Well I am not going to say
"yes", nor am I going to say "no"; it is your body. If
you have not got the apparatus to get pregnant, you might have the things
needed to get some one else pregnant and the issues are more or less the
same. |

Obviously there is some difference
depending upon your age. Most of the visitors to this site will be doing
their GCSEs which means they are between 14 and 16, though anyone is
entitled to visit these pages and record their views. |

You have rights, but when you
become a parent you will realize that your children have rights too. |
|
|
Can you balance your rights with those
of your children? |
|
|
When does an individual acquire
rights?
At conception?
At 24 weeks?
At birth?
On developing language?
At 14?
At 18?
At 21?
Perhaps there is more than one answer. It is very
difficult for you to assert your rights before you learn to speak. You
have a right to be fed, so when you are hungry, you cry or scream and hope
that a suitable response will satisfy your needs. When you can speak, you
may not know what your rights are, or may be unable to assert your rights.
Perhaps you acquire more rights as you get older.
You may be biologically able to become a parent, but are legally prevented
from sexual intercourse. Do you have the right to become a parent as soon
as you are legally of age? |
|
|
Are there duties corresponding to your
rights? |
|
|
Perhaps your rights to become a parent
are combined with duties toward your children. So are you able to fulfill
those duties? |

People make such a big deal out of teenage pregnancy, i mean if a person
gets pregnant they r automatically looked down on. I think that kids have
kids underage, coz they feel that is the only way they can feel
independant, and they want a bit of attention. something like 40% of
teenage pregnacy were planned, thats quite alot-considering! i think there
should b more support 4 expectant mothers. thanx

i think teenage pregnancy is a very serious matter
that is not treated seriously enough. Contraception is not as available as
it should be, as many people feel too embarrassed to go into a chemists
and buy condoms etc. ideally, contraceptoin and all aspects of sex should
be taught from the age of 10. I was not taught at school until i was about
12.

I believe that teenagers are much too young to parent children. I
think that in today's world we are bombarded with sex until our natural
moral instincts are numbed or destroyed, and the pressure to yield to our
passions is very great. To parent children is a great privilege- a
gift of God, not a 'side-effect' of sex, but its very purpose and
fulfilment. I also believe that any sexual relations should be
within the bond of marriage, and that this is the best 'framework' for the
raising of children. Besides, with all the pressure on us teenagers
regarding exams and careers, I cannot see how it is possible for anyone to
give a child the attention it needs and deserves.

I think that people should have more respect for their kids. If they are
the ones that had kids they have to understand now that they have to do
the dishes and take their kids wherever they want because it was their
choice not ours therefor they should have the responsability for us!!!!!!!

unless you are prepared to give EVERYTHING up and can give the baby
EVERYTHING it needs

It's up to a person .If they think they're stupid, go on. I mean is in becoming a
parent, it's a very big responsibility. Don't just think about sex. |
