I don't see the problem. Now I do see if they are still in high school it being a problem unless they are almost through. Other than that I don't see the problem. I'm 18 and pregnant and damn proud of it myself. I don't care what other people think. I've wanted a baby since I don't know how long. I finished school and got married and now I finally get the chancce to have one of my own.

because teenagers are not mature enough to handle that sot of responsibility. they have a lot of growing up to do before trying to bring another life into the world. the vast majority of teenagers are not financially stable enough support a child. most will end up relying on state funding or family charity. most teen couples do not stay together, so the resulting children grow up in single parent households. the mothers often times are unable to graduate high school, let alone college because the increased responsibility (not embarassment) of having a child. teen mothers often don't get the chance to enjoy the type of life that their peers do and either grow frustrated and resentful of their child or they leave their child in the care of some other adult and develop a neglectful relationship. some teen girls don't take good enough care of themselves and drink and do drugs while pregnant. some are not fully physically developed and have a hard time carrying a healthy baby to term.

i could probably go on, but i think you get the idea.

was this a serious question, or are you just trolling around?

(also, judging by your username, it seems as if you are dealing with some psychological issues with eating. a baby will not solve those problems. a baby will not make you thin, quite the opposite. your future child will only suffer the consequences of your issues, so please be careful not to fuck up another life. thanks.)

ok EDIT: after taking a look at your blog, you are most definitely not a candidate for mother of the year. you already potentially conceived this child while intoxicated, with a FUCK BUDDY, not someone you've been in a serious relationship with. i worry for your child, i really sincerely do. you have a lot of growing up to do. please consider all your options before taking it upon yourself to screw up some kids life. there are couples out there who would love to adopt and give it a loving home. kids like you are what makes me fear for future generations. yes, there were always teen pregnancies, but to be that fucking PROUD about being an irresponsible unready parent disgusts me. you do realise that this is a childs life you're talking about? not your life, an innocent childs life? ok, rant over.

I had a baby at 17 and as fun and awesome and cute as you think it's going to be.  It's not.  Believe me.

@Alliebearsies@xanga - it says in her blog she got pregnant by her "fuck buddy," i don't consider that to be a good situation.

As a former teen mother, it was embarrassing to be pregnant. It was completely unplanned and it was not something I proudly flaunted. I embraced it, counted my blessings for having a healthy baby and did a really good job being a mother so young, but I made sure not to even possibly have another until I was married and in a better financial situation. I made it by working my butt off and not relying on welfare, WIC or any other type of assistance. I went to college, and I didn't do anything other than work, go to school and care for my child until I met my now husband who enabled me to live a lifestyle that I haven't seen another teen mom live.

The problem with teen pregnancy is that girls frequently use it as a way to gain control in a relationship, to try to "keep" a partner around, or get pregnant intentionally for all the wrong reasons. It is completely draining to society because "most" teen mothers rely on some type of government assistance, which is already stretched far beyond it's limit as it is. Education levels go down for teen mom's and their children statistically, in addition to these children being more likely to have behavior problems, problems in school, and even being statistically more likely to be a teen parent themselves.


I was a very lucky teen mom, who had a boatload of family support, and who lucked out in meeting a wonderful man to adopt my child and create a beautiful home with. As I said before, I seem to be the rarity, and while I WAS a teen mother, I do not encourage teen pregnancy. Very rarely does it have a positive outcome for the child. I'm so blessed to have a healthy happy 5 year old today who has lived an upperclass life with plenty of love, attention, and financial security.


I'm not trying to be discouraging, but rarely is this situation something to "flaunt" and be so "happy" about. I am so blessed to have my daughter, and I loved her from the first moment I saw her on the ultrasound screen, and am so happy that things worked out the way they did. But I don't know many teen moms to succeed.


Sometimes reality is a hard slap in the face. Pregnancy is the easy part, what follows is a difficult journey that takes a very strong individual. It's not rainbows and butterflies. It's going to be a lot of hard work. Best of luck to you.

I think it's wonderful that you're excited to be pregnant, but please make sure to take care of yourself.  Longing to be thin does not work when your body is busy creating another life; eat well and be healthy, or both you and the baby will suffer.

@soyeahthatswhathappened@xanga - Oh I do believe you were the first one who got quote en quote "pissy", but believe me, I will :3. kthnxbai.
