Today, after ranting to my best friend about how all our friends are having kids and how teenage pregnancy will ruin their lives, she announced to me that she's pregnant. FML

Well I guess you're not going to be invited to the baby shower. But on the bright side there's no way you could've known, and now you don't have to live a lie!

Be there for her and support her, don't be that person who's not a friend anymore due to a difference in opinion

It hasn't ruined my life. Yeah unplanned but its the greatest joy i can have. Plus its consistent motivation to push me threw school and do good.

Ignore doodlebug13. She accused me of having no heart after I said I gave my baby to someone else through adoption.

yes not every teenage mother will do a good job. but quite a few will. its hard enough to raise a baby when your young, but the criticism and disrespect make it much harder and more stressful. to say it will ruin their life isn't just inappropriate it's also mean. to say it would ruin your own life would be accurate. just think about it. the mother is younger, she has more energy, less health problems and can keep up with her child more then what she would later in life. I'm not a teenager, but I am 22 and mother of a 2 month old little boy and I couldn't have been happier. I still have the same opportunities in front of me that I did before I got pregnant. I don't think that it ruined my life, it just changed it. I love my little man and wouldn't have it any other way. yes, they should probably wait, and I assume most of the time it was an accident... but try to be supportive and understanding. it's a scary and confusing time, especially as a teenager. try not to make it any harder for them. they get enough of it as it is, and all the stress is hurting her and the baby.

I actually do believe it ruins their lives, not on a whole, but their planned lives. I know people who are my age (20) and on their second kids. Some are doing an amazing job at it. However, they also had dreams before they got pregnant that were unachievable afterwards. One girl was aiming to train to go to the Olympics, another wanted to go to university to become a nurse. With a child added, those planned lives were ruined, but their current lives are still great.

I agree it's definitely not always the case, but telling op's friend that it WILL ruin her life is wrong. I know that op didn't know she was pregnant yet but that doesn't change what she said. besides, dreams come and go. there aren't very many people in this world that hasn't changed what they want to do with their life at least once throughout their childhood to being an adult. yes, sometimes plans have to change, but that doesn't mean that your life will be ruined or unhappy or even unfulfilled. of course, I'm not speaking for everyone, some young women would be distraught and overwhelmed to find themselves in such a predicament. but a lot of women I know turn around and are ecstatic to find out their are pregnant after they get over the shock of it all.

I had my oldest daughter at 17. But I was also married and emancipated from my parents household...

That's way different #73. You were married and living on your own. Most teenagers are married or living on their own.

YDI for being judgemental. Unless she got pregnant on purpose, you should be supporting her.

I agree. Teenagers nowadays don't know how to keep their legs closed...it's sad.

YDI for being a sanctimonious, judgmental dickbag.
