Pregnancy Info HOME

It isn't about whether or not they will love their child... Teens who get pregnant on purpose simply do not know what they are doing. They should continue with school, get a stable job, buy a home, be able to give their baby everything he or she wants or needs. Babies won't survive on love alone. It is simply unfair to put a child in a position where they can't have the things they need. Babies are expensive! I had my daughter when I was 17 and every toy or whatever that I can't afford to buy for her I get really sad!! I want to be able to give her what she wants because I really don't think it's too much to ask for. I'm working my a__s off to stay in school so when she's older I can have a good job and be able to send her to whatever college she wants, reward her with that bracelet or whatever she's had her eye on. I have to work at least twice as hard as those who don't have kids just to do the same amount of work. That also takes time away from my daughter. I am happy to support those who made a mistake, ended up pregnant, and are trying to step up and make the best of it. However, I'm not going to smile and say how wonderful it is to someone who is purposely getting pregnant. If they really love their child, or the child that will be, they would wait so they can give him or her the best life they can possibly have. It is best for them AND their child. To get pregnant as a teenager is SELFISH and DUMB!

Read AMANDA17 She understands. Everything that i was about to say is there.

i think that you should ask V9653, she is an awsome advice giver.

i think JASSY is rite. alot of teens get put down ffor things like this. its just plan old stupid.just bc your kid wont get whatever they want as long as they get a house food n some toys and someone to show them love im sure they will turn out just find. if you give a kid whateva they want 99% of the time your kid will turn into a lil brat. Now i also agree with amanda17 its stupid to get prego on purpose but if its an accident you shouldnt get called a hoe n c___p. but these days you can be a girl who didnt even hold hands r nothing n ge called mean names like that its high school.but for all the girl with a great head on there shoulders and everything shoudlnt get put down for one mistake.

I'm not saying you should buy your kid everything they want and spoil them to death. It should be up to the parent what is enough. I'm saying the parent should be able to afford to decide what's best for their kid... Make their own limits instead of being forced to have their budget make it for them. Like I said, I'm a teen parent myself and I am only able to continue school and pursue my career goals because of the generosity of my parent's help. I believe I'm a good mother and I would be nothing but arrogant and hypocritical to say that anyone else in my position couldn't do well. I'm only saying that someone who willingly and knowingly puts themselves in my position is an idiot.

I agree with you amanda17..... Teenagers should not be put down because they are pregnant "its there life their body" How would you older ones like being told that you are lil SLUTs..... i have alota friends that have just had a BABY and the babies are going really great healthy, happy... Shouldnt that only really matter..... I'm 18 and i might be pregnant to my boyfriend of 2 n half years..... YOU'S NEED TO LAY OFF THE YOUNGER GIRLS YOU'S ARE THE REASON THEY GET ALL DEPRESSED AND WANT TO GET RID OF THE BABY

I get all sides of the argument. I don't think that a girl should be stared at like a freak because she's young and walking around with a kid. When I was pregnant everyone always said I looked 14 and looked at me like I was a sideshow attraction-I was 20! People shouldn't automatically judge. But unsure, I understand your feelings and concerns but a lot of times the girls on here get harsh with some girls not just because they are pregnant but because of the context of their posts. A lot of times they show themselves as ignorant, immature, or flash red flags that scare some of us. As mothers we have the children in mind before the girl-sorry. I'm not talking about you or anyone in particular, I'm just thinking about some of the posts I've read. They are scary. Some girls need to be shocked awake, especially when they are having s_x and don't understand the basics of their own bodies. That is a person who, at that point, is not equipped to handle a child. I'm not saying the pregnancy and experience won't change that, I'm just explaining why some advice may seem harsh. Oh and thanks JT for the shoutout-you are such a sweetheart!

There are a lot of things wrong with it in a lot of cases but that is all I will say.
