I don't know anyone personally who has gotten pregnant under 18, but I have a few friend of a friends as well as people I know over the Internet.

Well I guess I am one of the stupid ones also. I got pregnant when I was 15 and had the baby when I was 16. And I don't think that kids should be punished the punishment for me was giving up on all the things I loved and all the dreams I had for myself to grow up very fast and start caring for this newborn I had just given birth to. I am not advocating teenage pregnancy but I don't think that I am stupid I just made a mistake. A mistake that I love and care for and still today provide for. I would not change what I did for anything in the world. If I could go back and do it again I would.
And do you think that girls that have abortions and give there babies up should be punished to or only the stupid ones that keep and take responsibility for there actions?
Anyway I have two little girls one when I was 16 she will be 9 in Sep. ( and I'm also married to her father and am a stay at home mom) and I have a 4 year old who will be 5 in June and I was 21 when I had her.
