Young Parents

Hi there everyone, I just had some stuff I wanted to let out. I have been signed up to a website called BabyCenter.com since my first pregnancy. It's basically a site made for women or even men who are trying to conceive, are pregnant or who have kids already. I was just looking through some active threads and realized how many young parents there are and how most of them - probably around 95% of these couples breakup. The past week I've seen maybe 3 or 4 threads about how a young mother is now a single young mother. It disturbs me to think that these young couples are having sex unprotected knowing the risks, then getting pregnant (when in most cases they do not or would not have the means to support the child), deciding to keep the child/ren (as in not giving it up for adoption - I am against abortions except in extreme cases) and expect there to be no problems to occur. What I mean by problems is any type of problem that could cause a young couple to want to breakup. In most cases I see that the boys are leaving their pregnant girlfriend or girlfriend and child/ren because there are too many problems (and yes I know that it is not only men who leave that it can be the women too). THERE ARE GOING TO BE PROBLEMS plain and simple especially for younger couples. No matter who you are there are going to be problems in life but It's just sad to think about, knowing that these precious little beings are going to have a torn up heart growing up because they can't have both parents around -  I know what It's like growing up without a father and it DOES tear you up inside. Now I know that not all young parents give up as soon as trouble or problems hit them and I'm also not trying to bash on young parents since I am one - 19 with a 15 month old son and 3 months pregnant with my second - I also understand that even a full grown man or woman may be immature to the point of not taking care of their chil/ren. I guess what I'm trying to say in all this is I wish people would make better choices - especially concerning someone else's life, their own child/ren. Once again hoping for mankind to better themselves
GoodNight
