Teen Pregnancy, Hollywood Style

So many responsilbe stable married couples would love to have kids, yet their are forced to support 14 yr olds trough welfare. The taxpayers are raising these kids, so let us be real and encourage adoption for those teens who cannot survive on their own. If the family is chronically welfare dependent, let ther support herself and see the real world or adopt. No fourteen yr old should be a legally guardian of an infant.

Let's be honest. I'm was a teen mother and earlier than most. By 12yrs old I was having sex and by 14 I had my first son. I had a supportive family and school. I graduated a yr early from High School and went onto college to get my Bachelors, which I copmpleted in May 2005. I'm now 24 I have a good paying full time job in the science industry and own my own car and house. I am married and have 4 kids. So honestly it doesn't matter how old you are just what you decide to do with the choices you've made. I love my kids and although we've had rough times I wouldn't change them. And a matter a fact in todays world you can be 14, 24, or 64 and times will be hard. I feel that society plays a big role in the failure of some teen mothers. If we stop treating this like I major disaster that will destroy a girls life and just be supportive and make them feel like they can make it then maybe more of us would. If any teen mother is reading this please don't let anyone put you down. Your wonderful, beautiful, and are just as capable as any women at any age to care for your child. Please there are resources out there to help which women of all ages use. Work hard and take care of the babies.

i am a 11 year old girl who is havein a baby for a 16 year boy and i dont no wat to do??????????????????????????

Being a teenage mother myself at 15, this is something that I would not gloss over and make seem as something easy to do. I was fortunate that the father did stay with me but at the cost of being kicked out of the house and not supported by my parents. I had to make my own way in life. The way my mother saw it is that if I was grown up enough to make a baby, then I was grown up enough to be on my own. And although I have had countless blessings in my life that included eventually marrying my son's father, getting my GED, Having a great, well paying job with benefits, having my daughter at 18 and owning my first house at 21, I've also suffered through hard times. Things like, not having enough money for formula and diapers, almost loosing the house I owned to foreclosere, and that same marriage failing due to us growing apart and his infidelity 12 years into the relationship are things that are not shown on TV. But through it all I give thaks to my parents way of thinking because due to them, I am finally where I am today.... In a new marriage, with great children (16 & 12 now), with a beautiful house and that same great job. I believe parents need to be tough as mine. Many others I knew who were teen mothers had parents who completely embraced and supported them, taking care of expenses and taking care of the baby so that their daughter could continue partying away. Those are the girls that ended up with 3 or 4 kids with different fathers. Why should they stop doing what they want to do if mom will always be there for them?
In conclusion, I think cases like Jamie-Lynne are not relistic. She's an actress who is financially well off. Her child will never go without. And movies like JUNO are worse because they only show the immediate consequences. Lets see JUNO ten years later when that "romantic" boyfriend leaves her for a younger woman after they've had 2 or 3 more kids. Show the real hardship that teen pregnancy can lead to.

Most teen moms, studies show, are form single parent father absent homes. The cycle repeats itself, although there are exceptions to the rule. Most girls have no male role models in their lives, and I dont care who gets mad-we need to start connecting sex with permanent relationships and stop raising our kids to think than anything they do sexually is ok, birth control or not. This is not birth control failure, this is moral failure and many of these women and girls are doing this on purpose. I dont know if they think they will alwasys have connections to the guys they love by having a kid, but women and men are different with respect to sex, though we lie to them and tell them they aree not. Females get desperately emotional after having sex, and that may explain that though we have better sex ed and birth contorl availabilty and free rubbers, the unmarried teen birthrate is much higher than other generations when premarital teen sex was socially discouraged. Stop lying to girls about the realities of sex, and stop insisting that they are just "hormone driven" like their male counterparts.

cynthiabrooks is a complete loosing slut and should have her bchild removed from her and given to responsible adults to raise. She is exactly what is wrong with America today exactly. Its like smoking and saying i feel fine as your arteries stick clog unseen and eventually you die. This out of control female is a stain on this nation's conscience and she does not even know it. A 14 year old good Mom! Incredible. She should write a book called Selfishness Revealed!
