Oookay, so I had a dream the other
night that I was pregnant. I'm 15.
It was actually more of a nightmare,
because it turns out that the father
was my venezolano. He promised to
stick by me "no matter what", but
then had to go to Venezuela for
some reason or other, and got killed
in a guerrilla or something like that.
So I was all alone. Pregnant.
It's no wonder I dream about teenage
preganancy. I'm surrounded by it.
A seventeen-year-old friend of my
sister has a kid already.
A twenty-year-old friend of my other
sister has three kids now, ages
six, five and two.
A seven-year-old student of my
mother's has a twenty-one-year-
old mother who is pregnant again.
A friend of mine has a sister who's
boyfriend didn't want to use pro-
tection {"It doesn't feel as good"}.
She got pregnant. A few years later
she called him, he went to her house,
she told him she wanted to break up,
they ended up having sex and now
she is pregnant. Again.
Mexico is known for the vast
quantity of pregnant teens. The
city where I currently live has
the highest number of teenage
pregnancy in the country.
The place where I used to live,
girls as young as sixteen were
dropping out of school to go
marry some fisher and spend
the rest of their lives barefoot
and pregnant, in a small house
with too many children where
everybody smells like fish.
Their mentality was "what else
can I do with my life?"
[/rant]
So. Basically, I want to know your
thoughts on the subject.
-What would you do if it happened
to you?
-Abortion: pro choice/life?
-Anybody you know in this kind
of situation?
-How did the people around them react?
-Anything else, heh.

Woah; I dreamed I was pregnant just a few days ago too. Weird! XD But then again, I'm 19, so it's not as freaky.
If I somehow had ended up pregnant as a (younger) teen, I probably would have kept it. I've always wanted a child, though I've been waiting until I'm sure I can give him/her a good life. But if I ended up with a kid suddenly, I'd find some way to raise him or her.
As for abortion, I think it's the woman's choice, though I also think they should get their arse in gear and do it before their second trimester. I'm not really supportive of after first trimester abortions.
My friend when I was younger had a sister who was pregnant by her boyfriend who abandoned her when he found out. As far as I know she had the kid and is raising him/her, but I dunno, she didn't seem all that responsible. Lots of girls in the town I used to live in got pregnant young with absent/useless/abusive boyfriends. But all the girls I know who did had families that supported them, whether or not THOSE people were good influences or not.

&hearts&spades&diams&clubsThat would be a terrifying dream to me. >_<
Personally, if i were pregnant right now, today, i would probably get an abortion. I am NOT ready for kids, and there are already enough orphans in the world. Think me terrible if you must, but in that situation, that's what i'd probably do.
Now, that being said, i'm not really for or against abortion. I think there are situations where it can be the best option, and situations where it can be the worst. It's the people who ABUSE IT that get to me. It's one thing to have one once because you made a mistake. It's quite another to get one every time you get pregnant just because you don't want kids and you're too dumb to use a condom. That's just insane. And sick.
I don't know anyone at the moment, but i know people who are on the fast track to getting there. It's a very sad thing. &hearts&spades&diams&clubs

Well, I'm a lesbian and on birth control so unless I immaculately conceive, I don't think pregnancy is likely. I'm pro-choice for a multitude of reasons. If I did become pregnant, I would have an abortion. I'm a full-time student. I run my own business and work. I'm in charge of running our household and keeping our family together. I'm also severely depressed. =D
Teen pregnancy is a problem due to the lack of sex education & unavailability of birth control. Research proves, again and again, that offering birth control and sex education to minors doesn't raise the rate of teen pregnancy or abortions. Rather, surprise, surprise, abstinence-only sex ed does.
I don't feel either way on teens having kids.
It's their choice and anybody other than them has no right to judge them.

I'm not ready for kids and I'd rather put myself first place, instead of having to care for a baby.

No abortion. Abortion is murder. >|
As for that matter, my friend's sister got pregnant at 15 too.

I wouldn't get pregnant in the first place because I practice abstinence from sex. I'm pro-life and actively pro-life, and don't worry, I don't bomb abortion clinics or anything. There are some instances when abortion needs to be practiced in order to save the mother or something like that, but they need to do it in their first trimester.

i know a few kids who got pregnant in high school.
kids these days should be keeping their legs close and worrying about more important things than their sex drive.
i was reading in the news the other day that this middle school wants to start offering birth control for these girls and they already give out condoms.
they're not even bothering with teaching abstinence anymore.
pathetic, really.

Abortion=Murder. (Unless proven rape or incest. But against popular belief that that's what it mostly is, that's only about 2% of all cases. Most of them just want to have more fun without protection)
I wouldn't kill someone. What's the difference if the baby is in your body or out? It's still a human.
But anyways, truthfully, I don't worry about. Mainly because, if I got pregnant, first thing I'd wonder is how the heck I got pregnant without sex. Really. Everyone seems to say, "Poor girls! Pregnant! Let's kill their babies~", while instead they should tell them to keep their legs closed, because when you have sex, it isn't just for fun. You're trying for a child, there.

I hear you calling and it's needles and pins
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
I am 100% against abortion. I don't care what your excuse is. Rape is a terrible thing. Does that mean you can suddenly abdicate responsibilty? Hell no. Give it up for adoption.
With so many parents out there trying desperately to get pregnant, abortion is just selfish. No, it's selfish, period.
Don't want to touch you but you're under my skin
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison

There's a girl at my school who's 7 months pregnant, and she's engaged to a 22 year old guy.
She's a junior.
I don't see why some people do that. Can't you just wait? Do you really want your life to fall apart?
Now personally, I would probably have an abortion, even though I'm not going to get pregnant before I'm married except for if I'm raped.
Because, let me tell you this. If you were the product of a rape, would you want to live with that for the rest of your life? I certainly wouldn't. And don't say put the baby up for adoption, because would you want to live with that for the rest of your life knowing that your mom/dad didn't want you?
And yes, I do understand that it's murder, but if you've never really lived, can you really die?

Well...I'm completely pro-choice.
I don't think it's muder.
And I think everybody should be
allowed to choose what they want
to do with their own bodies and
with anything that's growing in there.
As long as they are responsible
and careful.
Personally, I would never get an
abortion, unless I were raped.
I think abortion is terrible.
But I don't, and neither does
anybody else for that matter,
have the right to dictate what
somebody else does with their
body. It's completely their choice.

I think I replied to most of you
here, but (if you are interested
in this discussion) don't just read
your reply. Skim through all of
them, because I say a lot of things.
{if I didn't reply to you, I either
agree with you, or simply don't
have anything to say xDD}
@Neggy: I think that, if you
are a pregnant teen, just having
somebody who supports you
or is on your side, must make it
soo much better to live through.
@toxic: I agree. To get an
abortion because of a mistake
that seriously hurts you is fine.
But to just get one every time
you are stupid and don't protect
yourself is definitely sick.
@vegan: Last year, two groups
came to give us pregnancy and
STD prevention talks. The first
was all about sex education and
birth control and whatnot. They
gave us free condoms. The
other one was all "don't have
sex. don't have sex. don't have sex."
Everybody was just making
fun of the second one, but in
the first one, kids were actually
paying attention to the talkers.
People have to start really
educating kids if they want this
problem to actually stop.
@Stali: Actually, I think you will
find that, nowadays, sex is more
for fun than for actual procreation.
Very few people actually wait for
marriage to have sex.
I don't agree with you when you
say that abortion = murder. If
you get an abortion during the
first trimester, it's not even a
baby yet. It's not even a human yet.
@Sonic: If I were a victim of rape,
and I got pregnant out of it, I
would definitely get an abortion.
That's a terrible responsability
to have to put up with. For nine
months of your life you're
carrying around something that
is a product of one of the most
terrible things that a human
being can do to another.
If a couple is unable to get
pregnant, there are many
other ways for them to
adopt a child, and victims
of rape should not have
to consider infertil parents
when they decide what to
do with their own bodies.

-What would you do if it happened to you?
Um... It never will. XD I don't do pregnancy. I tend to lean more toward girls anyway.
-Abortion: pro choice/life?
Nnn, I think it really depends on the situation. If a girl is raped or if there will be severe medical problems for her, then yes, abortion is probably justified. If the girl is having sex willingly, then she knows the consequences and should be prepared for them.
-Anybody you know in this kind of situation?
Where do I start? XD
My sister JoAnna had her first kid in February, and she's twenty. So that's not so bad. She's having another in January, though.
Reva, a friend from my old school, was pregnant at 17. She dropped out of school because of it. Her babies are cute (they're twins). Buuuut right now she's fighting for custody of them. The dad has had them for a while. (They broke up.)
Crystal's only 17, and she's married. *Rolls eyes* She says she's pregnant, but she's said that about 50 times since I've known her, so she's probably lying. She's like that.
Melissa waaas... 16 when she was pregnant? Maybe 15... I dunno if she had them or not, though.
Mom had me a month before her 18th birthday.
-How did the people around them react?
JoAnna: Mainly just "Oh, cool!"because she wasn't super-young and she's in a committed relationship.
Reva: Kinda like "...WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?!" followed by "Oh wow, what are you gonna name them?" and such.
Crystal: DUMB b***h. >_<
Melissa: I think her boyfriend broke up with her over it.
-Anything else, heh.
*Hugs Shindig* Just use protection if you two are sexually active, and a morning-after pill if you want to make sure. You'll be fine as long as you're careful, hun.
