One of the best mothers I know was a teen mom. She is now expecting her second, and I am comforted knowing there will be at least 2 well behaved kids when my child goes to school lol. Can't say the same for some 30+ year olds I know.

I agree. the girl shouldnt have to get an abortion. cos I know contraception doesn't always come through. but if the guy isn't ready should he have to stick around if he didn't want too cos the girl didn't want an abortion. no guy should stay for a baby he should stay for love. that's my point exactly the female has the final say. the guy doesn't have a choice in the matter.

I agree. But its not entirely the girls fault. Girls can be on the shot or any type of bc at that & still get pregnant. Just because the guy doesn't want the baby doesn't automatically mean you should get an abortion. If you dont want a baby, don't have sex cuz there's always a chance.

Best friend was a mom back in her teens but by far was one of the most loving mothers i had ever met. So i tend not to judge the young ones who are or about to be mommies. You know yourself best and if your ready for a child then thats your choice. Not a topic for dispute by some keyboard warrior queen. Take care ladies :)

I don't know it just seems like all of us in general so I had to comment I know this is a lot of responsibility I'm very aware but I'm going to step up and do what I have to do for my child because that's what a real women would do

judging by the posts I have seen its basically aimed at the girls who come on here complaining that they are pregnant and how there life is over..but yet did nothing to prevent from getting pregnant..and Ive seen posts from girls as young as 16 asking for advice to get pregnant so they can keep their boyfriends or what ever. or i got pregnant my baby daddy didnt approve and left me. i mean come on. pregnancy is a big deal and i strongllllly believe getting pregnant SHOULD be mutual. not just the chick saying im gonna keep it regardless and then they complain the baby daddy left. too many ppl come down on the guys. yet at the end of the day they dont get a say in the matter. the girl gets the final say!! i have opinions but I dont judge anyone who gets pregnant cos its not my place I just wanted to clarify who I "assume" the posts are aimed at.

Well said I'm 19 and on my second married and happier then can be my daughter is only 3 yrs old and has more respect with her manners then any adults kids my husband and I know our priorties and know our kids come first over anything it really gets on my nerves when someone says my life was gonna be over.. Before I got pregnant this time I was back in college and had a good job the only reason I'm not still there was because welding and working a dangerous job while pregnant and that was at being 18 so anyone who thinks they can't do it..keep your head up and do what's best for your kids!

Thank you! I am 18 getting ready to have my second baby here in the next month. I had my daughter as a freshman and I completed high school at the top 10% of the state of Alaska, and I am going to college. Because of my daughter I did all of that. Don't get me wrong it was hard for both me and her dad to finish school while raising her, but we did it. Plus people don't realize that teenage pregnancy has just recently become a "bad" thing. And in some places it is still practiced that girls will marry young as well as have children in their teens.
