Why do people come on here to answer questions only to abuse the asker?

I've always figured that some miserable people just like to be bullies anonymously and the Pregnancy category offers them the opportunity to be both hurtful and self-righteous. And they jump right on that.

And it could also be that some people want to be abusive from behind a screen no matter what. I know that a few people feel the need to be abusive or gross or just annoying in Women's Health. This is extremely common in questions asked by teenage girls there, usually normal "mom questions" asking for advice or just some reassurance. It's messed up.

Although I know what you mean and think it's stupid to give abuse when they just want advice, I can also see the flip side of this. You get hundreds of teenagers (and scarily some adults) asking the most ridiculous questions and expecting everyone on here to give them a conclusion. How can answerers do that when for instance they ask "am I pregnant", the answer is simple - we are not sticks you pee on, we're simply people who can give an opinion (opinion being the operative word here) but not a definite answer. The only genius answer we can give to that is "buy a pregnancy test"!

I think people get irritated by others asking the same old questions day in, day out to which none of us can give the proper answer, only the appropriate one. Some do take it a little too far I agree, and get abusive and nasty, some even appear to only be here to give abuse, calling girls 'whores' because they're young and have had sex. That is most definitely wrong and they should be reported, but it would also be nice to not read through a page of "am I pregnant" for once.

Doobie (how original) Bro - I had my son at 18, I am not 'gross' and my boobs do not look like 'socks blowing in the wind'. I bet your d*ck looks like nothing more than a dirty little grub. Oh I'm sorry love, is that why the b*tchiness from you? Because yours is so pathetic you have as much chance of getting someone pregnant as hell freezing over? Shame on you for slating all the wonderful and beautiful teenage mums out there.

You have a valid point but, as a female who was a teen before the internet became mainstream (in the home/library) and never dealt with being pregnant during my teen years, its a bit irksome to read posts about baby daddy's (not biological fathers) etc... when the Pill has been out since 1959 (nope, I'm not that old) and at least condoms have been around since Ancient Egyptian times (those are produced so much better now a days, used correctly around 99% effective) and are cheap enough for teens to purchase and without parental consent.

Said girl has internet access but can't Google sex, sex ed, or disease/birth control prevention/preventatives before doing it?

Its my body yet, I have no control or say what happens to it because of an idiot male (he doesn't provide the condom with spermicide for your convenience, he's not man enough or caring enough not to risk STD's and/or pregnancy). Sorry to inform you we are way past 'Splendor in the Grass' with our current age of technology.

It makes me think all the girls on the board where raped, trolls, or just don't care enough about their body and how it works, to spend five minutes on Google. Some women might have an issue with more illegitimate children/baby mama's burning the failing western welfare system. That's not my issue though. My issue is firmly seated with the 'My Body, My Choice' concept that was initiated in the 1960's (sexual revolution, ring a bell) the phrase means more than a right to abortion.

Part of choice is responsibility and the majority of these young females (not all) project a tone of irresponsibly of self that makes many people posting physically, cringe. Some want to protect the children from these fine upstanding girls but, we can't.

Just Google the statistics on what happens to the children of such unions later on in their lives, don't think of the exceptions but the general stats. Not a month goes by that I don't see a suspect boyfriend (shack up, shag buddy) not do something that winds up killing an infant, toddler, or kindergarten age child. This makes me sick. So, I lack sympathy for the self adsorbed twits that post and prefer to extend my empathy, sympathy, and prayers that the babies will be loved and protected.

Sorry, its not the answer your looking for but its fact based truth and heart felt.

I rarely go on the pregnancy section let alone answer questions. Probably for the same or similar reasons as people are abused here. At the end of the day these girls probably come onto Y!A because they're scared and can hide behind a user name. Girls will keep on falling pregnant even though they can easily get advice on contraception, sex education and by talking to others but it wont stop accidents happening, contraception failing and being raped. It doesn't hurt to give good advice.

Most of the time people in the pregnancy category are tired of the same question "Am I pregnant?" "Could I be pregnant" and " I am ____ years old and pregnant. What now!". Not saying all but it can be tire some to read those. Instead if putting rude answers I usually just skip the question lol.

If I could Like Amber's comment a million times I would ha ha ha ha

I dont get it either? People ask questions hoping others will help them and people answer with some of the meanest comments.

Because some people are stupid & don't have lives. You should go sign up on this site, there's TONS of moms, moms to be, teen mom,older moms, everything

Maybe they are just trying to make a point in hoping the teen would learn from her mistake and not repeat it again.

its mainly for the ones who come on and say 'i had unprotected sex am i pregnant' we are not doctors, we can not go through the computer screen and say 'yes, you are pregnant' or 'no you are not'.

they feel insecure of themselves or are just assholes lookin for someone to take their **** out on
