After the Jamie Lynn Spears topic, I wonder what do you people think? A teenager can't raise their baby? I mean honestly... people who have kids young, I pity, however I also completly respect them because when you have a child while you yourself are still a child, it is going to be hard and will take a lot of unselfish acts. They have to give up a lot in order to raise their baby, and they have all of my respect.

What do you think?

They'll need a lot of help from others, but they are capable.

As a teenager still in high school with a low paying job, I'd probably suicide if I found out I was going to have a kid.

I generally think that every parent isn't ready when they have kids. No matter what their age is. It may be harder for teenage parents, but I don't think they're worse parents. They, too, can raise a kid. They, like every other person in the world, learn.

I agree. They should be supported, and should be taught to learn from their mistakes.

My thought is the right kind of teenager can raise a kid well, but if they still are dementedly self centered they wont get very far at all

I fucking hate it when people say that.

In other countries, having a baby at 13 is NORMAL and you fucking raise your damn kid yourself.

God, people.

WE AS AMERICANS ARE TOO FUCKING SHELTERED.


Sorry...

This and help from others... just an opinion.

Says who?

My mother had me when she was 17, raised me as well as my brother on her own when my dad left her and joined the army.
