The Teens' Speech(2009)-Far Eastern Jazza On Family

[TheCrkelley]

My mom is open-minded yet restrictive to a certain extent, but really doesn't mind what I do as long as I work for it on my own..i.e. as long as she doesn't have to pay for me.

[scionlightning]

unfortunately the system of management with parenting in the UK is really stupid. I've got a friend who has had 2 kids(third on the way) with his girlfriend, they're set up in their own place and both work, but all bills are going to be paid from now on, apparently.

If we need to know why things are so screwed up, its going to be easier to have a few kids and not worry about bills when the gov will do it for you.

I don't think you should put all the burden of what you do on the parents. You may have been lucky enough to have parents that have enough money to spend on you. All parents no matter what age has that advantage. I know I could not have sent my chiildren around the world and still take care of the other four.

(read comment below first) ... and support for her, my brother and Kayleigh. My family are fairly wealthy - I attend a selective private school and we live a large, comfortable home. But i think when it comes to young pregnancies, its not your background/family, but YOU which makes the difference. YOU can chose for yourself when you're ready, who the father will be. The question is, are you responsible enough to make such a big decision so young?

[wierdofreak123]

My brother's wife gave birth to their child at the age of 19, two years before he proposed to her and they married in the summer. Their beautiful daughter, Kayleigh, is now almost 4 years old and she is one of the smartest and most aware young children i have come across recently (of course, i may be biased as this is my brother's daughter). Ellie (Kayleigh's mother) was studying Art at Derby University at the time, and they were very supportive, offering her flexible studing hours, grants ...

i definitely agree that these young parents should be helped emotionally, as you were saying. because it, parenting that is, is a lot to take on. yeah.

Chinese and Spanish??? a bit of an odd twinning I would have thought.

[0King2Of0Yesterday]

My parents do not support my decisions much at all but that's mostly because of their religious views. They don't support my decision to move to Manchester (an hour away) to go to university so they might just die if I said I wanted to live in China.

my mum n dad where 18 and 19 when they had my brother. He leads an amazing life; he is engaged and getting married this summer, he is a financial banker with HSBC and is a giving, caring, supportive older brother to me. He is competitive, disciplined, calm and sensible. He knows what he wants out of life and how to get it. A success story of young mums n dads.

[Tommyboiuk1992]

My mum and dad support me but not enough to send me to china :L

I reckon good parents are parents who are financially and emotionally able to care for their children, willing to change their life for them, and yet also let them do what they want with their lives when they leave..

[edgehaedjr]

My parents, like yours, support me in my decisions. My parents have pretty much given me full-reign of my choices most of my life. They've only been there when they've had to intervene. As for moving, they don't mind. My parents immigrated from Mexico, and my maternal grandfather is from Spain, so they feel if it's best for me to move, they'll fully support me. They know I plan to study abroad, and probably move to either Canada, or Switzerland and they say OK; as long as I stay out of trouble.

[CLEZM]

My sister got married at 20/21 and was pregnant very shortly afterwards. she is definitely mentally mature enough, and financially (partly due to my parents admittedly, but mostly her husbands job). The now nearly 2 year old is very healthy and happy, but she does lead a hectic lifestyle (due to commutes devon to london) meaning she doesnt get a routine much, but i dont think that is due to my sisters age exactly. just telling you one story, and i recognise you werent saying it is impossible!

[BethOnTop]

tis very nice to see a familiar face on here :)

A good parent is somebody who helps you choose not just lets you do things. If I told them I was going to move away they would talk to me about it and help me decide. I like the way mine are.

That's the thing about teenage pregnancy.. I just think that if you're not able to look after a child- USE CONTRACEPTION. That subject really gets me going x

[JaguarEscarlata]

I am no longer a teen, I'm 26, actually. But I want to share my mind here. I was born when my parents were both around 19. And I honestly must say I am very happy and proud at how the raised me. We went through rough time, with dad in a no-money job, and his major at the same time, I used to get sick all the time, and the sort, but we made it through. They are my example that even if you are a teen, you can mature enough to raise a kid responsibly.
