Students in high school are experiencing parenthood already, but aren't eligible to have a job yet. So what do they do to support their child, from their parents of course. Is it their parents fault that they had a child in an early age, that their parents have to experience supporting a child that is not theirs? Parents feel like a failure once their children does something like that? They would feel like they did not raise their child right, but is that the reason their child had to have a child of their own?
Most of the parents I know don't allow their child to have a boyfriend/ girlfriend because they
don't think it's right to be in a relationship in an early age. Their relationships might be affected with their education, their life's, their family. Taking away that advantage from their children makes their child do everything they can do once they are not being watched by their parents. That's why their children does something bad and ends up being pregnant.
I've been in a relationship for more than two years, and you don't see me pregnant. Both our parents allow us to be together. So we are able to see each other any time we want to. So we aren't in any rush to doing anything we would regret. Students that are pregnant knows that once they are pregnant their parents wouldn't have any choice but to accept their child and the father.
Parents shouldn't be too strict with their children. Get to know them more, and if they do have a boyfriend or girlfriend, talk to them about. It's better to know about it than hiding it from you right? It may be uncomfortable, but they need you more than anything. Yes have limitations, but don't control their life's. They need to learn their mistakes on their own to be able to not go through it again. They would grow up anyway, but they would always be your baby, whatever happens.
Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it. ~Haim Ginott

i like your post on this one, im with you there, i wrote about a friend of mine being pregnant at the age of 14..i dont know if you read it, but i had to delete it. although, your post about this is pretty interesting, true and it explains the real world today, the teenage life=)
Hey Jove, I like your topic on pregnancy. It was a good decision to choose that knowing that a lot of teenagers are getting too carried away with their boyfriends. I know what you mean when you say that parents have to be strict with their kids, but just keep in mind that even though you are strict on kids, doesn't stop them from doing what they do. Other than that, great choice.
Very interesting, seeing a bond with parents and teenagers is very emotional. Well teenagers now a days are talking back to their parents, so it's nice to see this blog remind me of that, thanks and great job on the blog!
wow i like your pictures...z..zheheh
it really tells the true.z
I'm not sure I agree.
I think teens get pregnant less out of rebellion against their parents' rules and more out of a need for "love." There's some hole in their lives that they're hoping to fill with sex or babies.
Maybe not all of them, but I think most.
Unfortunately, neither sex nor babies fill that hole. Babies are not there to take care of parents' needs.
So you're not getting pregnant, which is great. But for teens who are having sex, there is no foolproof way to guard against pregnancy? Birth control helps, but it's not 100% effective.
So as a parent, I'm all for being strict, not completely domineering or interfering, but strict. Such as-- parents need to know what you're doing, where you're going, and with whom you'll be spending time. And they have to know that when they say you can't do something, you'll respect their limit and take it as your own.
I'm hoping with dialogue, there won't be such a great need to watch every move like a hawk.
