Well, yeah, the girl may be looking for someone to replace her own father's love if they didn't have that. But in some cases, the father of the baby will get out, having what he wanted, and leaving the girl pregnant. That's the saddest part. No sex until marriage is, in my personal opinion, the best way to go.

That doesn't mean the man can still leave.  Marriage still isn't in my opinion enough assurance to the woman that the man will stay if she gets pregnant.  There have been many cases where a married couple have a baby and the man leaves.  Sex before or after marriage...it's the same thing.  I know sex after marriage and getting pregnant can be messy if the guy leaves, but he can still leave despite whether he's married or not.

And also not all boys who get their girlfriend pregnant abandon them. I certainly wouldn't that's for sure (Although I don't intend to get in that situation). Only a coward would abandon their responsabilities.

I was very lucky in that when I got pregnant at 18 my bf (who was 21 at the time) stuck by me. I know a lot of lads that age don't want anything more to do with the pregnancy and I think it's disgusting. It takes 2 to tango and if a girl/woman ends up pregnant, no matter what their age, I think the father should be involved for the sake of the child.

I very much agree.  Children need fathers.

somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood and I,
I took the road less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

Then again, it depends on the father and who he is.  My friends childs father is a total tosser but he still insists on seeing him.  Here is an example of WHY ....

*Were sitting down getting some food. My mates kid is playing with her £20 note and making it into shapes*

kid - here mummy
my friend - whats this?
kid - a joint
my friend - who showed you how to do that?
kid - daddy did but he said not to tell you

....you see?

Time slowed, reality bent, on and on the eggman went<br /><br /><br />Hey," said Shadow."Huginn or Muninn, or whoever you are.   The bird turned, head tipped, suspiciously, on one side, and it stared at him with bright eyes "Say neverermore" said Shadow.    "F**k you," said the raven. It said nothing else as they went through the woodland together.

I agree. When my mum needed to go into hospital for a major operation and asked my father to look after us, he suggested that she contacted social services and have us put into care. His reason? He had a new girlfriend who wasnt keen on kids and he didn't want to upset her. Who needs a father like that?

True, fathers ought to be a good role model but sometimes even mothers fail. I just think it is wrong to generalise who we believe to be typical 'teenage parents'. Parents have to take responsibility, whether that be through classes or simply getting advice. But I think it is hard to find any proper solution to this subject as this is a very complex one...

Yeah, theres never really a right or wrong answer because each case is so individual ...unless its a council estate....   :dry:

LMAO Shadowfax  :laugh:

Fair enough I know some dads are complete idiots.But if it's possible to without any adverse effects on the child, the father should be involved. It takes 2 people to make a child, so idieally those 2 people should be with that child, love it and bring it up as best they can.

then again its not totally essential, but it is preferable.  I know lovely, well rounded and emotionally balanced people raised by single parents, a few of which never knew their fathers at all and they're all turned out fine, although obviously they probably would have like their fathers to be more involved.

Yeah, it is always good for the dad to be in there.

No, it is NOT always good for the Dad (or Mum) to be there. It depends entirely on the parent or parents. As I said, if you'd had a dad like mine, you would understand while some children need to be protected from their parents and prevented from having contact with them.

I would not have a child young. Mainly because I would like to have a steady income coming into my home before I brought a child into the world. I would want to give the best for my kids and for them to have all the chances they can have to become great. ^_^

I dont say.."Ohh teenagers who have kids are sluts" blah blah No way..It isnt that way. My sister is 15 and already in a sexual relationship. (She is a nympho ;)) My mother and Father know about this and she is on the pill. Now if she had a child at 16 I would congratulate her. I would be most happy for her. But myself personally I want to have my life first. Be free and not tied down. I want to see the world become the best I can...and then when I am nearing 30 I shall pop out a few spawn :P

I don't want a child to because I don't have the money or
finance that would help a child survive this world and I think that
I'm not physically or emotionally ready to have a child now.
I would like to have a child when I'm say..about 24 years old.

About the "teenagers who have kids are tarts" scenario, most
teenagers that I know are already sexually active and most
of them aren't even 16 yet. I think the reason that most
teenagers are becoming sexually active at a young age is
because of an evil disease called peer pressure. Has anyone
heard of this 'cult' called "daisy chaining" or something like that?

Some dads, no matter how menatally unstable they are, stick around. My cousin ggot pregnant when she was sixteen and her baby is now three months old. The father of the child, is 22, and no matter how badly my family and i think of him, he sticks around and takes care of his child. While we dont like him, we still respect him for being a father to Hailey.
