Pregnant Teenaged Daughter

That boy threatened to leave you if you didn’t sleep with him,
But now that you are pregnant he has moved on to pastures new,
Your mother and I are here to help you raise our grandchild.

Moral support is so important. I'm a great grandfather and the birth of my great grandson did wonders for my son and granddaughter. God bless. Vince

A lot of young girls are fooled by the intentions of men. At least this one had parents who stood by her when she needed help raising the baby. This is a great entry for the contest Jack. Good luck, Diane

I liked this, teenage pregnancy is just an impulse with bad judgement. Proven fact the decision making part of your brain is not fully developed, until you are in your mid 20's.. cory

Sounds to be a real event so many people can relate to it, jack. I appreciate the stand taken by the mother

I was a grandmother at 37 so I can relate to this one, but my independant daughter worked and supported her son with no help from the boy. she has since moved on married and had more children . life only holds you down if you let it. wonderful entry for the contest Jack , good luck

That's as it should be with the parents standing by their daughter's side, Jack. Even though I was quite innocent in my teen years, my mother always told me that if I got pregnant, she would help me. Young boys promise many things, but their feelings change so quickly. An outstanding entry for Gwendolen's contest. Winning wishes for you, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

sad story but parents should be properly teaching their kids about this..educating them...discussing it openly...the effects of what happens..choices that end up being made etc..have you considered adoption to places like Jewels for Jesus Adoption agency? her whole life is now on hold, no college etc..
