Answer 1

i have a friend who gave birth when she way 15 some may say that this is to young but to watch her and see her and her son together you can see that she is a great mum, She has dealt with so much as her son was born 8 week early and need a tracheotomy (hole in his neck to breath). She has coped much better then woman i know that had children twice here age, so i don't believe there is an age to have kids as long as your mature and have love to give your be a great mum.

Answer 2

There is no age that is too young for every person. Every person is different. You need to make sure that you are emotionally, mentally and financially. remember that once you have a baby you are responsible for this child for the next 18 years. You have to realize that this will be the end of your childhood forever. You wont be able to go out with your friends unless you get a baby sitter. You will have middle of the night feedings for months.
Every penny you get will go to the child, diapers, formula clothes that they grow out of every few months, it gets really expensive.
Adults have a hard time paying these expenses and if you are still in school it will be even harder. Have you thought about how you are going to pay for these things? You can always wait and have a child later but once you have one you are a mom forever. And of you are young enough to be asking if you are too young,then yes you are too young. Wait until you know that you are secure and that you can take care of your baby like the baby deserves.

Hi, I don't think starting a family is about 'age' as such, it is more about what you afford and are you responsible enough to raise a happy, healthy child. Many young teenagers cope well and take the challenge in raising their children while some 40 year olds are selfish and do not put the child first. If you can afford to have a child, why not! It would be unfair towards the child if he/she is brought into this world and has not chance of being looked after or in a stable environment

Answer 4

You're never too young to have a baby. So long as you and the father have decided to spend the rest of your lives together and are ready to have your whole life revolved around this one beautiful being, you are never too young.
I have a friend who was 15 when she had her first and has just had her second and is still with dad.
I then have a friend who was 25, found some random guy to get pregnant with and now uses her baby as some kind of fashion accessory.
Your baby becomes your life, you have to decide if you can make sacrifices as a unit of three - you baby and dad.

Answer 6

I would Say That anyone under 18 is too young because they are Still children themselves. Unless you are Mature enough To have a full time Job and finish school and have a place for your baby To Sleep and Take Care of the baby as well as yourself.

Answer 7

That all depends on the person really..Some people mature a lot faster and would be able to fulfill that responsibility at a younger age to where a 30 year old female who is immature still couldn't... I would however think one could financially take better care of a child if they waited till they finished school and had a decent job...

Answer 10

I don't think it's about age at all, it's about mental maturity and stability. If you feel that you and your husband are able to give your child a safe, peaceful and a stable environment to grow up in then go ahead with it. It's a big responsibility, and parenthood means sacrificing all your means for this child, meaning putting the child's needs and demands above yours.
And more importantly, think ten times over, if you're considering being a single mum, it will mentally debilitate him for life. Only need to study the research on single parent families.
