It was become viral when I was a teenager, I'm lucky I wasn't one of those. Today I here the news on the radio that a 11 yr. old got pregnant and fighting for her baby to live. I saw on yahoo that an 13 yr. old girl was raped and got pregnant and had an home abortion. What is happening to our world .

Exploitation. How you are exploited in the office by forcing to do all the jobs, the children, who are not aware of the world are getting exploited. Whom can we blame? The children? The grown up? As a social being, we have some commitments to the society. If we are not bothered of it how can we proud ourselves as human being. It is shameful to the entire world. They must have small children at their own homes. What lesson they will learn from the incident. Let us pry that human beings should get better awareness on themselves. Such people behind this crime is to be punished and the authorities should topmost priority to get maximum punishment to those culprits. Thank-s

I am very mcuh aware that our prays can do nothing, but I wish for it. It gives only a little good feeling, nothing else. If prays has power, our world would not get lead into such things. All are selfish. But this kind of cruelt is too much against our fellow being. Don't you think? Thank-s

Prayers can move mountains but still we need to do something. You're right this is too much, but there is more worse than just rape a minor. I will post that topic asap.

That's so sad, I see that in my country too, very young teenage girls got pregnant without knowing the responsibilities they have to face... I know girls that keep on with theirs life leaving the children apart... so sad situation... :( What will happen with these children? Who knows...

Here, if teenage girls accept the responsibilities as parent they become and look like mother, forgot to take care of themselves that is why they look older than their actual age, although some still live like they are single like you said.

Year 1995 - 2000 I guess, numbers of teenage pregnancy skyrocket in my country. Some get married and some are played single parent. I guess they have their lesson learned and will take care more of their children.

Sad, but right here is different, girls do not face the reality and have babies and then leave them to theirs grandfather or grandmother because, teenage girl want to do social life, go to dance, meet people, etc etc, and the babies grow up alone.

This is very sad. As they are still so little, they don't have the basic economy to have their own child. Besides, they even don't know how to take care of themselves, how to expect them to take care of their babies because they are still teenagers. I love China

Evil and darkness has increased as years pass by, that's all I can say. And I cant do anything about it except pray. I pity for those who got pregnant and at the same time I salute them. I pity them because they are still so immature to handle the job of a parent, they could not really live the life according to their age because they have an additional responsibility, plus the image of the person who got pregnant is already ruined. I salute to them (those who didn't abort their babies) because despite of the pressures they still didnt kill their baby.

i think parents should guide their children very well nowadays. there are many bad influence in our society now. parents are working. i think that i spite of work and problems, parents should still devote time for their children. a good family is a foundation of good society.

Parents has a big role on shaping the future of their children, so sad that nowadays parents sometimes tolerate their children's bad habit cause they don't have time or they are not there.

yes, in our place, they just let their child sya bad words in street. children at young age can even "magmura ng malutong" and they just tolerate that.

Hi Laniekins!. Sadly its become more common this day. I had few person in my neighborhood who got pregnant before they finished their high school. Its really bad for the woman because they put their education into jeopardy because here we don't accept pregnant student to continue their education in high school. They say it will become bad example for others.

I think it's because of failure of parenting. Most parents nowadays do not their job and responsibilities as parents anymore. They do not teach their child what's right from wrong. They do not guide the young ones to the right path. Sometimes they are parents who are immoral and they pass that on to their children. This I believe is the cause of this teenage pregnancy. If you become a good parent to your child and start teaching them what's right from wrong at a very young age, and give them proper attention and guidance, these cases of teenage pregnancies could have been avoided.
