Measha, a baby is not a doll or a game. It's not something cool to have when you are so young. While your friends go out and kick it with each other you will be left at home caring for a screaming infant. Babies are wonderful to have, but only when you have the love and support of someone behind you and the financial means to take care of one. Don't bring a baby into this world if you can't care for it the way it should be. That's cruel and wrong and selfish. Girl, be something! Enjoy life, have fun! You're young. Get an education so you can make something for yourself, you'll be glad and proud that you did. Make the kind of money you can play with and buy nice things. When that day comes, guys will be falling all over you because you've got your stuff together, you'll be young, happy, have money, nice things....and no crying babies. You can pick and choose who you want. Don't get tied down, it's not worth it right now.

First, I seriously hope this is a joke. Second, you probably don't want a baby. I'm willing to bet what you are looking for something else that you think having a baby will provide. Trust me, I'm a mom, it isn't an easy job. Parenting is sacrifice, disappointment, self-denial, emotional restraint...parenting has its merits but it is NOT something you do to feel better about yourself or your circumstances. A child is as much a burden as a blessing. It really isn't something for anyone to take on voluntarily under the age of 18 or, better yet, 21 or 25. Give yourself time to grow as a person and experience the world. Your children and you, yourself, will benefit from the wait.
Look really closely at what you THINK you will find in parenting...

...I think you should wait to have a baby until you have your highschool diploma, babies is cute and all but when their in their toddler years.. their little animals! Im 18 and im having my first child..And I have 2 abortions done @ 15 and 16.Because i've seen 14 year old girls with babies and a potbelly @ the same time and is robbing drunk mexican guys just to buy that $22 infamil!!I know how it is.Don't have a baby yet your still a baby..I know you wanna grow old with your baby, but if you take good care of yourself, you can wait!!Do it @ 17 or 18 i think thats the best time.. Start saving money up now if you really want your baby, start a little bank account @ Washington Mutual (its free and good)until you reach about $2,000..Then you know your set for a little while.. Babies is EXPENSIVE!! if you know you have guaranteed help from your family, talk to them about how your gonna still go to school and have your part time job and all that ADULT stuff.. Get a bf that you know is going to last a lifetime with you.. You have a gut, take its advice..Don't waste your teen years on sexing men/boys up cuz they're only getting their nut off... Just be on the safe side...

I think you should wait. having a child is a lot of responsibility and you lucky you might have someone to watch the baby while try to make a living. It's hard to raise a child these days look at the Maury show channel 11 and you will see the girls on there that talk about they want a child, but when that happens they be back on the show talking about it hard raising a child. You will see them crying and some can't find their baby's daddy. So just finish your goals and your teens years first before it be too late because you cannot go backwards in life you have to move forward.

girl. u should wait 2 have a baby. it's 2 much responsibility's. if u have a baby now u will miss out on the rest of yo teen years. u wont b able to go hang out wit yo friends or go to party's and things such as that as much as u used to. I'm telling u to please wait for a baby. go on and finish high school and college then start to think about a baby. u r a child/kid yourself. kids having kids don't even make sense.

First, do you have a boyfriend/fiancee, and until your at least 18.
2nd even if you do you probably don't have a decent job, to be able to support you child and you boyfriend if you have one, might not want kids right now. I'm 19 and me and my FIANCEE want a child too, but were not ready right now, we just moved to a new city and the duplex that were in right now we have everything to pay for,and in our apartment, heat, water/sewer, and cable were included. so we want to make sure we can financially handle it before we would start trying.
Last but not least, make sure that you love the person your with. don't just have sex with someone to get pregnant, because then that person could leave and never be in that baby's life. and trying to raise a child on your own, could be really difficult without that extra income, and the extra person.
PLEASE wait until your ready, i know its hard, but it will be worth it. that's why I'm waiting, because i want to give my child(ren) the most i can, and with out the money its not gonna happen.
PLEASE PLEASE WAIT!!

Noooo...you should wait until you're older. You have your whole life in front of you. I am very rarely judgemental, but if you're not even 16...you're still a baby yourself. Enjoy school, life, etc. Have fun sneaking out of your house, and doing things you're not supposed to do. If you have a baby now, you'll change your life forever. Rebel against what your parents want you to do (of course -- everyone your age does), but please consider not having a baby now. You have years and years to go....no rush. I promise!

16 is still to young to have a baby. Take time to be young and have fun. You want to be able to provide a good life for your child and chances are that at 16 that isnt going to be possible. Give yourself time to be ready, you are only young once...enjoy it!
