For me, even as a teeanger (Mind you, I'm ONLY 20! I was considered a teenager only a year ago!) I would never DREAM of typing or spelling like that!! I just don't get it. And it annoyed me even then. I just dont understand how it'sKEWL to look uneducated, annoying, and jsut plain stupid. Maybe I'm the exception, not the rule, (I've been told that a lot) butI always took pride in my grammar! I really don't care what people think, but for me to type like that, I would think less of myself, honestly.

I think (any) education is important and I can't understand why you would want to look like an idiot or just ignorant?

So it really bothers me. Take PRIDE in what you do and what you know!!

I wasn't aware I edited my post a first time.

And if you don't hang out in TDC then how do you know what goes on in there?

Nice try though.

i dont ever get involved in drama on here or anything like that but i do tend to read things people say. I'm not on here to fight and argue over the internet i'm here for advice and to meetother people insimilar situations. but i also wanted to say not all teens are the same and not all teens are immature and boy do i know there is a fair share of them. but i think a lot of people are putting down teens in general. I don't think all teens should be treated the same each teen is different and one is more mature then another one. I've seen older and younger girls be equally immature at times on here. and it makes it tough when immature teens make a name for teens when there are some trying to better themselves and prepare for parenthood. and they feel like they can't be taken seriously. :\ just my opinion.

That's an over simplification.

People don't lump them all in saying they will be bad mothers or anything like that. Teenagers are just that. Teeangers. and it's why they get 'lumped' together, because they are still growing and and still in school. It has nothing to do with maturity. Being really mature at 15 doesn't mean you're ready to be a parent. I was really mature as a teenager, but it doesn't mean I was ready to be a mother, or that I should of tried having kids.

no i agree. 15 theres a difference 15 youre just entering highschool and youre just starting to be introduced into teenage life, well most. And i completely agree that most teens are not ready to be parents, and im not even going to say im ready to be a parent [i never would of tried to getpregnant so young iwould of loved to wait]but it's going to happenand i'll be the best mother i can be. I just get pissed when i see people act like every teenager is the same. I personally graduated highschool almost a year and a half early i've always been more mature for my age, i wouldnt be caught dead doingor saying half the things some teen on here and in general do. I grew up fast, i was taking care of myself earlier, and i was on my own earlier. and i dont consider myself to be just another teenager. And i do understand not all teenagers nor many are like that. but my point is sometimes some teenagers are more mature then some adults. and the ones that dont even try should be addressed as immature children, but the other ones that are mature and take responsibilty and grow up and what not should be treated as such and should get at least some credit. not all teens rely on mommy and daddy or hand off their kids to mommy and daddy some are actually out in the real world working to provide for their kids and being the best parents they can be. Like every or most older girls and should get the same amount of credit. and not all older people are ready to be parents either. a 40 year old lady could be just as not ready to be a parent as come 13 year old. and some 17 or 18 year old can be just as good as a parent who might be older.

I thinkmuchthat a pregnant teen who is going through so much already, and who is just looking for some advice, doesnt need to be riddiculed about how they speak. They already think that they are stupid for things they inadvertantly did to themselves, and dont need other women that they are looking to for help to harm them instead.

Thank you, that REALLY needed to be said.

I've had people talk crap to me, some even told me I wasn't pregnant & that I didn't have a miscarriage in February cause the doctor didn't check inside of me.

But once again. thanks
