I say this all the time: BRING BACK TEEN BABYSITTERS. When I was a teen I was constantly babysitting for neighbors, family friends and family members. Most of my little cousins I took care of, anyone we trusted that had a kid I spent at least an afternoon with. Teens now days have very little idea of how much work kids are, and baby sitting only gives them a sliver of that -- and so many times that sliver is enough. Try to do your homework with a tired two year old, or relax and watch tv with a couple of 5 year olds that won't go to bed. Found out about a friend's get together? You already made commitments to babysit. I think so many of these teens haven't experienced that responsibility, so the weight of pregnancy, and taking physical care of a child doesn't weigh on them, let alone the actual raising them part.

I understand the point, but I do partially disagree. From what I've experienced, in real life, not online, teens who saw getting impregnated and married as the ultimate goal that has to he completed the moment they are physically capable of that were the teens who got to babysit, and really liked babies after that. Babysitting ain't being a parent... Also, not that teens shouldn't babysit, but it's very easy to cross the line where willing babysitting turns into something forced onto the teen by the parents, which can be detrimental for the child who is left with the teen. I myself could hurt a child as a teen, my parents were responsible enough not to make me babysit with that knowledge, but still were irresponsible enough to force me to hold my infant cousin after we talked for an entire hour about how and why I refuse to do so... Parents often refuse to hear their teens out or treat them like humans, giving UNWILLING teens such responsibility shouldn't be encoradged either.

They can’t provide their children with basic human needs if they didn’t experience having said needs met themselves. Sadly they legitimately have no idea what a healthy childhood looks like. The chance to grow and develop decent character, work ethic, respect for other people and their right to not be mistreated over a period of around 18 years of childhood (some of us needed 1-7 more years of parental support) is becoming rarer and rarer and society is not discussing the issue. Kids today are taking on the responsibilities that normally used to begin around 18-25 years of age for us at 12-16 years of age! And no one bats an eye. If once in a while someone tries to speak on behalf of the childhoods (they literally are too young to logically understand) they’re giving up they get backlash for being a prude? Like… they’re minors. What happened about caring about children and the impact of their actions?

A family member asked me if I was going out and when I told her no because I was saving, she called me boring then proceeded to ask me to babysit her daughter so she could go out. A month later she then called to borrow money. I’m pretty sure that at no point did it occur to her that my being “boring” meant that she had a baby sitter that night and that the same money she borrowed from me was only available for me to lend simply because I had chosen to stay home that night instead of spending it going to the club. So yes, people will call you boring but be more than happy to benefit from it when it suits their needs. Luckily I’m older now and much more assertive and discerning 🙏🏾

I know that it's hard from people on the outside looking in to really know what's going on with the younger generations, but since I'm 19, and in my second year of college, I can talk on us. Young people, especially underage people having children is a huge non-issue. Dispite what the older generations might believe, we are not more promicuos than the previous generations, and we have recieved countless sexual education from the time we were 12. Most people I knew in highschool were virgins, all but 2 of my friends are virgins. I also went to a pretty big highschool of about 3000 students, and I only ever saw 2 girls pregnant. Teen pregnancies are a lot more uncommon now than before, and most young people don't want children any time soon or at all. You guys can even look up stats on this, don't get fooled by the few young parents you see on the internet, those are outliers, not even remotely close to the average teenager or young adult.

It’s simply we just won’t stand for injustices that older generations have let fly. We are also more open to having conversations about mental/emotional/and physical health when there was time you couldn’t be open to discuss those topics without being looked at like you’re crazy. Yes there are few outliers but haven’t almost of all the older generations faced the same thing. It feels like many older generations are upset or don’t like that many Gen Z’s don’t want to move in their lives like they did. Why do something just one way when there’s other ways of accomplishing the same end result. It’s that open and honest dialogue that people are afraid of because it breaks what they have always known and that just can’t happen.

should teen moms hide away or publicly shame themselves. it’s different if it were a social media trend to plan ur pregnancy as a teen. most of the teen moms on tiktok did not plan it. another thing, being a teen mom means u already made ur mistake and ur living it now. should they shame themselves constantly after it’s done?

This internet thing a lot of things should not be allowed to be shown on there. To add, children under 16 should not have phones or access to the internet except for assignments and they should be supervised by a responsible adult in order to grow up normal and not feel they are yet to achieve anything. Aesthetic is thrown around too much making people feel they have to look or behave in a certain manner to be valid,sis just be neat,modest, confident and live within you means you will be fine. I wish I was a KZfaqr I would have had a lot to add. Thanks again you spoke TRUTH!!!

Especially the narcissist thing is so true. As someone who recently realized that I kept on being friends or dating the same type of person I can tell you that social media actually slowed down my journey. Seeing videos about narcissistic people and the list of traits confused me even more. I did not realize that I was in a cycle and since my scenarios didn't relate to the signs maybe cause they were very simple guesses and had more to do with bad behavior or a situation taken out of hand, I convinced myself that I was the problem since I could barely relate to the victims. It took me so long to conclude that most narcissists are actually quite enticing and not as plain behavior explained by a top5 list. They are difficult to argue with and cut off, even worse is that if they are on social media they will use mental health buzz words to really sell their story. Anyway, it is not as simple to realize, and even trying to get out of the loop as I also know I play a role in attracting the same people. Either way, these things are best to either avoid or seek professional help.

Gen Z here. I had an ex ask me how I felt about having kids before getting married once. I said absolutely not. Post breakup, I don't even know if I want kids. I'm 26 and I'm in a beautiful relationship now with someone who gives me space to make this decisions for myself and he's supportive either way. However, we both agreed that a child wouldn't be on the table until we can financially thrive with a kid.

When celebrities like HALLE (the Little Mermaid), who had a baby out of wedlock at 23, proudly share it on social media, why wouldn't kids grow up and follow that narrative? After all, the Little Mermaid is having sex and having a baby without marriage. Who am I to judge? 🤷🏽♂️ It's these celebrities, social media, and TV that keep pushing things like this. If Kylie had a baby without getting married, who am I to judge? So sad. 🤦🏽♀️

@@Dee_Dee794 I’m aware and the message is to the young ladies who collect bodies and have opps babies! They do not have nearly a quarter of what these young celebrities have in terms of money and access to their amenities so it’s in the young ladies best interest to not play those games. Protect your womb at all costs, having a child with the wrong man can ruin you, despite whether you think the child is a blessing or not. At least if you’re in your 30s plus you would have lived a life already. But another reason why doing it so young out of wedlock is bad is cause you haven’t had a chance to know yourself so well yet and likely the person you’re with, the child wasn’t planned so the likelihood of a break up is higher.

I have a family member who attends a school for young moms’ and it is filled with 14-17 year-olds who planned and carried out that plan to have either one or multiple children and live completely on their parents dime. They have their parents take care of the children all the time while the girls go out clubbing and doing drugs. At one point my family member found out girls had been doing coke in the school bathrooms. One girl told my family member she “never goes clubbing” but she had multiple facebook posts taking shots at a nightclub that is well known for being very sketchy in our city. One girl we used to know literally relapsed on meth and was leaving her baby unattended while she would go down in her apartment parking lot to have sex and use drugs w some guy in his truck. She later borrowed over $3k from her parents who I saw her screaming at multiple times, to the point that I would classify it as verbal harassment. I have no clue why her parents continued to support her financially or otherwise. Another girl we know was on a drug binge and started throwing ceramic dishes at her children. CFS was called, of course, and she lost custody temporarily, but has regained it and now gets child support payments every month which fund her drug and shopping addictions (she has over $2000 worth of hair products and constantly brags about it online). I know it’s hard to believe, but this is happening every day and it is certainly not just on social media.
