Honestly, I think some teens can be good parents. But I don’t support it, and I don’t think it’s a good idea either. Most teens that get pregnant are careless for not using protection, and are damaging their future. Because of being careless for not using protection, they’ll be careless parents too.
But if the teen realizes that they made a mistake, then thank god for alternative options. 1) Keep the baby, most teens rely on their parents to take care of their baby. Which is totally UNFAIR. 2) Adoption, painful to let your child go. 3) Abortion, for people who want to have a successful future. In my opinion, its either 1, or 2.
I think in my opinion the best option is not to have sex, so you won’t even get the risk of getting pregnant even with protection.

Generally no.
No offense to the teen parents out there who have done fantastic jobs raising their children, but a majority of teens are not mature enough, or financially secure to raise a baby.
A parent has a responsibility to be able to take care of the life he / she had a part in creating, and that means they MUST be able to provide and in this day and age, providing often means needing to have a damn good education.
A parent must know what they are in for, screaming in the night, changing their babies, feeding them, cleaning up after them, buying what they need – what they want when they get old enough to ask / demand things.
A teenager would find it very difficult to juggle that with school, and / or the social life they want at that age.
Like I said before thre are exceptions, some young parents have worked themselves to the bone to make sure their children are warm, fed and happy, and I applaud those kids, but my oppinion still stands that I feel parents should be older and ready.

Its not ideal. Its hard for adults to be parents. I dont think its necessarily “ok.” Im 22, i cant wait for things to be right to be a Mom, but I am a student, i work full time. Although i pay all of my own bills and have been with the love of my life for 7 years i STILL know that it isnt the right time. Teens have even less than i do to offer a child, so i cant imagine it being “ok.” Though it also doesnt mean that a teen should be condemned for being a parent, it just means that they have to step up and make things work for their child. Its hard living for someone else before you have even lived for yourself.

my mum got pregnant with me at 15 and i was born when she was 16, she has been an excellent mum to me for 19 years and i couldn’t have been blessed with a better mum she is like my best friend
me and her share the same opinion, if you get pregnant young, yeah ir’s not ideal but whats done is done and you should accept the responsibility and do the best job you can for at raising the child
so ideally teens being parents is not the best way to go about things but if they do a good job good luck to them.
It is hard to just decide yes or no on this as it depends on the individual teen/parent

It’s okay if they can fully handle themselves. I would hate to see another abortion in this world or another Dumpster baby because of teens cracking under the pressure of having a kid. If you really know you can’t handle it, but you don’t want to have an abortion, get it to an Orphanage or find a good family for it PLEASE.

Before our society became what it is now, 14 and 15 were consider adult. Boys were men then. The human body produces urges and desires to have children at those ages still, but with the way society has become its no longer a good choice. I believe teen parents were the original idea BEFORE our world became what it is today. Today very few teens are mature enough to raise a child and have the financial ability to either. In our society, the teen years have become the years of learning. To skip that to have a child, what would that teen parent be able to teach there child when it is a teen? Therefore, I do not agree. As natural as it may seem or have been, todays world does not allow for very many teens to provide properly for a child. If you have, like my mother done, I congratulate you. It could not have been easy. Especially if you didnt have to burden your parents with the unneeded stress of raising a child in which they did not chose to create….

I’m not going to say no. because it’s not not ‘okay’.
if i were 16, and i was having sex and being safe about it but got pregnant anyway, i would be a parent. and that’d be fine. as long as i actually took responsibilty and did whatever i could to make sure that my baby had everything it needed and i didnt just freeload and have everyone else watch my baby.
i dont think that you shouldn’t have sex if you’re not willing to be pregnant, that’s ridiculous to say. some people never want children, should they never have sex? exactly.
its unforuntate when teens do get pregnant because it obviously takes away from their youth, but it happens.
as long as people take responsibilty and do what’s ‘right’ for them, its okay.
lol
that’s my opinion

Yes its ok. What people are forgetting is that a girls body is ready to give birth at a very early age! Adults these days are more concerned about the girl being “emotionally” ready for sex. It depends on the girl when they’re ready for sex. And if they’re ready for it and don’t use protection then they only have themselves to blame for getting pregnant. Then again, some teen pregnancies are planned. Teens parents get bad publicity. Its a shame. Especially seeing as pregnancy is such a difficult thing. I think that it takes courage to be a teen parent; making the decision whether or not to keep the baby etc.

No I don’t think that it’s ok for teens to be parents and I had my daughter when I was 13, I made a mistake but she’s a healthy 17 year old now and a big part of my life. I am not saying that if my daughter or step-daughter got pregnant I would want they to get an abortion but I do think that most teens just are not ready for that yet.

No, it’s not the best idea.
Because you should in theory be able to support your children by yourself before you have them instead of relying on the government or your parents for help raising your child.
But I know some teenagers that have babies and some of them are really great parents.

I don’t recommend having a baby when you are a teen. I myself was a teenage mother, and even though I don’t regret having my baby, I do wish that I would have waited. Things were so much more difficult. I had to drop out of high school, get a job, find my own apartment, and become a 30 year old at 16. My friends all turned 18 and were going to the bar and traveling after high school before they went to college and I never got to do any of that. I missed out on the high school and college experience. If I could do it all over again, I would have waited until I was at least 25.

Maybe if you’re a married teen genius with a college degree and a great job. Otherwise you’ll just be stealing from the rest of us to indulge your fantasy of having a baby. Consider your child’s quality of life. Whether you like it or not it’s VERY expensive to give a kid a decent life. I don’t know many teenagers who can make that kind of money.

NOT AT ALL. All teen parents do is corrupt and influence early pregnancies and are not fit to be parents until they’re older and are more experienced with children in terms of wants and needs and how to lay down the law. SO in result TEEN PARENTS ARE NOT FIT TO BE REAL PARENTS UNTIL THE APPROPRIATE AGE

It depends…19 is still a teen. Are you financially stable? have a job? out of school already? Married or at least in a serious relationship? I was 19 but already married when I got pregnant. It all depends on the person. If the person is 15 or 16 then no.

i don’t think it ok for anyone to be parents. everybody is insane, and to give them another human life to care for is batshit. people should be raised by automated robots imo

No, they aren’t ready yet nor are they ready to even be having sex. Babies should have a good life, which means responsible adults as the parents, not some obnoxious teens who should just worry about school and have fun.

I personally don’t think it is directly immoral. Not at all.
I do think that it would be much better for the baby if they waited. It can sometimes ruin both of their lives.

No it is part of the reason for kids having kids. They didn’t learn from their parents. Most don’t understand what it takes to be a parent.

Considering an 18 year old is still a ‘teen’ then yes.
Tbh anyone over the age of 16 who can work and financially/emotionally provide for their child can do whatever they like.

not the wise decision but if it hapens i think late teens can handle the responibility but it will really ruin ther efuture plans as in good jobs and etc

Not really but it really shows responsibility when they get pregnant and decide to keep it instead of aborting it.

Depends on the situation, culturally and socially too.

Not unless you are talking 18 – 19 and already graduated high school.

no. kids shouldnt be raising kids. they leave the burdon the the grandparents anyway

No. I don’t think it’s okay for half of the adults having children to be parents.

nope, but then again some adults shouldnt even be parents

absolutely NOT

depends on the person if its a really mature 17 year old i guess thats okay but if its not then no

Children having children? Um no, that’s why they don’t let teenagers adopt lmao.

Teens aren’t ready to be parents yet.

Only if you dont want to go out with friends and have a teen life
No its stupid and i say shame on them
