Complain about all!

I think it's an excellent time to be judgemental. I wish judgement had occured sooner, so she could have judged properly whether she would be able to understand the responsibility that giving birth entails, and whether or not she would be capable of giving that unborn child the life it should have.

Becoming a parent isn't a fashion statement, or something you do on a whim; it's a lifelong commitment that you have to be sure you're ready for.

So yes, being judgemental is necessary, as 16 is far too young to be having a child, because you are still a child yourself.

I, personally, will continue to be judgemental towards this decision right up until the moment where she proves to be a wonderful parent, because wonderful teenage parents do exist, despite how rare and elusive they are.

However, I will also do everything I can to make sure that she does become part of that rare and exclusive niche of wonderful teenage parents, because every child deserves good parents.

As I said, I have many feelings on the subject.
 
She willing to give birth to that child. Unlike some :uh..:
People make mistakes. I hope you and the society can guide and support her Pontianak (BTW.. it feels weird to say your username.... :XD: )
 
Adults at the age of 30 struggle with raising a child. People with perspective, people with life experience, people with a stable job and stable income, people with a large support network, people with patience and commitment and the capacity to care for themselves as well as another person, people with understanding of the responsibilities that giving birth and providing for a child entail; they all struggle with raising a child.

I, myself, struggle with even imagining how much worse it will be for someone who doesn't have any of that, who doesn't comprehend the responsibilities, to support another person for the rest of their life.

And to make it worse, society isn't in any position to be supporting the more and more numerous teenage mothers. There are many other problems - such as cuts on the police force, cuts on the NHS funds - that means support she would've got a few years ago isn't there now; either because they need the money to spend on something else or the organizations what would have offered guidance aren't there anymore.

I still have many feelings on the subject.
