Does one not become automatically emancipated once one gives birth? I thought I had read that somewhere |

No. To get emancipated you need to either join the military or get married with your parents consent, or get emancipated by a judge. To do that, you need to prove you can support yourself (and your child if you're a parent) and explain why it would be in your best intrest to be emancipated. |

| If you are the father you have the right to know your child and to participate in your childâs life. You have rights of custody and access. You also have responsibilities. You have the responsibility to financially and emotionally care for your child. You have a responsibility to be present in your childâs life and ensure that your childâs needs are met. You have the responsibility to ensure that your child is safe and well cared for and is free from harm. You have the responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interest of your child. More on rights and responsibilities later, first letâs look at the most important thing every prospective father needs to know about⦠how to know if they are really the father.
Parenthood is not an easy thing and it should never be entered in to lightly. No matter what the circumstances surrounding conception when you become a parent you are a parent for the rest of your life. Fathers are no less important than mothers and their obligations to their child are no less than those of a mother. Just because biology has made it that mothers carry the child in their body this does not mean that the mother is the most important parent. Both parents have important roles to play in the life of their child. While having a child while youâre still a kid your self is less than ideal this does not make you any less a parent. Once you know a child is yours it changes your life forever no matter how old, or young, you are. |

I'm sure everyone will jump on me for saying this: but in a way, a lot of teen moms do get pregnant ... maybe not so much on purpose... but maybe they don't try really hard not to become pregnant. You know, how a lot of girls use the pull out method as 'birth control' and we all know - EVEN TEENS KNOW! - that doesn't work. Or even though birth control is free and readily available at family planning clinics across the nation, they don't take it regularly. I'm not saying ALL teens do this. But there are a fair number of girls who do. The girls who think he'll love her more if she doesn't use a condom. |
