As a teenager myself i understand all the consequences of teenage pregnancy Many of my friends at school have been caught pregnant and most have had to go though the painful ordeal of abortion. I do think teen pregnancy is wrong, but we all know that we were put on ths planet to do somthing in our lives and maybe to these women it is being a mother. My friend is 16 is great mum and her child is so lovely. To a certain extent i do believe that teen pregnancy is bad but after seeing a young mothers point of view it has swayed my judgement.

I believe that if the teenage has no support. ie from work, bf family ect than she should not be a mother.
However if the teenager has good parents,enough money ans support to bring the child up and is willing to be a proper parent, i agree with this.

Getting caught pregnant at a young age is not always a bad thing, yes your life my not have started properly yet but its up to the teens to figure that out for themselves, and who knows any of our children in years to come could maybe make this mistake and ther is nothing that we can do about it, its there choice and there baby. If they want to postpone there lives then so be it.

But just a polite note to the people who may disagree with what i have said, dont be to quick to judge, always look at it from both pointsof view, not just the one you think of first.

well...teenage pregnancy is a psychological and social problem and should be address inside each family...first of all if sex education is discussed much earlier in their homes by parents then i firmly believe that this can be prevented...media also has a big responsibilty over this moral problem...in this current modern world...children as young as 5 years are already exposed to sexual subjects in tv, internet, magazines and other media related mediums...parents should first educate their children before they are exposed to these things...

I also have a girly friend that thought that she was pregnant.
Thank God(or what ever else)that she isn't it.
I mean she went 16 for only a half year.
And the dumbass from a guy is 36. *wanna kill this guy for this

I honestly don't see why is this topic considered a problem.. I know many happy couples who were a happyteenagepregnant couple who was condemned by family and some frustrated "moralists" whos only real problem is lack of any kind of "action"..
And now they have very healthy marriages (as much as humanly possible) as any other couple,in many cases even healthier..
For me the only problems are sociaty and families,who constantly attack and judge people in that position,and eventually make them believe that they are incompetent idiots who have just f**ked up their whole life and will never make anything out of themselves..
Pathetic..they got pragnant,so what!! Life is a fight anyway..FFS! Or why don't they just shoot themselves immediatly..right?

Teenage Pregnancys Seem To Happen Due to Peer Presure And Loosin Your Virginity When Your Not Ready To Well Thats What I Think And Happens Where I Live I Supose If Yah Fink Yah Can Cope Wid A Kid When Yuur In Yuur Teens Fair Enuff But No One Really Wud Plan On Havin A Kid Wen Der Still Young

i think that there is nothing wrong with teenage pregnancy if the couple have carefully planned it and can support them selves and the baby i think it is perfectly ok but if it is due to sum immature kids acting carelessly then i think it is wrong babies need to be cared for and if u think u can bring up a child then wors the big deal

Yes, referring to Post #1, one of the factors of the increment of world population is the teenage women pregnancy. Many teenagers today are easily addicted to pornography due to peer pressure and lack of sexual education from the parents. Just look in Zedge itself, Siteguards had to be elected in order to clear this site from these pornography items.

These pornography items thus leads especially males to perform sexual intercourse with their couple. This then contribute to the production of an illegal baby which increase world population. Thus, rape cases happens anywhere around the world.

Note: Exceptions for these are teenage couples who are already married, TQ.

Leading on from this topic, teenage pregnancy is a problem, the teen parents are not ready for the responsibility, should abortion be frowned upon, is not abortion a "cure" and is it not about choice.
