Teen pregnancy is very bad indeed. I think its sad that people in Canada who are given an education about teen prgnancy are still not understanding the risks. Not only are these people risking having a baby that they cant afford, but they are also risking transmissions of STDs.

Teen pregnancy

By saying 'teens should not get pregnant', all you're doing is generalizing an already widely-known belief. I'm on that side, but on the contrary, I am not against teen sex. I believe that if you're mature enough to handle the responsibility of being emotionally attatched AND physically attatched to another human being, then do what is right for YOU. But, I don't encourage teens to have unprotected sex because,
#1. You risk getting pregnant, or getting your partner pregnant.
#2. If, by chance, one of you does get pregnant, you may not have the money or the time to care for the baby, once born.
#3. If you are forced to give the baby up for adoption (by your choice, financial problems, etc), you and/or your partner will be emotionally scarred for life.
#4. If you chose to keep the baby, and choose to go on welfare, you are creating a burden for tax payers all around the country.
#5. Both you and your partner are most likely not mature enough to know how to care for the child, and will miss out on many opportunities in life.
It makes me sad to see so many teenagers in the US and Canada already having children at ages fourteen, fifteen, sixteen.. and not caring. It seems as though their naive brains are telling them that it's going to be easy. But, it's not. I really don't want teens to make the mistake, so I encourage everyone..even adults who don't want to have children just yet, to find the time to use condom, birth control, a diaphragm, ANYTHING to keep yourself from having a child, an unwanted child, a burden that will affect you for the rest of your life.

I think that when somebody cannot afford to have a baby or is not mature enough to take care of the baby, they should not get pregnant.
As a 16-year-old most of the girls (and guys!) do not have enough money and are still kids themselves....

I think its easy for people to say that teen pregnancy is wrong, but i feel that they shouldnt just make statements that the teens 'should not get pregnant'. Most incidents of teen pregnancy are accidents; no sixteen-year-old would actually want to have a baby. Teachers in schools should take more time to educate their students on the risks of teen pregnancy, and they should explain why it is wrong.

Teen pregnacy isn't needed. Everyone should know that it isn't good. I mean if you have the slightest feeling that your parents won't like it, then you should probably not do it. I mean the whole thing about teens is that you should be concentrated on your work and not on girls or boys. Being a teen doesn't mean you can go out and do anything that you want to do, it is a stage of life that is one of the most inportant. Whatever you do in your teen life, will reflect later on in life. If you bad grades, than later on your job opportunities won't be of a wide variety. This point of time is really inportant in which teens don't know. They should realize that they really should be careful. I am so against teen pregnacy and I wish I could do something to stop, but it isn't possible. Only those who are pregnaut teens can change.

I was not talking about the 'accidents'. There are a lot of fifteen- and sixteen-year-olds out there who really want to have a baby (often to compensate for a lack of love from their own parents). In these kinds of situation I say that teens should not get pregnant because they are not mature enough and often get pregnant for the wrong reasons.
The accidents are another story and I guess you are right when arguing that improved education is the key to changing that.

education is the only real method - teens are going to have sex. It doesn't matter how their parents or anyone else feels about it, their hormones are going off. Also their is nothing wrong with starting to learn about the emotional/physical aspects of what will become a lifelong practice.
I'm not a teen any more but I certainly learned early and well and with the right person. Relationships are complicated things.
Just be smart about it - you know, and don't lose your head to your heart.
Obviosly you shouldn't be having kids when you are a kid yourself.

Yeah it is,why do they wanna get pregnant in such a small age these ages like from 12 to 16 first thing they cant take care of the baby,second thing they cant effort money for the baby they dont even know how to handle a baby they. should finish their school and take their education and they can get a jop and have a life then they can think about getting married and thinking of having a baby.

teen pregnancy is bad. the teen would have to work really hard to get money to support the child and in some cases the teens parents aren't willing to help support the child financially. it would be hard for teen mothers to be able to finish school with a baby to look after, so whatever goals they had for the future could never happen.

I understand when you say that some teens should not get pregnant to compensate for lack of love from other family members, but we must understand that most people aren't that insecure. If we had a society where it was easier for people to seek help to their problems, then maybe they wouldnt go to such drastic measures to find attention or comfort.

From my experience working in a low-cost housing office, I unfortunately had alot of pregnant teens or young mothers coming to see if they could get low-cost housing because they couldn't afford their apartments or they were living with their parents in a one-room apartment, or something along those lines... pregnancy that young is very tough to deal with and from what I've seen, I'd recommend precautions! It's more important to wait until both parents are able to provide a stable life for the child.
