Thank Jamie Lynn Spears and all the other celebrities that have babies at a young age.

 But they're teens too, why do they think it's okay? They fall into the category outside of media as well

---

Ok, that was a reason for teens who arent in the media. But for any teen, its probably because they are going through a stage of when they are confused, unsure, and may feel that they are not understood, or not loved, and feel that if they have a baby, there will be that one person that will depend on them, and love them forever no matter what. They want to feel needed and loved.

---

I understand that, I guess I just feel that they should understand the true bulk of having a child instead of just assuming that the child will love them forever. Plus, children don't always love their parents...it's just assumed that they should.

we're unevolving. lol. think back 300 years, and girls got married at a ridiculous age and had children. see my point?

---

 

 I sort of see your point, but I'm not really sure that's why teens are doing it nowadays.

---

oh, i doubt they're doing it on purpose and i doubt they'll be wearing long dresses and walking 15 miles to the market any time soon, its just the behaviour pattern xx

---

Lol, yes

I sincearly belive young girls want to grow up too fast. I also believe that girls that want children way young feel it nessicary to nurture and care for something because they where not loved themselves. It is all about needing to feel love in this twisted society where parents abuse and neglect their children. So the mind set of a young girl devoid of love from her parents is to start her own family. Sad part is usually that ends up in the same twisted cycle of abuse and neglect. I know if there was better parenting there would be a drastic reduction in teen pregnency.

---

I get you. I just think the media plays a serious role in that aspect.

Never said it was logical or right, but thats what I think may be part of it. But yeah, I totally agree with what you said.
Teen girls sometimes make having and raising a child a fairytale, when in reality its not.

Dont tell me the sky is the limit, when there are footprints on the moon.

Think about it.

And a lot of girls think that a baby will love them. Or that parenting their own child better then they were, will be some sort of cure for the anger or disappointment they feel about their own upbringing.

Most don't look at it practically or consider financial responsibilities. They often know at least one or two other girls who are on welfare or WIC or some other social assistance program and think "That's easy! I'll have a baby and the government will pay for it all."

That's just a guess though. I mean, I know that I have huge urges when it comes to starting a family. My boyfriend jokes that I carry a burlap sack around for whenever I see a cute kid to kidnap. But I have not only self restraint, but self confidence as well. I know that I can't have children now because I have other things I need to do first. Some girls just don't come from families where university is expected, some don't feel that they have anything to contribute to the world other than offspring. I think it's tragic that some people feel that they can only offer the world one thing, and I think it's even more tragic when that one thing happens to be children. It's almost like saying "Well, I'm no good, but you can have someone sort of like me that might be able to do better." I don't know.  I have no doubt that some people are just born to be mothers, but I think that waiting until you're ready, getting an education, finding a job and a home can make you the best mother you can be. Just because you're born to do something doesn't mean that you should do it when you're still a child just to get a head start on it. Ugh. I don't know. I hate how many young girls I see pregnant these days, it's so sad.
