There are lots of older women who have kids and can't take care of them either...

I had my first child when I was 17 years old. When I was 16 I graduated high school, and I also obtained my CNA and CMA in the same year. Not every person who is young and has kids are unable to take care of them. Some people are ready for the responsibility before others are, I know people who are much older than me and have several children who are less able to take care of them than I am of taking care of my own daughter. But then again where I went to school it has become a "fad" to have a baby. Its the thing to do. A lot of girls get pregnant on purpose not realizing the responsibility that comes along with being a parent, or they just don't care. There are a lot on insecure teenagers in the world, maybe they think that a baby will love them when they feel like no one else does.

I think that this question is very rude.... I had my first child at the young age of 18. I now am 21 and am 10 weeks along with my third. I love my kids with all my heart and they always come first. There dad is no longer in the picture after a five year relationship. I feel like I am doing just fine raising my boys. I have a full time job making enough to give my kids what they need and want so far in life. I live in my very own place and always seem to make things work without any help from anyone else. My kids dad helps out when he feels the need. My parents are only there for emotional support. I do NOT receive any help from the state. In fact the only help I do receive is a daycare program offered by work. As far as school I did finish high school and am slowly but surely working on my nursing degree! Therefore I am different then the stereotype young person with children you placed me in. THANKS JERK! I Believe that I am doing great in fact better then most people who are later in live with children!!!!!!

i had a baby at 19. i have never thought i made the wrong decision. to ask this question, and to answer it the way a lot of people have, is ignorant. you know nothing about the love or the feeling of bringing a baby into the world. just because im young doesnt mean im dumb, or neglectful or missing out on life. i did not ruin my life. in fact, i made it better. i was a partier and a drug addict before i got pregnant. i turned all of that around. i dont drink, i dont party and i dont do drugs. i am in college i have my own place, my own car, a full time job and i support my child just fine. becoming pregnant at 18 maybe was not the most responsible thing i ever did, but everything since has been amazing. just because someone is young does not mean they cant take care of their own child. you should look into it a little more before posting questions like this. if you did, you may find that a lot of young parents are more fit than most adults who have kids.

I think there are a lot of reasons why, and I think the girls who do it to keep a man in there lives forever are very wrong and I feel bad for the kids, but some kids who have babies when they are young do turn out fine in the end. My step mother had her first daughter when she was 16, she now is an emergency room nurse and my step sister is now in medical school. Not everyone turns out like that but I still don't automatically condemn young parents to a lifetime of struggle or ask why. It happened and it's not for me to judge those decisions that lead to it.

They don't think when they do something like that!! No one in thier right mind wants to have kids that young!! I think of having a baby as something special. Your bringing a little person into the world and I want to save that special event until I can enjoy it and not have to juggle Homework and Huggies!! I love kids but not for me ( At least not now ).

dont generalize being young with not being able to take care of a baby. i have seen several very young girls do an awful lot to provide the best life for their baby under the circumstances. maybe its because they need the love...either way im sure most dont plan on it, just arent sure how easy it is to actually get pregnant

they do it 2 prove people that have a problem with them becoming a parent young that anyone at any age can become a parent and be a great parent fair enough some are not but then again u get people in there 30s that also aren't good parents
but also can occur due 2 lack of discipline also n education

I agree with the first poster.
Keep in mind, as late as the 50s and 60s it was normal for a woman to only go to college to take home ed. classes and get married as soon as they left high school. Other cultures once married duaghters off as early as thirteen in political battles.
It isn't that strange for cultures to have babies young.

There's no one answer to this problem: broken homes, looking for love in all the wrong places, wanting to be excepted, low self esteem, no dreams or aspirations in life. You see the list goes on and on. How to stop it ? reach out where you can. Become a mentor, big bro etc. You may not be able to save them all but brighten the corner where you can
