teen pregnancy

[JessicaRuiz72812]

I'm 16 and will be 37 weeks tomorrow.. I know a few girls who have LIED about being pregnant.. It's honestly NOT cute nor is it funny. I can't stand when people do that!!! It makes me so mad and I just want to slap these girls! ;| oh and don't get me started on the ones who PURPOSELY get pregnant to keep a guy or for the attention. SMH.

I agree with all of you completely.. It just makes me so angry when there are so many girls who lie about being pregnant.. It's not something to lie about. A baby is a blessing, and I love my son more than anything/anyone in this whole world. I didn't get pregnant on purpose and it wasn't a mistake, my boyfriend(of almost 3 years) and I, knew exactly what we were doing and the "pull out method" is not helpfull at all. I just wish these girls could understand that being pregnant isn't easy and neither is being a mother. Motherhood is NO joke. It's the real deal. There really isn't any need to lie about pregnancy.

I'm 15 and I'm pregnant everyone would judge and say I'm a ***** but I have been with this guys since I was 12 and had known him since we were 8. He has a job and supports me and I have a part time job we have gotten everything for the baby we need on our own. I think it's wrong for people to judge me just because I may be young. If I can handle it okay it's my decision people tellin me I ruined my life and that I have no respect for myself and that I should have got an abortion I have no respect for and wish they would just leave us alone to be happy

Honestly, I don't think age matters when it comes to being pregnant. Yes 16 is really young. but that absolutely does not mean you or anyone else that age will be a bad mom. You could be a better mother than someone in their 30s. It's just about knowing you have another life to take care of.
It's sad when girls purposely get pregnant to try and keep a guy, when most of the time that'll push them away and the girl is stuck with a baby she really didn't want.
I'm 20 years old also, I'll be 38 weeks tomorow. I still live with my patents til my boyfriend comes home, but trying to save money to move out and a baby is not easy. never mind being on my own.
It's difficult at any age, it's just being smart enough to grow up and take responsibilities.
hell I still don't think I'm ready to be a mom, but lord knows I will do WHATEVER I need to , to take care of my son and he comes first.

Getting pregnant to keep a guy doesn't work no matter what your age is. I'm 20 and 36 weeks. I agree with you. Getting pregnant on purpose before you've had a chance to live a little is dumb. Don't get me wrong..i love my baby and want nothing more than for us to be a happy little family, but this wasn't planned at all. My bf doesn't have a job right now and we are struggling as I will be out of work soon too. If we had planned a baby it would be when I was finished with schooling. Even though you're young doesn't mean you can't do it though.. Mothers will do whatever they have to for their babies.
