I can do you one better. I took care of a baby kitten a friend of mine found on the side of the road for 4 days. I slept a grand total of 5 hours in those four days, and that was in one go because I begged my mother to take the thing for a bit. xD
I did my partner's homework for every other class to get them to keep the doll the whole time, everything was brilliant after that.

We were paired up a boy and a girl as partners. It was a two week assignment- the boy had to keep it one week and the girl the next.
It is disturbing....they should have had their license to breed revoked.

Lol. I would take the batteries out. With all the babysitting I've done, I get it, it's hard. I don't need a demonstration that turns me into a b*tchy demon because I didn't get in at least six hours a night.

Yeah taking the batteries out resulted in an automatic F- and since this was our mid term...no. Couldn't take an F.

Hm... eight hours of sleep... or an F... honestly, it's a toss up. No babies. No.

Let's add another question to this: What should a teen girl do if she was pregnant? Should she have an abortion, keep the baby, or put it up for adoption. State your answer in cases of both rape and willing sex.
I'm asking this because I don't get WHY so many people actually KEEP the baby instead of putting it up for adoption. I'm completely anti-abortion in all cases, but that doesn't mean that a person's whole life has to be ruined. It's just...put on hold for nine months. The child should be with a family that can support it. What're your opinions?

I am strictly against abortion, but in cases of rape, a girl shouldn't have to be a victim any longer than the event. If abortion is what it takes to move past an event like that for a girl, they should. An extra nine months of suffering is not what they deserve. But if possible, keep the baby alive. Then give is up for adoption.
In cases of getting pregnant because you weren't smart enough to use protection, abortion is not an option. At all. You carry the baby for nine months if for nothing else but as punishment. Then put the baby up for adoption because odds are you can't support the baby the way you need to.

I am anti-abortion- unless it comes to rape or incest. Otherwise, I think that depends on a case by case situation. Some people can't see ever giving it up. In some cases the baby causes the mother to grow up- and potentially even saves her life pulling her off a road of bad choices. Other teen mothers don't grow up and don't mature enough to take care of the child.
Having a baby as a teenager does NOT ruin your life, well doesn't have to. I happen to have a very close friend that got pregnant at 16 and graduated hs at 17 before the baby was born and was a year behind when she got pregnant, went onto college and graduated and has a great steady job. She loves her child dearly and would never have considered giving him up. He saved her life in her eyes. There is a stereotype out there that girls that are teen moms have to drop out of highschool to raise the child, they can't work. No this isn't true.

I understand abortion in the case of rape... But, personally, I would never do it myself. In my eyes, it isn't the baby's fault that the rape occurred and it shouldn't have to die. Again though, I don't judge rape victims who do have abortions.

I can't say one way or the other. Not being a female I don't think it's my decision. That being said I think everything happens for a reason, even the bad things.

Its up to the the party's involved when life decisions like this come along, I just think abortion should be legal. Make up your mind if you want to go their just so long as quality medical care is made available.

The early ones I can...bear..but the late term abortions are just sick in my opinion. |

I agree. Honestly, I think that everything depends on what kind of situation the mother is in. I would probably put the kid up for adoption. I'd be afraid that, at this point, I couldn't give he/she a good enough life. In the case of rape, abortion, at least in the first three months, would be a must for me.

I'm very anti-abortion. Now I don't blame those who suffered rape or incest for getting one, but I know I'd personally give birth to the child and give it up for adoption. The child didn't have a choice in who provided his or her chromosomes and is as much a victim as I would be in that situation. I believe in the right to life, and the only situation I could accept an abortion would be if having the child would kill me.
That being said, people who go out, have consensual intercourse, and get pregnant shouldn't be allowed an abortion unless having the child is life threatening to the mother. The act these people find fun is designed for reproduction. It's not unexpected when it happens; it's the way the system was wired up in the first place. If someone thinks they're responsible enough to have the fun, they need to be responsible enough to accept the consequences. Give the child up for adoption if you don't wish to keep them. Let someone else love them if you can't. Killing a child just because you don't want to face the consequences is selfishness on a truly disgusting level.
