Forcing your kids to get married 'cause they got knocked up (or knocked someone up) doesn't solve the problem.  This is very old school way of thinking and sadly still occurs today.  So would I do it, NO.  Would I make them both take full responsibility of their actions... HELLLLZ YA!

I just hate how kids are popping out babies like its going out of style just for the sake of trying to keep someone.  It's so irresponsible and immature.  So, how does one avoid it? or atleast TRY to prevent it?  Don't have ANY qualms about talking to your kids or little bros/sis' about sex and condoms and the consequences.

Actually the worst part for me is that they don't even think about their own health for a start. I mean if the baby is the result de la calentura........f@ck I am sorry but i don't buy the "ohhh, we had no tim to put it on, bal bla bla", there is always time.

Can you imagine how many pple's life can be in danger because of 1 time. Like the baby to be for example...............Wowwww that's being responsable !!!!

As for the parents forcing their kids to get married, too bad they can't realise that the disgrace, embarrasment and pple talking will still be the same and maybe worst that if they would have stayed appart. At the end, It's the "couple" that need to take the decision.

Sorry I think I need to stp the coffee this morning

I've heard of couples who got married because the girl got pregnant and the parents forced the guy to to marry her.
Do you guys think this is right?
If you had a girl and some guy got her pregnant would you force her to marry him?

I personally wouldn't for so many reasons. The child could have been a result of a one night stand, or they may not even be in love, or know eachother well enough. I wouldn't want her to make two mistakes at once.
I would have no problems with the father wanting to be a part of the babies life and if down the road they are meant to be then I wouldn't get in the way.

I know several people in this situation.....who remained married but you can tell by a mile away that the guy is not happy and not in love AT ALL.....

And some women make me SICK....getting pregnant on purpose to keep a guy and then saying anything and everything to justify it...like...ohhh I didnt want the baby OR ohh I didnt wanna marry him...HE was the one that wanted us to stay together....which is most cases the guy feels "obligado"......when only 50% was his fault.....women are such ___________ sometimes.....
