I think it all depends on the person and not just on teens them selves. There are some adults that
don't know how to take care of kids or even try to make a good life for there kids. There are some
teen moms i know that are better mothers than mothers that are older. So i say don't base it on
people as a hole but one the person. |

What a good idea |

My mom was 19 when i was born, my dad was 22. They were young enough to be active in my life growing
up. Mom was a teenager 19. 18 or 19 and having kids is OK, you are an adult. You make your own
decisions. And live with those decisions, if you are younger than 18, you are still a child, and
children should not have children. |

I am so for it! Now i can have sex without a condom and not worry whether or not the girl will be
pregnant because it will help society. I love this sex without consequences! (Note the huge amount
of sarcasm) |

Yup early pregnancy means having to get married early and I'm up for that cause me and and my
boyfriend are wanting to have a baby but getting married when you are 18 is not right so I'm up for
i support you 100% |

If the couple is married and up for it then i say whats the problem? Suree some kids are immature
and irresponsible, but if they cant handle the baby they cant put it up for adoption or take
parenting classes. |

Teenage pregnancy means, early marriages, and i am a total supporter of early marriage. |

I think teenage pregnancy is a good thing. I don't think we always give young people the benefit of
the doubt when it comes to being responsible. Our society expects you to be quite a lot older before
you get a partner and have kids whereas only 40 - 50 years ago people were happily settling down at
16. There is a lot of pressure on being properly educated and getting a good job. What happened to
women just populating the earth?
Young people know what sex is anyway. It is stupid of us to remain ignorant to that. By the time
they are in their teens young people are capable of reproducing - its what we're programmed to do.
Ok, so society is probably a lot more promiscuous than it used to be and we're likely to have 7+
sexual partners then surely if a teenage girl gets pregnant after her first sexual encounter she's
less likely to do it again.
When a teenage girl gets pregnant she has to learn to be responsible very quickly. She probably has
all the tools but has been so smothered it will take her a while to get in gear. She will learn to
make proper life decisions and get to grips with money, accommodation and cleaning etc very quickly.
For any other person they probably won't master this for another 7 - 8 years!
They won't be distracted by careers either. Women are waiting longer and longer to have children so
they can focus on their careers. Fine. But what does that mean for their child when they finally
have one? Their parents will be so much older and probably not as capable or as in touch to do fun
activities with their child. Having a child young means that they get to have all the fun with their
baby while they have the energy and playfulness and work on a career when their child begins school.
There are plenty of evening and open university courses they can follow!
Young mums should have healthier babies too. A teenager has a much lower risk of having a baby with
complications. The young person will be fit and healthy and so their child is likely to be.
They will also have plenty of family including young parents to help with caring and babysitting.
And the grandparents have the advantage of being more agile than they would be in 10 to 15 years
time when they would otherwise be grandparents.
So yes, teenage pregnancy is a good thing for the baby, mother and grandparents. And even society!! |

There is no point of having children if you are not capable of raising them well.
Generaly, Teenage Pregnancy Is A bad Thing imho. |

Keep the population steady? We have enough people. |

Well we know who the hoe in your family is :) |

Are you freaking serious? A teenage girl can barely support herself, so why is it good to add
another mouth to feed? And the world is already overpopulated with humans; they are not keeping the
population steady, but making it worse! Think about the kid: Would you want to be raised by a young
mom who is struggling to keep both of you at a middle-class income? Why the heck would you support
premarital sex, which is sinful and socially unacceptable?
In all fairness, though, of all the teenage moms I've seen, they seem to be doing a pretty good job. |

I don't agree with your statement. True that many teen moms aren't ready to raise a child. But I
don't like a lot of the comments on the "against" side. I had a kid as a teenager. And I feel like
it brought a whole new perspective on life. Before I had my daughter, my life was going away
downhill. I was drinking and doing drugs a lot. When I got pregnant, I pulled my life together.
Now I agree that a lot of teen mom's are very irresponsible, but Not all of us are. |

Teenagers aren't ready physically or mentally. And it makes the population go overboard |
| |
|
| |
|

Teenagers are not ready to care for children. Who says they will become stay-at-home moms? A lot
of them just abort the child or put it up for adoption. Or they have to drop out of school and
start working to provide for the child. |
| |
|
| |
|

A teenager is not emotionally ready to deal with the pressures of raising a child. Not only does the
birth of the child usually put alot of financial pressure on the teen and the teen's family, but
most teenagers don't become stay at home mom's as you mistakingly suggested. Child birth has a huge
impact on a person's life and should be reserved for mature people who are financially and
emotionally ready. I'm not saying that teens are immature, only that there are many things required
to have a child. Let's face it, children are expensive. To raise one costs alot of money and if you
don't have a stable career or a partner to support you, you can fall into debt so fast.
Not just thinking about the girl here but what about the baby? It is very unlikely that the teenage
girl will be able to provide a suitable environment for her child.
As for the population, it's steady enough. We don't need so many babies. If anything the world is
becoming overpopulated with all the careless unprotected sex.
My point is that a baby should be born in a stable environment which a teenage girl can rarely
provide. |

They won't become stay at home mum's! They will leave their kids at home while they go off clubbing
and being teenagers! |
| |
|

This is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. It may be good for population growth
statistics, but really?
Until you are stable financially, mentally and independent enough, then you are not ready to take
care of a child, which most teenagers are not.
It would also be detrimental to education and productivity and the economy, not to mention socially. |

My theory is this....if you aren't old enough/mature enough (both TWO TOTALLY SEPERATE THINGS) to
take care of YOURSELF, then WTF makes you think you are old enough/mature enough to be responsible
in the raising of another human being? Do you have a J.O.B., can you supply for yourself AND a
child w/o DEPENDING ON/SUCKING the government/tax payers dry? Are you able to provide a better life
for your child than is/was provided for you? Chances are NO!!!!!! NO, ........becoming pregnant as
a TEENAGER is the last thing you should be thinking about...HOW ABOUT COLLEGE AFTER YOU FINISH HIGH
SCHOOL?????? Why do you think our world is so POOR to begin w/?????? Get your head out of your
hiney! Now-a-days, it takes TWO working people to take care of a family!!!! Are you really that
ignorant??

Oh are you gonna pay for the baby's and mom's need?and are you gonna do evrything a teenage mom cant
do? |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
How unfair is that on the kid to have a mum who cant pay for them or wants to go out and have a life
instead of staying at home and looking after it |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Teenagers are not physically mentally or financially fit to become a parent. |

And to think i just called you smart, you are obviously a guy, when you get a girl pregnant you wont
suffer but the girl has proof of sex right under her shirt!!!!! God, guys are so inconsiderate |
| |

What are you smoking? I go to school and i see so many girls with so much potential throw their
lives away because they got knocked up. Its stupid because most of the time these teenage girls pin
their babys on their parents and go out and party. I know a few good teenage moms and i do mean A
FEW. And as for the population we have enough people. Plus all the no good fathers out there who
won't even bother to see their kids. Have you even taken money into consideration because kids
aren't cheap. |

Since the Victorian times it has been illegal to have sex with a minor.
I think there is a good case for them to avoid sex until such time that they find someone they want
to spend the rest of their lives with,
But I digress.
The years between sixteen and twenty is valuable time when the young can really discover life.
Better that th | | |
