You asshole, shut up you idiots saying congrats.

Babies are a joyous occasion.

I admit I chuckled when people offered congratulations, but many of us have been in this situation before and it's exceedingly stressful for the short period of time it exists. Highschool, unmarried, parent? SUCKS!

nah...

babes = sex

sex + protection != babies

99%

I thinks it's more around 95%. 1 out of 20 - those are horrible odds.

It's higher than 95%, but it works something like this:

X percentage of women on this method of birth control will get pregnant within the next year.

I'll take those odds.

exactly. aborting (especially later on) can be traumatizing, or so I've been told by my sister (she's had 2), but ultimately it can also be a lot more humane for the perspective child.

I think people should take responsibility for their screw ups. Or at least try. There are to many children in group homes, and adoption agencies in the world.

Just because you have a child at 18 doesn't mean your life is over. It means starting now you are going to act and think like an adult.

If he was man enough to stick his dick in her, he's man enough to raise a child.

Prove your a man, take care of your child!

I despise these threads. It isn't until these types of threads pop up I realize just how immature most of you guys really are.

For both your sakes I hope it's just a missed period.

OMFG, the sky is falling, hell has frozen over and the world is about to come to an end.

I agree with YAYO? ::cringes in shame::

seriously, HAVING a child DOES NOT MEAN YOUR LIFE IS OVER. it does mean your life is harder, it does mean you can't "party" all the time (apparently you partied too much already :roll

this OMFG i'm a victim crap and i've got to do something about it cr@p is nothing but cr@p.

I have the ultimate birth control for your sister.

Apply one firmly between knees. Administer as often as necessary.

Abortion at any stage in pregnancy is traumatizing unless your a heartless bitch, skank whore.

Children aren't messed up because the parents were to young, children get messed up because the parents are stupid.

Man you peple think you know it all, dont you. Yet most of you are unexperienced. Go figure!

It cna't be that traumatizing if the first abortion didn't make her change her ways.

If he was man enough to stick his dick in her, he's man enough to raise a child.

I disagree. Ever seen the jerry springer show? A 15 year old can impregnate somebody, but it doesn't mean they will raise a good child.

aside from the obvious lack of effectiveness, this POV is idealistic. That's not to say I don't agree that people exhibit a remarkable knack for being irresponsible. The thing is reason will only get you so far. You can reason with people till you're blue in the face without having any effect. At that point, it's time to be pragmatic. Do we really need a larger population of impoverished children? Maybe I shouldn't be so sympathetic, but I prefer to think of children as a blessing than as a punishment for being stupid.

Err, and a great example of being smart and responsible is unintentionally getting your gf pregnant while you're in HS?

 

[wasssup]

heh i did a paper on abortion for my freshman english class, and from what i remember both sides had some good arguments...

Letting the kid into this world might lead to the child living through a sad life, or a very happy life. Unfortunately, since we cannot tell the future, we have to make the decision we feel is correct and hope we made the right choice.

Does she know who the father is?

i haven't read this entire thread, but the first 20 comments or so were all I could take. you guys are the least-considerate bunch of fvcktards i've ever seen and your insensitive comments are completely inappropriate, out of line, and just plain mean. die.

Seriously, there are a lot of immature attitudes toward this whole thing in this thread.

You got whoever was dumb enough to not use protection, (hint: sex = procreation.) If it were ment for recreation, you wouldn't have balls. It can become recreation with a partner if you use protection. Otherwise you're just stirring up problems for a LOT of people.

Then you have the people who think abortion is funny/sugguestable. Something about jamming a knife up an orafice, chopping some stuff up, then vaccuming it out is apparently as emotionally damaging to a woman as day to day childbirth. Do some research guys. I had to, once apoun a time, and I learned a lot of stuff, and gained a whole new respect for abortions and the dramatic effect they have on everyone involved.

Hell, I'm married and we use the pill AND condoms. (The pill because she's very irregular mostly. Fact: It's not just to control birth!) Why?
Common sense. We're both kids ourselves (18). We don't need or want kids, nor do we have any place bringing kids up in a household run by two teens. We arent idiots about it, so we choose not to tempt fate.

 

[Ernieb]

sounds like oh we might have unprotected sex...
just go and have a test with your girlfriend..rather than posting here
on anandtech saying..oh my girlfirend might be pregnant..
either yes or not she is pregnant...

just like oh .. my neighbour's house is on fire..
you then post things on anandtech saying..oh neighbour's house is on fire
rather than calling 911..

i just can't understand you people..

Mistakes happen in life.

If you screw up at work or school, you have to make up for those mistakes right? You have to study harder to get that grade or become more goal oriented in order to receive that raise or promotion.

All I'm saying is that sure there are options. Yes everyone deserves a good life. So does that child you created by mistake. People complain as if their life is over. Do you know how many children die each year who are in the governments custody, group homes and children's aid? Children who are raped, and beaten by step parents or foster parents? Your child might endure that one day all because you fvcked up and didn't want to take responsibility.

I recommend abortion if you selfish asses really don't want these kids. Don't even give these kids the chance to live and go through half the crap parentless children go through.

I get very irritated with these types of threads. because I've been there.

I was 15, my boyfriend was 18.
I had my fun, I got my education whether or not is was in a class room, I went to University and I continue to go and complete courses. I have a full time job, I'm still with the father. We now have 2 children. He owns his own company at 27 + works full time for another. We have a family dog and cat, a vehicle (though I hate that thing and if he puts anymore money into I'm leaving his ass)

Venting is cool, but don't act like your life is over.

updates?

Once again, you have to think of the ATOT crowd. Mostly younger males with a huge appetite for sex, huge lack of personal responsibility, and a distorted, spoonfed image of a perfect life; anything that threatens their image will be "rationalized" by them... for example:

*Religion, christian or not, means that most people will have to make a commitment to be a different person; stop drinking, sleeping around, disobeying parents, etc. Therefore they take the easy, convenient route and say "well, science proves that god doesn't exist" because they are having a good time doing whatever the hell they want, because that is the way they want it.

*Abortion: same thing. Having a child changes your precious "i wanna fvck all the time" and keep partying and not being responsible so abortion is the convenient, rational, irresponsible solution.

A child is an opportunity... I also believe that a woman should be able to have a choice, but feel the act of abortion is wrong. It is not the end of the world if a girl has a child....many people here are very petty/materialistic and feel that if they don't live in a $200,000 house with a 350z sitting in the driveway by age 28, their life is over. Life is a celebration of friends, family, etc.

You guys need to stop flipping out on him. Maybe he was using protection and the condom broke?

<------- me 22 her 20 when we had our first. I agree that children are not messed up by young parents. They're messed up by irresponsible a$$hat parents. We have a beautiful family.
