Teenage Pregnancy Drops After Age 25?

bannedinhollywood.com — Speaking of pregnancy, my 24 year old cousin is pregnant with her first child, which obviously makes her a pregnant teen. However this was published in 1999, so maybe she ’s just pregnant and is not in fact a pregnant teen… That Y2K really changed everything.

  • aussiejan, on 10/16/2008, -0/+9Perhaps they meant to say "Unplanned pregnancy drops after age 25".
    • zeabu, on 10/16/2008, -0/+4Why didn't they do so then?
      • seattlegirluw, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Because copy editors often rewrite headlines, sometimes designers do too. If space is an issue, they may make a change to the title to help it fit better. And people can be careless. In this case, hilariously so.
      • zeabu, on 10/19/2008, -0/+1As a copywriter I know you can shorten titles, as long as you don't change the meaning. Besides that, "teenage" is not shorter than "unplanned", but it's more sensational. And stupid. A teenager is everyone aged 10-19, which leaves out aged 20-25.
    • AriaStar, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2But they didn't, so it's funny.
  • SpillReviews, on 10/16/2008, -1/+3kids are growing up so fast these days...
  • happyMensch, on 10/16/2008, -0/+16teenage pregnancy stops at age 20... questions?
    • AriaStar, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Where do babies come from?
      • coyote1284, on 10/17/2008, -0/+1Well, you see, when a bird and a bee love eachother very much, the bird will pee in the bee's bellybutton. This signals the stork to plant cabbage. 9 months later the stork picks the cabbage which contains a baby and drops it off in a hospital or in a third world country to be sold on the black market.
  • eastwoodcarter, on 10/16/2008, -1/+3God Damn that Y2K. Made my dad a teenager and then stole all my porno.
  • midgetjoyride, on 10/16/2008, -5/+3Am I missing something, or is actually being a teenager not part of what constitutes being a pregnant teen?
    • Dumbledorito, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Read the clipping again.

      Then ask how you spent your "teenage years" when you were, say, 23.
    • housewarmer, on 10/16/2008, -0/+5Yes. You're missing something.
    • midgetjoyride, on 10/16/2008, -2/+1Dig me down, but please somebody explain this as straight forward as possible. I genuinely do not understand how a 25 yr old can be called a teen.
      • eastwoodcarter, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3hahaahahaha this is too funny
  • ajUCI, on 10/16/2008, -2/+2i figured that it would drop significantly after age 19
  • bringmeupmusic, on 10/16/2008, -2/+1Oh you quarter of a decade old teens and your procreating... =o)
  • Fuel90, on 10/16/2008, -6/+2Its funny cause when your 25, your not a teenager.
  • virvelvinden, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1It makes sense if you stay pregnant for six years instead of 9 months. Or maybe not. Anyway, old!
  • samoan27, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2I wonder if teen pregnancy picks up around age 11.
  • redscofield, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2oh, i get it... you stop wanting to impregnate teenagers after you turn 25, right?
  • PersonalJesus, on 10/16/2008, -5/+0OMG!

    FWD: FWD:FWD: FWD:FWD: FWD:FWD: FWD:FWD: FWD: SO FUNNY; YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!
  • mywhitenoise, on 10/16/2008, -1/+1this was funny the first time it hit the front page.
  • santiago1, on 10/16/2008, -0/+2 Well, we found the age of maturation.
  • AriaStar, on 10/16/2008, -0/+3Ah, so I'm only two years past my teen years. I feel young again!
  • alexthewriter, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1Come on, everyone knows this... it's half your age plus seven, right?
  • JazLive, on 10/16/2008, -1/+3My first child was born at 23, his first child arrived at age 25 ~ the story has a typo. Nineteen is the last teen year. 20 is the beginning of baby adult ;)

    I will be 52 on Veterans Day; my eldest will be 28 and his daugher 4 in December. His 2nd born a son arrived this past August ~ I am happy he didn't start his family nine years ago ;)
