find me a 12-17 year old who is independent, lives on their own, has a job, pays rent, pays bills, knows how to cook, keeps their home clean and sanitary, does laundry, etc. etc.
im sorry but in reality there is no way a teenager can properly take care of a child on their own without having some help. a 12-17 year old can't even get a job making enough money to support themself and a child b/c they dont even have a high school diploma!! anyone who is a good teenage mother is getting help from somewhere - which thankgod these girls are getting help from their families but IMO if you need help to take care of your mistake you shouldnt be having one!
WOW!!!!
Mistake? Who said just because you are a young mother its a mistake?!
My daughter is ANYTHING but a mistake...
My mother as 16 when she gave birth to my brother and she was pregnant with me at 17.... She doesnt have a high school diploma but my parents owned their own house when my mother was 18... They rented an apt before that... hey took care of me and my brother, on their own... My father worked.... Yes they OWNED and paid all their bills....
We turned out great and we NEVER went without ANYTHING!
I think she meant that no 17 year would ever PLAN a pregnancy.
i actually know a few people who did get pregnant on purpose at 17 and 18 ...it does happen. i would have loved to be pregnant when i was around 20...but some things just arent ment to be
Some people actually do plan their prengnacies at that age, but most of the time they live on their own, with their boyfriends, pay their bills on their own, and have jobs.
