well I know you are in love because I was in love at that age too, but listen dont be in such a hurry to grow up I know people tell you that and you think whatever but listen I got married at 18 and am still married but anyways, I love my husband very much but I wish I got to spend more time with my friends, you might not believe me now but one day you'll know exactly what I'l talking about... I wish you all the best of luck to you and your boyfriend.

MOMMY: Alone and SAD at 20? You have some backwards ideas, I have to say. At 20, she should be standing up alone OR partnered and happy. So being "alone" at 20 dooms her to a life of lonliness and despair? i feel bad for women like you, you set the women's movement back centuries! Personally, I could really care less if she got married at 15! Chances are she will come to regret it. that isn't what I am hoping for, like I said I could care less. But the t_tle of her posting is "what do you think" so obviously she does care what other people think duh!

she meant if Amy got married and ended up getting divorced she would be sad and lonely. I also think this is a fake post that someone made because people finally let the other one go.

Actually, the "duh" thing you said makes you sound immature. My 11 year old sister says duh all the time but anyway...What I meant was that she would undoubtably be sad and lonely if she is divorced by the age of 20, but whether or not she ends up happy or depressed it's her life and her choices, no one elses. Would you not be sad if you got divorced at any age? Let me say it so you may understand: Whether she ends up happy or sad, it should not concern you, as it has nothing to do with you other than your opinion on a public forum. Okay? The setting womens movement back that you mentioned can go both ways. Now you get b___hed at for just wanting family, how dare a woman decide not be a high rolling career chick now. But hey, I guess so long as we are moving forward, who cares about the ones who want families over jobs. I am done posting on this thread, seeing how it's turning into a huge arguement over this girls life. Amy, if this post is real goodluck to you in whatever you decide.

To whomever erased my first post: I have a right to express my opinions on this forum. My post was not "vulgar, hateful or threatening" in anyway. It was sarcastic according to a few, but not any of the things noted in the "poor taste" clause. Just because you do not agree with what I have written, does not mean that you have the right to get rid of what you do not want to hear. Someone asked a question, I answered. You don't like what I have to say, then don't read it, or post an answer to express YOUR opinion. This is a public forum, and unless I was writting something that was completely inappropriate, you had no right to erase it. Furthermore, this is the "best age to get pregnant" forum.....not teens wanting to be moms. There is a teen forum where you can post questions. I do not agree that 15 is the best age to get pregnant. That is MY OPINION!!!!!! It is my right to have an opinion and express it. If you don't like it, then don't read it!

Mommy: To your response on being 15 and monogamy: You can have a monogamous relationship at 15 W/O GETTING MARRIED!! I don't know if you girls realize this or not, but we are in the 21st century, not the 19th. It is not the "norm" for girls to get married at 15 now days, so quit being so offended when people have strong opinions regarding this. At 15, I was having sleepovers and thinking about boys, but surely not about marrying them. I understand people getting married young if a girl gets pregnant. Some people feel that is the right thing to do, although I believe 2 wrongs, don't make a right (and I'm speaking from experience on this one). But, just to get married at 15 b/c "YOU'RE IN LOVE". Yeah, I'd like to see how many times she's "in love" by the time she is 25 yrs. old. I think I've been in love 5 times since I was 15 and guess what? I've been with the same man now for 4 yrs. So in a matter of 7 yrs., I fell in love with 5 different guys (or so I thought it was love at the time). And at 15, I was not in love, I just thought I was. My first "true love" experience was when I was 18 during college. Now, I'm not saying that nobody can truly fall in love at a young age, but why rush the issue of marriage? If you truly love each other, then you will still be together in 5 yrs. after you've graduated from H.S. and possibly gone off to college. My brother is turning 16 next week and he and his girlfriend have been together for 1.5 yrs (since they were 14). Yes, they love each other and as crazy as it sounds I could see them being together forever. HOWEVER, my parents, and not to mention hers, would NEVER let them get married at the age they are now. It's absurd and ridiculous. We have so many opporunities these days to do great things with our lives. Why not do them first and then concentrate on marriage and family? I just don't understand how girls in this day and time could possibly be entertaining the though of marriage. And as far as I'm concerned, their parents should be reported to CPS and the kids taken away from them, if they are consenting to this absurd idea of marriage at 15.

Allison, the moderators and people who run this site decide which posts are poor taste and should be removed, not the other posters. The only thing that people can do is hit the poor taste b___ton. this alerts that there may be a bad post on here. The moderator reads it and decides wether or not to remove it. And The moderators DO have the right to remove anything that they do not want on the forum. And to you saying that if they don't like it, to not read it, it is their job to read the posts and decide which ones are distasteful. This is called "regulated free speech" The forum owners and moderators reserve the right to protect themselves and the other members from posts that are distasteful, wether the statement is described in the "poor taste clause" or not.

AMBER # 2: Right on!

To FYI: Since you cannot see my post because it's been taken away, I guess you wouldn't know if it was in poor taste or not. I was directing that comment at "whoever erased my post". Did I say another poster did it? No, but thanks for your info. So helpful. To Amber #2: Thank goodness there are others who understand what some of us were trying to say to the 15 year olds who think they are ready for marriage, let alone children. It's so nice to see that some women have a good head on their shoulders. Well said girl!

um, Allison, I DID see your post before they took it away. "you're 15, you know everything, right?" I believe that was the jist of it. And I was just letting you know that your statement was wrong. "does not mean that you have the right to get rid of what you do not want to hear. " they do have the right. :o)

FYI: again, thanks for you input....so helpful. You think what I said was wrong, well I don't agree. The point I was making is that in POOR TASTE means that the comments that are removed from this forum are VULGAR, HATEFUL or THREATENING....none of which applied to my post. THAT is the point I am making, and THAT is how they "regulate free speech". There have to be guidelines, they can't just get rid of a post just because. There are much more inappropriate posts on this forum to be looking at before some sarcastic line I wrote. And um, FYI, if sarcasam is a reason to get rid of a post, then both of these posts should not be here.

those aren't the only categories it has to fall under: read this: In the interest of fostering a mutually respectful online community, your use of the forums at Pregnancy-Info.net const_tutes your acceptance to not: Post any statements that hara__s, threaten, embarra__s or cause distress or anxiety to any other user of the forum Post any content on the forum that is deemed to be unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, hara__sing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise offensive Interrupt the usual posting of comments in a thread or otherwise behave in a fashion that negatively impacts other users Post any unsolicited advertising, promotional materials or any other form of solicitation without the express permission of Pregnancy-Info.net Purposely or inadvertently violate any applicable local, state, national or international law including but not limited to any regulations having the force of law while using or accessing Pregnancy-Info.net Violation of any of the above rules may result in the permanent termination of your account on Pregnancy-Info.net. You are entirely liable for any and all activities conducted through your account at Pregnancy-Info.net.

So FYI, which did my post all under? Since you are so full of info, please, enlighten me.

That should read "fall under"

obviously since I am only one person, I don't know how your post made other people feel. But it's sarcastic nature obviously offended someone because they hit the poor taste b___ton and others have spoken out against your sarcasm. So I can say it at least offended somebody and that would fall under "otherwise offensive ".

Well thanks for your honesty. I guess what is offensive to some, is not to me.
