Answer 1

NO! No! No! You need to go to school and get an education! How do you plan to support a baby at 15? Don't you like getting sleep? You make a very strong commitment when having a child.
What about your life? Are you going to just throw these years away? You need to see a counselor, both of you to find out what kids your age should be doing to prepare for the future.
Please listen to good advice. And good luck to you both!

Answer 2

You want a kid now but once it is here within a month you will get tired of it and after you have a baby thats it, there is no going back.

A baby is a lot of money and responibility. Just getting ready for a baby is going to cost you about a thousand dollars if not more. Babies need around the clock care. They can not do anything, you have to feed them , dress them, bath them change them and doing all this everyday gets very tiring.

At 15 you can not even get ajob in most states and at 16 you can legally get a job but onyl work a certain amount of hourse and can onyl get a job that pays like 5 bucks an hour and even with both you and your GF working that is not goign to be enough money to buy for the baby and think about school. How are you going to wake up with ababy during the night and wake up for school in the morning?? Babies usually wake up 2 or 3 times a night and want a bottle and a diaper change and between going to school and working when are you even goign to see the baby?

What is going to happen is your parents and the girls parents are going to have the baby most of the time and be forking over money for the baby and that is not fair to them.

Has your GF even thought about what can go wrong during pregnancy or what the baby can be born with? Babies can be born with mental problems or a deformity or missing a body part such as an arm or a leg. Babies can be stillborn which means they are born dead and females can die while in labor, it is rare that it happens but it s possible and these risk rise with young people.

You have ALOT of growing up to do and plenty of time to have kids and you and this girl do not even know if you are goign to be together forever. At 15 you do not know who you are going to spend your life with, for all you know this girl could move away in a year and thats it, you two are done or worse you two actually have a baby then and she has to move away. Just because she has a baby does not make her an adult, if her parents move away she has to go with them and then you will not get to see your baby.

I can tell that you and her have not thought this threw much and you have really no clue what it is like to have a baby

Answer 3

Volunteer at your local church in their Daycare during church services. You will get 1 hour of some 6 month old kid screaming in your ear, and then multiply that by 157,680.

You can just keep on pretending for a while .... but add some reality to your pretending. The delivery of your baby will cost around $10,000. How do you propose to pay for that. Getting a job pushing carts around the parking lot of the local supermarket (which at 15 is about the only job you can get) will pay you around $5/hr. Figure out how many hours of cart pushing you will have to do.... just to start paying for food/diapers/medical expenses. Newborns go to the Dr. a lot. With no medical insurance, that'll be $100 a pop.... Also once your pretend baby is born, figure on cutting the amount of sleep you have by half, the amount of time you can spend with your friends by 99% and the amount of time you can spend alone with your girlfriend out all together.

And this is just for the first month.... You got 18 years more to go!

Answer 4

Okay this isnt a good idea trust me. Ur only 15 years old theres soo much in life that you can do. Like finish high school go to college. Kids are a lot of work and money. You way to young to want kids.

Answer 5

Hey dude i know what you mean i also have been thinking about having a kid and i'm also 15 but, me and my girlfriend have been thinking about it. We have decided to wait. And listen to these people. Because this how it went down. My parents "over heard" me and my girlfriend talking about the baby. So my father told me to work with him in his construction job ever since august. I'm telling you right now. I have been working my a** off, in the blazing sun, bitter cold just so that my dad could prove his point. He told me "If you really want to have a child you're going to have to work harder than what you are working right now just so that you can support it." Not including that i absolutely had not time to do what I wanted to do like; skateboard, go with my friends, go to parties, or even spend time with my girlfriend. so my advice to you is just wait at least get your GED so that you can get a good job. But if you are going to try to get her pregnant just don't forget this advice that were giving you right now because we're just trying to help... : ) so.....consider the choices and responsibilities because you only have 1 life to live so don't waist it.

Answer 6

I'm 15 and also want a baby very badly, but I realize it's not a viable option. I know that a few months into it, I'll be sick and tired of the kid. Wait until you're older, you have a whole life ahead of you.

Answer 7

Grow up first.
You can not give a child the best lifestyle at 15
and thats a shame for the baby
wait until your older and the baby will have a good life
as you can get a job and

Wait untill your older to have kids
and give them the best you can when your older

Answer 8

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! wait until your married and you have a job and you are a mature adult. maybe you want kids now, but you're an immiture 15 year old boy, what do you know? now don't tell me you're ULTIMATELY mature, because no 15 year old is.

Answer 9

Then get another 2 hours of sleep...??No....and then you go to work, and whos gonna support this baby..HUH?? what you gonna go work at mc donalds and call it your carrer. ITs not a good idea. YOu dont have the right priorities or the big pictue yet...Wait...think about it! GEt a baby born!!!lol

Answer 10

NO NO NO NO NO.....I know that it sounds like a neat idea right now but trust me you don't want the responsibility!! I had my first child at 15..I wish I hadn't (god knows I love her to death and don't regret my decision to keep her..but..) it is so hard and you miss out on so much that i know you are not seeing right now!! I missed out on all the fun stuff you are supposed to do in hs and college and whatever! Please take it from some one who did and chose to take on the responsibility at your age! It is easier said than done! I missed my prom...football games...parties..you name it I missed it! I love my kids but I wish I was able to be a kid when I was a kid! You don't want to do that to yourself or your gf!! Please Please Please reconsider! Finish your education make something of yourself then think about having kids..enjoy your adolescents and experience life!
