What is your opinion on teenage mothers?

[Hi...]

It depends at what age..My sister got pregnant with her 1st at 15/16,she had part time job,was with someone who was making £300 a week,if not more and she did a great job..I don't think it's fair how people make out they have kids just for the benefits,they don't live a life of luxury as it's just enough to live by,and of course the majority of the money goes on the baby.most people out there can't even afford to rent a flat by themselves even by working full time(Especially with the disgusting prices it is for rent nowadays).Even people that work STILL get some form of benefit against their wages anyway!

I think that its none of our buisness, everyone calls them slags or whoars but what if they were raped? what if its legal in that country? we don't know everything, we know what they look like not there story we can't judge.

Honestly? I don't feel the slightest bit of sympathy purely because the vast majority bring it on themselves, and don't know what the hell they are doing. The vast majority are careless when it comes to sex and contraception and couldnt give a crap. That said, accidents happen and i do know of a few that have used protection but they still got pregnant.

Most teen mums don't provide enough for their child. I know many that have gotten pregnant and left school at just 16- ok, i can understand why, but they have went on not to care for their child but go out all day and night not giving a crap about the child they created! This one girl at my school got pregnant at 14, she left school at 15. The baby is about 10 months old. All i see on her facebook is about her going out partying. Don't get me wrong, she loves the child dearly but she does nothing to care for it. Her mum pays for everything, she's not with the father anymore and she is still being careless with sex.

I don't "pick on" teen mums, my mum got pregnant at 19 with my older sister, but in this day and age teenagers need to be more careful. Too many teenagers sleep with the first guy they see, and they don't think contraception matters!

Are they an advantage? No, they're not. What kind of example does it show to those younger than them? I get to push around a pram all day, then go out partying at night. Most have no idea of how much responsibility a child is.

That said, not all teen mums are irresponsible. I know that and i am not trying to say they are. I know there are mums that care for their child and make major sacrifices for them. Hats off to the ones that do, if you're going to be a teen mum that's the way to do it. Those are the exception, but i can bet at least 90% of teen mums don't give a crap.

YOU created the life, YOU should take care of it.
