Do you really think teenage mothers are doomed?

This question is multi-layered.


Firstly: do you think teenage mothers are doomed?


Secondly: why/why not?


And thirdly and most importantly: do you actually even KNOW any teenage mothers personally?


Just putting this question up to have a laugh at all those closed-minded people around, and all you gals (and guys) who don't think we're doomed, would really love to get answers from you as well!:))Do you really think teenage mothers are doomed?
1. No I don't think they are doomed at all. Today there are so many options to help them with school, work, finances, etc...


2. Because there are millions of teen mothers who have made it. Plenty of them are way more successful then those who didnt become teen parents.


3. Yes my friend in high school had a baby at age 16, she is still with the father, she graduated high school, became an EMT and is now finishing up med school.Do you really think teenage mothers are doomed?
i think it completely depends on the person. some people are just imature to have kids and end up dumping them on there parents. i had a girl in my school do that. she was just a bad mom at the age of 16. while on the other hand, my sister was 16 when she got pregnant, and she is doing great. she took care of her daughter, went to school full time, and got her diploma. all by herself. and now she is a stay at home mom, getting her teaching assistant certification, married to a great man, who by the way is in Iraq, so she is alone again, in a big house she keeps meraculously clean now with a total of three kids. so i am sure it depends on the person, and what they want to do with there life. so theres my answer, good luck to you, i hope you turn out like my sister and not the other girl i know. and it will be tough no matter wich way you go, thats for sure. but hopefully you will succeed. good luck again
I wasnt technically a teenager when I had my first child (I was 20) but I still got all the 'you've ruined your life' crap that a teenager would get.


Guess what? I like my life.


Im 25...have 2 children, been with the same partner for 7 years now, we own a house, 2 cars and have a great life.


Both my kids are special needs (ADHD, Tourettes %26amp; autism) and Id like to see an older mother cope any better than what I do on a daily basis.


I honestly think that for the most part, age doesnt mean a thing. You can be 16 and a great mother or 30 and a bad mother. Age doesnt really have much to do with it
no i don't think so my sister was 18 when she had her baby ..she also finished highschool and is now going part time to college to earn a degree in business
well i have 2 stories concerning this... my sister who had her 1st daughter was only 13yrs old at the time now has 3 kids and is only 22. she barely finished high school, and has never taken care of all her kids longer than 6mos.. Now she is in prison. okay now i had my first child at 19 and i am 25 now and have a very successful real estate company. I even named my company after my daughter:). we both had the same support system same parents just different goals and views on life. she saw her children has an excuse to give up saying it would be too hard on her to go to school. but i on the other hand saw my pregnancy has a reason to get my degree and provide a great future for my children. so it just depends on the maturity level and focus.
1. Depends on the individual


2. Depends on how they deal with the situation and if they have the personal strength to accept the responsibility.


3. Yes I do, some doomed themselves and their children, some did not. But more did then didn't.


Overall, it's not a good idea to have children as a teenager, in my opinion. When you get older and more mature, you see why this is true.
I think whether or not they are doomed depends on how they handle the situation. So i don't think they are doomed as long as they are able to cope with and take resposibility for the choices they have made. Yes i do know some one whos had a baby and she is my aunt she is just fine and her daughter is 13 and they have a wonderful life. I am 17 and about 6 months pregnant and things are going quite well for my boyfriend and I. I am scared i give u that but things will turn out fine for us and we are trying our best.finish high school and don't give up is real good advice though for anyone the same age younger or maybe older than i am thats pregnant...same to the fathers as well as mothers....
no I don't think they are doomed, they have made it before, and they will make it again. Yes I do, and they are wonderful people, they could have had more with their life, but it is the road they choose, and I will support them with all my heart.
no not all teenage mothers are doomed it all depends if the teenage girl and boy are mature enough to raise the baby i know many girls who have gotton pregnant and their fine right now. It also depends if they have support from their parents and enough money to pay for the baby.





some are doomed if the guy left as soon as he found out.
