Teen Pregnancy, Hollywood Style

I am going to take a guess, but didnt this 11 year old child come onto this site asking for good advice on what to do. I dont think she came here to get a tongue lashing from anyone. Granted, she's a child and should not be having a baby. Name calling and bad advice is not going to get her or her baby anywhere. Yes, I'll repeat it again, she should not have gotten pregnant, but come on, be sensible. Maybe, just maybe the idiots out there that kill their baby and dump it in the trash can was scared or ashamed, because no one was supportive? And NO, that is not a reason to kill a child/baby. There is NO reason for doing such a horrible thing. For anyone thinking of doing that, there is the SAFE-HAVEN LAW. PLEASE use that. A baby is a blessing whether the blessing is yours or someone else's. It is an innocent human life. Anyways, onto the 11 year old, my advice for you is to first tell your parents, or grandparents. Find a support system, see a doctor/ob-gyn, eat healthy, dont use drugs or drink (yes, i know you are 11, but in this society, things like that happen all the time). You and/or your parents can seek counselor to see what options you may have. There are options. Only you and/or your parents would know what is best for you at this time. Dont see your child as a mistake. It is not his/her mistake, it is yours and the baby's father. Good luck to you and your child. I hope you dont give up. (i just want to clarify my post before people just down my throat.... I am not supporting teen sex. Definitely NOT. But I dont want her to be scared and just hiding her pregnancy and throwing the baby in the dumpster like the other people out there. And YES, i believe women who kill their child/baby should be punished. THERE IS NO REASON FOR KILLING A INNOCENT CHILD. )

I'm sorry I meant to say right. Sorry for my incorrect typing.

Use a rubber, may your life go well. You are in need of mental help, and I dont know where you are coming up with assumaing I am not American, and an illegal alien. YOu have lots of hate and rage built up inside you, so instead of trying to advise this young child (who is probably afraid to post her now due to the negative, foul mouthed comments) I suggest you go back to literacy classes and seek psychiatric help. I am shocked that a couple of equally illiterate posters here seem to like you. Must all be in the same female gang.

Actually I'm a teen who hasn't had sex yet. I'm 15 and yes I have been pressured, but I think this arcticle is write. My parents really overprotective and they made sure they talk to me about sex and the cons of it. I also took health in the 8th grade. I think the media has a effect on our generation, but also the parents have go to want to help. I am the youngest of three children and my sister is 18 and she had a baby, so i also got a chance to watch her raise her baby and she not doing so well. I'm kinda happy they made this article because as young ladies we are being effect by the media.

If my mouth is a sewear yours is like a herpess victom. And personally you just annoyed me. Really sit here and just started all this *** and no if you KNEW how TO READ you would see that i want that SOB in the slammer, and first of all i like to say *** like that cause its funny and i really hope god makes your life better your arguing over this threw a blog? You must not have a life and personally who taught you how to TYph.? Ha ha anyways I have info for the 11 yr old of what she can do. ( DA IM DONE STFU AND LEAVE Thankkk you.)

Mountain... I agree we need to teach are children. Trust me as a Jehovah's Witness I believe it is improper for children to be having sex and yes it is something God gave to be pleasurable for marriage but are society is morally weak. So all in all the lack of parental supervion and us teaching are children is the main problem but when someone gets pregnant it is too late to debate all of this, the fact is now she needs to be taught how to care for her child and where she can get help.

THE MEDIA.. WANTS TO SELL, WANTS TO MAKE MONEY, BY THAT PROMOTES SEX, DRUGS, MONEY AND VIOLENCE...thats what sells!! and their company make looooads of money, and they worship white trash country girls( raised with little out-side Hollywood information)as america's number one Icons...., alienated, with no real appreciation of the money, time AND power ... and notion of a bigger. out-side-the-box vision of the world !!

DO YOU THINK THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO AMERICAN CULTURE?

"SO take that and suck on some balls."

You are truly an inspiration for this little eleven yr old rape victim who is on this site, viewing thse posts. What did I say to anger you? That the sixteen yr old who nailed a chld should go to jail? What have I said that you seem to be so hurt by. Telling someone to "suck some balls" explains why our country is an abject disaster. Is this how we talk to folks in debate? You sound like an educated sailor with a mouth like a sewer, and you are not helping this young child who has been through enough.

I am an 18 year old with a two year old son. I graduated the top ten percent of my class and was an officers in both National Honors Society and student government. During high school I took college classes and I am a licensed ceritified nuring assistant. (CNA) His father and work and the only government program we are on is for health insurance, and even with that we have a co-pay. His father and I raise him. NOT OUR PARENTS!!! We change him, dress him, feed him, wake up early with him, and go to bed early with him, and read to him all the time. He can already count to eleven, does some of the ABC's and does sign language, and is now potty training. Next year his father and I are both attending college next year. To all you teen moms, especially the single ones you can do it! Have faith and believe in yourselfs. Those people who degrade you have no idea what you are going through. One day their time will come to be judged, so just be there for your child and be the best parent you can be!

Hey is the young one on?? I got some places she can possibly call. For help.

As a Human being,I understand that people will make mistakes BUT the birth of a Child out of wed lock should NEVER be glamorized irrespective of who it is,especially a Teen.Although the Child had NO say in how or when they came into this World,we ALL should love,cherish, and respect it because WE did NOT have a choice either.The Spears Family,like so many other Families, has reacted to this with gleeful joy which is equivalent to ACCEPTING Children being born this way.No you DON'T condemn Teen Pregnancy or any out of Wedlock Child birth but you also DON'T encourage it by GLAMORIZING it.

cynthiabrooks: I respect your opinion BUT this "little Girls" seems to be NOT going through anything.She has appeared very HAPPY throughout it all.They High moral and spiritual principles on which this Nation was founded has all but been DESTROYED.Lastly---YES Teens are GOING to have sexual relations but they SHOULD BE discouraged NOT to and DON'T get pregnant."NOW" I KNOW they are going to do it ANYWAY but the point is TEACH them it's WRONG and NOT glory in it just simply take it in stride like any other mistake.And it IS a mistake.

use a rubber-I am a white AMerican, born and raised here. Why did you assume I am from somewhre else? Probably cuz most Americans today think like you. you are functionally illiterate, and I was pissed at you for judging this girl and said the sixteen year old loser should go to jail. What have I said that has gotten your pink panties in a bunch? Please, learn to write a proper English sentence and improve your grammatical skills. Unfortuantely, today, folks like you are who will be our future. The country gets dumber and dumber.

DA.......Your intials for "DA", must be Dumbass. Im pretty sure your not from this country and why dont you read what you put you must have graduated from Yale? Maybe your major was English? And you probably are an illegal alien. And I bet your wanted for the FBI for molesting and 7 yr old.? And the school I got to and still attend,honey I made a straight A's in english. Your talking a bunch of *** but you know what we all know that you cant typh. And I bet you would be a horrible mother.

It is not ok for a teenager to get pregnant and it is a simple thing to prevent. I started using birth control at 16 years old and never had an accidental pregnancy. It is not that hard to get pills, a shot, a patch, or at least use a condom. You can even get these things for free. If you do not have the means to support your child you should not have one. Society should not have to pay for your inability tio use birth control. Too many girls have several children and have never worked a day in their lives. I work hard and have to see a lot of my money go toward paying for children and families that are not my own. Parents and schools should promote the use of birth control. Also, there are too many kids on here talking about marriage as teenagers. Chances are the marriage will not work out. You need to experience life and enjoy your youth before settling into that kind of commitment.

Mountain... The fact is no child regardless of the age of the parents asked to be born. Even children born to older mothers go through bad situations. The fact of the matter is we all at any age know how to show love and affection. And no mother regardless of age starts out great. We all have to be taught and any girl can learn to be a great mother and care for her children. In my mind that's a lot better than abortion. I'm not glamorizing the situation but like I said It's not the end of the world. She still has hope. usearubber just ignoreda1973 you both obviuosly have a difference of opinion and neither of you name calling lends and help to the situation or further streghthens your cause. Safer sex is good but it doesn't always work we have to educate our children but if it happens we also need to work through it.

Stop making judgments and arguing. This is nonproductive. There are productive ways to discuss and debate. Mature adults out there can help lead this girl with valuable advice. She obviously needs to receive medical care and counseling.

I am an 18 year old girl with a two year old son. I graduated in the top ten percent of my class was an officer in National Honor Society all three years I was a part of the group, and I was involved in government. While going to high school I took college classes, and I am a licensed Cerified Nursing Assistant.(CNA) The father of my son and I are both attending college next year and have been together for over four years. Our son is the best thing that ever happened to us and WE have raised him. NOT OUT PARENTS!!!! We wake up early, change poopy diapers, feed him, teach him sign language, how to count to ten, and read to him all the time. If we do ever get the chance to spend time with friends our son is right there with us. Being a teen mom may not be the ideal situation but it is possible. To all those teens moms, especially the single ones there is hope. And you can do it!
