I think it really depends on the person, their situation and where their from (its just I know Australia's alot different than UK/USA).
I mean, school in Australia isn't really a big deal unless you want to be a lawyer or a doctor. For a simple career that will have you and your family looked after for the rest of your life and not leave you struggle, it doesn't take much. You can drop out at 16, then go off to TAFE (its like, a local college). Or you can do a course over the internet, easy as. I don't support teen pregnancys, but I don't not support them. So over here its just so much easier by the sounds. I mean, I think the most important part in Australia would be being in a stable relationship, with a supportive boyfriend with a good job, girls wouldn't even worry one bit about working or school. This is really sad but after we have a baby over here, especially if we're young, theres no stuggle at all with money, we're so supported by Centrelink that we would possibly even be better off being a single mum with no job! Sad I know.
I still think you know, it's something that can wait. So many girls think their in love when their not, I think if you waited a bit longer, actually found the right guy, then it wouldn't be such a bad thing. I'm not really sure what I'm saying, I'm rambling on and hoping it makes sense to you guys
I think the irresponsible side of planned teen pregnancies to me is when your still living at home, your parents are still supporting you, you've got no path in life sort of thing, it's like why not wait until you and your OH are well off and you have your own place sort of thing, if you get me?
But in saying that, its responsible for girls to fall pregnant as well, of course every situation is different of course. Not trying to offend anyone at all
I'm just saying, I was very aware that I could fall pregnant, I was on no form of contraception and my OH wasn't even pulling out (even though aparently that doesn't always work of course, lol) but hows that any more responsible than the girls that are set and plan it? Do you know what I mean? Obviously some girls are using contraception at the time they fall pregnant, thats just unlucky I guess.
I'm really not trying to offend anyone, I was one of them girls that fell pregnant because I didn't use contraception, so any girls that fell pregnant the same way I did should understand completely! 
And as for Angel.Mummy, I believe you TTC after a loss? I do understand this, I mean even if its not the most responsible thing in the world to do, I guess you would have adjusted to having a baby, then had a m/c, it would have been heartbreaking so therefore you wanted another baby. You sound like your well off compared to others your age, good luck honey.
I understand when girls are saying 'but your boyfriend could walk out,' completely true, I have huge faith in my OH, I believe with all my heart, and I know he does that we'll be together forever. He's amazing and I know he loves me. But anything at all could happen, I'm not scared of it happening to me because I'm just so confident, but theres so many girls that felt the same way, then their OH's have walked out, so be careful that's all, especially if you rely on your OH's income, I do at the moment, but I wouldn't when the baby was born, but he'll be around anyways
Wow sorry, that's really long, maybe a little bit pointless, I know what I was saying I'm not sure if yous do though
pregnant brain kicking in!
. no i honestly couldn't imagine doing this without the support of my family they have been amazing through my loss and everything. xxx
