Question

Hi I am 14 and I really want a baby. My friend at school is pregnant and I am now soo jealous. I know how stupid it sounds but u no . . .

Answer 1

Ok, so what exactly is your question? You said you know how stupid it sounds, so there ya go.

Answer 2

Oh my GOD honey. STOP right there. You have no idea what you're considering getting yourself into. I know you'll hate to hear this, but you are a child yourself. Trust me, childhood doesn't last forever, savor it. You do not want a baby on your hip at 14. You'll likely be forced to quit school and get on a welfare because a baby takes up all of your time. That's right, no more girls night out to the movies and so on. You'll be home cooking and cleaning, and changing poopy diapers. If anything, feel very sorry for your friend, because her life is going to be so very difficult. If she's parading around, it's because she's clueless of the great responsibility about to be dumped upon her. This girl will likely be miserable.
I am 21 years old, 6 months pregnant, and believe I am STILL not ready for this baby. Please honey, just enjoy being a teenager. Enjoy that cute body without the stretch marks and cellulite.
You're probably just feeling jealous because of all of the attention your friend is getting. That is NOT a reason to bring a child into the world.
Please, don't try for a baby. I'm sure you have so much potential. Don't throw it away.
Pregnancy is beautiful, but it shines most when you're actually ready for it. It's not all glam and glitz like you imagine. There's morning sickness, rapid weight gain, headaches, and the worry that comes along, thinking " How am I going to do this?"

Answer 3

Listen, I am 22 and on my own, and have a 20 month old son. My family helps but it is still the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You have alot of years to have a baby, so enjoy being a teenager first. Having a baby at 14 means no prom, no parties, no boys, just sitting around cooking, cleaning, and changing poopy diapers. Wouldn't you rather wait until you are with sombody you love who can be there to help you with all of that stuff? There is no need to rush this when you have your whole life. And, dont you want to be finished school, and have a career so you can actually provide for your baby? Bringing a child into the world without the means to take care of it the way it deserves is unfair to you both. Think about it.

Answer 4

No,sweetie I really don't no.
Having a child at a young age isn't all glitz and glamour. It may look cute to you now, but what about when prom comes around? No pretty dresses why? because you and your parnets have a child to care for. No teenage years to enjoy why? because you have to stay home with your child. What about cute two piece bathing suits, No why? your body is goingto be out of sorts for 9months and summer is right around the corner.
What makes you think your parents want another child? because that will be the case. Your not old enough to even get a full time job. how are you going to support this child? with your allowance?
Pampers alone are $20-30 for a case. imagine that every week and half or so. Do the math. You will see that now is not the time for a child. Finish school, grow up and live life,get a degree, start a career, get married, then have a child.

Answer 5

A baby is not like one of those new designer jeans or purses that everybody has and you don't. A baby takes responsibility and is pretty much a full time job within itself. 14 is way to young to have a child. Don't feel jealous, count yourself lucky, and continue your studies. Be a kid, your still 14, and while your out with friends having fun, your friend will be stuck at home taking care of her baby. A baby is a wonderful thing but its only fair to you and a future baby if you continue your studies, get a career, marry, and settle in life.

Answer 6

I'm going to be completely realistic. You're an idiot. You're jealous of the attention your friend is getting and you want to wreck your life and burden your parents by having a child at 14? Obviously you need to grow up; you can't even write with proper grammar? You need to focus on school and becoming a productive member of society and your own person.
Don't be stupid, seriously. People at school will think you're a ****. Sorry, it's true. You can't care for a child without a proper education and without money.
Grow up.

Answer 7

Well like you said it sounds stupid. I am sorry you are too young to have a baby. When you are older you will have all the time in the world to be a mom. Pretty soon you are going to realize that you do not have all the time in the world to be a kid. Life is easy and good for you right now so please enjoy it. One day you will look back and wonder why you ever thought this way. If you need a baby fix just babysit hers after it is born, you will soon realize this is not what you want. Babies are not fun and games all the time they are real work. I hope you make the right decisions and good luck to you.

Answer 8

Babysit it you want a baby
How are you going to support a baby?
If you want a baby, babysit
You are 14, you have so much in front of you
Wait, until you are out of high school
Help your friend with the baby
Stay over a few nights, you may change your mind
You have plenty of time of having a baby

Answer 9

you're jealous. for strange reasons. maybe because she is getting all the attention. and that is normal in its own. you are 14. girls get jealous of other girls at this age for all kinds of reasons.

but be realistic...being pregnant at 14, 15, 16, 17, heck at any age before you are financially stable, have a place to live, or have a JOB...is not a glamourous position to be in.

i think you should talk to your mom and a counselor.

Answer 10

I can't say its totally stupid cause I have one and soon another hopefully and I'm only 16 but to be honest your too young. You can't even get a job at fourteen not to mention depending on which state your in its illegal. A vast majority of the states have a law saying that you can't have sex under the age of 16. If you really want kids wait. At least till your of age and can get a job to pay for it. Having a kid is freaking wonderful but its expensive. Diapers, clothes, food, ect. not to mention the stress that it involves so trust me when I say you do not need to go through that at your age. Wait.

Answer 11

Try getting and caring for a puppy first. Take it outside to pee every 2 hours, etc.

I was 18 when my first child was born, and not that I don't love her, but I would have done things differently.

A baby is a responsibility for LIFE.

You need to look inside yourself and figure out why you want it.
