married as teenagers but i do think a person should be ready before having a baby.

I am against teen pregnancy when it is done perposly and freewillingly. No body should have children trully at such a young age as a teen and atleast until they are out of college and would be able to take care of the child like real adults.

Yte, it some cases teen pregnancy can't be controlled trully. (the fallowing mainly refers to girls.) There are cases when young teenage girl's are left pregnant from rape or sexual assult. They can't really control whether they have a baby or not... what happens happens. In this case i am in the middle for teenage pregenancy.

In my opinion a teenager should be thinking about school and what they're going to be doing for the rest of their lives. How they can change things and make their lives better?!

To me a young lady shouldn't have to worry about being a parent. They are children themselves and should have time to act like a child. I have known too many people who had babies as teenagers and are now struggling to take care of that child. They could have waited, but they did not want to listen to anyone.

A girl I went to high school with had a baby with her boyfriend. He was the man of her dreams and she said they would be together forever. That did not last long because now she's raising that baby on her own and he barely comes around.

Don't get me wrong. Some teenagers are just as qualified as some adults out there. I just think that a person should really know what they're getting into before they rush out and have a child. They should be able to take care of the child and themselves without government assistance.

As far as a child from rape. I'm not quite certain what to say about that. It is up to the mother of the child to make the best decision that she can.

I think teen pregnancy is very horrible. Teenagers think they can grow up fast and take care of their own child. Well, I think they should think of other teenagers how they messed up their own lives by making their own bad choices which they can easily get out off. I say most teenagers do have a child under pair pressure. Their boyfriends are forcing them to do this and thats when they can say "No" or siimply leave the boyfriend. But some teenagers just don't know how to get out of this.


I, on the other hand, Must simply say i passed my teenager life and i'm really dissapointed on what teenagers do these days. Thank you and I'll be waiting for replies ^.^

I have decided to bring this thread back up to date in light of reccent events. I am sure that all of you have heard about Britney Spears Sister, Jamie-Lynne. She is the star of the show Zoey 101.

Quote:
The interview. More details from Spears' interview in OK! surfaced, and the magazine's website crashed. Spears, who stars in Nickelodeon's Zoey 101, tells OK! that she and boyfriend Casey Aldridge, 18, were in shock when they learned of the pregnancy. "I definitely don't think it's something you should do; it's better to wait," she says. "But I can't be judgmental because it's a position I put myself in." TMZ.com reports OK! did not pay for the interview, but the magazine agreed to pay $1 million to publish pictures of the newborn.


Okay, I do think it's crazy that they are willing to pay for pictures of her baby.

I am not going to be down on Jamie-Lynne or anything, but I wonder where her mother was at this time. I read online that Jamie-Lynne and her boyfriend, Casey have been dating since he was 16 and she was 13. My mom would have stopped that in an instant. There is no way that she would have been fine with it.

In a way I feel sorry for Lynne Spears. First Britney is losing her mind and then her youngest child is pregnant at 16. I am sure that they can get through this as a family.

I hope that Jamie Lynne will step up to the plate and be a good mother. That she will take care of her child to the best of her ability and that she'll take good care of herself, too. I really hope she doesn't have a break down like her sister.

Nickeloden is talking about doing a special on the event. I think that would be good for young girls out there. Sex is a big step in life and you have to be prepared for the down side of it, too. I am not saying that a baby is a down side, but it's not a good thing at 14 or 15 years old. The best thing to do is to wait. Wait until you are older. Birth control and condoms are not a 100% thing and an STD is a horrible thing.
