Answer 1

first of all i think you did a good job answering the question for yourself. Cause you both are in school, and at a young age, i really do think that you both should wait, to see if you would still be together at the end of your schooling and take time to know each other better , cause a baby is a big responsibility, rememeber if anything happens and he leaves you, then you are stuck with a belly ,un-born child no job, cause you have no expierience and no father, so take time don't rush into life, make sure that you can provide for a baby and take good care of him/her. Education is important, you will want the same for your kid, if this boy really cares about you he will wait too, to do things the right way

Answer 2

Having a child isn't a decison you should base on what a bunch of people on the internet say. Obviously you are too immature if you need to do that.
Can either one of you support the child? Who will take care of it while you finish school? Do you know how much daycare costs in your area? Here it runs about 125 per week. Forumla runs about 15 per can and a can lasts about a week, maybe less. Diapers cost around 10 per pack and a pack lasts less than a week. That doesn't include baby food, cereal, clothes, wipes, juice, drs appts ect.....Grow up finish school then start your family.

I was a teenage parent. I had to drop out of school to support my child, which I thoroughly regret. I never went to college. I never went to prom. My kid is 10 years old and I can tell you that I have been able to go out for an adult night MAYBE a total of 5 times in the last 10 years.
i never had help from the welfare system. I have always paid my own way, and supported myself and my kids. Unless you can do these things without the help of the welfare system, please don't burden it down with more children that myself and other tax payers have to support.

Answer 3

Wake up young lady. You have a life time to look forward to before taking on the job of bringing up a child. Sounds as if your totally ignorant of what it takes to properly take care of a child these days. First off who is going to pay for the birth costs and then who is going to support you and the child. Talk to someone or get counciling on the subject before you jump from the pan into the fire. Your too young to even have such thoughts muchless know what life is all about.

Answer 4

ummm no!!! For starters you may not be mature enough to deal with a child of your own. Think of the sleepless nights, less money, no time of your own. There really is an order to things people do in life, Finnish school, go to post-secondary, get married then have kids. you need to make sure you are in a stable relationship that has a clear future before you have children and you need to make sure that you have finnished school because it will be near impossible to go when you have a child. hope this has helped your decision

Answer 5

well that would be difficult to answer beause I for one feel that your too young but my friend had her first at 17 and I had mine at 21 but I think you have to have a LOT!!!!!!!! of patience. Let me tell you how much patience :) My son decided one morning that he wanted to feed the fish,which would have been ok if he hadn't poured the whole damn can in.Then after a good whooping the very next day he decided to do it again.Now I know it was my fault too for not putting the food up right away bu hey at least I don't have to feed the fish for like a year lol.well thats up to you whether or not your ready but trust me it's a huge responsibility and sometimes a headache,I still love my child don't get me wrong but I wish I would have waited because now he will be without his real father,because his father is a jerk!good luck

Answer 6

NO!
Not unless you know for 100% that u could look after the kid!! that means give up
school
career
parties
guys
(booze &
drugs if u do either)

I have 2 lil girls and im only 21.. I love them to death.. but i do regret having them so early in life!!
So much i could of done! I thought id seen everything, done everything there was to do! But u dont realise wat u wanna do until u cant do it!!
Kids come first! if u are really thinking about having a baby then u need to give up school and get a job now!! That goes for ur bf too!!

Oh and btw have u asked ur bf how he would feel about being a daddy!!!???

Answer 7

Are you ready to be an adult and NEVER go out with friends to hang out ? Are you ready for all the sleepless nights when the child is screaming and you CAN NOT sleep ? Are you ready to give up your teen years to go straight into your adult years ? Having a child at a young age will end your teen years and you WILL look back and think......what the hell did I do ? Get ready to be stuck at home while your friends are out running around and having fun. Be prepared for staying up late and having all those diapers to change and puke to clean up. Sounds like fun, huh ? Always use protection and avoid giving birth to a child that you are not old enough to care for on your own. That is a serious responsibility that you are absolutely not ready for ! Good luck.........if you do this, you are gonna need it !

Answer 8

no not a good plan i was 16 when i first had my first kid and now i have 3 boys i am only 25 and i have two kids in school i didnt even get to finsh my school now i wish i had waited i cant do anything fun no more i lost all my friends cuz they didnt have kids when i did people look at you funny to when your so young and have kids so please i hope this helps no kids tell you are really sure you have every thing you wanted to do done

Answer 9

Think about walking through school pregnant, doing homework and caring for a newborn child, how your parents will respond to that, if you have the money to handle another person and then make a decision. I am in no position to say yes or no. It is entirely your choice. But I highly highly discourage it.

Answer 10

Do not have a kid. Do not ruin your future. I'm not saying people who have children young are scum or anything. Although I'm sure they do not regret having their kids, I bet you they wish they could've had them at a later age. Go to school, travel, live your life and have fun. You are still a kid. Wait until you can financially support yourself and a child. Good luck.
