Should we be giving advice to or trying to help 16 year olds get pregnant?

Honest question.





I've seen 16 year olds come on here and plead to help them figure out their fertility.....and when you tell them it's not such a hot idea, you get reported with an oh so nice violation. Fair? Nope. Truth....yes. Not a hot idea.....





How is this right?





Would you condone and help YOUR 16 year old daughter if she came to you and asked the best way to get pregnant?Should we be giving advice to or trying to help 16 year olds get pregnant?
I would not help her, I would try to educate her as to why it is a dumb idea, try to get her on the pill, have another sex ed conversation etc . . . as to on Yahoo Answers, I usually ';try'; to avoid the obvious 16 y/o questions . . . but sometimes it is tough to resist their stupidity.Should we be giving advice to or trying to help 16 year olds get pregnant?
I don't think anyone would purposely help a minor get pregnant. For the most part, on this web site it's not like we KNOW for a fact how old someone is. Unless they post it in their question. This is a FREE public web site, and while their are rules and regulations to using the site, there is no sure fire method of knowing how old someone is. And some of these kids do speak like adults. And you can't tell their age from their typing, only some of them show their age through their typing. If you feel concerned about this issue, then perhaps you should refrain from answering ANY question that could POSSIBLY be a young child, who is acting like an adult and pretending to be older than they are.





I know there have been several questions I have seen on here, that's it clear that it's a child posting the question, I just skip over then and ignore them.
i have never seen a question like that...do they put their age on there? if they do then they should no they are just setting their selves up to be jumped all over. if i seen a question like that i wouldnt be able to stop my self i would have to tell them how stupid it is! if i get reported at least i know they read it and got my message!
I don't answer their questions. Simple. I only answer questions when someone is married and trying to get pregnant or are in a serious relationship and the age of 18 years old or older. . .
eeewwww........


too bad we cant shove our fists through the comp screen and knock their teeth down their throat!!!!
I would absolutely NOT help my daughter or any other teenager get pregnant. I would, however, help her learn why she shouldn't get pregnant at a young age. I would find out about local parenting classes for her to attend so she can see exactly what parenting is about. I would also have her volunteer at a childcare facility or youth program in our area. I would also get her some literature (birthing videos, parenting videos, and some books on the not so pleasant things that happen during pregnancy-stretch marks, veins, etc). I am sure these would be eye openers! I feel education on any subject is key. Yelling, grounding and such will not help. I would also suggest counseling and find out if there is a reason why a teenager would want to be a mother so young.





This is what I would do.





As for the girls that get on here that are teenagers and are wanting advice on getting pregnant, I completely ignore these questions and don't answer at all. Some of them may just be on here for attention or as a joke. I feel no response is the best method in dealing with these girls. Also there maturity is shown by the fact that they ';thumbs down'; or report anyone that disagrees with them or doesn't give them the answer they are expecting to hear. This alone shows they are not mature enough to be a mom. If you are not open to suggestions don't ask for advice.





Just my opinion!
