Wow. GO TEENDAD & TEENMOM!!!!! I back you both up 100%!!!! And Praise_9.....that is the whole point of what they were saying! These little girls want to have babies at 15, 16, and 17. Like you said, finish school and get a job!
I waqs 16 when I got pregnant. It was not planned. I graduated highschool. I married the father. He is working towards his bachelors degree, and I my associates. He works 65 hours a week to keep us in a house and food on the table. I work another 40. Daycare is expensive. Life is expensive. And Yelena, teendad17 didn't say you were wrong. He said his choice was wrong. But like teendad and teenmom, I know what life is like to be a teen parent. And telling these children to go for it is not smart. I work with a teen mom who comes in for one hour a week so she can prove to the state that she has a job so she can get foodstamps, insurance, and childcare assistance. Why on earth would I want ot work my butt off just so my state taxes can go to c**p like this?
Darkred.....go back and read the entire forum.....you'll see who started attacking who.
As for these CHILDREN who want to have babies......dumbest move you'll ever make. I love my daughter more than life. But everyday is a struggle. Everyday we wonder if we will wven have a home next year. Trust me, about 1 out of 30 guys will stay with the girl.
So teendad and teenmom, you keep rocken and good luck on everything you will endure in life!!!!!! It's gonna be tough, but stick together and always put your love and that little boy first!!!!!!!!

Is it mean THIS FORUM only for teenmoms?
No, what I'm saying is don't encourage teenagers to start familes if you don't understand the hardship they will endure.
I undestand, what you mean, and it's great -if you are sharing your experience with other,but Why you send me to other forum?
Am I absolutely have to have your experience to be on this forum?Pls,explain.
Also, I don't see any reason to be angry about other people's posts (this is for teenmom17) :D All people are different,same with their opinions. :)
Were you a teen mom?

Thanks everyone I know my husband was pretty harsh but we just want to stress this to these young girls and guys. And MrsT thanks for standing by us on this. Because you have had the same experienc that we are going through right now and it is hard. We love our son more than anything. But now he's getting older and it is just getting harder. So we wanted to give our srory and our opinion on this post. :-D
a 17 year could do what she pleas as long a shw know she could do ant thing n christ that streghten her :x :x
I am 17 and my husband is 18 and we can barely do it. Having and raising a baby is more than just loving it. It cost MONEY. And right now with the way the economy is I dont think anyone can just pop out a baby and expect it to be easy at all. Yes if you beleive in God and have him on your side it makes it easier but no 17 year old can go out here and get a good enough paying job to raise a baby. NO WAY. :-)
Wow, I am done with this forum. If these TEENAGE CHILDREN want to mess up there lives and live off the government, let them. We gave our advice and our experiences. Great idea, lets not move this country in the right direction. Lets stay in a recession. Go ahead and live in poverty. Ya won't make it without the education. Have fun struggling for the rest of your lives.
Peace out.
Peace out.
I think that the person that will suffer the most will be the child. It is ashamed that 2 people can't wait and just keep their bodies under control and set goals. It is bad when people that have worked all of their lives, put kids through school/ college and many other things ... can't get approved right on the spot for food stamps but have some young teen walk in there with 2 kids and one on the way. They will throw it at her. Its crazy. Some deserve it and some dont. This nation is backwards and crazy. Kids having kids. In the old days, they were responsible and kept their families together. Nobody was on the Maury show seeing who was the baby daddy and momma. *shakes my head* crazy people!!!!
No t every teen mom or parent is like that. Yes I get medicade but only bc I dont have enough money to pay for insurance. But other than that my husband and I pay for everything we need groceries, clothes, ect. ect. So not all teens are like that.
Instead of trying to have kids at 17, maybe you should focus more about your grammar. Get an education first.
FINISH SCHOOL... thats more important right now. because if you dont finish school and get a career how are you going to pay for a child? Im still a teen(19) and I would never think about having a child this young, atleast not intentionally. Im not trying to be mean, but if your Bf loves you as much as he does then you two should stick together and wait until you two are financially ready and have a baby. most teen relationships fail when children are involved. watch "TEEN MOM" or "16 AND PREGNANT" see how macy gets treated or how Amber and her BF fight all the time and they are constantly moving out and moving back in together or how janelle in "16 and pregnant" doesnt even have the father around after the baby was born he took off and basically said F U to the her and wont help out at all, yet he was all in on the pregnancy until the baby was born. its not healthy and a child shouldnt be brought in the world in an unhealthy environment. children are expensive. on average a child costs about 6,000-10,000 a yr. you have to think about what if the child gets really sick as has to be hospitalized or what if it has to be on constant medication, you never know your child could come out extremely healthy or have severe problems and you have to pay alot in medical bills. and you have to factor in that you and your bf have to pay for yourself and your child, you have to think about your own expenses on top of the childs expenses. its expensive. and you also have to factor in what if you or your partner loose their job, we are in a tough economy right now and alot of ppl are getting laid off and loosing their jobs then how will you pay for the child? your time will come to have a child. enjoy being young, once a child is around you wont be able to party, hang with your friends much or really do much of anything. enjoy these years get your partying out of the way and your hanging with your friends out of the way and when your a little older think about a child. it will happen in the future. theres no rush.
and im not trying to be judgemental just thinking rationally. its not easy, ask other teen moms. most (not all) guys take off as soon as the bay is born, most (not all) guys are way more immature then girls are, takes them alot longer to grow up and catch up to our mentality. dont get yourself in a bad position that you will regret, because most teen moms regret having had got pregnant so young. they dont regret the child just regret the timing and the situation. so no need for all the fighting on here, people are just concerned and trying to help.
i Know exactly how you feel, im seventeen, & im not going to say i tried to get pregnant, but i did have unprotected sex for like 6 months & never got pregnant. THen when i least expected it i found out im 8 weeks, & now i feel sick every morning & its horrible, Yeah i can take care of it and im some what excited. But i can honestly say if i could go back i would!
I'm 17 and my son is 1 years old now. My husband is 18 and it is taking him longer to grow up than it has for me. I grew up fast but my husband has a hard time letting things go. So girls just wait. I dont regret my son but I do wish I would've waited to have a kid. Yes I have my GED and my husband has his but it is still hard to find a job. So just wait.
if you and your boyfriend are finacially stable and your relationship is stable, there is no reason why you shoundn't have a baby
Don't worry I'm 17 and married and me and my hubby have been trying for six months now to get pregnant i know it's hard and stressful but give it a year before youre truly worried. I wish you the best of luck :-D
