just honest opinions. would you blame the guy, the girl, the parents, the media, etc. just please only serious answers and give reasons. thanks soooo much.
No one is to blame, i was raised properly by my parents and my mother informed me about birth control. I got on the pill but i didn’t know my meds cancelled it out so surprise! Both me and my boyfriend knew what we were doing and we knew the possible consequences. In the end it was a lovely surprise and I’m a very happy mother to a toddler and if someone is to blame for that then i’ll thank them!

Both the girl and guy (the teens). The parents probably didn’t know that they had sex & everyone says it’s always the media’s fault. But it’s the guy & girl’s fault for having sex.

I blame all involved:
Parents for allowing their children to date too young in the first place AND for not giving their children the information they NEED to prevent pregnancy… other than "you can go out until all hours with so and so but don’t have sex"… teens NEED to know it’s OK and necessary to use condoms.
The guy for not keeping it in his pants.
The girl for not having the sense to say no.
The media for glamorizing teen pregnancy (example: Secret Life of the American Teenager).
Western religion for making sex out to be something disgusting and bad.

The teens (unless its rape). People have to stand up and take responsibility for their own actions. Quit blaming other people!!

Depends on the situation.
If the guy and the girl were together for a few months and their parents knew about it and the girl wasn’t on the pill I blame the parents.
If it are just 2 teens who couldn’t care less then obvious both are to blame.
I’m smart enough that every situation is different and trying to find one thing to blame is pretty shallow.

It’s everyone’s fault, and no one’s at the same time.
The ancestors – they are the ones who taught the next generation who taught the next one, and so on.
BUT they didn’t know, so how can you blame them? But how can you not as well?
The parents – It may not be that they didn’t do a good enough job, it’s that they didn’t manage to teach their child enough. They may have done the best they could, but it didn’t work.
BUT they didn’t expect this and they tried, so how can you blame them? Yet how can you not?
The Girl – She’s the pregnant one
BUT she didn’t ask for it, so how can you blame her, yet, she still knew the risks…
*DOES NOT WORK IN CASE OF RAPE*
The Guy – it’s his sperm.
BUT he didn’t expect this either, so how can you blame him, yet how can you not?
The Media – They make sex look acceptable and influence teenagers.
BUT – pregnant teenagers was not their goal, so how can you blame them? Yet how can you not?
Society – Peers were not good enough influences
BUT they could have been good, and the child themselves was bad, so how can you blame them?
Yet how can you not?
The BABY – It’s the sucker that got created.
BUT it doesn’t discriminate age or know about this, so how can you blame it?
Yet how can you not?

This is a serious answer, I’m not trying to be funny. It’s philosophy and honesty. It’s everyone’s fault and nobody’s at the same time. Everyone and No one has a role in the incident.

The girl and the guy, the parents have nothing to do with it and neither does the media. I was raised perfectly, church every sunday and wednesday, very disciplined and smart. But i was with my boyfriendfor 5 years, one thing lead to another and BAM Zaiden was born.
Btw, you don’t "blame" anyone. My son is the best miracle that has ever came into my life, i don’t "blame" him on anyone.

the guy and girl.
unless the guy got the girl pregnant on purpose without the girl knowing, then it’s all their fault >:| I really know people that have gone through that.
and it’d be the girls fault if she purposely got pregnant, like tampering with condoms/ saying they’re on birth control but they aren’t.
I mean, you can’t blame the parents, parents don’t always know what their children are doing, and it’s not because they let them, but because teens will do what they want regardless of what their parents say.
I’d also blame the media, there are girls that do get pregnant to get on 16&Pregnant.
I just hate that people think all teens get pregnant on purpose. have they not heard about accidents? they happen, you can’t always prevent pregnancy. really, nothing is 100%. they’re some girls that get pregnant while on birth control and condoms. I mean, if god wants your pregnant, your gonna get pregnant whether you like it or not. sometimes it’s for the best.
