IF THE DAD HAS LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY, GO FOR IT! I GOT PREGNANT AT 19 AND ENJOY BEING A HOUSE WIFE BUT I WISH WE HAD MORE MONEY SO IM THINKING OF GOING TO SCHOOL WHEN MY KIDS GET A LITTLE OLDER. ALSO MAKE HIM MARRY YOU FIRST.

If you don't know the answer to this yourself, it's just more proof as to why you shouldn't get pregnant at 17. Besides, even if it were "ok", why would you do that to a child? Children deserve to have both parents consistently in their lives. I'm guessing you weren't thinking about the child's feelings, which, again, is another reason you shouldn't get pregnant at 17. You don't have to go to college, but you do need to get out there and work. You can't really raise children in this day and age without two incomes and a lot of maturity, unless you happen to be a millionaire.

I know you have probably already heard this but your only 17. Have fun. If college is not for you go and find a fun job. I know jobs are not really fun but maybe the people you would work with are. I had my first baby at 25 and my last at 34 that is how old I am. I am a better mom now. Don't rush into anything. Be young, enjoy it, love yourself.
good luck with everything :)

Because you haven't found the love of your life yet!slow down!you can still have your dream come true but mabey it will in a few years,until then u can live with your parents mabey.But geting pregnant isn't going to help u,you'll prbley end up a single mom wich is evry hard my mom is a single parent of four kids.It's no easy thing.The person who gets u pregnant might not want kids anyways.Most guys don't mature until there in there 20's and by then there ready for a family.For now not everyone goes to colledge get a babyusitting job or open a day care up until u find mister right.u don't have to go colledge for a day care good luck!

That's all well and good assuming you can find someone in your age group that can make enough money to support you and children on their salary alone.
If you haven't found that person then in the meantime get a job and start socking money away to help pay for the house you'll want to raise your children in. It would be nice to be able to put a great down-payment on the house of your dreams when that time comes.

Ok, so you get pregnant, and the child's dad leaves. Now what are you going to do? You say he loves you, but he is probably around your age and is not mature enough. I know that because he has actually agreed with you that it might be a good idea. You haven't said anything about marriage, how he is going to support you and your baby so that you can afford to stay at home. This is why you shouldn't have a baby at this age.

Don't you feel like your shortchanging yourself. Your 17 not even an adult yet! There's so much to do and see in this world. You can get married a raise a family when the time is right but that shouldn't be your ultimate lifetime goal. Sheesh , isn't there anyone you see as a role model?Don't your parents/family have expectations or offer suggestions.

Yes, getting pregnant at 17 is not a good idea. Get a job, and live a little before you settle down, or you will start to resent the fact that you have been nothing but a baby machine.

I am not sure if I should take you serious, but just in case. I work with people who are going through a divorce, and believe me, they wished they had done everything differently. Child Support is not always easy to get, and sometimes if you get it, is not enough to pay for even a babysitter.
Don't always predict that what you have today will be there tomorrow.

Please.....please do not get pregnant. You can do all the house wife stuff (not at all glamorous...monotonous) when you grow up a little. Children are a lot of work and you HAVE to have enough money to support them from birth through college. You can't do that working at Walmart. Please consider going to college...it is so much fun! Plus when you do get married, you will not be trapped if your husband turns out to be a creep! You have so many fun years ahead of you...please do not cheat yourself out of them!!!

what are your boyfriends plans??? he cant work a fulltime job and go to college...unless hes like 22 or 23 and is already done with college and has a fulltime job. you need to think of whats best for the baby not your personal needs. can your boyfriend afford a mortgage, electric bill, gas bill, insurences on the home and vehichles, etc and take care of you and a baby? prolly not bc my ex couldnt do it bc he was too immature to put himself last. you need to wait....go out and have fun! i havent been out of the house in 3 months! it gets depressing after a while....go to college even if its just for 2 years....save up money...and dont forget to send your man to college too!
