    I really dont think that its that bad i know couples that are 17 and hav a baby and they even look happier now,and actually it makes me proud how far they have came, so whats the thought about teens having babys, to eveyone else(what do you think about it)?

    I'm not for it, but I'm not against it. I think it depends on the couple: A good percentage of teenagers end up thinking that pregnancy is a joke and that they could bypass responsibility onto the next person, and then there are the percentage of teenagers that raise their child, or give their baby up for adoption if they can not take care of their baby, and learn to mature faster through the pregnancy and the process of finding out what it right for the infant in question and themselves.

    The people who say preggo, and preggers, to me do not really take pregnancy seriously. No offence, it's a huge pet peeve of mine.

    I wouldn't recommend it or encourage it, but if someone happens to find themselves in that situation it is possible to succeed, it all depends on maturity and whether or not you realize that becoming a parent means that your needs are not the ones that matter anymore, your job is to do your best and provide a good life for your child. You have to be selfless and sacrifice.

    I am not against it because at the end they are going to end up doing it anyways...
    sometimes they are not ready and they just have the baby because they dont believe in abortion or giving up the baby up for adoption.
    But sometimes they are not ready and are not mature enough.
    For example I have a friend who is 17 and has a baby already...she has matured somehow but recently her and the babys dad are no longer together... so it depends...
    I know that there are some people that have kids or get pregnant and say oops it was an accident...
    but see that is wrong but they arent ready to take care of a child.
