You are only 19. You are right. You are NOT ready to have kids. This you already know. Children are a huge responsibility. Take care of your life first, your education and career goals. Make sure you have a job so you can afford all the expenses that a child brings. Then, when you have that security and stability, and you have found the right partner, that's when you may start THINKING about having a child and enjoy being a RESPONSIBLE, RESPECTABLE and DIGNIFIED dad. Give it a few years, you are still too young.

My young friend, to be a dad you must take an active role in a childs like and be there in both the good and not so good. Any man can father a child but it takes a real man to be a dad. If you want to get in practice and your sincere, offer to help out at your local YMCA or Recreation Center, or volunteer with Boy Scouts of America or Big Brothers and Sisters. But do it for all the right reasons, don't go there with any notion that you will bond well with them right from the start like in a marriage it takes time to build any relationship and most often the proof is in the pudding so to speak, when they see you are sincere you will get added responsibilities. Good luck and God Bless.

Anyone can be a Dad but it takes a lot more than desire.. to be a Father, your baby needs diapers, formula , wipes, clothes, a bed, a room, a car seat, doctor visits every 2 months for the first year, medicine, and that is just the first few years, then they start pre- school and your bill goes to the roof.
It is nice that you want to be a Dad but prepare to be a Father, get an education, a good paying job, so you can get married and so your child can clime in bed with Mommy and Daddy!

Oh my, trust me from experience. WAIT...I had my first kid at 18. I am now 35 with 4 kids. You have so much growing up to do. You might not think so now, but in 5 years you will change and grow so much. If you really love kids,and want to make in impact on a childs life, I reccomend joining Big Brothers. I think that is the best way to help a child in need, and give yourself time to grow and learn.

You have plenty of time once you are ready to have children to feel like a dad. I had my first at 19 and I don't recommend it. I love my son and luckly everything worked out wonderfully but 19 is soooo young. Wait, and when you are ready, you can have that wonderful feeling for the rest of your life without any regrets.

wait til you grow up and in the mean time always use a condom .
if you don't you will be a dad and besides the emotional responsibility there is a financial one. don't take the risks until you are sure that you are ready and that means being in a committed relationship. Maybe what you really need is to feel good about yourself. Being a dad is a huge responsibility. Do your child justice by being a good one when you are really ready to commit to it.
