I dont think i ever would want to be a Preagnat teenager nor teen mom and after the show 16 And Pregnant/Teen Mom I know I dont want to be.Also I know I am not ready to be a mom with a baby in my care. I really do care about school and i know getting Pregnant would mess that up i would love to be a KG teacher one day because i love little kids and the best thing is they go home and i dont have to deal with them all the time. I do want to be a mom when im in my 20s and married to some one till then im just going to love names.


just my thoughts and opinon on me thanks xxCeciliaXX

I'm a teenage mum and found ALOT of people tried to scare me when I was pregnant.
"It's really hard, you'll never sleep again, You'll be stuck at home,.."....etc, etc...
Sure, they were partly right, it is hard and you don't sleep all that much, but they didnt need to assume I wouldn't cope as well just because I'm 18.
I have friends who have had a baby as a teenager and they did not cope at all... I think it depends on the person and how ready they are to devote their life fully to another life, their baby.

I wouldn't encourage girls to have babies as teenagers, but it's not something that is just going to stop.

You never know what it takes to be a mother until you are one, and unfortunately... some girls find out that they're not completely up for it, but it's alreay too late because they have made that decision.
Im not taking sides because either way... someone is going to get offended, but I'm just going to add in that most teenage mothers do just as good a job as any other mother, no matter what anyone says. Being 19 is considered a teenager... why is being 20 and a mother seen as 'better'?

Each to their own.

I'm 17 and I go to find out if I'm pregnant or not. I personally don't think that people should judge people who have kids young. Ya sure some of the young mom's don't plan on getting pregnant at a young age it just happens. But i know alot o people who have babies young because they want a big family and they want to make sure they get to be apart of their grandchilds life. One of my friends mom had her get pregnant so she could spend time with her grandbaby before she passed away cause she has cancer. So it really does depend on the person and the persons situation.


thats just my opinion though

Creepy. How old was the poor baby mommy? I can't imagine having my to choose between making my dying mom happy and growing up without the responsibilities of raising a child. Man, think about that. Dying mom on one hand, college, finding Mr Right, falling in love, marriage, on the other. Eeeek

My favorite are people who let their teenage son or daughter move the S.O. into their bedroom. My boyfriend's 2nd daughter got pregnant at age 18 by a boy her mother let live with her (my boyfriend was furious, but being the non-custodial parent, was powerless to stop it).

Hmmm ... what's a guy like, who is so willing to move into his girlfriend's mother's house?

He's:
* penniless and can't seem to keep a job, several jobs in a row since the child was conceived
* not wanting a place in his name, to avoid being found, oops, that didn't work
* has another illegitimate son in another state (surprise!)
* sapping off the grandfather of his 2nd child (just turned one), who just paid $300 to support his daughter and the baby daddy to go back to the guy's home state, to defend against child support and back welfare for the first child this guy sired, then ran away from (3 yrs ago)
* double-dipping off the grandmother of his 2nd child (the same idiot woman who let him stay with her daughter and sire a grandchild) ... as she gets an urgent plea to wire $700 to the other state, because the second he signed his name to a local hotel bill, he was arrested and held for old fines that weren't listed on his interstate police record
* not trustworthy to borrow his father "in-law"'s pickup truck for 2 months, wearing the 2 drive wheel tires to NO TREADS (in 2 months! can you say peeling out?), breaking the SEAT and not fixing it, returning it with a large cleaning bucket behind it to keep it upright, FILLING the pockets and interior everywhere with junk food wrappers, spilled food, and a resume, and returning it a 7 minutes drive away (too ashamed to return it in person), COVERED IN MUD!

Just in case you are wondering if live-in boyfriends aren't all bad, my boyfriend's first daughter, originally excellent in math before the divorce, was able to party through the rest of high school instead, then convince her father to give her and her live-in boyfriend a complete landscaping business. Her boyfriend sold all of the equipment, pocketed the money, and dumped her.

The third daughter is only 13. I'm hoping she's watching the drama involving her two older sisters and learns from it. I'm paying to send her to a couple of workshops where I hope successful women can inspire her, before it's too late.

I had three best friends (two boys and a girl), whose dad died (while they were in high school) just a few years before my dad died (while I was in college, same company). Their mom let them move in the girlfriends and boyfriend. Amazingly, ALL THREE GIRLS INVOLED GOT PREGNANT. Who'd have guessed? All three got married, but only one is still married. One of them got divorced after 4 kids in quick succession.

I too could have gotten knocked up in high school, but instead I missed the Lover Boy concert the night before one of our final exams in high school, missed the bonfire party that got my best friend pregnant, and missed the booze parties at the Baker's house that got some of my friends thrown in jail, but I studied hard for my SATs, struggled to get an engineering degree, and while supporting my widowed mother, worked my way to a PhD, so I can pay taxes to SUPPORT EVERYONE'S KIDS!

Stupid people. What were they thinking?
