"Teen Pregnancy a Tradition" for hmongs

QUOTE
Being a teenage mother in the Hmong culture is actually quite common. If a Hmong girl was to already be married the Hmong way, then in a sense, getting pregnant would be okay. But in the American way, it is frowned upon...

QUOTE
For example, within the Asian/Pacific Islanders group, some communities view teen pregnancy as shameful, perhaps even disowning a pregnant teen, while other communities, such as the Hmong and Mien, view pregnancy at age 16 as a norm, encouraging young parents to marry and assisting in raising the child.

QUOTE
Teenage marriage is a traditional practice among the Hmong. Most Hmong teenage marriages are unreported. Early marriage creates barriers for educational and career attainment for women, resulting in lower socioeconomic status outcomes for women. Despite this, Hmong teenage marriage continues in the United States. Using results from a survey of 186 Hmong women, this talk will examine the effects of teenage marriage on the socioeconomic well being of adult Hmong women in the United States. .

Unlike Kinh, teen marriage is still quite common among Dao and Hmong, particularly females

On the plus side, there are finally Mongoloids who are willing to have large families.

Hmong people love children. Children are gifts. C'mon, some people want kids and they can't even have kids.
Teen marriages only happen when the boy slept with the girl or he took her out without the parents' consent.

What is the purpose of this thread? If you come from a big family with a big extended family/ lots of relatives, you are bound to have lots of kids.
If you come from a family that only have fews, then you are bound to have fews. I don't get this thread.

I want a big family.

people need to practice safe sex, they have to try to let the girls turn 18 and mature before having children for the girls sake and overpopulation is not something to be proud of.

The purpose of this thread was to show that Hmong people are dirty, filthy, stupid people who thinks that teenage pregnancy is okay.

When you start liking women, you are a man. It is not considered "teenage" pregnancy to Hmong people because "teenagers" are seen as adults. Unlike some people, our range of being a kid is not extended. However, marrying young is looked down upon nowadays because of the circumstances. It was acceptable back when farming was the only option for us.

Like what cocopuffchild said, it is usually the stupid kids that embarrassed their parents by having sex before marriage that gets married young.

And I'm in favor of the high birthrates as long as we produce more bachelors, masters, and doctors.

its because the average size of a hmong's 'baby maker' is bigger than all the other asians. them girls see it for the first time and its game over.

"there is a cultural predisposition toward premarital sex among some ethnic minority groups such as Hmong" -UNAIDS et al. 2000

Subject of marginalization. Stupid Hmong person, he's probably too poor to have a large family himself and are just jealous of others. Whether they're on public assistance or what not, they will make up for the system. This article is just bias and stereo-typical.

I did not make this thread to insult hmong. I made it to point out when people insult black people for having teenage marriage and kids that they are wrong.

Black and Hmong teenage people just can't be compared and it's unfair for anyone to compare groups of people for having such a high rate of teen marriage or high fertility rate. Americans rather have teenage single moms/single dads, that's worst than making amends from responsible parties.

Both demographic groups share similar socioeconomic statues.

Many blacks live in poverty.

Many Hmong live in poverty.

Spot on.

if teenagers are busy raising children, their education suffers.

minimum-wage is no where near enough to provide for a family in today's society. if you don't have an education, you're fu-ked.

if the guy gets an education and earns all the money then the girl can raise the baby

When nature calls, you just have to do what you got to do and that's just what happens to the many single teenage moms and dads. Feeling good is all that matters, teens don't think about the consequences nor do they plan and education is not part of their plans. Such people do have a hard time because of their actions. We continue to have this problem in society because society allow it; people are too dependent on the state to raise and discipline their own children. Notice that such problems only occurs highest for the low income demography and not others? These problems has something to do with the economic situation people are in. The poor works 2 or 2 times as hard to make ends meet and often times have no time for family. This is where most kids stray and make bad choices in their life. So it's unfair for the rich and wealthy to look down on such people or even marginalize a certain group of people. It's unfair, and disgusting! They should be willing to pay more in tax to prevent such undesirables from happening...
