answers 0:Ok I am honestly NOT a bad person, I don't have a lack of good character or whatever... I just REALLY want a baby... and i know I'm like 20 and young and should be having fun or whatever but... I'm not so yeah. I don't... hate teen parents, I just think they get a little too much credit, which is fine I guess but I guess I kind of just wish I would have gotten pregnant at 15 or 16, I know its not a good thing to wish on yourself but.. I'm 20 now so its not like it'll happen lol and I could still have an unexpected pregnancy but the problem with that now is I probably won't get nearly as much help (or sympathy) as I would get if I was younger because as an adult you should "know these things" like my parents would say. Anyways I just want to... not b! e such a ***** lol...Show moreanswers 1:At 15 or 16, the average teenager still has a lot to learn about the world, and about controlling impulses and desires. If a 15-year-old gets pregnant, she'll have to spend some time out of school due to delivery, and it may delay or end her high school career, depriving her of a high school diploma. There are precious few jobs available to anyone without a high school diploma. Also, a 15-year-old will have zero or very little work experience and little to no marketable job skills, plus that 15-year-old will only be able to work certain hours to comply with federal labor laws, which makes them less attractive to potential employers.An average 20-year-old has a high school diploma, some college classes under her belt, and usually a year or two of work experience. Maturity levels at 15 and at 20 are very, very different. At 20, you should be about halfway through a four-year degree, or you could have completed a career technical trainin! g program for nursing, medical assisting, dental hygienist, et! c.I would argue that the average 15-year-old needs a lot more help than the average 20-year-old when facing an unexpected pregnancy. But why are you so resentful? Why do you feel like you should get lots of "help and sympathy"? You're legally an adult, with a high school diploma and the means to support a child, so why should you be entitled to lots of help from Mommy and Daddy? And forget sympathy, sister. No one truly feels a whole lot of sympathy for teen mothers. I would know, my mother had me at 17 and both of us were subjected to rude comments for quite a few years. More often than not, the average John Q Public will condemn a teen mother before feeling sympathetic toward her. If you are feeling "resentful" because you feel like you wouldn't get help raising a baby...either abstain from sex or use two methods of birth control (i.e. the pill and condoms with a spermicidal lubricant). And yes, a 20-year-old absolutely should know better than a 15-year-old....answers 2:I! think that you should step back and not listen to YOUR perception of this so-called credit that you think teen mom's get. The important thing is, even if they get this credit you speak of, this credit does not outweigh:1. The end of life as they know it2 Finishing high school is ridiculously challenging. 3. For most, college is simply out of the question.4. The boy is often out of the picture. Young mom's are often lonely (because most eligible bachelors don't a girl with "baggage" or a ready made family)5. Teens don't have the skills to take care of themselves and suddenly, they have to take care of themselves and a baby.6. They are often ostracized by family. Relationships with parents and friends are never the same. Some end up homeless because the family refuse to deal with the shame that comes to the family.I highly recommend that you do not get pregnant. I recommend that you look for ways to boost your self esteem. There is something that you can do (activities, s! ocial, work, volunteering) that can steer you away from your misguided ! sense of what will make you whole. At minimum, sit down and talk to a teen mom at length. She'll give you the real story....answers 3:my mom had me when she was 19 and she was married when she was married at 18 but you know the most love you will get from anyone is from your husband if your married so i suggest get married have a good job and the have children but olny with your husband because teen pregnancy is terrible and you think there's more love well your DEAD WRONGanswers 4:Omg Issues! Your so far off it hey, Teen mums dont get it easy at all, they get looked down on judged and people assume your just a sh!t mother who dumps her kids off on other people and goes out. You did not miss out on much trust me. Its not what MTV makes it out to beanswers 5:I am 15 with a 6 month old baby. I know that i am mature for my age, and a good mother. Teen moms don't necessarily get more credit. We get looked down on for being so young, we get talked about. It all depends on the! support you have. With me, the father of the baby and I are engaged and getting married when I turn 16. It is better to have help, which i was fortunate enough to have. If you want to have a baby, then go ahead, but make sure you will have a man in the picture. And me being a teen, my parents expect me to do it on my own. Of course they help me if i ask, but i never do because i like knowing that i can do everything for my son on my own with his dad. It doesn't matter how old you are when you become a parent if you are a good parent.Good luck!...answers 6:Saw your question and just had to share. My sister bought Pregnancy Without Pounds for me when I learned I was expecting. I have to admit my initial reaction was Wow, is she trying to say I'm fat?! But as I started the program, I realized there was some great stuff. It answered my questions about nutrition, cravings (Yes. Some of them were real and others were because my food intake was off for the day.), and exercis! es I could safely do for me and my baby. Now I have a beautiful baby b! oy and my pre-pregnancy weight just a few months after delivery. It worked for me. Who knows? It may work for you, too. It's worth taking a look.Blessings...answers 7:Wow. Teen moms are judged left and right, and dont get much support.answers 8:"but the problem with that now is I probably won't get nearly as much help (or sympathy)"save that money u wouldve used for a kid and use it on a doctor. have a kid because u will take care of it and love it....sometimes u dont get help.answers 9:Teen moms dont get more help i am a teen mom. Im 19 and pregnant with my second (no not wh ore its with the same guy and we got married) and i get looked down on so much. I dont get to live a nomal life. I have a full time job, i wasnt able to finish school when my friends did, i have to pay my own bills, i cant go out,ect. Im not complaining because i love my kids buts its not fair to say we get more help or sympathy its the complete opposite. even when i walk in the store people give m! e the nastiest looks because how young i look. its hard and i have done it all MYSELF with no help at all from anyone!...
