Teen pregnancies are not new in the world. So why do you think there is still such a taboo about it? It's been happening for years, yet girls are still looked down upon by some people in society.

I have been there, so I certainly don't judge :) Just because you are older, doesn't make you a better person to raise a family.

Yes I agree doesnt matter how old you are YOU as a person decideds if you want to be a responsible mum or dad BUT you would do a better rounded job if there were a father and mother, it has been proved in many social and psychological assessments on parents and children that if you have a normal upbringing (1 father 1 mother, nice family background ect ect) that the child will become a well rounded adult and make hopefully well rounded choices. Personally from an older mother I wasnt ready to have a child due to university and not starting work until 22 i didnt have any money in the bank, and it would not have been fair to have a child when I needed to have my thoughts elsewhere NOW after working with my degree and travelling for a year I was ready to find someone but didnt until I was 32 and had my first child at 37 I was very ready and now luckily can stay at home back nutritional food and do so much more more my children rather than place them in care somewhere, I value my time with them do alot with them and they are already wise little people if i had a child too early then um well I dont need to think that anymore
