[Darth Tyranus]

Many of you don't seem to grasp the seriousness of this situation, actually it seems none of you do.

True , this has alot of seriousness. But i mean , he is having it , so you'd you rather put him down and then have a baby with a broken home , or try to make the best of the situation regarless of other factors ?? Thats wat i think neways

[Darth Tyranus]

or try to make the best of the situation regarless of other factors

Are you try to sound like an idiot? This is not a "lets make the best of it" situation, have a child is extremely serious and NOT something to be taken lightly. And two 19 year old kids probably would make less than stellar parents. It would be in a kids best interest to not have kids.

[Megumi Oaks]

Darth, why does it matter to you what someone else does with their lives? Just because people would make a different decision than YOU would, doesn't mean their decision is wrong, or that you're right.

Aether, ignore Darth. Although, you had to expect some criticism. Posting this for all the board to see. That was just silly, but if you wanted to spread your business about, well, I'm glad you're proud of it.

And, just realize life isn't going to be all peachy. Babies are a responsibility. It's not just all fun. Life is going to have hard times, expecially with your age and most likely income. Just try your best.

[Tohru Sohma]

If they wanna have kids, it's they're decision. I wish good luck with your kid.

[Kilawher Shazarade]

I agree with Megumi. Darth, you are in no position to be saying those kinds of things. Just calm down.

And Aether, congratulations. I am glad you are happy. Please take good care of him/her. I'm sure you will.

[Masali]

calm down? he's right.
How in the hell is this GOOD news? you're what? 18-19? well aether, forget college! forget supporting that kid of yours, congradulations my friend YOU have seriously Fscked up.

[Megumi Oaks]

Masali, don't be ignorant. I have a friend at work who had a child at 17. She's two semesters away from graduating from UCCS. A FOUR year college. Better than many people do. She has her own place, and supports her child and herself just fine, with some child support from the father. She's happy, also. Imagine that. Seriously, you're being very closed-minded.

Is having a child at 19 the best decision? No. But, it's not a horrible one. People do it, and they DO go somewhere in life. Not all, granted. But, who's to say that has anything to do with having a child? You need to go re-evaluate your views on other people. No one is perfect. Life isn't about being perfect, it's about living.

It is serious... but it is also a happy ocassion... and instead of bring him down I want to be supportive... I think it may be a bad thing he got her preg. but if he is happy about it than we should be happy for him. Congrats on the child... I hope you can have an active role in the childs life. My mom had me at 18 I was an accident... SHE made it through collage with no support from my blood father. He wasnt there when I was born and has never been in my life. If you try hard enough you can get through this... life is precious and should be celebrated no matter what the situation.

oh Im sorry, I just thought paying 30,000 a year and supporting a child would be hard work, guess I have to re-examine my "ignorant closed minded" out look on life. sorry for clogging up the internet with my stupidy, because as you have so clearly stated, you are the sage of ethics and knowlage. my apologies, goddess.

[Megumi Oaks]

I didn't say it wasn't hard work. It -is-. But, life is hard. Good friggin' lord. If someone wants to have a child, then who are you to say that at this point in their life, it's the wrong decision? Huh? You don't live their life, you don't know.

And dear, having a child at ANY age is hard work. Being financial stable makes it a bit easier, but there are ways to get around that.

So, yeah. Their 19. Their age is the problem? Yet, it's ok for a 30 year old on welfare to have a child? Come on. Why don't you just lobby for a law to have people test to be able to parent children. Limit our freedoms. Yay. Sounds fun.

but are they WILLING to work that hard? at 19 all you want to do is go out, drink, have some fun. this means that you won't do that again until the child can look out for themselves the slightest bit. and Im hardly saying limit freedom, I just think horney teenagers should excersise a little bit of control before stickin their junk wherever there's hole.

[Darth Tyranus]

Life isn't about being perfect, it's about living.

And making good decisions.

Is having a child at 19 the best decision? No

Well I'm glad we got that straight.

it's not a horrible one.

It wasn't even a decision it was an accident.

Darth, why does it matter to you what someone else does with their lives? Just because people would make a different decision than YOU would, doesn't mean their decision is wrong, or that you're right.

Have you ever heard the word advice before? That's what i was giving you can take it or leave it but the fact remains children are a far more serious proposition then most kids going around scrweing each other care to realize.

And, just realize life isn't going to be all peachy. Babies are a responsibility. It's not just all fun. Life is going to have hard times, expecially with your age and most likely income. Just try your best.

Yeah just try your best, sadly your best doesn't always measure up to what a child needs. Leaving your parents to pick up the slack for your accident.

I have a friend at work who had a child at 17. She's two semesters away from graduating from UCCS. A FOUR year college. Better than many people do. She has her own place, and supports her child and herself just fine, with some child support from the father. She's happy, also. Imagine that. Seriously, you're being very closed-minded.

I too knew teen mothers going through school, but saying that their lifes sans child would be easier would be the understatement of the decade. And your friend is the exception not the rule.

I feel like digging up some of the unromantic truths on teen pregnancies just to show you how horrible this can turn out. I stand by what i said before, kids shouldn't have kids. I say teen/ early twenties parents hitting their kids in public because they have no idea how to be a good parent. The sign of a good parent is that your kids listen to you without ever having to raise your hand to them.

[Megumi Oaks]

Hmm. Control. You know, you can try as hard as you can, but you can't control things. Now, I'm going to bring a bit of my experience into this.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant. I was told I could never have children, because of endometriosis. So, did I go around and have unprotected sex? No. There's still STDs. So, I was using condoms, still. Yet, there it is. It happens. If I give up this child, there's a good chance I'll never have another one.

It's easy for you to sit there and pass judgement. Say what the "best" move for them would be. But, unless you've been through it, and made the decision, you don't know what it's like to face it. So, take off your preaching suit, son.
