Maybe there should be a separate debating
board for teen pregnancy. Maybe there are
other subjects we could think of to go
with it.
How do we make suggestions?

i disagree
that doesnt need to be a seperate forum at
all. its just asking for drama
teens (most of us anyways) are
very...eh...aggressive,argumentive, always
think we are right all the time. to make a
forum like thats only going to get
everyone all ralled up. not saying all
teenagers but the majority will only get
defensive and angry and its going to cause
wayy to much drama. basically it would be
a forum with a bunch of locked topics.
i understand all opinions and views on
teen pregnancy however it seems that some
things brought up in this forum just start
mess and we dont need to make the mods and
admns job any harder than it already is.
there is an abortion debate forum because
mature people post there with thier
opinions. however a 14 yr old girl who
swears up and down that shes pregnant is
not mature enough to debate about weather
she needs to be "married" or not or if its
"right" for her to keep the baby
instead of a debate she would get
defensive and agressive. like most teens
do here. some people just arent mature
enough to handle advice they dont want to
hear.

Well, You are probably right about most of
that, but I still think people could get
some value out of a forum like that.

of course they could get some value and
even great opinions out of it
personally i would be all for it
however im thinking about this forum and
the am i pregnant forum in general and how
those places are. mostly with young teen
girls that think they know everything
which is going to cause drama for sure
lol
and i think it would be best to avoid it
all together than "try" and see what
happens

I do think it would be a good idea
actually. you would just have to think
before you posted because it's obviously
one of those subjects that can cause
offense very easily

yes i agree with you danni! i think if all
of the posters in that forum could be
mature then it wouldnt be a bad idea at
all. unfortunately as seen above most of
the teen girls posting here for answers
are easily offended and angry because they
are too immature to realize how being a
teen parent is. that its not just some
plastic baby doll you can pick up when you
want to.

A debate forum would be an excellent idea,
we can just move every rude comment over
there. I just joined this site and i have
to say the cattyness is 10% higher than it
need be. So maybe a debate forum can
lessen that and let people express
themselves more.

But what is there to debate? You guys are
pregnant and you're teens; that seems
pretty straightforward to me... Most
topics could be included in Parenting
Debate or General Debate.

As I was formulating the idea of a teen
pregnancy debate forum, I was thinking
more along the lines of debating teens
ttc, not those already pregnant.

its really not like that
you dont understand
yeah alot of people may come off as rude
but for instance when you see a post where
the girl says shes 12, her and her bf were
messing around and she had 2 pairs of
pants on and he was in a metal armor suit
but he came on her toe 2 days ago but shes
gained 36 pounds and her boobs have grown
5 cup sizes and she thinks shes preg but
she took 89 tetst and 25 blood test and
they all came back neg but she still
thinks shes pregnant...yeah. what do you
expect us to say?

yeah i know what you mean but think about
it this way
a topic would spark "TTC and teenager"
oh god i can see it now. point blank
teenagers are too stubborn and too
defensive to even argue with this. weve
got our mind set on thinking what we want.
that we are ALWAYS right. and that will
never change. you cant debate with someone
like that. for people to debate they need
to be responsible,opinionated,well
educated enoigh and have statistics and
reason to back up tihier reasoning behind
it
what would be a teenagers reasoning to
support how he/she feels on the situation?
"because i want to and i know im right"
just like teen relationships will "last
forever"
see what i mean? im not saying all
teenagers are like this. id love to have a
debate forum like that and im sure many
teen moms would like too as well. but n
the end being a teen mother ALREADY, or a
teen girl that WANTS to get pregnant
because her "bf says he will be with her
forever" are 2 very different things. and
no matter what we say, that teen girl will
think and do what she pleases even if we
all tell her its not easy, she should
wait. whatever.
it woudnt be a debate
it would be a huge argument

The problem is that a lot of the girls
don't even know how to express themselves
without getting angry and cursing-- you
don't see a lot of rational and mature
teens ttc you know? These girls aren't
going to read your sources and you'll be
lucky if they read everything you write.
They are just going to think they are
right and that's that. Not to mention that
a lot of them lie when things don't go
their way. One girl I remember who was
asked about work said she had a steady job
for over a year but when I poked around on
her myspace I saw her friends saying
congrats on her first pay check ever just
a few days before-- It wouldn't be like
the other debate forums, you'd be talking
to a brick wall.
It's a great thought, but the only people
who will take your words to heart are the
girls who always planned on waiting from
the beginning. Everything else is just
added conflict-- Every topic would be
locked within a day!

Im not trying to be rude but you cannot
control what other people say.If people
want to argue about teen pregnancy then so
be it.Everyone has their own opinions.I
think what most people on here are trying
to say when they "argue" about teen
pregnancy,is the young teenagers that want
to become pregnant.I mean it's pretty
ridiculous when 14 year old girls come on
here and say they want to get pregnant.Of
course other people are going to comment
asking if they are finacally stable which
mostly all of them are not.Plus it is
really bad on your body to have a baby at
such a young age.But most young girls do
not realize all of these things all they
think about is themselves and not about
their future child.
