Thread: Do you think that young people getting pregnant is becoming a trend?

A lot of people on Facebook are getting pregnant, and other young mothers. They shop online for maternity outfits like it's the trend or something. What's going on with the world? Do you believe that it's true or just because people think so?

I agree with the first answer. l live in the UK and they get absolutely everything. Benefit, a house and free nursery care.

Teen pregnancy has always happened. You just hear more of it now because of Y!A, facebook, support groups, and TV/movies/radio.

I mean, my mother was a teen mom. Two of my aunts on my father's side were teen moms. And my father's family was religious, so it was a big shock! This was all 20+ year ago they got pregnant as teens. A few peers' parents were teen parents. My friend's mother had her at 15.

Yes, it has. It's saddening to see children having children. My friend is 17 and pregnant and the guy is no longer in her life. There are so many problems with getting pregnant young.

The young have always had children,what do you mean by young,someone in their late teens or early twenties or 12 year olds,generally speaking more young people start families as opposed to old people or is old to you someone in their thirties.

Yes! it's ridiculous! Most of them are idiots!

there have always been young mothers but modern media make the situation more visible to the rest of the population

I think that it is being glamorized by having a teen pregnancy. Look at the show teen mom. Yeah it shows some of the difficulties that they face about being parents but I feel like it more or less shows the moms and look at how cute these little babies are. So when teens watch that they think that it is some magnificent life that they want. Also I feel like some people do it to get there boyfriend to stay with them.

there arent many teenagers getting pregnant to be truthfull its just the media blowing it all out of proportion and making it sound like loads of teens are getting pregnant when in actual fact its only a small percentage of the teenage poulation that are getting pregnant.
