Do you think that kids under the age of 16 should have kids?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

I'm two sided on this, when it comes to the decision for a 16 year old to have the child or abort it. i believe they should have the child. A lot of my friends were very misguided and found no reason to live a good life but throw it all away by giving up her integrity to guy after guy. but when they had a child, it gave them a whole new reason to live and they grew mature quick and Jocelyn, riza, and all my friends are doing great now. If a young girl is deciding on having a baby early, it is a bad decision. Sometimes, an unexpected pregnancy is a gift given by God and usually helps the teenager mature and become more responsible. But those that want it at an early age, probably just want it because they think babysitting is easy and don't know the financial bearings on it. I'm two sided on this, but under those circumstances, people would understand where i am coming from.

Answer 3

No, kids having kids is especially dangerous to the young ladies. Even though girls can have a child as early as ten or younger depending on when they start menustrating does not mean that their bodies are ready.
Many young mothers end up with illnesses such as anemia and other diseases just because their bodies are not ready for the stress of pregnancy and childbirth.
lus, it's just not right at 16 you're was still trying to figure out life and bringing a life into the world is not smart at all. What do you really have to offer that child?( Other than love! You can love a dog.)
hope I didn't offend anyone because I know mistakes happen and you should make the best of a bad situation :)

Answer 4

No.
A female's body is not fully mature until years later. And mentally most people are not mature enough to handle the 24/7 care that babies need until they are 19 or 20.
When someone is mature enough to have kids, they should also be mature enough to have finished school, have a job, pay bills and have their own place.

Because taking care of a baby is a lot of responsibility. When a person is able to handle those things of having a job, taking care of their place, and paying bills, then they are better prepared for the expenses, late nights and more that a baby brings.

Even then, sometimes it's hard. Babies wake up at 3am and sometimes cry even when they don't need food, or diaper change, or any other apparent thing. Babies get sick, it's hard to decide when you need to let them go through it or take them to the doctor. They need clothes, food, and safety.

Below 16, kids should still be kids. Playing video games, hanging out with friends. Below 18, kids should be learning adult responsibilities. Hanging out with friends, sometimes has to be traded for work. Bills sometimes are more important than the latest music. Babies mean even less time with friends and less spending money.

Answer 5

Well, it is not the ideal because, at 16, you are still growing up yourself. However, if you find yourself in a situation where you are pregnant at 16, I think you can be okay. I have a friend who this happened to...they got married at 18, went to college while putting their daughter at the college daycare, and then he joined the military and became a pilot at 22. They are some of the smartest, nicest people I know. So, no being a parent at 16 is a lot harder than waiting until later and I would not encourage it, it is something you can survive if you have to.

Answer 6

Of course not. The ability of a very young mother to understand raising a child will not happen. She cannot understand at the age she is...... who she is, the mentality is too young. How would that mother of that young age handle a screaming , crying child all hours of the night?. A responsible parent would not get frustrated, angry ,upset, even though they are lacking severe sleep and May have to work in the morning. You would need to get the baby's diaper bag ready, clothe and feed the baby before you leave, then get yourself ready,being tired and hungry yourself, there will be no time for you it will all be about the baby. You need to have a vehicle to go to Dr. appts., you need to have a job to support your child, You need to teach the child morals, and proper handling of them selves, there is so much More than that. You need to wait until you are married. Children are for a lifetime, not just something you can drop off and pick up at your will. That child didn't ask for the life it has to deal with because of the irresponsibility of the parents.

Answer 7

I don't think that kids under the age of 20 should have kids.

Answer 8

Not in this day and age. Nature triggers puberty before 16 in most people because naturally speaking, by that age they are ready to reproduce.

In our history (as humans), women also used to be ready by that age in other ways: mentally, emotionally, physically...we didn't used to be so detached from our natural animal instincts.

Now, we tend to baby our children, and by 12 (when most women go through puberty), 14, or even 16, children just aren't mature enough to take care of another human life - properly. While different people mature at different rates, I am sure there are some 16-year-olds out there, both male and female, that just might be emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, etc. ready and mature enough to have a baby. However, because of our changes in lifestyle, most are not.

Edit:

The other major issue is money. Babies and children are expensive to take care of. That didn't used to be a problem when men worked for money starting at young ages, and usually wouldn't marry until they were much older, hence so many young women marrying older men in earlier times. Women didn't need to worry about working for money, they just had to stay home and make babies. It would be the man's responsibility to provide food, shelter, etc.

Answer 9

Kids under 16 should not even know where kids come from.

Answer 10

I mean Come On, They have barely lived their own lives, there is no way that they should even consider doing whats necessary to get pregnant (at those ages) and if they do make the "Grown up" decision to do what is Necessary. Then they should really consider the "Grown Up" Consequences either way, (because Sex is a Grown Up Thing, it should NOT be entered into lightly, it only takes 1 time to get pregnant) because Babies are a Lifelong commitment. I can't just completely advocate abortion but Hey I can't Judge someones decision for their life either.

But if the Question is only SHOULD THEY?
(In a perfect world)......No they shouldn't

Answer 11

NO WAY!!! Anyone under 20 shouldn't have kids. I'm 21 and I couldn't imagine having kids now. I love kids but I want my fun first. A lot of people aren't ready to have kids but do anyway and it always causes problems in children and families.
