having a child that is in high school?
or having a child while attending high school?
children are a gift! the first "choice" one has is to be responsible enough to know whether or not one can handle being a parent. if your asking this question...for both the reasons above...then your not ready for parenthood, so protect yourself from unwanted pregnancy. AND if you have a kid..and are feeling like this...seek counseling, you have issues that need to be worked out and that is YOUR job...and not the fault of the kid.

I would say that it would have been better to wait to get pregnant. Being so young with so many years ahead to still live. Figure out what you want to be the person that you truly are. While in High school its ok to be a little selfish so to speak. So much is going on in that time period of life that it would be hard for any person not to be. But once bringing a child in the mix that gets lost. Jumping from childhood to adulthood with nothing in between. Having a child is a lot of work, money, responsibility, it is a total selflessness. A teenager should not have to be faced with that kind of pressure. My advice it stay in school and concentrate on you as an individual. The rest will happen when you are ready for it

Children are a gift, and true happiness. But in high school? I don't think so. Girls these days are so young, they are delivering baby's before the learn to drive. This is just wrong. Girls need to take the time in high school to become good women and go to college to enrich thier lives with jobs and good husbands. Then maybe some children. High school takes up enough time as it is, and those 4 years really should be about figuring out what kind of person you will be instead of raising a child.

Having a child while your in high school- no way. Finish school first then you can provide a better future for the both of you.

Yes, I believe it is. My son did quite well in high school. Has a good job, etc. Much better than if he had just quit school. And he had it sort of rough, because his mother died while he was in there. But he still managed well after pulling himself back together again. If you are in there, stay in there. you have your whole life ahead of you. If you're old like me, and just asking, that's ok too.

Kids are always worth it, but if you have a choice, wait. There's no rush and you'll be better able to care for them as a fully-grown adult with a stable career, a home, and a spouse/partner to help you.

if you mean becoming a parent in high school no it's not worth it. Your not mature enough and your life is just starting you'll want to explore your options instead of being limited in careers and fun.

If you mean send your kid to HS, then yes.
If you mean have a kid while you're in high school, then not a good idea.

What do you mean? Having a baby while in high school. NOO!! To much responsibility at such a young age. Wait until you are older.

My kid hated high school and quit as soon as she turned 18.
