Its not bad to want a child at 16. And yes being a parent can be the best thing in the world. However it is hard its hard on emotions and on life. I have two children my first was when I was 19 now given I was out of high school but still have not finished college. I never got to go out to parties to go to the bar and have fun. I never had a 21st birthday. Once you have that baby you cant give it back. You have to grow up to fast. I am now married and have two children i am 22. Sometimes i wish i would never have had my children but i would never take it back.
The best thing I can tell you to do is grow up first have fun go to prom go to the bar and party. Have more relationships. I wish some days I would have.

It is not bad to want, only to have, I'll explain. The chances of you actually being ready to care for a child are not good. Even if you have help available it is not fair to the child because YOU are mom, not your friends or parents, you are. If you spend your time taking care of the child, you will miss out on a better education and a much better chance of providing a good and stable life for the child. You have many years to have a child, it is better for you both if you wait.

i have self assurance the same thoughts of the translation of no actual meaning, fee or definition to proper or incorrect. For there is not any such ingredient as proper or incorrect. even inspite of the undeniable fact that many have self assurance there is and % out it as such. All it truly is...is yet another failed theory in the international and in existence.

wrong? no. but honestly, its hard for you to actually know what its like till you go thru it, even if you have seen people go thru it. its a big dicision, don't make it on a whim.
you should make sure you have financial stability and emotional support. aside from the financial and physical changes you go thru, alot of women get severely depressed after giving birth. i wouldn't say i was "severely" depressed, but i was depressed enough i felt the need to talk to someone about it.
also, your education is something to think about. you may think you'll never be able to make it in college, but there are so many opportunities out there, if only you look for them. and one day you are going to want to persuade your son or daughter to finish high school and go to college. if you haven't done those things yourself, it will be hard to hold up your case. you may well end up regretting not doing so. and i'm sure you will want your kids to be proud of you. and you can say you'll do it after you have kids, but somehow, it always ends up on the back burner.
just wait, give yourself time to be a kid!

people your age seem to think of children as accessories. they are cute and fun to play with, as long as they can go home with their parents. at least you know that you would not be able to take care of a child at that age. most young woman think they can. it's hard.

Yeah, but don't plan to get pregnant at 16... I am 17 and most definately did not plan it, but i am keeping it... Just wait until you are an adult and more mature to handle the situation

why don't you volunteer with a day care centre ! that way you can care & love the children that come there and yet you need not have to throw your life away!

It isn't wrong. I had my first at thirteen for that same reason, and another at sixteen. Now I am expecting two more at twenty.
