At my school, 15% of the girls are knocked up. At the Junior High, 20% of the girls are knocked up. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!!!??!!Why are there so many teenage girls getting pregnant?
It is a fact that 90% of teenage girls want to get pregnant.Why are there so many teenage girls getting pregnant?
Because they are taught just not to do it with ';abstinence only'; education.
Read some of the questions here from teenagers. They have NO IDEA about contraceptives. They believe what they ';hear'; from their friends.
Actually, the policy put into effect by the Bush administration is that public schools lost their funding if they taught about contraceptives.
So for the last 8 years, we have been teaching abstinence only sex education. And the teen pregnancy rate has risen for the first time in 15 years.
Abstinence only education does not work. Teenagers have sex. They need to know about contraceptives.
I read something somewhere that teaching abstinence only is like teaching kids to NEVER cross the street and then expecting them to know to look both ways ';somehow';. If we don't teach them, they don't know. It's as simple as that.
I honestly think that girls are just not told what the consequences of having unprotected sex are. As you can see from lots of posts on here, many guys and girls don't even know what it takes to get pregnant. They're asking questions like, ';Can dry humping with my boyfriend with only underwear make me get pregnant';. WTF? I think parents need to sit down with their children and have a serious talk. I have a little girl and dread having to have that discussion with her, but I want her to know the facts. I really want her to wait, but I do want her to know that if she wants to have sex, there are safe ways to do it.
It's because they teach safe sex and hand out condoms in schools now. Back when they DIDN'T teach safe sex the pregnancy and STD rates were actually lower. Oh...and the media almost glorifies teen parents. When you teach kids it's okay to have sex all the time it starts a snowball effect. Sure most of them start out using condoms. But then they get lazy and once turns into several times. Several times turns into either an STD or a baby. I know of a girl who this happened to except she ended up with HIV. Her and her family were all for teaching safe sex...until safe sex turned into unsafe sex. She now regrets ever having sex in the first place. Had she waited until she was married she wouldn't be dying of AIDS now and leaving a little boy here.
As old fashioned as it sounds there is a reason that people wait until they're married. Does that make you cool in high school? Maybe, maybe not. But one thing you won't have is an STD and a handful of regrets about having meaningless sex with several partners.
Think before you act, it very well could save your life.
I dont know the american school system, so i dont know how old these girls are your talking about, but i'm guessing between 14 and 17?
I do think that pregnancy below the age of 16 is shocking, obviously its always gonna happen and no one can stop it happening no matter how hard you try, how clued up about sex and pregnancy and contraception the kids are and how strict their parents are. Its still gonna happen. But i do have a kind of moral, if thats what it could be called? In UK the legal age for sex is 16. So if they say yes, your 16 now you can have sex, why are they surprised or upset at the number or 16 17 18 19 yearolds who are pregnant? If the legal age of sex is 16, so is the legal age of a mother technically. So if the government dont like it, they should change it.
I personally support teenage pregnancy IF it was an accident, getting pregnant when your still in school on purpose is STUPID, completley irrisponsible, selfish thing to do. But if its an accident, they girls should be supported for bracing their mistakes and trying to do the best they possibly can do and be the best mothers and fathers they can be. Its not easy on them, they will lose out on so much, they'll not be able to be a kid anymore, and all their time and every single penny will go on that baby, but they already know that, and i commend them for bracing it, because i swear that i know some teenage mothers that are 50000 times better than some 20, 30 and 40 year old mothers.
Im a teenager, but i wouldnt really class myself as one, i feel much older, way more mature than that, and often people dont even think im any younger than 25 hrough the way i act and look.
My sister is 27, and she had a daughter named Hallie, who was not planned and she was to be a single mother. She decided she wanted her job more than her baby, and actually sometimes left a 4 month old Hallie in the house on her own for up to 3 or 4 hours just soshe could work, completley ignored her and everything. I was newly 18 at the time i took Hallie in, i was living with my boyfriend, now fiance, in our 1 bedroomed flat and i quit my job to look after her fulltime, with her mother moving down to london through the week and just coming to see hallie and take her to her home on weekends, not a good life for Hallie.
When hallie was 7 months old i ended up looking after her full time, and my sister didnt come back to pick her up.
Im now 19, and Hallie is nearly 1 and a half. Shes still living with us full time, and we are in the process of adopting her as our own. I have also in that time went through my first pregnancy and given birth 6 days ago to baby Willow, Hallies little sister.
So if anyone says a teen cant handle beign a parent. I'll assure you they can, and sometimes, they do a hell of a better job than older parents. Especially better than my 27 year old stupid sister, who has now permanantly moved to Paris, France.
If you read all that, your amazing haha.
And maybe, instead ofcoming on the internet to basically grief these girls and also evidently the boys, maybe you could try giving them a bit of support or even just a person to chat to. Because i can bet you they'll get seriously lonely in the upcoming months when people start going places without them coz they dont want to 'drag alongn the preggo'.

theyre emotionally disturbed and they are immature.along with the hype of having babies so young...they only see the good stuff from it.if they only knew what parenting and all the stuff actually involved for
18 + years every single day,every waking minute of thier lives..maybe theyd think twice.it's called uneducated. they should make a mommy camp for kids that they go to for a month.and have to deal with reality.let them learn from it,before they decide to make a bad choice.
Its a normal thing for a girl to want to have a baby, yes at that age too. Quite often the 'urge' comes on and people just follow the urge.
Atypically girls start getting the 'urge' at a young age, if they have strong role models, those urges slip past unnoticed.
It's clearly because they aren't waiting until they're married to have sex.
And it's almost like they forget... sex= possible pregnancy
Plus, some of them think that condoms work 100% of the time, which they don't. Especially if they're old or kept in a glove compartment or wallet.
And I'm sure that they think that ';pulling out'; prevents pregnancy... which it definitely does not.
because they forget that unprotected sex causes pregnancy. for some reason they believe that they wont get pregnant. and most think that the pull out method will protect them from pregnancy. and they are too young to understand the consequences of sex.
Because they are irresponsible children who just want to get off and then end up getting pregnant and pawning their child, their responsibility, off on their parents. And their parents are stupid enough to take on their kid's responsibility!
these days everyone wants to look cool and being a teenage mother makes them think than now that there not all innocent guys will like them more. but also now a days there are lots of teenagers getting rapped at clubs and all around.
It's just the fruits of the women's liberation. Very liberating, eh?
bad parenting....slutty girls
Its the new trend, didn't you know. I don't know. Maybe because they are just selfish.
its all they see on tv and parents are to laxed these days. Need better guidance.
people must forget what a CONDOM is!?!?!
ok for one who are you too judge my friends all have children from ages18-21 and they are fantastic mothers who love their children so before u go and judge maybe you should think hey maybe just maybe some of them are different not as immature as i think they are im 18 yrs old and me and my partner have been together for 3 yrs and we have been ttc and i have already raised my little brother from when he was a newborn so i believe i would make a great mother..........so dont judge until you do know WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON !!!

What are the symptoms of teenage pregnancy?
im 15, and i believe im pregnant.. are symptoms different in teenagers then in older women ?What are the symptoms of teenage pregnancy?
Everyone is different when it comes to pregnancy and their symptoms differ.
But, all women, regardless of age, have the same general characteristics.
Good luck?What are the symptoms of teenage pregnancy?
LOL. I think they are the same across the board.
Actually there are a few..
being a teenager (13-19 years old).
feeling guilty about having sex ';just once'; and thinking that the 'pull out method' should have worked.
-inadequate sexual education.
-your are scared to tell your parents. but then again its probably their lack of parenting that led to this in the first place, so what is there to be scared of. just tell them.
-spelling the word pregnet or pregnate (at least you got this one right).
Same as any other pregnancy.
Just because you're a teen, doesn't mean you should post in the teen section. Most teens are not/have not been pregnant; thus, they don't know/care. Please ask in the pregnancy section, where you'll likely get *much* better answers.

What is the most common teenage age to get pregnant?(I am looking for one specific answer)8{D?
I just really would like to know.8{DWhat is the most common teenage age to get pregnant?(I am looking for one specific answer)8{D?
i would say the most common age that teens are getting pregnant would be around 16 i happen to hear alot of 16 year olds saying im pregnant more so than othersWhat is the most common teenage age to get pregnant?(I am looking for one specific answer)8{D?
there's no specific age for a teen to get pregnant, it just happens.
I was 14 years old when I got pregnant but 4 months later I sadly miscarried.
so I would go with a guess here and say 15-16 years old
well most peoplele get pregnant after unprotected sex. There is no certian age. Just after the yeenager has had a period. That is just common sence. lol
There isnt only ONE answer. I would say the most commom is 16. However nowdays it happens to 13-19 yr olds.
From all the people i talk to and groups i help with i would say 15
16

Good Luck!

Is this depression or normal teenage stuff?
I think I might be depressed...But Im not sure. I feel a sense of pointlessness in everything I do, I self-harm, I just feel so alone, Ive thought about suicide more than once in the last month, its hard to explain I just feel no need for anything. What should I do? I was thinking of calling Childline but Im scared in case they think Im some stupid teenager....Im 14 btw.Is this depression or normal teenage stuff?
Calling Childline is probably a great idea. To me, that sounds like it could be depression, I'm not an expert though I have plenty of personal experience.
You're not alone, there are other people that go through this. 14 year olds can get depression. I think it's best to call Childline or talk to your gp or something - and the sooner the better. It sounds to me like you're in a bit of a dangerous place, with self harm and suicidal thoughts, along with the other feelings.
Don't keep it to yourself.Is this depression or normal teenage stuff?
You should congratulate yourself that you are in that age group (Adolescence) which has been named by the psychologists as the ';Golden years of Life';. It is also called as the years of ';Stress and Strain'; in which the individual is neither a child nor an adult and is often misunderstood.You are also going through this stage where all your efforts are not been rightly acknowledged, even by your parents also. Parents are also going through a stage which is also stressful i.e.';To be a parent of a Teenager';.They are also full of mixed feeling where they are also confused how to see you, either as a child or as an adult.
This phase is very crucial in everyone's life. This is not Depression. What you need to do is try to take up activities which are your hobbies, read story books which are for this age group in which you may identify yourself with certain characters in the story, teach someone who is in need, love and care your pet and see the reciprocation,etc.. As you had no right to come in this world, you also have no right to go from this world.This right is only with the Supreme Power ';THE ALMIGHTY';.Live life to the full because you have taken birth as a Human Being, the SUPERIOR birth, after going through the cycle of birth and death in 84 lakh lives.Enjoy it!
dont wait okay? feeling like that isnt normal. get help and get better okay. being your age isnt easy. it was 23 years ago for me but i remember it well. depression isnt something to play with.
dont even think about suicide. i am sure there are people who care about you and if you do that you arent killing you, you will kill them inside okay?
i've been through marriage, divorce, custody battle and many other trying times. this life aint gonna whip me, and it aint gonna whip you either okay? be strong, get help. help is out there okay?
i hope i have been able to help a little.
Please seek help!!! Talk with a friend or guidance councilor doctor or somebody in your church. For goodness sake do not ignore the problem. If nothing else call a help hotline. I went through my teenage years experiencing what you are talking about and thought it was normal. Not realizing how much of life I was missing because of this disease. Now that I am dealing with the issue instead of ignoring it life is better.
You should reach out for help especially since you're 14 and it's hard to tell at that age what is normal hormones, etc. messing with you and what's real depression or anxiety. Have you tried talking with your parents about this? If you haven't, please do. Let them know how you're feeling and if they're anything like I was when my 14 year old came to me for the same reasons, they will take you to a doctor where you can get some help or even just talk. Sometimes being able to vent about stuff can help alot too.
Consult a friend because all you need ios someone to pour all your feelings to. and when you do that, it will all be fine and it will feel good.

Where can me and my teenage friends hang out in winter as a group?
its pretty cold weather (not freezing but you know, too cold for beaches or parks obviously) we want to hang out as a big group and have like a group party gathering thing but we dont know where to have it and no ones parents would appreciate it being at their house. also we are all 15-16 so cannot get into pubs or anything but we dont wanna go to movies or shopping or anything we would prefer to just have a space to gather in where we can all talk and everything.
what can we do?Where can me and my teenage friends hang out in winter as a group?
The mall, maybe. You don't have to shop there. Lots of people just walk around and ';window shop';.. and talk (:
Or bowling, or go to an arcade.
An ice skating rink- I know it's cold, but it has to be warmer than outside, right?
Oh, and of course any rec or youth center. Like the YMCA.Where can me and my teenage friends hang out in winter as a group?
I hate that. The mall gets boring and so do movies. Try something like bowling, YMCA, find a recreational center, go to a church (even if you don't believe in religion, churches are very welcome to visitors), or look up some activities to join in. Some craft thing or a cooking class. It will keep you all together, you will have fun, and it will be warm :)
Have you tried bowling?

i'm turning 14. i needs party ideas. my birthday is in winter, so it has to be indoors. a house party would be okay, but i think a party at an actual place would be more fun. i like original things, stuff people haven't already done. i'm planning on inviting no more than 15 girls and guys. please be DETAILED in your answer. THANK YOU :)Have any ideas for a teenage birthday party during winter?
Dance party. Hire a DJ and rock out :] Nothing is more fun than just dancing and chillin with your friends. Also, search some cool games possibly (but not to many). Truth or Dare is always fun :]Have any ideas for a teenage birthday party during winter?
Maybe you could have an oscar/grammy's birthday party. You could have your dad and his friend dress in suits and sunglasses and act like security guards. You could have a poll and give awards away like the real grammy's and oscar's. You could have your mom and her friend be reporters from a new's station. You could have youe sibling's or somebody else be papporozi. You should decorate with red and gold because those are the prime colors. You could also make a stage where people can do karoke. You could also have a place where people can make their own stars. You know those you put on the sidewalk. Maybe that could be like the walkway of fame. You coukd also have a hall of fame if you want. It would also be cool if you got a roll of red carpet where each person can walk down it. For food you can make sandwhiches in the shape of stars.
Just make it a ';Winter Wonderland'; theme. You could go ice skating and look into some places in your area that serve sushi or something (think fish as in penguins. It mixes with the 'cold' theme). Or you could just do a mass movie and games marathon, with everything revolving around snow, cold, and winter. For refreshment ideas, use hot chocolate, cider, etc. You could even have a time set aside to make marshmallow snowmen. Just make it creative and everyone should have fun.
it would be really cool if you and your friends all went sledding for a while at a really good hill. then after bring everyone back to your house or a party place that you can rent out. it could be all decorated in winter wonderland things and you could give them dinner/lunch and dance. when it is time to go give them all a candy cane and thank them for coming. p.s. if you want you could make them donate a toy for toys for tots and your party could help give some kids get holiday gifts that can not afford it. thanks Happy Birthday and i hope your birthday is amazing :]]
well i'd suggest what my friend did. She had a co-ed party as well. She just had a different ';game'; with different reality tv showes lol. She had survivor, oh and fear factor. Pretty much have a whole bunch of scarves( different colors) and then there on different teams. Then like w/ fear factor the different teams make a ';concoction'; for the other team(s) to try and see which team could handle it the most.
idk. be creative. have movie themes... it all depends on what you and your friends like. have a rockband competiton lol.
mostly just have fun w/ it. if your happy thats what matters
good luck

Maybe a stay-at-home party? You can make those little fake cocktails and decorate nicely. The magazine seventeen usually has good ideas.
Options:
- Go out to eat (To your favorite restaurant)
- Go to a movie
- You and your friends go out for mani and pedis
- Go on a shopping spree with you and your friends (What I did)
Maybe Just go see a movie? Ice skating or just watch movies that boys and girls would enjoy like The Dark Knight or even Mean Girls.
How about a Winter Wonderland Themed party? That would be really cute and you could be creative about it.
what i would do is like go out to see a movie and then go out to eat and just hangout at thee mall or something
