Do you think its okay for teens to be actively trying to conceive?
**I am a teen mother myself ( not purposely ), so in no way am i bashing teen mothers**
Recently I joined a facebook group for teen/young mothers, well there was a post and the post said
“ How old were you when you had your first, and was it on purpose or accident? “
I was so shocked at how many teens purposely tried to get pregnant, or were still trying to get pregnant, i’m talking like 13-16 year olds.
Well, today there was a post from a girl in the group and it said
“ I am 16 years old, I had my first at 14 and shes 2 now, I think i want to try and get pregnant again, can I get others opinions? “
I seemed to be the only one to comment something “ negative “( I say “ negative “ because everyone else was telling her that its okay and to do it ) saying “ I don’t think teens should be actively trying to conceive “ and got kicked out of the group?
I just want to hear others opinions on this, because maybe i’m being too judgmental, and maybe there’s a good reason for it, i don’t know. A lot of people there seemed to be super supportive of the idea. 🤷🏼♀️
