I most certainly do feel it is wrong for teenagers to have a baby at any age under 18.
Since most states do not consider a person an adult until they have turned 18, it is certainly irresponsible for someone younger than that to decide to be a parent. It is a huge responsibility and whenever someone decides to have a child at that age, it is that person's parents that usually end up raising the baby. Having to continue their education and miss out on some very interesting teen years, that parents has to emerge into adulthood/motherhood and etc. What a way to spend a young life! What possibly could they provide that baby?
My eldest sister had her first child when she was 15 and it was disastrous. She was not a responsible person at all and the family spent time raising the baby, missing school, ourselves, to take turns babysitting. She was still a child herself, thrust into a grown-up world and never fostered the art of mothering - she didn't want to and you can't blame her (except for doing what she knew was wrong and the outcome of that "fun").
My younger sister decided she wanted "something" and it turned out to be her getting pregnant to get this one guy. She was only 17 and thought marriage was the solution for her unhappiness. She miscarried and though my parents were against it, married anyway. She had another child and the father murdered the baby. Consequently, a bad experience all the way around.
Forgive me my passionate NO for any teen wanting to get pregnant - it just isn't worth it. Especially, today, people have birth control at their fingertips. Give the baby a chance at a decent life - grow up first! Parenting is difficult and the least a person could do is give it their best.
Teenagers should continue their education and fulfill the child to teen years the way it was meant to be (without babies strapped to their hips). Prepare for adulthood the right way - trust me, once you're in it, you'll be longing for those "innocent" days of the past. :)

Children having children. I do think that it is wrong, considering that a teenager does not have the financial means to look after the baby. At these ages teenagers should be out enjoying themselves not taking on the responsibility of a child,

As humans, we are sexual beings. This starts around the age of 12-13 for boys and most of the time a little later for girls (15). I think what is wrong is that the girls are becoming pregnant because of the home life or parenting they are getting at home. They are not being taught about birth control and their self esteem is not being nutured. It's our jobs, as parents, to teach our children and give them the tools so they do NOT get pregnant.
I was a teen mom, my baby is now 16. I was 16 when I had him. Of course I agree I was way too young to have him. I gave up a lot to be a mom. College, for one. But, I don't think it is wrong to have a baby. A life is important, no matter who gave birth to that life.
Families taking care of and loving one another is what this life is about.

In America? Yes. By society's standards having a kid here at 14, 15, or 16 is certainly messing up their future. Kids need to fully focus on education here. If they don't they wont be able to support their future kids. Now if we're talking about Peru or somewhere where kids marry 30 year olds when they're 15, sure. Go ahead and have kids. I'm not convinced they are physically ready, but at least they are taken care of as are the kids.

yes it's wrong...
Teenagers should think how it would b to have a kid while they're young.. they wont b able to do n e thing n e more...
they will b at home changing diapers and feeding the baby instead of being out with their friends.. they wouldn't like that very much now would they?
and how would they support a baby at such a young age because some parents would just kick u out of the house and b likle well good luck with that. it woudl b hard to get a job and take care of the baby. buyin it toys food clothes.. etc. where woudl they get the money..
so yes it is wrong.. u should wait till ur older, have a job, husband, house, and b able to support a baby b4 having one.
i say wait till u get older... so u can live ur life!

No I do not. I got pregnant with my son when I was 13 (raped and got pregnant). I took care of my child 100% I didn't recieve any help at all from my foster parents or the system. I worked to make money babysitting, mowing yards, inhome care for older people and pregnant women. I paid for child care, bills, food, diapers, formula EVERYTHING even though everyone around me thoguht I was stupid for not having an abortion. I moved out on my own when I was 15 and have lived on my own ever since. I am now 20 and sicne my son I have had a 2 almost 3 year old and a 12 and 1/2 week old both girls. We are doing just fine, I graduated HS early and went straight to college.

I believe it is NOT wrong, but they need to think about the responsibilities and consequences of it happening.
In most European countries it is socially acceptable to have children at a young age. These are not thrid world countires, these are successful countries. My grandparents have been married since they were 13/15 and had their first baby at 17/19. My mother married at 16 and had her first baby a few years later. I married at 17 and hope to have my first baby within the next two years. I have wanted a baby since I was 13 and have felt ready for it since I was 15. Age is just a number, I know countless 20 and 30 year olds who should not be parents, while I know teenagers who should.
So, no, I do not think it is 'wrong,' you just have to be mature about the decision and situation.

attempt to be praying she does no longer get pregnant. I purely don't comprehend why interior the international you're able to prefer to have somewhat one at this age. right this is a state of affairs for you: What if the toddler does no longer implant the place it particularly is meant to? fairly it gets caught in her fallopian tube and he or she stories a tubal pregancy? this could kill her! you will no longer have a baby. It takes a surgical treatment or some drugs to make it provide up becoming interior the tube. How undesirable for her! If that doesn't take place the possibilities of her having a miscarriage are very severe. Her physique remains maturing. It desires to be healthful adequate to strengthen via itself, to no longer help a fetus for 9 months. I purely had a miscarriage. i'm a 33 year previous lady with 3 completely healthful toddlers. It grew to become into no longer relaxing, it particularly is an emotional nightmare. Do you particularly prefer to be sure the lady you adore bypass via this?? You completely ought to sensible up. it particularly is not ok!
