young girls having sex

[2wonderfulboys]

Ok, I just checked out the 20 and under pregnancy forum and I am so very upset!  Why are these girls getting pregnant so young?  Don't their parents even talk to them?  I don't understand a 13 year old having sex and then asking if she could be pregnant?!  A 17 year old with twins!  They don't use protection, don't they realize they could get an STD or AIDS?  Where are the parents?   Wake up America and talk to our children, boys and girls, they really need the help and also some help on spelling also :)

i completly agree,.,,that having kids young should be prevented but you know what...i think its great that the 11 years olds parents were there to support her....thats the very youngest iver ever heard of and it is distubing..but dont you think that in the end its better for them to have the support then to have none and prob evd up on the street with that poor baby who never asked to be brought into the world...im not here to fight or start an argument i just wanted to state that even tho it should be prevented sometimes no matter what teens will do w.e they want!  I think teen pregnancy need just as much support as anyone whois prengant weither its 11(which im still wowed at) to 40 odd...support is the best way to help them !

I know what "clucking" means. I just thought it was rude.

No problem,,, some people just dont get it,,,I guess they need a little lesson in life before its understood.  

Ive noticed the ones who have a problem with this posting still continue to post?  

some thrive on drama.

I think the whole 'you can't prevent it' can be b.s. to some. I know when I was a teen I wouldn't even dream about premarital relations because my parents would have killed me. The fear alone was reason enough not to date or even try anything with boys. I didn't do it until I was 19 and don't regret waiting. However, I will say I was stupid and that was partially my parents fault. While they were good at putting fear into me, they were also good at controlling me and refused to let me go on birth control pills. I remember when I moved back at 27 temporarily. My mom got a call from the pharmacist to confirm and she made him tell her what it was for. She threw a fit thinking that birth control pills caused cancer (they did in her day) and went in my purse and threw out the remaining bunch I had! The idiot didn't realize (or remember) that I was on them strictly for medical reasons. My periods were do bad I had to go on them. It wasn't a birth control option for me.

But I will say for my children, I am pushing education and putting the fear into them not to do anything until they're 18. It's not worth ruining your life with committments of a baby and a serious relationship before then.

Thanks!!!  I am only curious and I don't understand this crazy world we live,  but I can see that it needs lots and lots of help!  I appreciate the fact that you "got" my intentions, I was only trying to see how people felt and boy did I get some difference of opinions :)
