My thought is the right kind of teenager can raise a kid well, but if they still are dementedly self centered they wont get very far at all 
You think that, as most teenagers do, but when you have a innocent child in your hands, that is YOURS, how could you still be selfish? That's when most people realize that that is THEIRS, and it is relying on only them to take care of it... 
You are either incredibly naive or live in rose-tinted glasses land. Some teens are capable of the maturity to raise a child, some adults are incapable of the maturity to raise a child. But don't get all wrapped in this touchy feely fuzzy bullshit that once she has a baby in her arms, every mother suddenly matures and gives her all for her baby. Contrary to your idealized perception, most teen mothers don't. The baby is dumped off to be raised by the kid's mother or other relatives, or worse. Those newborn babies don't dump themselves in the dumpsters. No one answer applies to all. Post edited at 1:27 pm on Oct. 9, 2008 by Imessedup2

How is birth control gonna fail for a virgin? 
Just because you are sexually active, it doesn't make you an idiot who shouldn't reproduce. Like I already said, teenagers will be teenagers, when you have hormones running ramped through your body things happen. 
Sorry, I shouldn't have been so general. Seriously though, I'm just saying those who have kids are usually the ones who shouldn't.

Eh I still strongly disagree with you there. My mom had me young, a lot of my friends are pregnant (they are older however... 19 and such) and I don't believe that is true. It is tragic when it happens, but if they take care of their responsibilities why it it people still look down upon them? They should be respected, when a 17 year old can raise her child better then a 30 year old, it is amazing.

No I agree. Good parents are good parents, regardless of their age. It just seems like there are a lot of teens, on this site or on others, that post stuff like "OMGZ! im preggerz. i think ill name it spork."

Since I know successful teenage parents who were 16-19 at the time of their child's birth, I would say, yes.

Ohh i see lol. I agree. My boyfriend's ex is knocked up and actually called us to tell us!! She asked me which sex I'd like to have, I told her... uhhh neither? IDT I could honestly take on that type of responsibility. I don't know how I would react to having to put everything on hold for a baby, or even giving up shit for it... however I do know that if i were to ever get pregnant, the second I found out I would take on the responsibility. But I am selfish, and still a teen, and would rather stay that way :P
