yeah i agree that teen pregnancy isn't cool but things happen and there is really nothing other people can do about it.
Just the fact of people judging teenagers that are pregnant doesn't make that girl feel good and she would want to do something stupid either to herself or the baby.
These are horrible things but in this world, nothing really is well.. we just have to deal with it.
I have several teen mothers and they are just fine how they are. they are still in school and take care of their kids and have a better life now than what they did before.
Why would she be happy? That was HER baby. and she lost it. That she should be happy not of the fact she was going to be a mom at 16 bt that she had the ability to bare a child.
I agree if I were to become pregnant at such a young age.. Actually at any age and then to lose my baby I would be completely devistated.. Many people are unable to give birth to such miracles and many people who do have children end up abusing them physically, Emotionally and Sexually. I believe the world is become a downward spiraling black-hole of abuse and discrimination
I was a pregnant teen 9 months ago but i miscarriaged. There is nothing more painful than losing a child, but everyday i wake up and think to myself, "God did this to give me a second chance at life, to live it." I'm only fifteen.
hello im muty from indonesia, and i don't speak english very good but i will try to give suggestion. and i don't really know if asian be able to join this site but in fact i able to join this site. let's go to the point. in think teen pregnancies is really bad idea because youth is a time for fun, looking for new experience, education, and the begining of a new life in the future. so better have a baby when their ages is already 20 more and when they already get married. because i guess under 20 years old, female's vagina is not firm enough to expel a baby. so better don't do sex before marriage or use condom correctly
I understand where all of you guys are coming from. But you also have to look at the teens with kids. I have 2 kids,daughter age 2 and son 2 months, and I'm only 15. They are the joy of my life. I wouldn't give them up for the world. Even tho I don't have the time to hang out with my friends all the time like I used to they understand. And even tho most of the time I do hang out with my friends I have to bring my babies we have alot of fun. Babies can mess your life up or they can make it better. So there is no reason to talk about teens with kids.
I FILL THE SAME WAY!!!

hello people im only 14 and i have had a miscarrege before.losing a child is like losing ur own life.im pregnet again and even though im young and even though my parents will be mad at me again im happy cause i can have my own little angel.its tough to be a mother cause i noticed it alot but it dont matter to me.im still gonna stay in school and im still going to graduate.just because i wasent protecting my self in sex doent mean im going to drop out cause im still in school and i wont get out until i graduate.my child changed my life since i found out im a mother to be again.yup im going to be a single parent but my baby daddy still helps me out and no matter what happens i dont regret being pregnet again
I am very proud of you.
I was the same way.
I'm still in school and I have 2 kids.
They are the world to me.
I wouldn't love them any different if I was older.
Even if your parents get mad at you they wont be mad for long.
They are going to love the baby.
And I am happy that the babys father is going to be there for you and the baby.
How far along are you?
Although you may not regret being pregant again other people do. And thats what leads to abortion and what not the way you write this is like your encoraging other people that it will be ok to have a kid at 14. When really it not. How are you going to get money to take care of the baby? When are you going to find time to study when the baby is crying? I am not saying you can't take care of a child I am just saying it probale isn't going to be as easy as you make it out to be.
I currently am seventeen years old and I am pregnant. I have had to make the hardest decision(s) of my life regarding this child, including, Abortion, Adoption, Keeping the baby, What is best for the baby, etc. I don't want any teen to have to go through this, because it is harder than I ever thought it was. I also want to prevent any more teens from intentionally getting pregnant. I have a personal blog that I run and update daily on my life, this experience, and this issue. It does not glamorize teen pregnancy, but gives the "real deal" from somebody who is experiencing it. I am also participating in a documentary on national television regarding this issue. I just want to prevent teen pregnancy as much as I can, and spread awareness.
www.ashleydsalazar.com is my blog.
Teens that are pregnant and need help can go to a Birth Choice near you. They are a great resource. I absolutely do NOT recommend aborting the child. As you may or may not know, abortion is the unlawful act of MURDER!!!!!! It not only kills your child, but it also hurts you as the mother. Thank you for reading this, and good luck in your pregnancy. Know that I am praying for you all.
i think this topic is a very interesting issue. i can honestly say i can relate to this. i am a teen mom and i love my son to death but sometimes i wish i would have waited. its hard haveing a kid at 17 and going to school and having two jobs.
