Oh I was so sad watching todays show. Babys having babies. I think it is so important to talk to your teens not only don't have sex you need to talk about birth control. I think it so important that theses young people realize how this is going to change their lives forever.Our young people deserve better than this. They think it is hard picking out an outfit. Now they have to juggel so much more. I think if you have young women and men in your house let them watch this show. It is too bad that this young women had not spent the day with the other young women before getting pregnant.
And like the young women had said she no longer has friends and at 16 she has a full time job watching and careing for her baby,plus worring about financel. This young girl is going to get overwhelmed. I feel for theses young women.
Thank you to the Drs for setting her up with some support. and the gifts they have given her.

I agree, I can only pray that I educate my children enough so that they won't become teen parents. I became a parent for the first time at 21, nothing can prepare you for becoming a parent, it was so hard, I couldn't imagine going through that at the age of 16.
The thing that gets me so pissed off (sorry about phrase) is the "boys" or men that leave their girlfriends once they find out that they are pregnant. What happen to being responsible? The kind "boys" need to MAN UP and take care of what they helped create. Why should the girl have to do all the work? You (boy) had just as much involvement in it as she did, you can't get pregnant by yourself...and if things don't work out, the least you can do is pay child support. I was brought up with morals and being faithful know matter what it is you are doing. I am a father of a handsome 6 yr old boy, I couldn't imagine life without him. My wife and I waited for 4 yrs before we decided to have a child. That is another subject that irritates me, these couples having children right after they get married. In my opinion, I believe you should wait a few years and get use to the life style of marriage. Things can be rough and a child would just make things harder. Anyways, yet again I got a little off track...talking to your kids about sex is very important! I hope you all have a nice weekend...take care fellow Doctor's bloggers :-)
Take it from somebody who knows first hand,it is very tough.I was 15yrs old when I had my son and 17yrs old when I had my daughter.The father of my kids was 22yrs old and I was naive.My belief is that something is missing in your life(like a father) so you think by having a baby who will be yours and love you unconditionly will fill this void you have.The father of my children supported them financialy but thats it ,even thou I was with him.Of course it did not last but you can't tell kids that cause they think they know everything.
This girl on the show is in for a rude awakening,I don't think she realizes that.Hope her Mom does what my Mom did.She was always around but let me know this was my baby and had to take care of it,cause nobody is going to do it for me.
I like how some schools shows you what its like to be parents by giving them one of those dolls that cries all times of the day and ect.....
I wish people would realize how important and hard work it is raising a child before they have them.And babies quit having babies.The cycle needs to be broken.

Ladies so well written.It sounds like in one way or another it has touched many.I agree it needs to stop and I to agree with what schools are doing with the dolls.I have seen several girls with them and they are ready to pull their hair out and I am sure they will think twice. But i think parents need to step out of their comfort zone and talk with their young girls and boys.

I had my first daughter at 16 in 2008 and im am currently pregnant with my second daughter now im nine months now. I personally think sex before marrige is wrong but when a young girl is offed a chance things happen. I am with the father of both my children and he is the only guy ive evr slept with.
I have noticed in the past year a high number of teens have been getting pregnant and honestly in my minsd some girls think its like a trend or something. I know of girls my age that have had kids and even though they are not shy about saying they are a drop out and have a kid, they were not resposible enough to care for there babies and it breaks my heart . I am a stay at home mom and I enjoy spending every moment with my daughter, and I know of other people my age that think of there children as a burden.
in my opinion, if you think your mature enough to have sex, you need to be mature enough to take the consequences of sex.
