Do you think if I got pregnant right now ( I'm 14 about to be 15) could support my baby? And do you think my parents would let me keep the baby?

Aww precious. Trust me this is not the time to have a child for you. It is hard enough for single working adults. It would especially be hard for you. Trust me. Wait until you find that king that knows how to treat you like the royalty that you are. You are too special and have so many things to accomplish if you set your mind to it. Dream big and go after your dreams. Bless you:)

absolutely not!! don't even think about it!! it's not even legal for you to get a job to even try and support a baby!! you would throw your whole life away by having a baby now...trust me!! you will appreciate it so much more once you are out of college and will be able to have a place of your own and raise the baby the way you want instead of the way your parents think. plus, think about 2-3 years from now when all of your friends are going to clubs and parties...you can't go!! you don't have a babysitter and mom and dad aren't going to want to babysit while you go out and have fun. they had their children and they're grown up now. just be patient, having children is a wonderful thing WHEN YOU ARE READY!! just as an experiment, go to the store and do some math...you'll need 2 cans of formula a week, a package of diapers once or twice a month, brand new clothes every 3 months, AND a crib, carseat, stroller, changing table....the list goes on and on. it's VERY expensive...do your parents a favor and wait until you're out of school.

No, by yourself or even with a boyfriend (who would also be your age) I do not think you could support the child financially.
I don't know your parents but it's a pretty good sign if you have to wonder about your parents "allowing" you to do something that it's probably not a good idea.
When you don't have to question how what you do effects your parents then I think you are in a position to have a baby.

Dear sweet girl,
Now is not the time to have children, you have so much to look forward to graduate high school first of all! Not only that to be single, living the single life and not have worry about a baby. I am sure having a little baby seems all fun but babies grow into kids. It is a HUGE time commitment! My advise take advantage of your youth, your body, your mind, get a education. And in at least 5 years rethink it. Trust me you do not want stretch marks, hemroids, sagging stomach, butt, boobs before the age of 20 and have to wear a one piece bathing suit for the rest of your life! Have fun with your life!

they probably would let you keep the baby but you couldnt support it babies are expensive and take a lot of time you should get a baby that cant walk or anything yet and take care of it to see how hard it is before you do end up pregnant

NO I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU COULD SUPPORT THE BABY YOURSELF. YOUR PARENTS MOST LIKELY COULD. ONLY YOU CAN BASICALLY SAY IF YOUR PARENTS WOULD LET YOU KEEP THE BABY OR NOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN WITH THEM ALL YOUR LIFE SO YOU KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE THEY ARE. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU LIVE OUT YOUR CHILDHOOD BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO GO BY FAST AND THEN HAVE CHILDREN WHEN YOU FINISH YOUR EDUCATION. EDUCATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

NO! And why would you want to grow up that fast. Also, think of the child? You can't get a job at your age and I think if your parents wanted to help raise a baby they would have another one of their own. What kind of Mom would you be with an unfinished education and no income to support a child let alone your self.

speak with your parents. if you are thinking about trying to get pregnant (on purpose) with the hope that your parents would let you keep the baby and help you raise the child, then shouldn't you sit down with them to discuss the situation as an adult? shouldn't they get to contribute their thoughts with you?
as the mother of a toddler, married, with a fulltime job and my husband has a full time job, we find parenthood very difficult - full of joy, but very difficult. i personally wouldn't have been able to do this at age 14 or 15, certainly not alone. and it would have made my parents life extremely difficult and expensive. and if i had to choose for my child, my choice would be to have them at a time when i have more time to spend with them, compared to trying to finish schooling and still being a growing child myself.
good luck

Only you know what your parents would do. If you're determined you could support the baby on your own, but it'd be really hard. You need some support. If you don't have support, give it up for adoption.

my mother gave birth to me at age 17 and it was very difficult for her. Its really not a good idea, youll end up on the streets. My mother and I would be dirt poor without a few lucky circumstances.
