pregnant (hypothetical)

Recommended Posts

The question was "Say you're a selfish teenager, not done living your life, and certainly not ready, nor financially or mentally able to be responsible for another life. You've accidentally gotten someone pregnant. What do you do?"

Hypothetical of course. well, sorta. I got someone pregnant and it ended in a miscarriage right as i was getting ready to swim to cuba. But it's hypothetical now. I wouldn't have been able to make it to cuba anyways, and anyone who would simply abandon a pregnant woman is a horrible person. So, i don't know what i would've done. I assume i would've stayed with her, but i was wondering what u guys woulda done in my situation

Heh. 3 more tips.

1) Spray and pray only works in first person shooters.

2) Most young girls who say they got pregnant, and had a miscarriage are full of it. Some do have them, but you will find most of it is a big head game.

3) Check to see if it is worth risking pregnancy. Punch yourself in the pouch then see if you still want to do it.

Brsingr. This is what you do. Wear a condom. If it breaks? Get her to a Planned Parenthood and purchase plan B. I recommend you pay for her, it's like $20.00

(Both your mind and hers will be racing, as i'm sure you experienced. You taking control and taking care of things puts her at ease and typically she will not over think the situation. Over thinking is never a good thing in these situations - many of you might disagree but your wrong.)

If she gets pregnant and you never realized fast enough to get plan B, which has a 3 day period of effectiveness then take her to Planned Parenthood anyway and get an abortion. $300.00 is a significant sum of cash, but I guarantee it will be much cheaper (fiscally, emotionally, and even to society) than any other possible solution.

If any girl is not willing to go through any of the above then do not sleep with her. She's crazy! :-P

Or just take her to a lot of carnival/roller coaster rides ...or maybe punch her in the stomach a lot.

....That last part is a joke. The rest of it isn't. :D - I have included links to the proper places. I would like everyone to read the abortion part. It's definitely not glamorous by any means, though it is not what people think it is.

Abortion is nothing to be taken lightly. It might lead to infertility as well as to serious psychological problems. I know of a case where a young woman aborted and later desparately wanted to get a child but did not get pregnant again.

I suggest if you are not ready to be parents be bright enough to have contraceptives with you (agree with Mudder on the pill after however).

Good call Mali.

You bring up some controversial issues alot of time man. This one is a no brainer. If you grew up without a father, think how that felt alot of the time. If you grew up with a supportive father, would you want to rob an innocent kid of that? The world is a cruel place, ESPESCIALLY now. You would lose all respect for yourself, and so would your friends. There is a line between a boy and a man, if you cross that line and try to do things a man does, then be prepared to take on the responsibilities of a man. Im not laying into you, I just feel pretty strongly about this type of thing, as my dad was there til I was about 6, then left my mom and left us dry. You do not want to doom a family to a life of scraping by.

I was in a similar situation. If you care about the girl, keep tabs on her... make sure she's okay. Whether or not you, or she, were ready to be a parent this whole thing must be hell on her. Absolute hell. And you were told of the situation before it happened, not after, so you've got a better plus than I did.

I'm pro choice, but it will never be a choice for me. Any women that I get pregnant will not have me around if she has an abortion. I may not be in the best situation to have children, and she may not be either, but I won't be responsible for the creation and death of a part of me. Also, what I have learned is they're ALWAYS lying when they say, "But I can't get pregnant."

Can't man up and be responsible with sex? Don't have it. Further, if you still want "adult time" and won't be responsible (like I was), man up and take care of your child. Can't do either? Drive to Nevada and Pay for it legally... but odds are they'll be responsible for you.

Brsignr, I don't envy the next year or so for you. The relief is only outdone by the grief... which is really odd. Keep strong, and keep tabs on her. She'll need the shoulder. And should it turn to another body part- wrap your stump before you ... well, you know. Be strong, and keep trucking on, man. Good luck.

You have to man up and take care of the kid. That is your responsibility. NO arguments there at all. Anyone who abandons their child should be kicked in the arse.

The biggest mistake very young parents make is GETTING MARRIED. Awful thing to do. You cannot base a relationship off a child. It is old fashioned logic to think that is the right thing to do. It will cause a great deal more harm to raise a child in a bad relationship than to have two happy but separate parents that love and care for the child.

Now assuming you are in a very happy relationship and are butt crazy in love - move in together - see how that fits. A child changes you. A spouse changes you. Together.. I hope you see my point.
