I'm sure you know the cause. You actually want to know if it's a good idea or not. I had a baby girl, at 16, and unmarried. I Love my daughter with ALL of my Heart. If I could still have that same child, I would wait until I was older and married. She grew up not knowing her dad. I had a very hard time making ends meet. I didn't get to finish high school then so, I waitressed to feed her. I had no time for myself. I could not afford a babysitter very often and when I could, I worried that they might hurt her while I was gone so I couldn't enjoy myself and would come home early. I worried while I worked, also but, had no choice. Because I was uneducated, I never made much money and could not send her to college to ensure her a better life than she had growing up. The bright side is that I did raise her with lots of Love and tried my best to teach her all the right things. I told her to wait to have kids because you are generally better equiped to have kids when you're older (better education, better job, able to afford better childcare than just a kid from down the street, more knowledge of life to teach your children well, etc) Well, she's all grown up now, married and expecting her 4th child. She's married to a very nice and good man. She's gone to college. She has a great job that she truly loves and she's raising her children with values and morals that I taught her. So, is it the right thing to have a child when you're young? It all depends on you, your circumstances and the Love you will give to your child. If you are still in school, stay there. Babies can wait until you are ready to give them ALL the things they need. They're cute and cuddley but they are also a LIFETIME commitment.

I had a baby at a young age seventeen. I also have a 2 year old 6 month old baby now and I am in my late thirties. It is very difficult when your young to finish school and go to college. I was very fortunate to be able to do so. It really isn't fair to the baby because you don't have a good job a this young age. Your not able to provide financially for this child as you should. The benefits of waiting until you are married and financially stable are better for your mental and physical health. You don't have the stress that you do as a teen.

lets see i was 19 when i was pregnant with my first. I was 20 when he was born. I guess the cause would be sex and the effect would be that you don't have as much as a night life as you would want. However i would not change a thing. i love my sons ( i have two now and almost 23) and i love my husband.( we were engaged before i found out i was pregnant.) and when we want to go out we get my little brother (17) to watch my children while they are sleeping. Really if you try hard enough you can manage. I just think of it this way i will be one of the youngest mothers at graduation and i will be able to have a active relationship with my grandbabies if i ever have them. Good luck .

Cause: Sex with not enough, or any birth control
Effect: Loosing any freedom you once had, being responsible for someone for the rest of your life, and finally finding the TRUE love of your life!
