Why do family members get humiliated if their daughter is pregnant with out marriage and she's young?

is it like scaring your family and shaming them all life?

Answer #1

Well my parents have always saaid cause it’ll make them look like they don’t take care of me annd that I’m jus a wild daughter who’s parents don’t teach her morals and how to “respect” herself nnnd her body yaddaa yaddddaa yadaa..but in my opinion I think pregnancy actually makes a girl HAVE to mature…:o

Answer #2

Or not. You’ve obviously never worked at DCF where they remove lots of kids. What a surprise, many of these are young mothers. Who had kids (sometimes multiple kids) and never matured.

Answer #3

Because it gives off that the girl didn’t have much of an upbringing. That their parents didn’t teach them morals and respect, or govern them enough and simply let them run free. As well, the girl is seen as an irresponsible child, who is carrying another child, parents feel that people will be putting the blame on them for allowing a child to get pregnant. This is especially prominent in families that follow older traditions and religious families, the humiliation is a lot worst, daughters are disowned, or beat and such. In addition, I sure as hell do not agree that it FORCES a girl to be more mature. Pregnant girls SHOULD mature faster, for the sake of the baby, but does it always happen? No. I have a distant friend who was a teen parent, she is entirely unfit to be a mother. She is no where near mature, puts herself first before the baby, spends her and the baby’s father’s money on dr.ugs, alcohol and partying, has run off on the father and the children many times.

Answer #4

If your parents are religious it is viewed as if they failed as parents to teach your morals since you had sex before marriage. If your parents are secular it is viewed as if they failed to teach you to be practical and use birth control when you are too young to have the resources to adequately raise a child. In any case, your getting pregnant does reflect badly on them as parents. As long as I can remember and long before I had any idea what my parents were talking about they told me, “if you can’t be good, be careful; if you can’t be careful, be good.” They were telling me that if I was going to have sex to use birth control and if I didn’t have birth control don’t have sex.

Answer #5

I think that it is because it makes her parents/family members look like the didn’t watch her as a child or than they dont know how to raise a child :)

Answer #6

to me its kind of indecent to me.

Answer #7

They Are Embarassed Basically. My Dad Didnt Talk To Me Until I Was 6 Months Pregnant With My Son When I Was 17 And Whenever Someone Asked About Me He’d Say “No, Shes Not Pregnant.” They Arent Mad At You They Are Prolly Mad At Themselves Because They Think They Did Something Wrong With Raising Their Child.
