are pregnant teens more mature than all the other girls?

Question

they sure do act like it, even though they werent mature enough to keep their legs closed

Answer 1

I don't think they are - sure, there are some teenagers who cope fine with parenthood, but in general I think it is a very immature thing to do falling pregnant at such a young age.

Answer 2

I can't say all preg teens are more mature than the others but a vast majority of them are. Now, they may have made a bad decision by having sex unportoceted or otherwise - but does that make them any less of a better person or any less mature? No.

The reason I believe being pregnant makes you more mature is because you are faced with endless responsibilities, and no way to go back and fix it. What's done is done. You have no choice but to grow up and face what it comming. You are going to be the nurturer to someone else. You are going to care for another life above your own. A lot of preg teens realize this, and that is what makes them mature. They are facing parenthood. Which believe me, is no easy feat.

The maturity issue in all of this is being accountable for your actions, taking responsibility.....Other teen girls don't have anywhere near the choices to make, or responsiblity to take care of...so how can they be more mature when they have never faced something of this aptitude? There biggest problems are thier grades, clothes, and which boy is asking them out. A mother has so much more to tend to.

I know, because I got pregnant at 17, got married when I was 18. Now I am almost 21, and I see I missed out on a lot. But to me it was worth it. Yeah, I grew up a lot faster than some other girls, but so what? Look at what I have. I wouldn't trade my 2 kids for the world.

FYI for the one that said something about having one with a 2 yr old. My son will be 2 in dec, my daughter will be 1 in nov. And even though things were hard. I, myself, WOULD do it over again. Don't speak on something you know nothing about.

Answer 3

The pressure of soon becoming a teen mother may make them have to grow up real quick like. They may be worried and stressed out about the baby coming into their lives. This alone could make them seem more mature. The sad fact is, teen mothers have a very difficult road ahead of them. Being a young mother along with the pressure and emotional instability of just being a teenager is a tough thing to handle.

Answer 4

Are you kidding me? You can't tell me that a 10 or 11 year old are mature. Even at 16 they aren't mature or they wouldn't be in that situation to begin with.

Sure babies are cute but you have the responsibility to take care of the once they are here. Not an easy task!!!

If after they have their baby they are still going out with there friends instead of taking care of their baby that just shows how immature they really are!!

Answer 5

You've answered your own question. If they were mature they wouldn't be pregnant. I'm assuming that the majority were not planning it, anyway! Getting knocked up is not a sign of maturity. many people think having sex is a way of showing you're an adult, but sex is a natural instinct so the urge is automatic. Controlling that urge and being responsible - that's where maturity comes into it.

Answer 6

What the point? Once they have thier children, they have no choice but to be mature and grow up fater than most girls are age. Im not a teen now but I WAS a teen mom and I find myself to be way more mature than most of my friends. All younger mothers are like that. You dont even know the situation, she could have been raped, she could have been tricked by some no good man, You dont know it, so thats wrong to say they were so damn mature to get pregnant in the 1st place. Know the fu cking facts b4 u judge.

Answer 7

They think they're mature because they're being brave enough to keep the baby. But that's just a cheap façade. They're just as immature as the rest of 'em — and then some.

Answer 8

Pregnant teens ?! Hell no, that's the moment when they just show off...; unfortunently they WILL be more mature than the other teens when they'll actually have the baby and see how difficult it is to be a mother

Answer 9

No, because they relaly don't know what its like being a mother yet and they usually want to go out and have fun, but They can't because they are a parent now the first thing that comes first is that child and nothing else.

Answer 10

Maybe they act like it because they just learned the REALLY hard way by making a big mistake. Maturity comes from learning and evolving emotionally and taking responsibility for the actions and decisions you make.



Not adding up your birthdays or having your period. You sound pretty immature yourself, maybe you have been bitten by the green eyed monster. Hmmmm?

Answer 11

no they are not, they just have a huge responsibility handed to them and have no choice about looking after it. If you were to ask any pregnant teen, or better one with a 2 year old if they had the choice all over again I do not thinl they would choose pregnancy

Answer 12

being pregnant doesn't make you any more mature than you were before you got pregnant (which for a teen is not mature at all).

Answer 13

Well I think that was pretty dumb of them to get pregnant if they were teens, but I guess they had to grow up quickly since they had to take care of a child even though there childern.

Answer 14

no, they're not mature in the fact that they couldn't control their desires....they've just been forced to grow up so much faster b/c they've had kids when they're still a teenager! they've missed out on all of the fun things that teenagers should be able to do. that's what makes them seem more mature, but in reality they're not.

Answer 15

its pretty much a yes and no question. no because they were immature for getting pregnant to begin with and yes because when their baby is born, they have to be mature. Once they have a baby, theyre pretty much not a kid anymore they have to grow up.

Answer 16

Absolutely not, its the exact opposite. They have no idea what's about to happen to there lives. It's quite sad actually and the baby will be the one who suffers because of there stupidity.

Answer 17

No they aren't....Just because they are pregnant doesn't make them a bit more mature...



And you are right about them spreading their legs......

That is not being very mature in my book...

Answer 18

Pregnant teens are not mature--children having children? They pretend to be but really, they are not.

Answer 19

NO they are not more mature - only forced to act that way because they were not mature enough to use protection.

Answer 20

it seems so, but they arent, bcuz they werent mature enough to practice abstinense, but they seem mature bcuz they go through alot, which is like a learning experience 4 them

Answer 21

No, quite the opposite I would say. It reinforces the fact that they are still children themselves.

Answer 22

mature girls are smart enough not to put themselves in bad situations. by no means are pregnant teens more mature than teens who are smart enough to A)wait to have sex until they are mature and B) intelligent enough to use protection if they are engaging in sex.

Answer 23

Parents will always be more mature than the childless. They have another life besides their's to look out for.

Answer 24

no.. they wern't mature in the first place to go and get pregnant

Answer 25

No they are not. They say they are. But unless they are already married. Then that is a different story.

Answer 26

no because they are immature enough to make a big mistake in their life.

Answer 27

Answer 28

being pregnant does not have anything to do with being mature.

Answer 29

the other girls who are still virgins are more mature.
