Typically I would say young parents are irresponsible. I mean, lets face it, how many young parents even intended to be parents to begin with? So chances are, that right there is one sign of some irresponsibility. Plus, at a young age typically the responsible thing to do is be in school and then go to a trade school or college... Not make babies when you probably cant really even afford it... Finally, how can you responsibly raise a new life when you havent really lived life yourself to begin with?!

I suppose all one can do though is the best they can in a situation like that... I certainly dont think it is ideal and dont think anyone should encourage it.
