If you want to throw your life away to raise children instead of pursuing a career then be my guest.
My view is early to late 20's is career time and if you want kids late 20's early 30's is the best time.

I'd have to say that I agree with Rellik San...
It's not like it's hard to get pregnant as a teen, but in all honestly why rush it? Show some self control and just wait...
If you have children you need to be responsible for them and even if you think you're ready for it in your teens you're putting more weight and more responsiblity on yourself than is necesary.
If you plan on getting a good job or going to school or giving your kid a good life you should wait until your late 20's. If you intend on going to college you should finish college too because taking care of your roommate can be as much of a problem as having a kid... imagine both. =P

Some teens can give their kid a good as life as an older person's parents.

If by that you mean love and a kool fun person to hang out, i'm not going to say that isn't possible for a teen to give their kid just as good a life as an older person. and I don't think you have to be a certain age to have children. The thing is maturity and being able to be responsible usually do come with age and those are a definite need if you plan on raising a child. It's a lot more than babysitting.
How is a teenager going to provide for the child? with their full time job and their spouse to help them?
When you have a kid they see everything you do and copy most of it. You become a huge influence on their life.
It's better just to wait until you're actually ready to have children and can provide for them.

i think it is a double standard saying teens are irresponsible. i know teens who are more responsible than most adults. maturity doesnt come with age; it comes with experiance.

I really don't think teens should be parents, seeing as quite a few of them are no where near being mature.
If their pregnancy was an accident that shows everyone that they don't have responsibility. If they think it's so hard to put on a condom or go on birth control, raising a child seems almost out of the question.

I have a friend that is pregnant. I feel so bad for her. It's so much to take on. She's scared out of her mind. And she's mad at herself. I can't say I really blame her for that...

again... people can use birth control and get pregnant. you use birth control and get accidentally pregnant, or raped, you are irresponsible now... news to me.

I think people are getting a bit off topic here... time for me to do the shooting down you so eloquently bash about...

1. the subject is teen pregnancy, not premarital sex and kids out of wedlock

What about divorce? 75% of canadians have a divorce, and it effects the kids just as much, if not more as having parents not married, and teens are getting married and not ALL religions and people believe in marraige and wish to throw their life away (to a man who will more than likely beat them and steal all their money and belongings.)
As for b*****d, theyll be called it anyways, do you know how many people throw that term around carelessly? chances are they will be called a b*****d if male regardless of married parents.

2. Birth control

I dont think you ignoramuses realize this, but no birth control is 100% effective, and therefore things happen. It does not make someone irresponsible for getting pregnant in their teen years.

3. Times change

Sure back when we were a predominantly christian and jewish religion based society, marraige started, this was only to keep track of people for the government; make it easier for taxes and such. But for Judiasm it was to keep track of family to prevent inbred children.
Then back in the pioneer ages, it was people 14 years old who started bearing children, it was fine for the times.

1. Teen sex does have to do with premarital sex and kids out of wedlock...its not off topic.
2. We never said birth control is 100% but its a hella lot better than not. Obviously it helps to prevent pregnancy or they wouldnt have it out on the market.
3. What are you talking about? The US is still a Christian based society. Have you not taken political science? (Probably not old enough) It was ok to bare (not as in RAWR bear) children at 14 back in pioneer days because the life expectancy back then was in the 30s which today Im going to guess and say 80s?
4. Your made up word in #2 was highly lame.
5. Your arguements are lame as well.

what erin said
and to add to her #2
it is their responsibility, it's their choice to fool around and they also made the choice to accept the consequences (mostly the girl).
and number 3....marriage had nothing to do with government, or taxes
taxing didn't really come around till the middle ages, ever heard of the domesday book?
and there was a time before taxes, what about then? peopel still got married

Yeah, marraige was mostly for what it really is. A bonding between two people and pretty much any point of time where humans are smart enough to be civilized it was involved with religion....not government. The mayan government could care less if you are having a child, they have a budding civilization to run.

a 'bonding between two people' i fail to see this, since in some areas of the world, men can marry up to 8 women or more, while women can get killed if they even think about it. these are still 'civilized' convorsation.

i don't thin khe married all those people at once
so it'd stil lbe between 2 people, cause the wives aren't amrried ot each other at the same time
anyways, where are you getting your information from, i'm not saying it's wrong i was just wondering  

[Eri Luvs You]

Wow. You're too obsessive.
You're pretty lame trying to justify yourself because your pregnant.
You should just deal with it.
Your arguements are still pretty sad and don't have much to back them up.
If you're wanting us to say its perfectly fine to be pregnant as a teen then I guess you wont get it here. We all think its lame and not a good thing.
I pity you.  

[walk like thunder]

Teenage pregnancy is just a plain no-no.
Unfortunately, its rampant in my family, so I know what I'm talking about.
My mom had me when she was 15. She left school with no qualifications and no life experience, having only dated one guy, and she lacked any common sense. She didn't even know what contraception was. She went on to have my brothers. And who looked after them while she went back to college? Why me of course. Getting pregnant as a teenager, not to be drastic, but it would ruin your life, as for the child, well I'm a mistake and I'm only too aware of it, and I'm also the second parent. It gives a mixed up relationship, because of the slight age difference.
And eep, my 18 year old cousin is pregnant, meaning I'm the last of about twelve girls in my family (cousins and whatnot) not pregnant...there's hope for me though!

since everyone else is givin' ya the low down
i will do it simply like that
this guild:
open-minded and wiling to listen to your part
but we're stubborn in our ideas and opinions, and they're hard to change
even though it seems like we gang up on people, we kind of do, but we'll still gang up on each other.
and don't be scared, we don't normally give people flak unless it's over the top stupid. or break the rules cause we're tired of that happening.

anyways,
a great friend of mine is pregnant and she says it's hard and wish it didn't happen. but when you do risj yourself getting pregnant out of marriage, thing of the kid. do you want it to be called a b*****d all the time? do you know the looks he'll get from people knowing it was out of wedlock? its' really not worth it
an hour's pleasure is a lifetime worth of regret

yeah... um that hours pleasure at my mothers wedding is her life time of regret...

you're retarded and need to get over yourself, jsut cause your mother had a bad time doesn't mean you will  

[Vaknar21]

Just simple: Using of the brain. Its good and bad at the same time for pregnancy.

Whatever....sorry.

I see that as being ok because your parents are/were probably old enough to start a family.
Some people decide not to get married and thats their thing but as long as they both know they have the bond and agreement thats awesome.
I wouldnt call you a b*****d.

My dad was 18 & my mom was 21.
And my mom & dad both openly admit I was a mistake.
