-Age Of Pregnancy

[pumpkin]

-What do you think is an acceptable age of pregnancy? And Why?
Truefully i believe a good age to start having children is 25. I personally had my daughter when i was 19 and i wouldn't change it for the world. but in having my daughter so young i missed out on a lot of things i wanted to do in life at that time. Granted they are only pushed back a few years if i wanted to do them but still. Once you are set money wise, emotionally and physiclly then i say go ahead and have a kid.

- What relationship is suitable to bring a baby into? And Why?
a relations where people just have casual sex or a fling and the person gets pregnant is no kind of relationship to bring a baby into. I say if the couple loves eachother and has been together for quite some time. then that relationship would be alright. It doesn't matter of the sexual orintation of the couple either. as long as the couple lvoes eachother and will bring the child up in a loving enviroment then it is okay.
- Is it right to be pregnant while still in your teen years? And Why? yes and no. SOme teens are more mature then others. Personally it all depends on the actually person it's self bringing the child into the world if they are mature enough to think about having a child in a rational way then sure

- Anything else related. And Why?
I do have one more thing to add. Me and my fiancee were together 2 years before we found out that our little katie was comming into the world. and honestly even if one parents is ready doens't always mean that the other one is ready to have a child. So think about that as well. Both people in the relationship have to be ready ot have a child before one is brought in

If teen includes 18 and 19, then yes. Before that, then for obvious reasons, no. Personally, I don't even think 18 and 19 should be allowed.

You're not old enough to drink, but you can have a kid. What? That makes no sense. Parents should be allowed to have that surgical birth control put in to stop you from having children before the age of 18.

I think 22 is a good age to start having children if you are mature enough. It changes from person to person though. I have met some 20 year olds who are great moms and I have met 30 year olds that I wouldn't trust to babysit my cat for the weekend.

Single or Married, as long as its a loving environment it doesn't matter.

When deciding to have kids remember that there will always be two parents and to make sure the other person is responsible enough for the situation, even if you think you are ready.

-What do you think is an acceptable age of pregnancy? And Why?
It's hard to put an exact age on what's acceptable of pregnancy. I think it depends on the individual and where they are at in their life (level of maturity, financial status, etc.)

- What relationship is suitable to bring a baby into? And Why?
I don't think one necessarily needs to be in a relationship to raise a baby. Although I do think it a huge benefit for the child to have a healthy relationship with both the mother and the father. Any loving, committed, respectful relationship sounds good to me.

- Is it right to be pregnant while still in your teen years? And Why?
I think it all depends on the individual and if they can handle the responsibility of raising the child in a stable, loving home.

- Anything else related. And Why?
Don't ever have a child to "save" a relationship!

I dont agree with teens bringing a baby into the world and taking car eof it while they are still being raised, cared for, and taught them selves. That, however, does not insinuate that that girl would be a bad mother. there is a girl in my first period who was 9 months pregnant- a few weeks ago, she vanished from school. Just Monday, though, she brought in her beautiful baby boy to visit the teacher- then she was going to go home and take care of her son. The boy's name is Louie- named after the girl's grandfather. I can tell she's going to be a good mother- very caring.

Of course, to be pregnant as a teen is very... careless. No matter how ready you think you are- if you do not have a home to raise it in, a job to feed them with, and time to be there for them, then I dont agree with it. That is no say, however, on the person's parenting skills. Im just waiting till i get into the nursing field, save up lots of money, have a stable home to have, married for 3 years, and whathaveyou till I bring a child into the world.

to be honest...i dont think age is an issue..some people are truely more 'mature' than others, it totally depends on the person


- What relationship is suitable to bring a baby into?

personally i wouldnt want children unless i was in a stable relationship...preferably after being married a couple of years or so


- Is it right to be pregnant while still in your teen years?


i find that question kind of strange..i think the views on this change from country to country..even between countys really..
where i live...i am thought of as 'very odd' im 23...and not married..no kids that is pretty rare..i guess its rather old fashioned here...things still revolve around...school till 16, then guys go to work, n girls get married and have kids.

thats happened to my parents (mum was 17 dad 18 when married)..my 3 eldest sisters were all born before my mum was 21. (tho i admit...2 of them are twins lol)

my 3 sisters all were married with kids before age 19, and most of my friends have kids..so...yeah...thats how it is here

everyones happy..no angry divorcee's with messed up kids that i know of..(lol) guess we're pretty simple here

i really think it depends on the 'parents' themselves

-What do you think is an acceptable age of pregnancy? And Why?

I think that the person should be about older than her teens, and about the age of at least thirty, to have a child, because she will be financially sound and out of school, high school and collage. She will also have a job by the age of thirty or so, and that she will be able to know she can take care of it



- What relationship is suitable to bring a baby into? And Why?

A really healthy one where the father and mother both love each other, because I believe that the child will do better if the child is in a loving and caring enviornment than a horrible one

- Is it right to be pregnant while still in your teen years? And Why?

No it is not, becuase you will probably have to drop out of school your parents will not or might not accept that you are pregnant, and might not want to help you take care of the child, and your parents might not want you to even keep the child


- Anything else related. And Why?

Make sure that if you do have a child, do not be a horrible mother or parent, and do not be hurtful to it, because then they will grow up worse than they should of been

Well that depends on a lot of things...

I think it's a great idea to have kids when you're young, but on the other hand, having a baby without the necessary funds makes life very difficult - unless you have a wonderful family that is willing to help you out with the child while you get the rest of your life in gear. If I could, I would have a baby today, but my circumstance certainly does not allow for it. I don't want to have a kid when I'm 30... that's way too old That kid would never have any fun lol I'd be a stodgy, boring adult - what kid likes that?

If you don't have money, and you don't have supportive family... well, that sucks for you - don't have a baby.

A relationship with the father/mother isn't really necessary, imo. Many people are raised quite well without two parents, or with two parents of the same sex.

[Vixie]

to be i'd say the age of pregnancy should be 18 and over, because under 18's aint fully cabable of looking after a baby(no job and still in school).

[vampirebox]

[Vixie]

that is true, but everyone finds their own way of getting through it, my sister is pregnant and she doesnt work but her and boyfriend seem to be getting along fine.. so i guess its pretty much down to the person(or people) who are involved.. i don't know pregnancy is all strange and new to me o_o

-What do you think is an acceptable age of pregnancy? And Why?

I guess around 18 and older because your out of high school and no longer dependent on your parents.

- What relationship is suitable to bring a baby into? And Why?

Marriage. Because if you can't wait to have sex with someone, then you obviously don't love them enought to wait.

- Is it right to be pregnant while still in your teen years? And Why?

I'm not saying it's wrong either, but I just think it's better to be married first. and most people aren't married when they are still teens. <.< >.>

[vampirebox]

I never really saw the point in being married before having children... I mean, unless we're talking from a legal standpoint - then by all means, it makes sense (for the woman, not so much for the man).

What do you think is an acceptable age of pregnancy? And Why?

Probably somewhere in your 20's. That way, you probably have a job and can afford to have a child. And you would be through school already, so you wouldn't have to worry about finishing your education.

What relationship is suitable to bring a baby into? And Why?

A casual one, if it's just about sex then that is just well.. dumb. If it is just about having a good time, then the child isn't going to grow up very well.. :/ Kind of hard to explain, but the child wouldn't be growing up in a very "loving" family

Is it right to be pregnant while still in your teen years? And Why?

Well I guess it kind of depends on the situation, but generally no. Teens usually are not ready for a child and still need to finish up school. They are also still dependent on their parents, so they have to help out with their kids baby too. Which doesn't seem fair. It was a two for one deal or anything. Usually, if teens are pregnant, they aren't mature enough to wait and can't financially take care of the child.
