I have a daughter your age. But think about this. Your not old enough to have a job, HOW are you going to support a baby? You really should finish school and go to college! You will not be able to hang out with your friends, in some cases not even get to see them you cannot go when you want too, when you want too. If you want a "baby" get a puppy, you can take care of it and treat it like a baby. Your body is not ready for something like this! Really its not!

Babysit... spend some time with a new born, and research what pregnancy *actually* does for your body and your pocket book.
Then think about the baby. ( I had little times when I wanted a kid - and obviously wasn't prepared. This is what I would do...) Are you fully capable of giving that child everything it needs? Wouldn't you and the baby be better off if you got an education and a well paying job first? If you really do love children... then you'll see that your ENTIRE life changes with a child, and you're most likely not ready for that just yet. I'd say... wait until you can give your baby everything you want to... so that you don't have regrets later on.

What is daft?
You are WAY too young to have a baby!
Get an education
Get a job
Get married
Have a place to live
Then think about having a baby
Remember...you don't just have a baby...they DO grow up! I bet you never sat down and thought about getting up every 2 hours at night EVERY night for a few months. You need to think about raising a child, not just having a cute little baby...they don't stay babies for long!

Daft may not be the right word dear. You are way too young to support and care for a child. it's wonderful that you love children. Babysit, volunteer in a children's charity, use your love for children to help benefit a child. Gain some life experience this way. Go to college, get a degree, get a good job. Find a nice man, settle down, then start a family. You will be more prepared finacially, emotionally, and socially for this if you wait. Think about everything a baby involves, dirty diapers, lots of feedings, little sleep, little time for yourself (some days I can't even manage a shower because my children need me all of the time) No time for friends, financial burdens like health care, formula, bottles, clothes, toys, diapers, food, the list goes on and on.

You are insane! Honey, you are only 14. Wait until you are older. Kids are a BIG responsibility. It is a full time job. There is no way at the age of 14 that you are ready for a baby. Finish school first. Get a good job. Then find the right man to have kids with. Dont rush it. It will happen. If you love kids that much, babysit. Dont go having babies because you are only a baby yourself.

What's the hurry? You have plenty of time, and if you really want that baby, you MUST be prepared to provide for it. That is a LOT of work and not nearly the heavenly bundle of joy your inexperienced mind is imagining.
Tell you what: take some formal training so you can mind infants for their mothers and get some practical experience caring for little ones. By the time you've done that for two years, you'll have a much more realistic idea of what's involved. I mean, what you gonna do when, no matter what you do, the infant won't stop squalling? You can't just walk away. You can't hit it. What WILL you do when that happens and everyone is looking at you with disapproval?

What is daft?? Anyways, I think you're too young to be thinking about have a baby, honey! Focus on school now and marriage and children LATER in life! It's the best thing to do! Enjoy your childhood while you can.

Knock it off.
What is missing in your life that this appeals to you.
Instead of being antoher teen statistic, try this:
Get an education.
Develop same sex relationships-these will sustain you throughout your life.
Nurture a career-something you can call your own and be proud of
Get a dog form an animal shelter
Take up some hobbies-sports are good for you rmind, body and self-esteem
When you are older: travel, party, go to concerts, find out what makes you, you.
Date. Date that guy. Get your heart broken. Then date this guy. Break up. Fall in love. Repeat.
When you are finished with all this, meet someone special, fall in love, marry, enjoy some time together and then you may start a family.
Good luck!

You sure are daft plus more.
There is plenty of time for babies in the future, you are so young, enjoy your life a little.
You need to grow up a bit more.
A baby is a bit more than a cute little thing that sits in a pram and smiles at people.
