Why do teens want to be pregnant?

Why do teens want to be preganant? I mean come on! Dont you people want to finish living your life before you have to take care of a child!!! What is so special bout having a kid now when you have your whole life a head of u? Im 13 and having a kid is no where in my near future. You really need to wait untill your a least 18! I no its not everyone but some of these people are just plain stupid getting preganant at such a young age. So really why does everyone want to get perganat???

Answer #1

some people want to get pregnant so they wont be an old mom and some think by having a kid would make them adults

Answer #2

you know, I couldn’t agree more. I’m 18, and still waiting. most people lon’t agree with my opinion, but here it goes: you should wait until you are married to have a child. that way, you are in a committed relationship and you don’t have to worry about being alone.

Answer #3

I’m not really a teen, but most think I am… I was 21 when I got pregnant, and couldn’t be happier. My parents aren’t too happy, but my mom can’t say anything because she was married and had two kids by 19. My older brother and I are 11 months apart. I don’t know her reason for it, but for me I always wanted kids and knew that I should have them young. I know I won’t be alive past 50, so it’s best to have them much younger.

Answer #4

they just want attention. even good attention is bad attention. or maybe its just a way to make their boyfriend stay with them. so its strictly for selfish reasons.

Answer #5

To tell you the truth I don’t know why teens like me want a child. I will admit for a few days now I have been thinking about what my life would be like with a child and it has a lot of pros and cons but I have decided its worth the wait. And Howell I know a few people do use it as a way to keep there boyfriend but the way I look at it thats a dumb idea most of the time cause then they just deny the child. So your probley right :P

Answer #6

It’s a trend. Sad but true. It seems like a lot of young girls are getting pregnant together, and it’s “cool.” It’s sad to see them throw away their lives and their childhood so soon, talk to any teen mom out there, they will say they love their kids to death, but they wish they would have waited.

Answer #7

I’m 15 and da same problem wit mi boo she is 15 I used no protection and she pregnant my parents don’t know niether do hers

Answer #8

melissab A 21 year old and a 14/15 year old are a completely different story though. When you are 21 you legally an adult, you can drive, you can hold down a steady and well paid job, you could have finished college already. It’s a huge difference. I understand the not wanting to be old when you have kids, but 21 is not old at all. I was 22 when I had my son. I’m glad that we waited until then.

Answer #9
