^^^^ Hmm, it may just be me. But I'm pretty sure there are still a lot of people on this thread that don't understand your opinion...
I think he just wanted to get out of this thread before he was burned. With him, it wasn't really a debate since his opinion was not even supported by facts.
-Less than 1/3 of teens who become pregnant before age 18 complete high school. -Sons of teen mothers are more likely to end up in jail. -Nearly 80% of the fathers of babies born to teen mothers do not marry their babies' mothers. On average, these absent fathers pay less than $800 annually for child support. -Teen pregnancy costs the United States over $7 billion annually. -The United States has the highest rates of teen pregnancy and births in the industrialized world. -Teen mothers are more likely to have serious problems during pregnancy and childbirth.

tempo DO NOT post more than twice on a subject. Your spamming this so please stop. Also I think homosexuality is wrong, I have a story to tell about homosexuality, I'm sure everyone has heard of a website called Myyearbook.com right? Well that website also has a forum and someone posted a topic that said lesbian and bisexual girls only, which really caught my attention because society is turning away from being straight, it is basically wrong to be straight anymore, and it scares me, I mean what is going to happen to the human race in twenty years? is everyone going to be homosexual? Most likely not, but you never know. Now onto abortion, I also believe it is wrong, because everyone always had to have their babies when that got pregnant when abortion didn't exist I think it is the adult/teenagers fault if they decide to go out and have sexual intercourse and end up getting pregnant I think abortion is. 1. Inhumane 2. Disgusting 3. Not natural 4. Evil I also think anyone that gets an abortion should be charged for murder for killing an innocent human being. I'm sure you have all heard the statement that a fetus is not conscious of anything and not "technically" living, well yes, this is all very true, but the thing is, this so called unimportant "creature" or whatever you would like to call it, is what me and you and every human being on this planet were at one point, the abortion clinics and the people that have gotten abortions are just looking for excuses to make money off of killing. It disgusts me.
This topic has gone to hell in a hand basket. Teen pregnancy is really hard, tempo. I had a good friend of mine get pregnant her last year in high school and she had a tough time trying to manage. So instead of talking numbers and turning people's plight into a statistic, why not talk about what can be done to prevent it? We have all seen those numbers in one way or another, they are pointless and obviously aren't scaring kids enough to stop having sex. Humans of all age will never stop having sex, so let's just make is safer.
dude thats true you can never stop a 17 year odl or a barley jr high school kid they have a curiostiy to wat if feels like like.i agree with wee man we should make sex a safer thing,.
i think the parents would be slightly at fault bc. they could educate their kids about pre-maritial sex, but the kids still make their own choices. Plus, parents are not the only mentors for kids. I think the ratio would be more like parents/mentors .1%, kids 99.9%.
Teens at what age? 18? 15? Well both are too inmature. I dont dare to have a baby until i get a stable,and good-paying work. I doubt someone can support a son/daughter when shes in the highschool/university.
Ahhh, there's where you are wrong, Alguzara. Age doesn't always relate to maturity. I bet someone who is 18 could take care of a child. Never said it would be easy, but she could if the father has a good education, and a well-paying job.
And to that last statement, it really depends on what she is doing. If she's just taking care of the baby, than the father should be taking care of the family as a whol, etc.
See, this is what's wrong with everyone who thinks they can talk about teen pregnancies. Every one of you people think that teenagers are immature and can not handle responsibility, but there are teenagers that work two jobs to help pay the rent for their family who are more mature than the people in their twenties and thirties. Age does not dictate maturity, trust me. When you have your first baby, you know nothing of what to expect, you can read all the books, watch all the movies, and take all the classes you want, you are not going to be ready. So don't even try to mention maturity, Alguzara, it is a baseless defense. You go ahead and have a "stable" life, you will still wind up clueless.
