I have to agree with Stefane. Every situation is different. I got pregnant at 16 and became a mother at 17 (I am now 23). I wasnt "trying" to get pregnant. I got pregnant the 3rd time I had sex, which was the ONLY time it was unprotected. I how have a beautiful almost 6 year old daughter as well as an almost 3 yr old and am in a wonderful, healthy relationship. True that I was young, but I really dont think age is a factor; its how mature you are.

i wasnt critizing anyone
there are lots of teen parents who make actually GREAT moms
i just didnt like the fact that they are so young TRYING to get pregnant
im my opinion
im my school, they was a girl who was pregnant and i knew her, and everyone wanted to be around her, she was like center of attention, then lots of ppl who were being left of because of it, started to be like oh im pregnant , i think im pregnant just to get the attention on them

Your 16 and pregnant yourself
So there for your in no place to judge anyone

Listen, most girls are responsible and you know what? At least there happy and not thinking about killing it! Duh! I was 15 when I got pregnant and so what? I wasn't using protection but you know what? At least I didn't decide to kill Derek. I decided to take RESPONSIBILITY and keep him. Other's may not keep theres but most give them up for adoption so a nice loving family who are as blessed can have a child of there own! Think of it like that!!! At least there happy and not thinking about killing there new bundle of joy. -.-'

*aren't as blessed*

knew this would turn into an argument. Jeeee

yup i just wanted peoples opinions if they felt the same way i did
sure im 16 and pregnant, and i wasnt saying dont critisize me
do what ever makes you sleep at night it sure doesnt bother me
i was sure at the wrong not using both a condom and BC
i was mainly talking about the immature teens who are trying to get pregnant
like f*uck guys calm down

apparently cant have an opinion nowadays. Just get bashed for voicing it. Its terrible.

haha the funny thing is
it doesnt bother me that people do this
it just makes them happy bashing then go for it !!!

There are alot of teens getting pregnant on purpose and whether I express my opinion or you express yours isnt going to change that. Passing judgement isnt going to change a thing. Teenagers are going to do what they want as long as the baby is being cared for then it doesnt concern me. Frankly I dont think it concerns anyone no matter what age you get pregnant.

Shouldnt we try to support each other? instead of trying to upset everyone else?
ITs a very hard topic because yes you are intitled to your own opinion but in some cases people should just keep there mouths shut!!


A so called friend just recently upset me with a comment. I felt comfortable enough to discuss the fact i lost my son with her and she turned around and said i deserved to lose my little boy because i was to young and getting pregnant in the first place was dumb. IN circumstances like that i think people should just keep there opinions to themselves.


Lets not turn this into a debate. We need each others support

gees people, i was staying out of this thread, but you guys need to really read this post and see what see is really saying, she isnt judging or critisizing anyone! she is 16 and pregnant and understands what all of you are saying, she is talking about all the young teens TRYING to get prego. sure it happens and i can guarantee that 95% of you guys didnt try to get pregnant. if it happens make the most of it and do your best, but dont go trying to get pregnant. kids that young really arent even physically ready to get prego, thats y so many of them misscarry... so before you open your mouths and start arguing and telling her not to judge, make sure you know what your responding to!

Look,I am sorry for being a bit hostile in my first post on this discussion...But this is something no one should have EVER started.You really have to sit back and think about things before you post them.If not,it could end up exactly like this.This is a lesson for everyone...Think about stuff before you post it.Especially if you want to keep peace!

I understand where she was com ing from and i do agree. But i dont think people in the same situation should be judging others. I wanted to get pregnant.

But i do understand, because it seems 16 is the new age to have a baby. But its more accepted these days then it was back when our parents were yopung.

If young girls purposly decide to get pregnant i dont support that, but if they can turn it around, and prove they can be a good parent to there child, then why debate it!!

I just felt like maybe I should point out that not too long ago you wrote a post wanting a baby. That feeling you had was 'maternal instincts' many girls get it that is why many plan their pregnancy because they think they are ready and would be good moms. Just like you did they too have that instinct and they act upon it because they dont know any other way to react to it. But what they dont know is that you have to be very devoted to a baby and they need constant attention and are not a pair of shoes you get bored of and throw out. So what I am getting at is they dont understand till they day the kid pops out that you have to do everything for the child,when the child needs it and you cant just shut the kid out whenever.

This is/was a support group for pregnant teens who need support regardless of their situation and whether or not they planned it we should still support them through their pregnancy not debate on what is the right or wrong way to get pregnant.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion but why share it when it comes to somthing as so sensitive as teen pregnancy? When teens whether or not are on birthcontrol are terrified of what is coming next. The last thing they need is for someone to judge or discriminate them.
