@TheAmericanDream25 my dad to has never been in my life- and i don't care :)

I dont know what its like to have a dad around.

But he's a lowlife- i am better off without him and being with my mum.

I don't think sex is right at 16- protected or not. It's nto just sex- so much emotion is put into it and i doubt any 16 year old is ready for that- wait until you are 18,19 hey why not 20 ?

Sex= babies. Mother nature always has a trick up her sleeve- don't just rely on a pill- use your brain.

You know what.. I know that there are ALOT of young girls who have to go through alot of crap BECAUSE THE FATHER OF THE BABY IS AN ASS AND JUST RUNS AWAY!! Luckily my baby daddy didn't, and i know that i'm SO lucky that I have all this. But it doesn't mean that it's not hard work for me, and that i'm just a thoughtless slut.. My mom went trough so much crap cause my father couldn't take his responsibility even though he was 30 when I was born. My mom was 19.

@jaydeybugz more is on the mom cuz she has a choice. like getting an abortion and adoption. they make it harder for themselves by keeping it. and they shouldn't have opened their legs to guys who they thought were bad boys or hot

I get the job first but she can do high school by mail or computer. I may only work retail and not make much but having even just my high school was needed. Plus you need it for any other education classes.

All the way up until 13 I was in foster care, but by 14 I moved out. My dad was never in the picture and my mom wasn't much better. So to cope with my life I started going to parties. One night I got drunk and my boyfriend took advantage of me. We split up for a month until I found out I was pregnant. We got back together and I'll admit it was hard at first. 6 years later I'm still trying to get over it, but our life and this family is perfect. We are engaged and are planning our wedding!

TEEN PREGNANCYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Talking about seeing so many pregnant girls around, why does no one talk about the guys who GOT them pregnant?

Oh nooo let's not talk about them just call girls sluts and whores.

I fucking hate sexism.

@WH1PP3DCR34M I wish u luck in following a career path but having another kid doesn't make sense now just get your school done & then worry about starting a family
