Is Being a Teen and Pregnant Wrong

Tagged:  •  

Ok so what do you guys think? Is being a single teen Mother who is all alone in this world just her and her baby a bad thing? I have several thoughts on this....First of all I come from the idea of Premarital sex being wrong and that this is not what God has intended to happen. However events inspire to not always make this the case... Hopefully a single teen mother will not be all alone and there will be a boyfriend and hopefully very soon in the future a husband too. This again is only the best case scenario... So what happens and the boyfriend or the father of this child decides to up and leave... Then the mother to be has some very important decisions to make... Does she keep the baby and try her hardest, surrounded by family members and friends, to raise her child. Does she give birth to the child but then give him or her up for adoption because she feels that in doing so she is offering her child a better life then what she ever could? Or does she decide to abort the child because she sees no other way?

No, but in the society we live in today, and how it operates, it's not the best of circumstances.

True---I totally agree that is happens it just that I believe strongly that its not the way God intended it to be so that there are consequences to all actions no matter how small they may be...

But what about all the women who have premarital sex and DON'T get pregnant and DON'T get STDs and are SATISFIED with themselves and not just using it to make themselves feel better? Premarital sex doesn't always have these negative consequences.

It depends on the girl. Some girls are strong enough to be teen moms, and others simply aren't. I think I could have handled it if I was every placed in that scenario, but who knows. I admire those that stick with it.

Anytime a teen is pregnant, things get complicated and tough. In no way is it wrong, it's just hard to deal with because suddenly a teenage is thrown into the life of adulthood. It all depends on how much she is willing to sacrifice, and how much the father will sacrifice, and how much the family will help. It can be done, and it has been done, but the mother must think about the life she wants to live. Does she want to give up school to become a full time mom? Does she want to give up her social life and put off her goals until she can again focus on herself? Discussing the options with her family, and the father is the best first course of action.

And, if she decides to abort she must also be prepared to deal with the emotional aftermath. It's not great to have an abortion, but sometimes it's the only option and if the family is supportive and loving, they will help her through the ordeal. It's completely up to the mother.

Finally, premarital sex doesn't always have bad aftermath, like someone said above. Accidents happen whether it's premarital sex or not.

I come from a small town where is seems like 1/2 of my school is either pregnant or have already had a baby. I know girls that have had abortions, given their babies up for adoption, kept the baby and graduated, or kept the baby and dropped. Sometimes having a baby when your in high school can harm you, if your not strong enough. But sometimes it doesnt. One example would be one of my good friends, her dad died when we were in middle school, her boyfriend was a jerk, her mom wasnt a good mom, and her brother is scary(seriously)! she had a baby sophomore year and it has helped her so much! shes graduating in our top 10!

yes it is because if your a teen and you are pregnant, good luck with the baby. You are going to have less freedom and you can't go out to parties like you use to. And plus u may never finish School

That doesn't make it wrong, just difficult. I've known a four girls who were pregnant in highschool. They all finished and didn't mind missing the parties.

How does a lack of freedom (which every mother faces) correspond with wrongness?

Plus, not every girl goes out to parties every weekend, and if they are committed enough and have a good support system, there is absolutely no reason for them to not finish school. There are plenty of mothers that are able to have jobs and children, so there shouldn't be any reason for a teen to not be able to complete school with a child.

Not everyone goes to parties in high school, and anyone who doesn't finish school because of a child just doesn't want to bad enough.

America isn't a country conducive to teenage pregnancy, but my mother did fine and is stronger because of it. it really depends on the person and their support system, as well as their willingness to make a good life for their child and themselves. It wouldn't be so hard if people would stop being so prejudiced against those who have children out of wedlock. People will do what they will with their own lives.

If God didn't intend for it to happen, and he is in control of the world, then why did he allow it to happen? If he can send people to eternal damnation, why can't he stop someone from becoming pregnant?

Because that would make too much sense.
