I just thought I'd speak out about this because I'm 18 years old my friends range from 16 to 19 but a lot of my friends and people I know are 16 /17! And to be honest I'm shocked that girls now a days in this day and age were contraception is so easy to get there's even clinics were you go on the pill for free where I live but yet everyone is pregnant!

My friend became pregnant last year just before her 16th birthday she had contraception but chose not to use it! And since she got pregnant 11 more girls I know who are all under 18 have become pregnant! I just don't understand why they chose not to use contraception when it's highly available to them! And I'm even more shocked and plain well scared of what they all have to say about it I've seen comments to each other on MySpace saying well done with your news! and awh you're so lucky I can't wait to have a baby from a 16 yr old?!!

I'm the kind of person that won't glamorize pregnancy to you so when my other friend announced she was pregnant I said you're an idiot do you know how much your life is going to change? Her reply was it won't change all my friends will mind the baby when I want to go out and my boyfriend will too and I'll still be able to go out every night of the week! I had to laugh because as much as people say oh I'll mind the baby for you anytime they change their mind really quick after the baby is born!

My best friend who had her baby a few months ago thought all these things too and planned to go back to school but now the baby's here she realized it's not glamorous at all and she can't live the same life she used to! She never sees her friends no more only me! She can't go to school again until the baby grows up! The boyfriend is never around! She hasn't been out in a year and a half and cries her eyes out every time I see her! people make remarks on her gained weight and people call her a slut even though she's not! These are the kind of things pregnant teens have to put up with!

I know this isn't partially well written but I'm just saying girls, use contraception! Seriously you have college and so many adventures to look forward to before having children and guys even if the girl says it's ok you don't have to use a condom still do never leave it up for someone else to decide ! and I would also like to add I'm not putting down teen mothers at all because I don't agree with people looking down on them at all I'm just saying if you're going to have sex under 18 please use contraception.

I agree. Too many girls that are inmature are having kids. Further too many boys that are inmature are having kids as well. People who have no life experience, have no education to derive from, and no way to financially, psychologically and physically provide for a child. What happens to that child's perspective when daddy isn't around, and mommy is a basket case because she has no resources and can't support the child?

I see it everyday, and those kids end up making huge mistakes. - 6 months ago

I agree totally. Its not just the under18 group either, it's the women that you know are going to make awful parents that I can't stand, the immature women. Every time I go to a club or w/e, I'll see at least one girl there that's heavily pregnant. It's disgusting that not only is she risking serious probems with the child's health, but her friends aren't even trying to stop her! The NSPCC(they're the people in the UK that look into child abuse etc.) are going to have a LOT of work on their hands - 4 months ago

Teen pregnacy has gotten out of hand. So much of a shame! My last two years of high school they build along an addition to the school and the addition was a day care for the whole district cause 1/4 the population of woman had children. Sad. - 3 months ago

I agree too! What is wrong with these young girls wanting and having babies. When I went to school girls didn't have kids before the age of 21 and if they did they were classified as the town ****. Although I wouldn't go as far as calling these girls *****, but what are you thinking????? Sure babies are cute but they grow up to be rebellious monsters. Do these young girls realize that it cost 5 - 7 thousand dollars just for basic needs like formula diapers,clothing,ect. - 3 months ago

Many girls in their teens don't realise how much they have to look after a baby. They don't realise they have to change the nappies and clean them up. They might think a baby is good now but it isn't it makes life a lot harder. Buts its there choice. Most boyfriends wouldn't stick it out as they still want to pull. From what I see on the streets most teenagers seem to think their partner will stick through it chances are 1% might stick it but rest will go and they will be stuck raising on their own. - 2 months ago

My conclusion to this is what good did all our tax-paid sex education do? Evidently nothing. Bring back the arts and put more money into academics and eliminate sex education. Maybe that is the problem, not enough thinking involved in schools today. It is extremely disturbing. - A month ago

By the way, I love your article. You are right on the money with this one hun and glad you have the guts to put it the way it is without pacifying. - A month ago

I totally agree with you, it seems like so many girls were pregnant when I was in school, and what really surprised me is the fact that all of their friends were congratulating them and were so happy about it. being a mother is something that is supposed to happen during adulthood. there is so much that still needs to be learned after highschool and so much that can be experienced. but when a child is in the picture, many of those things are no longer accessible. - A month ago

I believe the school need to add a program into their circulmar on sex, teen pregnancy, safe sex techinques etc etc.. The teen pregnant rate is at it highest and its sad. I was a teen mom so I know the hardships, the struggle, these girls need to be more informed of these things. Not by a teacher, a parent, but someone who has experienced it..and teen mom herself...they need to live the life of a teen mom. Its not easy nor is it fun!! - 22 days ago
