Today, teenage pregnancies keeps on increasing not only in the US but all over the world. What if your daughter got pregnant at a very young age, how will you react to it?
If it happens to me in the future, of course i will be shocked but maybe eventually accept the fact. I will be there for her and her daughter and still continue to support both of them.

the infant would go up for adoption. teens are not fit to be parents financially, or emotionally.

i know a 15 year old girl whos parents told her they would disown her if she kept her baby so the baby is in foster care awaiting adoption.she phones the foster mother and is given photos even though she isnt suposed to and if her parents found out theyd go nuts.she wanted her baby and loves her,sometimes she is very distraught.i know all this because i know the foster mother.shes had the baby from birth and shes now 8 months.i feel so very sorry for that 15 year old girl because that loss will always be with her,wondering where she is and how she is.thats why i would help mine.i think her parents are terrible for doing that to her.

i would be caring and sympathetic and talk it through with her.i would hope she would keep the baby but it would be her decision.i would do everything i could to help her,looking after them both whenever i could and would have them live with me if she wanted to.

first of all,i would shows this expression O_O or might as well give her a tight slap.oh no,that won't bring any good,am i right?so the most suffice action will be forgiving her and then make out a plan for her.As parents,even if our child did wrong thing..it's our responsibility to guide them to the right path.i will continue supporting her even she is at fault and at the same time reflect on my own shortcoming too.she wouldn't get pregnant if she is under proper guidance and advises from elderly.Agree?

I'm praying so hard that it doesn't happen to my baby. But if ever it does, I will make sure that my daughter knows that I am here for her. I will help her make it through and encourage her to move on and still reach for her dreams.

I guess that everybody would agree that you'd always feel shocked at first...but when you come to think of it there's nothing really that you can do but support them...you'd have to understand that you maybe shocked but their minds are in a turmoil because of the predicament that they are in...in situations of teenage pregnancies we must try to understand them and be supportive of them too.

I would do the same. All children and humans in general make mistakes, and there is nothing wrong with that. I will support my daughter all the way and give her every help that she needs. I would never turn her away at all.

I feel like you, I would be shocked and hurt inside because my husband and I have both talked with our daughter extensively about the fact that you are supposed to remain pure until marriage. But we know that our daughter is human just like everyone else. If something like this should happen we would stand by her, support her and let her know that we still love her no matter what. She will always be our daughter and if this should happen, I pray that it don't, the baby would always be our grandchild and we would love it always.

what's done is done. i guess at first i will be mad but i guess this hard for her too, to become a mother at such a young age. so i have to be supportive as she's my daughter after all. i'll be there for her and show her how much i care and love her.

When my daughter became pregnant, I was surprised, but not shocked... and it wasn't my place to be hurt because she doesn't live her life to please me.
My granddaughter just turned 23... she has been the purest bright spot in my life and I can't imagine her not existing or not being part of our lives.
A child needs to be supported, and a grandchild needs to be welcomed and loved.
Ain't life simple???
