Are my view something like teen pregnancy outdated?
i do still grasp disgusted, angry, and disappointed when i hear about a girl who's 14 or 15 getting pregnant. now that i enjoy a child i understand fully what a responsiblity it is and all i can suggest is "oh great, another girl that could have grown up to be a lawyer is immediately another statistic." however on here i read so many stories of girls that go on to finish large school or get their ged's and run to college, sometimes late, but better late than never. some even marry the father. should i ease up on my idea of what a travesty teen pregnancy is? to some amount i feel that if everyone lets up on this taboo, we are supporting a younger contemporaries that will have children that they will not be able to support. the children of teen parents are also more apt to be victims of child maltreat by parents, boyfriends, etc. for the older members, hold you changed how you view teen pregnancy? should i?
Answers: No, do NOT change your expectations or standards, especially for your child.
Parents and society entail to hold girls to a higher standard and they should accept the urge and rise to the expectation. I feel that your anger is justified because the girls do not have an idea that about the children that they leave potentially fatherless and hold to work hard to support, detracting time they could use to bond with the child. The parents should hold instilled the self esteem and foresight not to have sex until they were in position to bring children into this world in a stable environment with someone they're married to.
Do not evolution your views, because it is a travesty, there are too copious children of single moms in this world, too many dreams deferred. Just know that nation do make mistakes, but it doesn't mean that they shouldn't revise from it and go on to have more children and construct the same stupid mistake all over again..
no. not at adjectives! i feel the same entity. and its a problem that i wud like to personally bring out and build more public. there are lots like you. you nouns passionate bout it. ever think of doin something going on for it like start a new group to support, and put on a pedestal awareness? I agree with you completely
What every happened to the permanent status "Knocked UP".
i agree with your view. most of the time its girls self immature and thinking they can handle a little one but once they have it they say how much they repugnance being a parent. and in other cases it be an accident but still. at my high academy. almost 30 girls are pregnant. most of them are freshman. at the middle school there are 10 girls pregnant. and i even hear of a 6th grader being pregnant. its terriable. i believe that i'm safe in the region of sex and responsible because i've had sexual education my intact life pretty much. my school started sex ed. within 4th grade. with only the basics like the birds and the bee's. afterwards 5th grade we learned nearly protection and stuff. and of course in middle university and 9th grade i had condition class. but now schools are slowing taking form class out of their requirments which i think is very stupid. No agency. I honestly think your views are correct. I feel it is wrong for teens to have sex. I feel it is wrong sex outside marriage ceremony. But, let's not get into that issue this one is big enough. lol
Back when I be in jr high contained by 1989 it was COOL! I was SHOCKED at adjectives the teen pregnancy. This was in Valdosta, GA. The boys would wear HUGE photo pins of their "babies". You'd hear girls surrounded by the locker rooms talking about pregnancy and once I hear a girl say "Yeah, my mom is wanting me to have my third". THESE GIRLS WERE JUST 12 & 13. How sick and wrong is that?
I get married at 18 to a wonderful man who was 26. I had my first child at 20. We are still blissfully married going on 14yrs. So it is possible to be in love as a teen, get married and yes own babies. No, I wasn't a teen when I had my first, I was 20 however believe me I WAS NOT READY. lol I was still a child myself at 20 even though I was married.
I find sick and tired of reading here on WomenAnswers.org in the teen section "Am I pregnant?"
Teens don't want to have sex. They are to young.
I saw a wonderful Christian movie that talk about waiting to be kissed on your wedding. Now I don't know if I agree next to that but it made a HUGE point that I have never forgotten.
When you get married you hear the priest at the END of purely about EVERY SINGLE wedding articulate clearly:
YOU MAY NOW KISS THE BRIDE
He says this AFTER you are married.
I've never thought about that & no I didn't dawdle till after marriage to kiss my husband but yes we wait till our celebratory night.
Was I a virgin? I think so. I be sexually abused as a child for 2yrs and then date raped for months as a teen by a guy I met online. So in my mind I be still a virgin.
Was he? He was married before me so no. He get married at 18 out of highschool and it didn't work out.
Kids are kids. Teens are kids. Your heart is way to young for love.
I bring up to date people to saw your heart for your husband/wife.
Teens reading this you may want to give me a thumbs down but please first read this & it is contained by caps so you will not miss:
WALK DOWN THE AISLE WITH YOUR HEART WHOLE. YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO YOUR SPOUSE ON YOUR WEDDING DAY A HEART THAT HAS BEEN BROKEN. SO SAVE YOUR HEART FOR YOUR HUSBAND/WIFE TO BE..
My mom told me that teen pregnancy isn't any higher than it be when she was a kid (She is 54). It's just more interested in society. She said in her afternoon a lot of the girls were sent away and not a soul ever knew.
I have a friend who get pregnant the end of her junior year and she still managed to graduate prompt. She is now in college studying to become a nurse. She married her boyfriend and he is within the Army now. I'm just putting it out within that there are some good men out at hand and thank goodness my friend's man was one of them.
I am disappointed too by teen pregnancy. I can't express how disappointed I be with my friend when she told me. But she took so much responsibility for her actions. She researched and found the backing she could get for her and her baby. I acclaim her for her maturity in the situation. She is a great momma and wife in a minute.
But the thing is a lot of this wouldn't develop if everyone got the education something like safer sex. The statistics show that abstinence only tuition only results in more teen pregnancy. Teens are going to do it whether or not they are told not to. They call for the proper education on contraceptives. -sigh- But alas that isn't getting fixed anytime soon. I haven't changed my view, it's still disappointing and sorrowing to see a teenager pregnant instead of out with her friends buying a prom dress.

i cannot agree more. its one of those situations where on earth you have so much to say nearly it but dont know where to start. so ill in recent times leave it at that. i would also like to influence that i hope im not considered a hypocrit since i am 16 and am sexually active. i am NOT pregnant and my boyfriend and i do all that we can to save it that way. i think that girls pass it up too often and for the wrong reasons, beside out being educated give or take a few sex beforehand, which is why they end up pregnant. I totally agree with you. You are not wrong for your inference. I mean, you are completely entitled to how you feel. I other figure opinions are fine as long as someone doesn't try to force their opinion or beliefs on a person.
It bothers me too when I read about this stuff too. I expect, I do get angry. I don't think that these girls are desperate people. I just draw from mad because instead of focusing on their studies to prepare for life ahead here these kids are have kids. Instead of focusing on school they have to administer a lot of that up to take nurture of the baby.
I get silly too because all around you is "practice safe sex" and "be smart and use protection" because of adjectives the STDs out there and the risk of pregnancy. I mean, it's the girls choice to hold sex when she wants but just be smart in the order of it! I mean, it's always "Well, this one time we won't use a condom. I can't can't pregnant from only one time" and these girls do get pregnant.
So yea, I understand how you perceive and you are not wrong for feeling that way. Still, can't other judge when you haven't been nearby I guess.
