why do girls think their folks will be OK with them if they get pregnant as teens?

I don't get why people these days think its OK to get pregnant while still going to high school, and they expect everyone to go along with it. and it's not generalizing. people have different ways of handling things on the outside, on the inside, all are disappointed, ashamed, and disgraced.

@ k-pop

tell me what parent would love for their kid to drop out of high school because they couldn't keep their legs closed? "ya, well my kid had a kid at 15. I love her for doing that. that's why I'm supporting her, and her backwards boyfriend. her life isn't ruined, she can live of other peoples tax dollars!!" what happened to moralistic standings? and calling me a dumb*** is also invalid. if you can't make an argument without putting out a disgraceful bomb, that reflects you, not me.

My mom was okay with it. It wasn't a "Mom, I'm pregnant." "Okay, cool." deal. Instead, I presented my mom with what I still want to do with my life and how I am going to do it. She helped me reach out for some support. I was transferred to a high school with a teen parent program. I did rely on my mother financially for about ten months. I was 17 at that time. But, my mom does not hold that against me. Why? Because my situation changed. I have my own job, I don't live with my parents anymore, I have my own agendas that do not involve my parents.

It's been almost five years since I became pregnant. My mom isn't upset with me. My dad isn't upset with me. My grandparents aren't upset with me. My siblings aren't upset with me. Everyone loves my daughter. The only thing I rely on them for is family emotional support and love for my daughter. Not daycare. Not money.

Where did you pull this assumption from? Your a**?

They're being positive. Sure my parents didn't take it lightly, but eventually a handful of years later they have full trust in me and my decisions for the future, so they can enjoy their retirement peacefully as young grandparents. At fifteen I didn't have much to actually prove that I was capable of graduating high school, making a relationship last, or properly raising a child, but after my daughter was born they saw my dedication, motivation, and love for my family, so after moving out they are comfortable that I can and will become successful despite being a teenage mother. They were much harder on my boyfriend, but I don't blame them. They made him go to hell and back to prove that he loves me, which is why I'm so secure in my relationship now.

You wouldn't know that though, you've never been in that position. I doubt it's like that for all of them, some parents don't take it well at all and other girls would be too terrified to tell anyone.

Not always. I guess it depends on the parent. Mine were shocked but now they are excited. I didn't think my mom and step dad were going to be ok with it I just hoped for the best

Why are you generalizing? I'm willing to bet that you haven't been in a situation where you have to tell your parents that you are pregnant. NO girl thinks it's okay to get pregnant and tell their parents about it. So your statements are invaild.

@.....

It is generalizing dumbass. And you are doing the same thing.
