“I think people who get pregnant are stupid. Yeah, okay they can't help being stupid. They only have sex because they think everyone else in their school/year group is doing it. It's goddamn stupid. Kids get this idea into their head, that they have to fit in. And most parents that have kids young, are stupid or uneducated. Okay, you have some that have a baby cause they love each other and for the right reasons. But then, sometimes, they end up resenting the child cause it stopped them from doing things that they wanted to do, stops them from having the career they wanted. People should wait till they've been to college and been to Uni or left college and gotten a good job. It's insulting more to the child to have it young, and make it go through life without things they need and thinking down of their parents.”

I on the other hand, think that it is personal choice as to when people get pregnant. Yes, some people are too young when they conceive, but by the same token, there are older parents out there who abuse their children. How do they have more right to have a child than young people who will, quite probably love that child? My friend is 19, and is currently seven months pregnant. She has been with her boyfriend for a year, and they are currently engaged. Yes, I was shocked and yes, I was disappointed when I first found out, but when I realised how happy she is and how much she’s going to love her little girl, (she’s found out for certain) I couldn’t help but be over the moon for her.

That's all I have to say really.

Over and out.
