Wow man, it sounds like you have no luck with girls at all so now you are bitter towards them. Pregnant girls in your school are just like you. You both have made choices in life. Maybe people do not agree with choices you have made, does that mean you are stupid? I think that if a girl gets pregnant at a young age it's her choice. Sure she could have waited and gone down a different path, but she didnt wait. Now she will have a baby. And having a baby when you're young isnt bad. She will get you enjoy her son/daughter for many more years now because she didnt wait. Think about it, how cool is it to enjoy being with your dad, now imagine if you could enjoying having your parents alive another 10 to 15 years. I mean you had a woman give birth to you, how would you like it if someone said you're mother looked like a stupid whale on steriods? No one would like that said about their mom/daughter. Did you really just argue that teenage pregnancy is a good thing? Or did I completely and totally misread it? Yes and no. Teen pregnancy, just like everything in life, has pros and cons. I just stated a few pros. I wouldnt want my daughter to get pregnant at a young age, but if it happened it woudnt be the end of the world. Sure the pregnant girl will miss out on lots of experiences she would have lived through had she not gotten pregnant. But now she will have the joys of motherhood. |

Not sure what joys of motherhood there are to a sixteen year old who just doesn't have the resources of someone just 5 years older than her. Whatever though.

Not sure what joys of motherhood there are to a sixteen year old who just doesn't have the resources of someone just 5 years older than her. Whatever though. You dont need money or an education to love a baby. You dont need those things to enjoy being a mom. Sure money will help you buy more things for your baby. And an education might help you in raising that baby a little better. But still life is a precious gift and if you're able to give the gift of live to a baby than you have done a wonderful thing. Just think of all the cool things you have done in your life with your parents. Or if you're a parent yourself, think of all the cool stuff you've done with your babys. There is no way being a parent is a bad thing. There may be a hand full of cons but in the end it's a beautiful thing. Wouldnt it be wonderful to be in your 40's and have your mom/dad be in there 50's or early 60's? You're hung up on being 16 and pregnant. Sure it's a young age. Sure you might miss out on some school. And sure things will be harder for you than had you waited. Those arguements are all valid but if that's your arguement then why bother to do anything at all in life if it's difficult? Why go away to college and study? I mean sure the payoff is good but wont you struggle being away from home? Wont it be hard not to have moms cooking readily available? Wont it be hard having to figure out how to do laundry on your own? Think of how many family reunions you'll miss out on. Is that what you're telling me? That because things are hard or difficult for us then they are not worth doing? It's easy to sit there and judge people. But neither you nor I will help a pregnant 16 year old we see walk by, so why be negative towards her? Try being positive, try looking at the bright side of things. |

It's cute that you think all you need is love to be a good parent. Quaint and inaccurate, but cute nonetheless. By your logic I should shoot that teenager in the head. That way they will never have to worry about how to pay for college, where they're going to work, whether they're going to be fired, getting old and senile and forgetting everyone they love. Think of all the pain I could spare that person by shooting them in the head when they're 16. It's a ridiculous argument because you can find something positive about everything. That doesn't mean it's good. |

That doesn't mean it's good. You just went off on murdering people. What I said is that I am no one to judge a pregnant 16 year old. So since I have no relation to that girl why would I sit here and talk trash? Instead I'd look at the bright side. And YES all you need is love to be a good parent. Money will never buy you love. Education wont teach you love. Love is something you have in you. You apparently love being a contrarian. |

Still cute that all you need is love to be a good parent. You need way more than that btw.
"Well, I'm sixteen, unemployed, no job skills, baby daddy probably isn't around and now I have to provide for a helpless human. On the bright side, I'll still be young when they're grown up so that's a huge plus. I'm so glad I didn't wait until I had an education, a career and a stable relationship."

I think he's just being completely realistic. It's a major struggle for a sixteen-year old girl (who is essentially a child herself) raising an infant. |

There is absolutely zero possibility that there is a gray area in between these two arguments. Not a chance.

I'm not too keen a lot of this generation. The music, the dress codes, the trends, the way people act and talk, mainly younger people 10 on wards who swear every 5 seconds and try to act tough, when really they are just pathetic.

He's being a realist to a certain extent but he's comming across as an ogre to me. Having a baby at a young age is not the end of the world. Sure it will be a struggle but nothing worth doing is easy. |

Sure it will be a struggle but nothing worth doing is easy. His God is money, so it makes sense that he would think that way. The truth regarding teenagers having kids is in the middle. For some it works out fine, for others it doesn't. Sure, most teens aren't emotionally or financially ready to have children. Neither are most 30 year olds I know. If you wait to have a kid until it makes financial sense, then you will never have a kid. Should more teens give up their children for adoption or get abortions? Probably. So should more adults as well. I have known some teens who had kids who had their lives changed for the better because of it, and of course I have seen the opposite as well. You can't paint teen pregnancy, or any pregnancy with a black and white paintbrush. |
