i dont get it either. bad eductaion is all I can assume.
it's rediculous...I mean, how can a 14 year old support themselves?? Without social support etc? An accident is an accident but purposely getting pregnant and relying on state support is rediculous and not something to be proud of. In fact it's 100% chavvy and stupid. And is the reason the UK has sooooooooo many social problems....there are too many idiots. (Dont get me wrong, I AM british and love the placeĻ!!)
It's children having children and i hold their own parents responsible.
Gosh I'm ranty today!! You can tell it's the end of the week.
Plus I'm hungry..best eat before I go on any more....
Christ when I was 14 I was too busy being a kid to think about having my own! I wasn't sexually active until I was 18, and then I was too excited about doing things like getting my own flat and going off to University!
I'll be 24 in a week, and I still feel young to be having a baby. I was in the middle of joining up to the Armed Forces and I feel like I've had to put my whole life on hold.
I watched a program on teenage Mums the other week, and one of them was very vocal in saying that anyone can be a good Mum, whether they are 14 or 40. That's all very well and good, but YOU aren't the one providing for YOUR child.
Yeah, I don't understand. I wasn't sexually active either until 20. And my parents were always really upfront about it. When the topic of teens getting preggo would come up, they would say "We love you. We've raised our children, you will raise yours. So don't think you can can get preggo and expect us to raise the child. We will emotionally support you and help you find ways of doing it yourself, but you ARE doing it yourself." So I was too terrified to even have sex, and risk an "accident," before I felt somewhat confident about my ability to support the child.
i was a virgin till i was 16 then got married and had 2 kids then got divorced at 19 but have no regrets only that he was a knob but bloody 14 all thats mental parents need to teach there kids propper
I've watched a few shows such as Maury and Oprah where there have been young teens trying to have a baby. In turn, these teens have to take care of a baby for a day and after they have, they all have said that they no longer want one.
But in the end, what the teens were craving were attention and love from their parents.
I think this is what happens in the majority of cases. They are craving unconditional love and are not getting it from parents so they think a baby will give them this feeling.
I am forever watching young girls on Maury who once are given a baby to look after for a while, buck up their ideas and realise its best to wait.
I must admit i wanted a baby when i was about 14 but the thing about wanting love is right, i was so hurt by not having a dad around i felt a baby would compensate, now i thank my lucky stars that i threw myself into a career and waited until i was at least a bit older

i dont get that one bit...each to their own? They cant even legally have sex! arrest them I say! .
hand them one of those crying weeing fake babies and scare them. silly children they can have had no life experience - what can they teach a baby? This is a daft discussion, clearly they're children who dont know what they are doing.
....oooh looks like my rantyness hasnt dispursed yet!
TTC at 14 is utterly rediculous. I knew what it was about at 14 watching my sister struggle with her son that she had at 16 and I knew I wanted children but not at that age. Like others have said about feeling young now, I'm 22 married and feel like even people I know look down on me because of my age (I look quite young for my age aswell). This annoys me so much because you have all these stupid little girls going out trying to get pregnant and not being able to look after that child or themselves when its born and then you see people on here that have been trying for months or even years to conceive who are perfectly able to care for themselves and give a child the best life. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
God help me....this thread
Stop talking about it lol, my daughter is coming up 11 soon and to think in 2 or 3 more years she would even contemplate trying to get pregnant doesn't bear thinking about. These are CHILDREN themselves, I got pregnant at 19 and thought I was too young to handle that responsibility, I had to grow up pretty fast though. If only they knew how drastically their lives were going to change. I think you have to be a pretty un-selfish person to have children because once they come along THEY are the priority not you, your whole life changes and your time is no longer your own, I don't know about you ladies but even going to the toilet when mine were toddlers was a task worthy of Army intervention.
In a way I feel for these girls because they can't really have any clue about what lies in store for them.
