Start babysitting, you'll see it's a lot of work. Oh, and lets not forget about the $$$.

Yes you are right you are too young. They do have those babies that the schools send home for the experience of having a baby Maybe you should try this. I'm not sure if there are any other programs or places that offer this.
Also, have you ever thought about babysitting? This could help by letting see what it is like to care for a baby or young children and also help you earn money. Just be careful and think about how you feel talk to a professional they could help

I don't think that is wrong to feel this way. when you are around 15-17 you want to be pregnant or have a baby that happen to me when I was young, but you know what you should think really serious about it. about the consequences of having a baby, the cost and the responsibility to be a (single) parent. if you are on high school, You should take a life skills class. they talk a lot about it. Also they can give you a baby(toy) but it works similar to a real baby. you should try it. If that do not work go to the nearest community clinic and ask for help about it .there are a lot of people that will help you to solve this problem.

Oh honey,. . .please please wait until you are older. It's not wrong to want to have a baby, but there is SO MUCH involved. . .I'm not telling you to NOT want a baby, but just from my experience, there is SO MUCH I wasn't expecting. . .my horomones changed, my babies needed some basic medical attention>>asthma, eyeglasses to straighten eye muscles, many throat infections. . .and my firstborn needed surgery at 5 days old. Even in the BEST case senario, I think it'd be important to be in love with the father, have the father WANTING to be there too, have your own house, be able to support yourselves, etc. Then you can concentrate on mommy and me classes, meeting other moms, etc. Right now you want to live your life as a teenager so you have those memories for the rest of your life. A baby changes your life SOOO much, and it's all good, but there is a time for everything, really. I was a young mom, 22 when I had my first, and I still had a great teenage time. ..don't jip yourself out of that!

Most kids your age love children, it's like a fantasy thing. But ask a friend who has young siblings they have to babysit and help look after. Babysit every weekend for your relatives, they will appreciate that.

it's not wrong to think like that.. it's good that you're smart enough to believe you are too young for a child. You could start helping someone out who has an infant or start babysitting. it should really help with experience and you could make sure you really want one.

There is nothing WRONG with wanting a baby. Do you have a job? A degree? Your own place? It is your responsibility to make sure you are adequately prepared and equipped to take care of a child you bring into the world.

It's not wrong to feel that way..you just love kids and want to be a mother. Maybe you could babysit for someone. You could practice taking care of kids, and get paid for it :-)

Honestly, get a puppy. I know it sounds nuts, but you can give that love and attention to a new puppy and watch it grow up until you're ready to have a baby of your own. Congrats to you on knowing you're not grown enough, that take maturity and determination. Good luck to you!

I want you to find someone's infant and keep them the complete weekend. I mean Friday evening to Sunday evening. This will let you see the true responsibility of having a child. It is not fun nor is it easy . Please! take it from someone who knows. I'm sure that plenty of mothers would be willing to let you sit for a weekend. Trust me1
