I honestly don't understand how ppl are normalizing teen pregnancy

[@princessseraphina8990]

I know right? I am so glad that my teachers told me about the consequences of getting pregnant as a teen. Teenage pregnancy is a problem. Young girls shouldn't have to worry about being mothers. They should focus on doing what they love, focusing on their passions like art and science and get married and pregnant as fully-developed adults with good jobs and stable incomes. It happened to a girl I knew from church. She wanted to get an abortion but her parents said no and helped raise the baby and she went on to write CXC exams and graduate. I don't know what she does right now. All I know is that I was at her wedding
I'm 21 and in university and glad that I am not pregnant

[@itsthatmuffin_4114]

I agree with both of y’all
Now this generation is getting worser
Kids being supported to have kids

[@jaxthewolf4572]

It's normal but problematic. The word normal means common.

The problem is that people support teen pregnancy. I dont know what has gotten into minds of these people. First make your career and then bicker about wanting to be a pregnant teen. This is getting ridiculous

[@killerbunny7627]

yeah like why do people support so much yes shaming is wrong imo but teenage pregnancy is not a positive thing teens are to young to be having children(i think i contridicted myself)

[@kilwom]

Exactly, having children at such a young age is such a way to ruin the course of your life

[@maekelgriego5613]

there is a huge difference of support teen pregnancy and supporting teens that are pregnant

[@undead_6662]

I’m 15 and I’ve planned on already having a baby with my bf (17) in a year and 7 months. We’ve been thinking and talking about having a baby for awhile I will still attend school and move in with my bf and his family. I won’t switch goes and he will drive me 30 minutes for me to go to school and while he goes to work Our baby will be at home taken care of by his mom and she will Pick me up from school and I’ll take care of my child until my bf comes home. And we also plan on waiting 3-4 years During that time Save money and get our own place, move out, and Have another child if we’re ready again.

[@anthonynosike]

Please dont have the baby now. Just wait a little bit longer. You too want to be financially stable to better help your future child and family.

[@carolelandry6793]

I was a teenager when I got pregnant. It was the right time for me to get pregnant. Teenagers are not too young to get pregnant. They are woman.

[@ree7542]

Lol shut up

[@futurevoid4261]

This mindset is what messes up the world physically and emotionally
A teen is not fully developed therefore their pregnancies destroy their bodies and there own child's development so it destroys human beings

[@Kakakaka-ri2kr]

I agree.
But the problem is that MOST pregnant teens along with their husbands doesn't have good income to raise their to-be-family. Most would just rely on their parents irresponsibly. Other than that, I'm not against it.
If they can raise their children at that age responsibly, I'd even respect them.

[@carolelandry6793]

A lot of them do raise there children responsibly at that age

[@kynchan3332]

Why not if you can support your child without depending on the state or parents. The others who need state and parents to raise their child are deadbeats.

[@cymonka3492]

I support teen pregnancy!!! It has so many negative stigma that are out right false, teen pregnancy empowerment, teen pregnancy is beautiful, PERIODT!!!!!!

[@syedisman2247]

I’m guessing ur one of those teens who are brainwashed by this generation. 🤦‍♂️
