What does teen pregnancy do to you?

Answer 1

*The above answer is a bit harsh. It is not ideal to be pregnant while unmarried, but do not give up! You can always look forward to attempt marrying, but if that does not work out.....Okay, whatever you do DO NOT GET AN ABORTION! Pray, and you know what, I am praying for you! You are not alone.

*It depends on what your level of maturity is, who you are and what your life is like prior to being pregnant. Being PREGNANT does not ruin your life, necessarily. Neither does being a mother, regardless of whether or not you are married -- though if you're single, and don't have a very good support system between friends and family, it will be far more difficult for you. Most people, regardless of their age, can't carry the burden of motherhood all alone, especially not with a newborn -- it takes a lot of inner strength. You do not HAVE to drop out of school, nor does your significant other - there are many schools that are specifically for teen mothers. I graduated from one. In fact, were it not for my son giving me the motivation, I would likely never have graduated.

SO TO SUM THAT UP: It depends on who you are. The answer would be different for every person.

*It doesn't do anything necessarily, but it tests your maturity and everything you have. Being a teen isn't bad, only it isn't good if you haven't finished schooling. Once you are 15, your hormones explode and you are very prone to pregnancy if you aren't careful. Already, 4 people at my school, including me are pregnant and we are all younger than 18.

*I had my daughter at 17, I graduated high school early, she has an amazing step father, and I'm in my 3rd year of college and doing great. Having a baby as a teenager DOSE NOT ruin your life, you don't have to drop out of school, of anything like that. Yes your body changes but it'll go back to normal if you take care of it the right way. I got stretch marks on my a$$ and boobs and you can't even see them anymore, because you put Palmers Coco Butter on it and within a year or so they dissappear. You muture a lot faster then others and your mood changes a lot too, but it doesn't last a long time. You just have to be calm and think of the wonderful little boy/girl you are bringing into this life.
