If your teen was having a baby

would you want your child to marry the person they're having the baby with (assuming they're still together)?

I'm watching the 16 and Pregnant reunion on MTV and most
(I think all) of the parents are still together and a few of them are married now or getting married.

No I wouldn't make them marry the person.... I didn't and glad I didn't cause then we'd be having a divorce battle right now bad enough the teen is having a baby!!!

Not like, MAKE them get married, but would you support them if they did want to get married and would you want them to?

I would have her total support only if he as proven to truly love her & she him!!! but if they are on the ups & downs then I would not support it one bit!!!

Personally, no. I'd want his/her main focus to be on the baby and getting through school.
I don't think we need to add a wedding into the mix. If they're still together when they're 18 or whatever, then they can do what they want.

I believe it depends very much on the teenage couple. Do tey have feasible security to have a family? Do they have a long term plan that incorporates a realistic scheme? These are the questions I ask myself, as an adult. If the baby or twins coming can be properly cared for by the young birds, then I vouch for them. We have to contend ourselves with how well the future would be shaped by the teenage parents, how mature they are and how they have security to raise the child in. Bringing children into the world is something best thought of before hand, a responsibility fit only for those who have the means both in mind and have a home for the children.

No

I'd be having kittens!!!

i would support my child 100% and if it happened were very young teen's i'd still support them,cos the female is pregnant,i wouldn't make him marry the girl but i would insist he plays a real role in the chil's upbringing and finacially support the child,and if they did want to marry i'd support that as well,my belief you can support the child in there decisions but it is there decision x

lol... i'm not even a teenager and i didn't marry my boyfriend when i got pregnant; i certainly wouldn't expect my kid to do it...

these kinds of situations have to be felt out when they happen... i have no idea how i would handle it because i'm not (or he's not) in the situation so we don't have that sense of which direction to go with it... i wouldn't even make a plan for it; i would just deal with it as it came...

Is the pregnant teenager prepared for raising the child she will give birth to? Will she be mentally mature enough to know how to? These are the questions we must contend ourselves with. It's no good if the parent is still a child in mind and she has to raise one herself. If somehow she matures enough then she could. I reckon by sixteen we can be developed enough given the right connections and education.

If I had a girl who was pregnant, I'd probably want to kill the person who got her pregnant, let along have her marry them.
Then I'd probably go the pro-abortion way.

They'd wait til they were 18 here, I wouldn't give my consent for them to marry before they could do it without my permission if you what I mean?
