What do you think of teen parents?

Question

I am 16 years old and my daughter will be 3 months on the 30 of january, people say to me you should keep your legs closed they call me a tramp a slut or what ever they say walfare takes care of my baby. me being a parent brought joy to my life having my lil gurl is better than any thing do you thing that a teenager can't do for their child like a adult can? does every one think that just a gurl is a certain age walfare has to take care of their child ? do you think gurls younger than 16 should wait to have sex ? do you think that having sex before you 18 is rape?

Answer 1

First of all,I think that a mother(no matter what her age is) is a mother and nothing can stop her do the best for her child.I don't think that teenagers can't take care of a child.Yes,teenages may not have money(some of them have jobs by the way) but love, attention, hugs, kisses...they are not bought with money and everyone can give that to his/her child.And congrats on your child!I appreciate young girls who decide to care for their babies.

Second - I don't think a teenager should wait until 16 to have sex.There is no age for having sex and falling in love.I think sex should follow love.Even if you are 30,having sex without love is more stupid act than having sex with love at the age of 14.Also,everybody should be aware of the danger from having sex and be ready to use contraceptions.If that is so,there is no problem of having sex before age 16.

And finally,I disagree with sex only after marriage.Times change.Sex before marriage was a bad thing 100 years ago but now it's not like that.I think people should know each-other better if they love each-other.

Answer 2

I think it's easier for an adult to have a child then a teenager. Just because you're a teen parent doesn't mean you live on welfare and yes 16 year old girls should wait to have sex and it's only rape before 18 if the person forces you to have sex.

I had my first two children at 17 and 19. It wasn't easy but we made it, I was one of the lucky ones. The father stuck with me to help.

I waited and had my third child when I was 27 and it is so much easier. It is totally possible to be a good parent when you're young but it's the hardest thing you will ever do. It's also the most rewarding.

I hope you have a great support system in your family because you will need them, especially your own mother. Colic, teething, diaper rashes, stomach viruses.. etc. This doesn't have anything to do with your being young. Listen to your mom and being a parent will be 100 times easier. Trust me, she's been through this.

Answer 3

People aren't going to like you...but that's their problem. The only person in the entire world who matters now is your daughter. The rest of the world can go hang itself. It doesn't matter if what you did was right or wrong or silly or anything. What matters is now you're doing to the best thing you can for your daughter. If that means you have to get a little extra help from the government then that's fine. Either stay in school or get your GED and get a job. If you can swing it still go to college. I'm not as young as you and I gave birth a month after I graduated from high school and now am in college. Our family is almost completely self sufficient (a little help every now and again from family is nice but not required) and people still think we're horrible people. There will always be some people in the world who don't approve no matter what you do. That's just the way life is. And your life isn't over. It's just different. Sure you can't go clubbing all the time and get drunk every weekend but really that's not what you should have been doing anyway.

Answer 4

I had my first son 2 weeks after I turned 17, I have never been on welfare or AFDC (or whatever it's called) I got a job to help to support my son, and yes I was lucky enough to get married to my sons father and still be happy about our family almost 10 years latter (and we have 2 boys now).

As long as your taking responsibility for your child, have a job and are able to find a way to support your child then I have no problem with it.



But when it comes to people who just have kids to get free money (and the taxes we pay say it isn't so free) don't bother to even try to get a job to provide for there families and just make one excuse after another as to why they can't do it with out government help, then yes I do have a problem with it and I don't care if there 16 or 100.

I say if you can't get a job then you don't need to be having sex. Sex is not a necessary part of life, no matter how good it feels or how much someone wants it, people can live without it (I'm just glad I don't have to). But children do NEED to be fed, clothed, sheltered and loved. It's the PARENTS job to do this. It was the PARENTS who had sex and created the children, not the next door neighbors or the childless couple across town, so why should they have to be the ones who pay for it? Welfare and AFDC (or whatever) were not meant to be a life long thing, yet some people live there lives on it with no effort to ever even try to get off it. These are the people that I don't understand or even like.

Answer 5

you know, we as humans do not realise that we are doing something wrong when we do it. so even if the whole world says that we are wrong, we won't listen to it.



you are 16 now and with child. your decision was not right (having sex and all) but i don't think you are going to understand now. when you get older, more wiser, you will understand why teen parenting and teen sex are not encouraged.



but hey, i am very glad that you took responsible for your child. and a proud and happy mom too. and yeah, having a child (be it boy or girl) is a wonderful thing.



i think its better if you put your all into this child for now. you can have more kids a little later. plus i am not sure if your family has ample money to survive on and hence if you can bring up your kid without problem.



you are not a "tramp a ****". none of us have the right to call you names or judge you because none of us here are pure.



welfare are set to help people in need. if you can bring up child without problems - its not only about providing education, food ..(basic needs) but to give your child the love, care, protection and be there when she needs you) - then i don't think they have to take away your child or anything like that. anyways, i don't know which country are you in so i've no clue what are the rules & regulations there. so i can't comment on this much.



i believe that girls younger than 16 shouldn't have sex.



i believe having sex before 18 is foolishness, immature and due to unawareness.

Answer 6

I don't think teen parents are bad or "tramps", etc., but being a parent is tough enough when you're older, more experienced and have more $! It may seem all roses now, to you, while the baby is an infant and people are hovering around, telling you how cute she is. JUST WAIT 'til she starts into the various, difficult stages, like teething, potty training, getting off the bottle (or breast) and into the tantrum phases! You won't have so much help then, unless your friends and family are saints!



No, I don't think it's a good idea for ANYONE who's inexperienced to have kids, especially teens! They're almost certainly going to screw up more than older parents AND they'll resent having their youth taken away by the kid! That's when child abuse and neglect CAN become problems. You need help, and with it, yes, you can do a pretty good job of raising a child, but your youth is GONE! You can't have both.



As for sex before age 18? No, it's only rape if it's under age 16, in most states. But if a guy really loves you...he will WAIT!



Look...we ALL (well most of us) want to have sex! That doesn't mean we have to do it! Just like I don't go steal a Ferrari because I really want one! Get it?



Good luck to you and your girl...you are REALLY going to need support!



Addition: I'm SHOCKED at how many people think that teen parenthood is "no big deal"! It's tough enough for adults to raise kids well, let alone those who are kids themselves! I see a LOT of excuse-making and defensiveness going on!



And to the person who said that kids should NOT wait 'til 16 to have sex?! GET A CLUE! Sex is not the be-all and end-all! Sure it's fun and great, but you CAN survive without it! And, if you DO find you MUST have it (which is really sad!), then get hold of at least ONE of the many birth control devices that have been around for almost 100 years! Take the famous Casanova: he had sex with lots of women, but openly advocated the use of condoms, in the 1700's!



NOBODY is thinking about the kids, as far as I can tell...only about themselves and THEIR sex urges and THEIR image! It's a travesty and no wonder that kids in this society are so messed up! Now...many of them have teenagers for parents, with no training, no job, no money, who only care IF PEOPLE LIKE THEM! SHEESH! GROW UP!



My parents didn't have me 'til they were in their 20's, and they STILL screwed things up! At least find out if you're mentally healthy before bringing an innocent life into the world! If you're not, then have an abortion. It's kinder to the child than being raised by self-centered, ignorant idiots!

Answer 7

I don't like it when teens have children on purpose, have 10 abortions because they are irresponsible or have five kids when they are 17, but I understand things happen.



As long as you can care for your child I think thats great. It doesn't bother me that teen parents use public assistance, because that's what it is there for. But teens that ignore their children because they are selfish give teen parents a bad name and really bugs me.



I don't think people should have sex until they are in a good relationship for several years, or can accept the consequences of sex. Sex before 16 isn't the best thing. No I don't think it should be considered rape prior to being 18, but instead if there is more than 3-4 years in age difference. A 13 and a 16 year old shouldn't be having sex. Neither should a 14 and an 18 year old. If one person is 18 and under and the other is 21+ that should be considered rape.

Answer 8

I hate to say this but you will always face peoples opinions i got pregnant at 15 and had my son at 16 I decided to get married get my own place settle down and start my life as a mom. I have now been married four years yes i graduated high school with the thanks to lots of saturday school. People will always say how stupid it is but i love being a mom and i wouldnt change it for anything in the world my oldest son is now 3 1/2 an my baby is 16 months im buying my first home and working on baby number 3.......Its all about how you take parenting yes people assume you have to be poor or stupid but the truth is sex is a part of nature when we have children doesnt decide how smart we are its what we do after that, i started my life as a full time mom and its what i love i dont have to work becuase my husband takes care of that but if i wanted to i can. I had so many snikers and ugly looks but i told them what i do in my bed is only my concern. And to the comments those idiots left screw them if you are a good mom and love your kid then it doesnt matter the age you had her. There are moms who are 25, 26, 27 and so on who are drug addicts and let there boyfriends molest there kids. SO NO AGE DOESNT MATTER, its how you are as a parent love that child teach them right from wrong and show them srtong will and a happy life and years from now when they are grown you will know the satisfaction of having that child so young its a learning experice for you so pay attetnion. best of luck and i promise as times goes by things will get better and the comments will stop. not completly theres an idiot in every village well a few from the looks of things.....best of luck and congrats im trying for a little girl your lucky....teach her well.

Answer 9

I know how much joy children bring to your life; I have two of my own. There are so many things that come easier if you wait until you are older and married. I do agree with waiting until you are older to have sex but I also know how unlikely that is. Protect, protect, and double protect needs to be the number one thought on teenager’s minds if they are going to have sex.



My mother raised us partially on welfare but got off of it as soon as she didn't need it. If you need it then use it but do as my mother did and don't abuse it.



Yes, there are double standards when talking about girls and boys.



As for rape, if one person is a legal adult and the other is not but still a teenager it is considered 'contributing to the delinquency of a minor'. Rape is if one person says no and the other still forces them self on the person saying no.



I have a friend who has 4 children all with different daddies and has never married. She is now 30 and still struggling. The more children you have the harder it gets even when you have a husband. I do agree with you waiting to have sex again until you are older. I do not think of you as a wh**e or a tramp. It isn’t my place to judge.



Keep in mind parenting only gets harder (in different ways) as they get older. Consistency is key along with love, listening and support when parenting your children.



Please if there is any of this that will help you in your life, remember it and use it. Bless you and your little girl. I hope life only brings you happiness and good fortune.

Answer 10

hey,

im 17 and my little James is going to be 9 months on the 12th of january!

I think teenage parents are like any parent, they can be the best and the worst.

I didnt choose to have James, it happened, it was a mistake, but James ISNT a mistake.

Having sex isnt rape if you are under 18, the law says 16 is the concent age.

Me and my boyfriend and still together, we have a house and all we get is child benfit!



I dont think teenage parents are that bad, times are changing, 100 years ago, 'teen' parents would be the norm!



Dont let people put you down!

Answer 11

I know from personal experience that being a teen parent isn't easy and people always tend to think the worst of the mother. But on the other hand society says to teens it is ok to have sex, just use protection and gives them bonuses for having babies. My sister was 16 when she had her first child in the 70's and teen mothers were given a hard time then. If it happens, then family should be there to give support. I know they can be just as capable as older mums and often will go sacrifice more for their children than older mums.

Answer 12

are you taking care of your baby or are your parents taking care of your baby.



What was so wrong with your life that it took having a kid to make you happy?



there are things that an adult can do that teens can not do when it comes to caring for a baby.... unless that teen has a job, they cant fully support the baby like an adult can(ie... the grandparents)



as the parent of a teen mother, i definitely think that girls should wait to have sex or at the very least make sure they use protection if they are going to have sex.

Answer 13

in a way in your age no matter you say u are ready and willing to take care you baby, still it wont be enough. u are a child and you alone needs that care too. u have little things u know of how is proper parenting. ask some assistance. but it doesnt mean leave all the responsibilities to others. still part take.



yes, youngsters should and really be obliged to wait for the right time to engage to act that has a lot of consequences in the future.

Answer 14

i got pregnant with my daughter when i was 16 and had her when i was 17. I had my son when i was 18. .I am now 33. i was always a great mom I was a better parent to my children than my sisters were to their kids and they had their first children at 24 and 25 and i also took care of not only my own children but theirs as well so they could go to work. i don't think that its age. i think its maturity and getting your priorities in order. new parents are new parents who learn through their mistakes.if you're a new parent at 16 or 30 you're inexperienced and not knowing what to expect. I'm living a better life and have better behaved children than people that i know who waited to have children. I now have 4 children(ages 15,14,8,2) and since all kids are different you feel inexperienced with each one no matter what age you are, to some extent. don't let anyone get you down.let the negative motivate you. i think it helped me be a great mom. I was always trying to prove eveyone wrong. its hard knowing that people are just waiting for you to screw up but they get tired and stop when they realize that what they're waiting for isn't gonna happen.I used to go to this school called the young parents program so i could get my high school diploma (yes i finished) and i was part of this peer ed group and we went from school to school to tell other kids how bad it sucked being a teen mom. i hated it because i loved being a mom from day 1. i always thought we should have also talked to pregnant teens to tell them the joys that are ahead. my daughter is 15 and to tell you the truth i do not know what i would do if she were to get pregnant but i would be supportive like my mom was for me. your daughter's lucky to have a mom who loves her and is happy being her mom.yes i do think girls who are younger than 16 should wait to have sex. teenage sex sucks compared to adult sex. welfare is a priviledge and not a right and it should be treated as such

Answer 15

I think that if you are taking good care of your children and love them dearly there is nothing wrong with it. Think about it in the 60's people married at 15-16 and had kids at that age as well. The only problem I have with it is if you don't take care for your child you live off welfare and refuse to work, and you rip off the government by reproducing just for the check then you have issues.

Answer 16

Don't let people tell you who they think you are. My mother had me when she was your age and she sure as heck never accepted goverment cheese she had way 2 much pride. She raised me right and im thankful.You know that your a good mother thats all that matters. I think that a teen can be as good a mother as an adult its just a lot harder for them Having 2 work go 2 school it can be hard raising kids its hard even for grown women. You single mothers do a lot. Its easy to see the flaws in teen mothers but what people don't see is that they could have just as easily had an abortion and kept there lives for themselves but they decided that there child deserved a life.

Answer 17

I think as long as you know what you are getting into and you are finacially, as well as emotionally stable, there is nothing wrong with it. It's ideal to wait until you are with someone you love and you two have a commitment, so that the baby can have both a mother and a father, but as long as you are able to set boundries for a child and love it unconditionally (and provide for it) there is nothing wrong with it. People are ignorant to call you a tramp or tell you to keep your legs closed. While you probably should've waited, that is neither here nor there. You are a mother, and you deserve respect as any mother does. It is the most noble profession in the world. But, if you don't feel you can take care of it, there is no shame in adoption. It is your right to do as you please, just make sure you think of the baby before all else.

Answer 18

Rape is only for the unwilling. Sex is a tough subject and it's not fully understood when 14, 15, 16, 17 year olds are having sex. Yeah they talk about it in school and if your lucky your parents talk to you about it. But most people do it way to early. However as for teen parents. If your a teen parent and getting abortions, or giving them up for adoption or letting your family take care of them than yeah shame on you. But for those out there who stand up and take on the responsibility they have brought on themselves. Be the best parent provide, etc. Than they deserve a pat on the back. As for you directly don't worry about what others say the only opinion count is your babies and if your doing everything in your power to provide, care, and love etc than in the end when he/she is old enough they will say thank you. People in today's world like to judge don't allow them to judge you girl, don't let them bring you down to your level who cares that your 16 if you taking on the responsibility of your child, whether welfare is helping or not that's why they have them programs. I am a leader of a young mommy support group so if you need to talk anytime i am here.

Stay Strong.

Answer 19

Personally I do not find it to be a desireable situation. I do not believe a teenager can provide for a child or raise them the "right" way. I do believe teens (me being a teen myself) have sex too young and are not ready for the responsibilities it brings. I do not believe it is a good situation, but I do know too well that things happen... I respect anyone for deciding to keep the baby and IF they are doing the best they possibly can to meet their baby's and own needs.

As far as sex before 18 being rape, my thoughts are you can't rape the willing... it takes two to tango... ya know?

Answer 20

Rape is when someone forces themselves on you when you say no.

I think if your going to have sex when you are a teenager you should get on birth control and use condoms.

I think people should wait to have sex. Why get pregnant when you are a baby yourself?

You say you are taking care of your child so do you have your own place? A job or does that daddy work? Is your prents helping you? Do you draw welfare? You may tend to your baby and all but do you support it financially?



I am not saying you are a **** or whatever people calls you but i don't see why any teenager would want to have a baby so early on in life.

Answer 21

usually a teen doesnt make enough to support a child. who buys diapers, formula(or are you the rare teen that breastfeeds), clothing, pays for doc, medicine, daycare while you're in school. you would hav eto make a hell of a lot not to depend on welfare, either state or mommy and daddy. you may think it brings joy to your life to have a kid, but its a joy that could have waited. i think any girl should wait to have sex unntil they are married or 100% financially able to take care of any products of conception. if the boy is 18 or older and you aren't in some states that is considered statuatory rape. many states do not consider a 15 or 16 yr old to be legally able to consent to sex. and also having a baby that young and possibly expecting another shows loose values and morals and a lack of self control. aka a tramp

Answer 22

i replaced into 15 as quickly as I had my toddler, Age does play a ingredient on condition that there's a huge adulthood point from being 15 or 17 whilst in comparison with being 27. i think in case you have been noted actual then there are no longer any questions concerning the affection you have for a new child whilst this is born no count what your age is. If i ought to turn back time confident i could have waited yet abortion replaced into in no way an decision yet i replaced into blessed in the actual shown fact that i replaced into able to help myself financially on condition that I got here into allot of money $3 hundred,000.00 whilst i replaced into 15 from an vehicle twist of destiny in simple terms before conceiving so as that helped particularly and took allot of concerns off my shoulders and my mothers and fathers. I had an extremely good help gadget and loving kin it extremely is very important having a new child youthful. i do no longer think of at any age you're waiting for the household projects a new child desires and you learn as you pass.. you additionally could make it and be advantageous and the youngster can strengthen up and not be effected by employing being so youthful once you had her have self assurance me, my daughter is 10, immediately A student, I went to varsity, survive my own and have been on condition that i replaced into 19, I do it on my own with the help of my kin and husband.. maximum suitable of success to you and your toddler and don't enable a number of those posts get to you, they dont be attentive to you or your up bringing..

Answer 23

For most teens, a baby would ruin the rest of their 'teenhood', since that forces them to start adulthood a bit earlier than planned. But if it brings joy to your life and makes you happy, then people should be happy for you too.

What teens cant to that adults can is make enough money to support the new addition to their family. See, adults who have graduated from high school and possibly college have the opportunity to get better payed jobs, whereas teens who haven't completed either course of education cant. If they are lucky enough to have parents with enough money who are willing to support them, good for them, but if they dont, well, thats obvious. Dont ever think you can get by with a little money. The chances of that are pretty slim. A baby requires tons of special baby food, as well as toys to enchance & encourage learning(i know they arent available to certain families so thats ok). Next - DIAPERS!! Tons and tons of diapers! This can range from about 5-10 diapers a day! Your baby will also need clothes. Financialy challenged people may have fewer clothes, and thats okay, as long as they always have a clean change of clothes(lots of washing). Babies make messes of course and get dirty constantly. You may not see that as a problem, but if say the baby spilled any cold liquid on themselves, they will need to be dried fast. It causes them to get sick (flu/cold) which is even worse since the smallest cold can get serious especially with newborns. Now there are tons of other things i can talk about but i think you can see my point pretty well.

Also, all most teens want to do is just have fun and live life to the fullest while they still can. With a baby, its not so easy. You have to be there constantly to take care of the baby as well as spend quality time with her/him to encourage development. That way, it distracts you from school (MUCH less homework time & sleep), which often leads to dropping out. When you drop out of school, you wont ever be able to get a good job without completing it, and sooner or later, your parents will not be there for you anymore. This leaves you with the baby (and dad if hes around) and almost no money. Talk about a hard life. This is why most people wait untill they are steady financialy to start a family. That of course isnt always planned, so the choice of taking a risk is all yours.

Answer 24

I was a teen parent and also suffered humiliation. My arguement now is that age has nothing to do with being a mother, maturity does and I have seen mothers in their 30's who have neglected or abused their children, while I have seen some teenagers become wonderful parents. So hold you head up high and be proud of you and your daughter!

Answer 25

some can some can't it depends how mature the person is. I don't judge teenager having a baby its their life, I just wish some of them would wait. having a baby when your adult is hard alone, so it must be really hard when they are teenager. they have their whole life ahead of them, to go out, no big responsiblity and no one to tie them down, until they get pregnant, then if they want to go out they have to find a babysister,etc. but at least they are taking the responsibilty for their child.

Answer 26

i think that girls younger than 16 should wait to have sex. i think that it is harder for a teen to provide for a child than it is for an adult but i think with some help that teens can become great parents. i think that in some cases that having sex before 18 is considered rape. good luck with your child.

Answer 27

no i disagree i was pregnant with my 1st child at 15 n a half n had her at 16 and i had my 2nd baby at 18 noone has labelled me a tramp or anything else and teens can do just as well as adults if they are determined enough to do it! i know i have done well i'm 20 now and both my children are happy and healthy

Answer 28

16 is way too young to have a baby, yea, it makes you happy, but you won't understand that it's too young until you are older. I'm sure you don't like this, but you're too immature to get the whole concept of why you are too young. Yes, it does make you look bad that you have a child & are on welfare at 16 because again, you are too young to be in that situation, people see it as immaturity, irresponsbility, & selfishness. Adults know more & have more experiance in life, so they tend to be better suited parents, plus, they have "lived their life" so to say, you have not. You should be at least 16 before having sex, & if the girl if forced or the boy is 18 or older, than yes, it is rape.



At least you are taking responsibility for your child. I hope you can finish school and then get a job and don't rely on eveyone (including tax payers) to support and raise your baby for you, but for now, you'll need their help.



Learn from this experiance, get on birth control & use a condom, & don't jump into sex w/ a guy right away. The last thing you need is lots of babies w/ different dads &/or a sexual disease.

Answer 29

i too am in your position. i am 17 with a 3 month old. but i love my son dearly. i have made mistakes, you have made mistakes, we all gave made mistake. it is not someones place to judge you or me or anyone.



i am sure you love your child otherwise you wouldnt be so concerned about what ppl say. but they are just closed minded and ignorant. i am on my own working full time and going to college full time, no welfare for me. i managed to graduate early and am pulling A's in my classes now.



i think our generation has had it alot harder growing up than others. and i also think we are doing a pretty good job at it. we had alot of pressures and responsibilities. alot of our generation grew up fast and we put our selves in these situations bc of it.



basically what i am saying is, they should judge us or generalize because not all teenage moms are on welfare nor are they bad mothers.

Answer 30

If I tell you my opinion it might offend you or other young mothers. I am 26 and I can only say that is easy for someone to judge who hasn't had kids early. All you can do is prove people wrong by taking care of your kid the best way you can and not worry about what others are thinking of you. Technically if an adult has sex with someone underage it is statutory rape.

Answer 31

Teen parenting hardly ever works out. It's really sad to see what happens to alot of the young familys. I know people look at you different but you have to ignore them and try to make it work. Be the small percentage that actually make it. If you pay attention to all the people who make fun of your position you will never make it. You are very very young but you are going to have to take responsiblility and grow up fast.

Answer 32

i think that every individual is different, it is a shame to see young parents out there though,there is so much in life to enjoy before you settle down, but it happens, i guess i dont really care as long as the child is loved and cared for

Answer 33

I just know that you stop most of your fun...now you have to find a baby sitter every time you want to do something...Rape?...I don't think so cause you opened your legs unless the other person forced you to do so...Girls younger than 16 need to use a condom or find a partner who can pull out before he cums...lol...but thats my point of view though...Welfare is alright..if you need help then you need help...

Answer 34

What matters is if you are happy. People can be mean and critical... My great grandmother was married at 16 and hainvg kids and it was expected back then. It is not the age.. it is society... are you happy... do you have alot to give your kid? I am a single mom that is pregnant and am in my 30's and I get critized sometimes too. Water off a ducks back... I am happy

Answer 35
