[QUOTE="Fran, post: 239389, member: 3"] Heather, I find teen pregnancy incredibly self absorbed thinking(by teens) with all the birth control methods available. No thought to the well being and life of the child. Sex happens but pregnancy doesn't have to be the outcome. On the other end of the spectrum, although the teens life change forever it is not the end of the world. They have made their lives very very hard and they will work forever to support their child even if they had fantasies of another kind of life. Maybe they self sabotaged themselves because they can't live up to their fantasy. I feel sad for teens who miss their opportunity to grow up gradually as most teens do. These two will jump into the real world of adulthood ready or not. This is a good time to step back and wait for them to ask for advice.(even though they know it all)LOL. I would feel so sad that my son's cheated themselves out of a life that was full of experiences before taking on parenthood but that is the consequence. My son's can't say they didn't know. I hope these two keep their eyes open, get expert counseling and make the best choice possible for the baby and for themselves. It's gut wrenching when you know how hard it is to raise a child.
