do u think a 16 year old girl is ready to be a mom ?

Question

if you really relly in love dose that even mater when it comes to rassing a kid ?

Answer 1

I'd say no in most cases, but every situation is different. Is a baby really worth losing all that fun you could be having? And money? The time is hardly ever right at 16. It may seem like a good idea until it comes down to having to do it.

Answer 2

When you are 16, your mind is in a state of confusion if you think you have found the love of your life and all that stuff. Life is a long journey and each period of life such as childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age have good significance. If you try to be an adult when you are a child or an adolescence, you are either naive or simply stupid. If you pretend to be a child when you are grown up adult, its the same - stupid. So, do what you need to do at the right time in your life. 16 is the age to have fun - pure fun - go to school or learn some craft to lay the foundation of your future. Not raise babies; afterall, at 16 you are not mature mentally, to foresee the roughness life has to offer later on. At 16, you only think you are really really in love, but what REAL LOVE is, you will find out only after you spend at least 10 - 20 years of "good" life with one partner! So shake it off now.

Uhhh.... No!! I had my daughter at 36 y.o. and wasn't ready. She was born with meconium aspiration (look it up) and spent a week in the hospital. When she came home she cried all the time. She had lots of ear infections and had to get tubes at 1 y.o. People always think babies are so cute and fun. But there is no guarantee that your baby will be born completely healthy. What if it has sickle cell, down's syndrome or some other diseases or malady. Are you prepared for to care for a special needs child?
Love is not all that is required to have a baby. You need money, intelligence, patience and a strong spirit.

I love my daughter and wouldn't trade for anything. But its not easy to raise a child. Its rewarding and sometimes even fun but make no mistake that it is a huge responsibility. You are caring for another human being who will become an adult one day. It's best to wait until you're married and have a partner who is committed to you and to raising a family together.

Answer 4

16 is young, but she could do it --- many others have before!!!

When a 16 year old woman has a baby she grows up quick. Responsablity suddenly takes over her. She's usually more mature at a younger age, and does less activities like bar - hopping, snow boarding, and goofing around. It's not a drag though because she finds new joys that other friends don't have, and usually skips the drama and heartbreak her other friends undergo.

All family's need the support of the families ... her parents and his parents would need to help in; of course if they decide to be jerks and disown her and the baby, well there are many woman's programs to take the place of the family. Additionally, many men will freak out if their girlfriend gets prego at 16 ... this is because he's insecure with himself and he does not have the confidence that he can act like a MAN (and in some cases this is true, he can't act like a MAN).

I hate hearing "You're throwing your life away" if you have the baby ... I wonder what they are trying to get (a sexually transmited disease-oh, yeah, that's a great goal)??? It all seems so shady to me ... how can they not love babies? Weird.

Answer 5

I had a baby at 16. I was very mature, could cook,sew,clean,and had no problems with the baby raising. Understanding my husband was different story!BUT I was not ready, educated or had job training(other than the waitressing I had done since age11) to support the baby and myself when my husband decided he hadn't had enough fun at age19 and left! He wouldn't pay support, dodged jobs that took out social security or insurance and made it hard for me to find him.!! I also didn't understand some of the needs my son had at older ages because I hadn't allowed myself to experience those times in those precious teen years and couldn't help him. According to Dr. Phil, other books, and classes I had in college( I was 30 & had 3 kids but I did it finally!) for counciling, a child's brain is still growing,in the rationale process,until about 18-20 yrs.and cannot make the same decisions that they would when they get over that age. Sometimes young girls have sex with boys because they are needing to feel love and acceptance from a man, their father. They do it subconsiously(without thinking about it). It is because their father isn't around, either physically or emotionally. He can be in the house without ever giving you affection or have a healthy bond between the two of you. Please stay in school to make yourself a better mom and a better YOU so you can handle what the world throws at you when you are fully grown -body and brain! If you are having trouble in school, it could be a learning problem or low self-esteem(sometimes from the relationship that is missing with your dad or abuse or health issues or some other problem from growing up) and you are not aware of it. Talk to a counselor, teacher,principal,parent,or dr. and they will help you with finding what is keeping you from learning easily and how to fix it. If you prepare yourself now you will succeed in being a mom that has everything to offer her kids. Best wishes.

Answer 6

I wasn't ready for marraige, even at 25 years, let alone kids. It takes alot of love but it also takes patience, and time. At 16 I don't think you're ready to give up your free time to give to a child what they need. You should be enjoying your life being a teenager. At 16 you still have plenty of time to be a mom. I became a mom at 36 for the first time. But then again some people mature faster than others. I was not close to mature in my 20's I was too busy partying.

Answer 7

No, a 16 year old is not old enough to be a mother. A mother is the one that has all the responsiblity of preparing meals, washing clothes, cleaning house, taking children to the doctors office, dealing with the issues of school and there are things that at 16 you should be enjoying your childhood. If you are dating and in a relationship with a guy, then if he truly loves you for you, then he will understand that you want to wait until you are at least in your 20s to start having children. Please honey, be smart, get a job, go to school and become something of yourself but not a teenage mother. No you are not ready at 16.

Answer 8

I was once 16 I did not not listen to my mom and I got pregnant at the age of 17. Let me tell you something first hand experience I don't regret my daughter who is now 11 yrs old, But you go through so much that it literally stained you. If I were you I would wait until you are and least old enough to understand what it is to raise a child. Please wait in the long run you will be glad you did!

Answer 9

if you can't spell really or raising then you should not be considering having a kid. No a 16 year old is not ready to have children because you are still a child yourself. Think about it you can't even get into a club right now. If you go to jail you'd go to juvenile hall. you'r not even legal. If I had sex with you (not a dyke) i'd go to jail. Just think about all the things you haven't done. Trust me you have plenty of time to pull your hair out later on in life for your kids. Leave that kitty kat alone.

Answer 10

My mom was 17 when she had me, and we are SUPER CLOSE. If you really think you're ready, but don't jump to any conclusions, and don't let anyone push you one way or another. It's not going to be easy. A kid is a lot of work. You also need to talk to your bf or w/e because he needs to be a part of it too. Be SUPER sure before you even think about something like this. It's going to change your life forever. Seriously. But no one can tell you that you can't, if you really think you want this. Every case is different. Just make sure you're really ready for it.
