Andre, that's basically what others have said. Not all of them keep their word, though. Once they find out it IS true, many teen fathers make as many excuses to not be involved at all. I'm not saying all of them, though. I'm sure there are a few who stood by their side, because the baby is the parents' responsibility. Course, that's only a few. </font>[/quote]Actually if you look at the statistics that the ACC (Agencey for Child Care) issue bi-monthly. Nearly 85% of all unplanned pregnancies involve both parents taking some form of responsibility, be it financial or otherwise. So the fathers that don't stick with the kid is actually the less likely choice being made by todays parents.
The problem is, that you never hear about the fathers that stayed and took the responsibility like a Real Man. We always here about the Fathers that ran and hid from it, so by word of mouth it makes sense to think that the majority of teen age fathers don't step up to the plate.
I had my first sexual experience at 17 and had my first child shortly before I graduated from College. Teen sex should be determined by the individuals. Obviously some teens still play with their action figures while others are driving cars and going to clubs. So as long as their life styles and maturity level can help them cope with the rammifications of having sex early on, then i say GO BALLS DEEP PEOPLE !!
