fatfamily aren't you very religious, havent in that big post about you you been saying that things happen for a reason and etc etc?
What did jesus do with the harlot girl that the towns people who were tossing rocks at her? He told everyone you who are free of sin cast the first stone. No one else threw any rocks, then he told the girl go and sin no more. No offense but I dont think you really ahve a right to be critiqueing me. Yeah iguess i'm young but whats done is done and god does not give a person more than what they can handle and everything happens for a reason.

Wow, ashlee... You make a very good point. I also believe that everything happens for a reason. Fatfamily says she doesn't judge people, but she just did. But enough about that.

Yes, 13 is very young to be having sex, let alone having a baby. But like you said, what's done is done. Are you and the baby's father still together? How are your parents dealing with it? You have a long road ahead of you, but i'm sure you can get through it. God doesn't give you more than you can handle, that's true. I hope this experience is a very positive life-changing event for you. Good luck with everything and keep us posted. ;-)

Sorry but .God didn't "put" that on her. Unless she's married .God wasn't around when she got pregnant. So .God didn't put it on her, she put it on herself. Not trying to preach or anything but that just needed clarification. That doesn't mean .God won't help her thru it, tho. Not trying to be mean or anything just being real.

Agreed, surrender. God is always with us, and things do happen for a reason. It was god's plan... He always has a plan and obviously he felt that this girl will learn something from having a baby at such a young age. I'm not overly religious, but I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I don't know the reason why this girl got pregnant so young, but she will eventually know why. We can debate god's will over and over, but the fact is... This girl is pregnant and she is dealing with the consequences.

Exactly, erogers...And besides...There are worse things than being pregnant---she could be a drug addict or a criminal or a murderer---but no, shes just a girl, who may have made some bad choices...And now shes dealing with it, and being rather mature it seems =)

First of all I would like to say I wish you the best! I had a child when I was sixteen and I am now 33 and have an awesome husband and 2 more children ages 10 and 7 and yes trying for #4. I hope you have a good support system with your family, and can move on and make your life better from this experience. I hope you have god in your life, he is always there for us.

Ashlee



the statement --everything happens for a reason--is not for use when we are sinning. But...When we do sin---".God can turn it around to the good for us, if we love .Him, and are the called according to his purposes." so what we endure whether we put it on ourselves or if we are persecuted falsely for .His sake, he can use it to our benefit, and to the benefit of others. So we can help them after "we have come thru" the bad things or hardships in our lives.



For everyone else's information it was only a question. I wasnt on any one--i was asking her if that wasnt pretty young to be having sex??? And to have a baby at 13--her stuff isnt even 1/2 grown up yet. I was concerned about her being pregnant at 13--not bytching or complaining or judging her. I was judging-- no one--but all ya'all off the boat---judging me again. Why cant ya'all just stop. I dont understand you pple. Take me how I say things ---not how you assume I am. Havent you ever heard what assume --means??? There was absolutely nothing wrong with my question??? It was just a question!!

Well first let me say I wish the best for you. I am 7 weeks pregnant today and I am only 16 so I can't say to much because I am still young to although soon enough I will be old enough to make my own decisions. I think that you and I both are to young to have babies but we have to take responsibilty for what we did. Sooner or later things will get better no matter what because god is always working and doing new things. Just keep your head up and when you think that this is the worse thing that could ever happen to you think that things are worse and you are not the only one in the world in this type of situation!!!Good luck!!!!!!

Yeah--you never know "who" your children will become. And that is just another reason why I do not agree with abortion. I mean, even though we make mistakes(sex outta marriage, sex at 13, 16 etc. Etc...).God could be giving us the greatest person, we cant even imagine. Who will they be, will they be a great president, maybe one of the greatest "soul savers" in this generation, for just a couple examples. Praise .God for all of these children, whether the mother's are 13---or 58. I think the oldest person to have baby was 58--i could be wrong.

.God bless you all

Wow exactly, I wish you the best. You are definitely brave, and you also seem like you're mature and know how to look at the bright side of things. :) keep us posted on how you're doing and if you need anything :)

my best friend just had her first baby and although it's very hard when he's screaming or up in the middle of the night, every time he smiles at her it makes it all worth while. But once again good luck :) i'll be praying for u.

Hi everyone again! Sorry if I got offended but I get a lot of comments like that and it gets annoying after a while and plus you cant like hear someones tones online of how they are saying something. Ya know!
Yes my family is supportive we are keeping the baby. The guy that is the babies dad has never really been my boyfriend he's just my friend. His parents said they will make sure he stays invovled with the baby. We are still friends. I guess its kind of a weird situation bit everyone is keeping a positive attitude about it. The people that got most upset were my grandparents I feel really bad cause I really hate to hurt someone like that
i guess I didn't really think I could get pregnant if he pulled out if you know what I mean
thanks everyone for talking to me!

Sorry ...I am not trying to start anything but the girl came on here to talk and get advice not hear about religion...I am getting tired of everyone fighting about religion when the thread wasnt even about religion..If she wanted a religious input im sure she would have asked for it ...But that I dont see ..Everyone has their own beliefs and everyone needs to understand that here..None of us will ever get along if religion is brought into everything...Dont get me wrong I think its perfectly normal to talk about religion but ..Thats not the case here...People try to use religion as a way to make someone feel bad ...The girl is 13 yeah she is young ..But she is pregnant and cant change that...But anyways ...Good luck hun with your baby ..And im sure you will be perfectly fine..!!
