If you got Pregnant at the age of 16 what is your reaction?
Answers:
I'd S**T my pants.I'm a boy! but in seriousness..have you seen the chavs with kids! 16 you aren't wise enough and legally, physically and mentally you aren't an adult yourself.
If I was a parent I would have missed out on a million and one oppertunities..sorry teen mums but you are too young
I'd be the most delighted yet shocked boy in my class!
my lil sis is 16 and pregnant and she is v happy even tho she split up wiv bf
horrified probabaly although at that age i would not know to feel or think my parents would probabaly tell me to have an abortion or a shot gun wedding but i think an abortion would be the best option.
no problem if she got pregnant after marriage
What went wrong? It should not have been planned, for 16 is too young. Perhaps 16 is too young to be able to make competent choices about sex and relationships. I think the age of consent should be raised to 18, and marriage should only be allowed at 18, even with parental permission.
ooh bad
"Holy SH1T!!" is what I would think lol
But seriously, at 16, I wouldn't have had it. Glad I have never been in that situation though because my views on that sort of thing has changed as I've gotten older & that would be a huge thing to regret.
My reaction would be one of utter amazement! A 16yr old boy, up the duff! The government would want me, the world would want me.all I would want is whats best for my new baby, how will it live having a freak as a parent!...Nooooooooo!
I was and Im still here to tell the tale and so is my child :)
My reaction would have been the same as when I got pregnant at 18, all I could do was cuss and cry. I would have been just as scared at 16 as 18.
I would be scared because i would wonder what peoples reactions would be as well as wondering what would happen to me. I would, however, keep the baby and give it the love and attention that it desevered.
To be honest so many of my friends DID get pregnant at 16, 17 and younger that my reaction would be the usual.
WHY? i would let you know that you are going to have a tough time of it but it will be very rewarding to know that you can do it and I'd wish you the very best of luck. I really don't see the point in giving out about it, it happens and once it's happened there's very little you can do about it, unless you choose abortion which is a decision that I don't feel a 16 year old is mature enough to make. At least with having a child, you can give it for adoption or simply accept the help offered to you by friends and family member, abortion is permanent.
If you are pregnant I wish you the very best and hope it all works out for you.
I would have been scared especially if my parents wouldnt have given me support.
I would have died on the spot. If my mom didn't kill me first, that is.
I think I would feel totally overwhelmed with the situation so would speak to someone I trusted and who could advise me on what I should do about it.. maybe a female relative or if I didn't feel I could talk to a relative I would talk to a friend's mum - I have a 14 year old daughter and her friends always come to me with their problems> I would also seek the advice of a doctor who could talk me through everything.. One thing is definate - I wouldn't try and cope with it on my own!
I got pregnant at sixteen once the shock has passed i was over the moon if not slightly scared i can honestly say hand on heart having my son was the best thing we ever did so much so we had another boy two years later they are now 6 and 4 raising children is the hardest job in the world but the most rewarding people always try to tell you when you have a child so young how much you 'missed' out on. What have i missed out on? getting sh*t fu*ked out of my brain every w/end no thank you there is nothing i wanted to do i still can't do i was young when i had my children yes not incapable tho my children are very well behaved and polite do well in school and are very pleasent to be around and im extreamly proud of them im also proud of us because so far we have done a great job.
F***
Well that was stupid.
Hi, I do not think that being pregnant at that age is good, life is very wide and I do not want to carry this responsibility at that age, I need to live first and to allow for my babies to live also in good atmosphere in which I am ready for and I prefer the marriage atmosphere so both of us take care of them.
having sexy relationship at that age is big problem. so, marriage first, sexy second, pregnancy third, and children last. thank you. and if it does happen , I should accept it, and start think ing about another future in which there is an other element I should take care of.
I DID get pregnant at 16 (15, really). I was surprised but not because I was pregnant. I knew I could be but I didn't think I was because I wasn't having any symptoms. The truth to tell, I took the test because me and my ex were going to take acid and since LSD causes genetic deformities and birth defects, I got tested first. Needless to say, I didn't take any acid. Come to think of it, I've never taken it again and that was 11 years ago. He and I stayed together for 9 years and had another child. My mom was a b!tch at first but she got over it. 9 months is enough time to get over something like that. She tried to talk to me about abortion but she also knew when to quit. I feel very strongly about abortion. I hate to see it used as birth control. If you don't want to get pregnant, it IS preventable. And it's EASY to prevent. People say differently but I've been in that situation and I know. Anyone who says they got pregnant on "accident" is really saying they got pregnant from being careless, which isn't the same thing. So, if you want my advice, if you're pregnant, tell your parents. I know you're scared and I know they'll be mad but they will also probably help you if you give them the chance. Don't do something you'll regret. Every woman I know that had an abortion regrets it. My one friend is eaten up with guilt every day of her life over it. Don't do that to yourself. You're not alone. Give your parents the chance to help you. And by the way, if they won't, there are organizations that will.
The biggest horror would have been that I would have had to tell my parents, and I have no idea how I would have ever been able to do that!
my reaction would be.well probably should have made my boyfriend wear a condom!
I would be shocked, then i would go to my drs and get help as i am a bloke
scared and worried i wasent going to be a good mom when it doesnt matter ur age as long as u are financially stable
i would be very scared because im still a kid, and know i wouldnt be able to accomplish goals that i had set for myself
I got pregnant when I was 16 and I was excited even though my parents were not to happy to begin with they were ok with it after they knew I was going to go through with having her. I am not saying it is good to get pregnant when you are young I am just saying if you lay there and do it and you get pregnant it is not the babys fault it is yours, so reguardless if you want to keep it or not you should because the baby didn't ask to be concieved it was just lucky enough to be.
i was excited and a little nervous just like i was four years later when i got pregnant again and then the 3rd time six years later. having a baby is a little scarry for everyone. my mom was on vacation when i found out so i had to wait 4 days to tell her. she took it suprisingly well.
i got married at 16, and yes i was preg, unfortunatly i lost my baby but my marriage is still going strong (5years later) and we now have 2 beautiful daughters, i dont regret getting pregnant at 16, and know that i had a stable enough life to cope with being a mum, Each person has their own different circumstances to explain getting preg, and each have their own way with dealing with the consequences, However, if you have a good relationship with your mum you should always talk to her cos although she maybe angry and hurt at the beginning she will come around and you will wonder why you were ever so scared of telling her!
If you are preg, and young there are so many options available to young mums, and should really research all of your options before you make your decision.
hi chic my reaction wud be to go with it take every day as it comes,theres many people who love and care to help in these situations.i had one that age id a lot a support and wud not change my decision for the world..best thing that ever happened to me quoted from my dad when i told him x think things first x
I got pregnant with my son at 16 and gave birth when I was 17. I was very naive and did not have a clue. Luckily my dad and stepmother helped me greatly otherwise I would not have coped. My son is 11 now and is a lovely boy none the worse for having a young mummy. I dont regret having him he is my pride and joy.
it could be the worst possible scenario as i know that many people who thought it was a good idea to have children so young that a few years down the line they want there own life back and 9 times out of 10 the child ends up being brought up by there grandparents which just shows the parent wasn't ready for the responsibility parenthood en tales but was just to naive to see it
