I mean, if they want to keep the kid, kudos. But if they make that decision, they should realize all of the responsibility that comes with it. Go out into the real world, get a job, and rent an apartment. Having a baby is a very grown-up thing to do, it's not quite the same as playing house in your mom's basement. I know a girl who's seventeen and has two babies, each with a different father, and she still lives at home and totally mooches off her parents. What a loser.

And if you're not ready for that kind of responsibility yet, luckily, you've got two options: abortion or adoption.

Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.

Just because the girl gets pregnant doesn't mean that she has to give the kid a one way ticket to fucked-up-life-ville.

Moving out doesn't prove anything, aside from some semblance of financial stability.  Making responsible decisions DOES prove that you're mature and somewhat grown up.

Why do you have to rent an apartment in order to work? It makes a shit ton more sense to stay at home. Their parents are far better fit to help raise the child than the kid.

Exactly. My best is pregnant. Fuck off.

How does that make sense? If living with their parents is logically the best thing for them and the baby, why does it matter? Why would you move out just to "look like a grown up" if that's not what's best for the child that you have to raise.

I think she meant its unfair for your parents for a teenager to get pregnant and live completely off their parents, it isn't their parents kid and they shouldn't have to raise it. I think she just meant the teenager needs to be responsible and not completely depend on their parents.

That's not what the OP says.

Um, yeah, it's not the teenager's parents' job to raise their grandkid.

And the last line of my post addresses your argument; they probably should think about what's best for the child they have to raise by way of adoption. The whole point of my post is that they DO have another option. I'd highly encourage adoption. They shouldn't make the decision to keep the baby unless they can support it, it's pure logic.

2. Adoption? What's the fucking point in having the baby if you give the adoption option. Adoption will actually cost you more to get than actually having a baby.

I'm not dissing teen parents for the whole "getting pregnant" thing.

1. First off, if the teen is under 18, they are more than unlikely to go and rent their own apartment. Yeah, they might go get a job to pay for the baby and shit, but not for the apartment.  

2. Adoption? What's the fucking point in having the baby if you give the adoption option. Adoption will actually cost you more to get than actually having a baby.
