Answer 1

Before you get serious you should read this book, "Every Young Man's Battle" Learn about sexual integrity before you make a bunch of mistakes that you might regret.

One of the most difficult assignments you'll every have is to integrate your sexuality with the emotional, spiritual, social, and relational person you want to be.

Many of us don't have decent role models, even in our own fathers. At worst, our fathers don't care about sexual standards.

Your children will follow in your footsteps, so be prepared.

take it from someone who was married at 18 had baby little while later. It's a great thought but a lot more work than you think. I now have two kids and am still married but that doesn't mean it's not a challenge. Children not only require a lot of attention and patients they make you grow up fast. At 16 you have a lot of time st ll. You have to look at the big picture. What about the mom are you sure she would be ready? And if she's older ready for you and the major responsibility of having a family.
Then even though our family is rich are sure they would support you and your choices. We did it all on our own no gave us money or anything and you know what I am glad. Our family was supportive but we chose to do it ourselves. To set an example of responsibility and it was very gratifying.
I guess all I am saying is 16 is a little young your not even a legal adult yet. And you have plenty of time. So many children come from single parent families and if you don't want that for your children make sure you really are ready

Answer 3

Well first of all you need a girl..how about marrying her then having kids???

Second it's not up to your rich parents to support your child so don't depend on that.

Third..you're 16..you haven't lived yet. You'll have a baby and realize how tough it is and then you'll resent that baby for the rest of your life and their life.

Don't rush life...you're 16..not done with high school...don't know what the hell college is about...you really have no clue about the real world..you may think you do but you don't YOURE 16. It's normal to think about the future..but keep it in the future. I was 17 when I got pregnant with my first TRUST ME. It's tough. Being a young parent is great but it's tough too. Just don't rush. Give it like 4-5 years at the very least.

Answer 4

Well if you are home school graduating next year then go ahead. you sound like you got a good head on Ur shoulders.. but you did not mention one thing........ Do you got a nice woman that wants to be a family? Need the woman before you can do anything... As long as you get yourself a good woman then do one thing.. make sure you get 1/2 custody the second the baby is born so she can't run off with the baby and try getting your money..
so g/l have fun and it is normal for mature 16 yr old to be ready.

Before i forget... think about what it is going to be like when you are 21 and want to go out drinking and having fun with friends... you are going to have a baby at home and passably a wife.

Answer 5

you are very young to be thinking about children. It is not Fair to have children to right a wrong in your life. you need to be there for them, mentally, spiritually and with your time (physically). i think you should worry about traveling, dating, your businesses, etc. Not raising a family. If you feel like you have a need to spend time with a child, you can always do the big brother program or volunteer at your YMCA. Work with children first before having any. The idea of children is much different than the reality of children. When you are older and in the right place in life you will be in a better place to have and raise a family. There is more to kids than money and affording them. Trust me, I am 28 and have a 11 mos old and I had no idea and was blind sided at the reality of parenting,. don't get me wrong. I love it and my child but I am in a diff place right now too. Its A LOT of work!

Answer 6

Only if your doogie howser. Your babies are gonna need a dad who can support them so you need to finish HS then go on to college and then start thinking about kids. They are the greatest gift there is but why make it hard on yourself then possibly the child may suffer. Wait till you can securely bring this child into the world. Plus you are still pretty young if you had kids now your childhood is over. I know you think it already is but it's not enjoy your youth for it gone far too quick. Experience a few things before you decide to settle down. Kids are alifetime commitment are you sure your ready??????

Answer 7

No its not cool to be immature and trying to raise a child to be responsible and a good person. You are too young and you sound spoiled,(my parents are rich) thats the way losers think. Grow up, finish school and get your own job and get a life before bringing another life into this world.

Answer 8

Sure it is. You are growing up and maturing and thinking of the future. Just don't go doing it at 16. You don't need to be a dad at this age. Wait til you are out of school, college, have a good direction in life. Bless You!

Answer 9

I wouldnt recommend it to be honest. Having a baby isnt as easy as it looks. I am 19 and have a 3 month old son and I love him to death, but my husband is in the Marine Corps, stationed in Japan and it is really hard to be the only one taking care of him. If I were you I would wait. Your teenage years are the funnest thing in the world if you dont have any responsibility.

Answer 10

100 years ago, people that age started families all the time. It is OK to think about it, but you are probably too young to start having a family, as there is the economic factor to think about, and wouldn't it be better to go out and have some fun for a while.
