You are not weird for wanting a baby. You just don't have the ability to reason beyond what your desire is (to be able to love and be loved by another being) and what reality is (that there is more to caring for and parenting a baby than even you realize). The fact of the matter is you are too young and you would be making not only the biggest mistake of your young life, but that your baby would have to suffer for your mistake as well. There is so much more to this life that you can experience, that you would never get to if you have a baby. Your time will come. Give your life a chance. Be a kid.

Read the sentence that you just wrote. 'Im 14 and want a baby soooo bad am I too young'
HONESTLY, dont you think so? Having a baby is not like getting your own pet. Having a baby means growing up from 14, to about 30 in 9 mos. Why are you having sex at 14 anyway? Where are your parents? Is that why you want to have a baby? For the attention? Trust me, you will get attention, but NOT the attention that you want at 14 years old. You will have to be responsible for another life for the next 18 years of your life. An you will probley have to do it by yourself. There is no young boy at 14 years of age that will help you take care of a baby, go out an get a job, an hold the responsibility for you all. Can you put the child through school? Can you put food in his mouth? What if he gets sick? YOU WONT EVEN BE ABLE TO DRIVE HIM TO THE DOCTOR, BECAUSE YOU WONT EVEN BE LOOKING AT GETTING A LICENCE FOR THE NEXT 2 YEARS!! A baby is not the way to get attention. Thats what it seems like you want. To feel needed. Be 14. Be young an happy. Wait till that time comes in your life. I had my first child at 18. I was young and half the time didnt know what I was doing. I miss being young. I miss having friends, an going out. I miss being FREE. Enjoy your youth. Please be wise about your desicions. Being a young Mom is one of the hardest things I have ever done.

Yes you are too young. Not only mentally, but physically as well. If you get pregnant, you are going to miss out on your childhood. You will mosty likely loose your friends, and the father will not stick around to take care of the baby. Save babies for after high school and hopefully college, when you have a good job, a great partner and you are secure in life. In the mean time, babysit... find someone who has an infant and babysit for them. You will find out first hand how hard it is to care for a little one... if you enjoy the babysitting, then stick with it.. make some money and enjoy life to it's fullest. Check out some of the other questions on here about money and children, teen parents and children... it's interesting reading. If you want to act like an adult, make responsible choices and decisions!

Sweetheart, you are too young to even be thinking about it. You're still a baby yourself. You're obviously not using protection if you're trying to get pregnant. Please, start using birth control. Enjoy being young while you can. The only responsibilities you have right now are going to school, doing your homework, and/or chores you may have at home. Don't get in a hurry to grow up. Being a grown up with responsibilities can be difficult. You're only 14, you're not ready to become a mother. If you got pregnant now, you could/would end up regretting it. Don't do that to yourself or your baby. You've got plenty of time for that. Finish school, go to college, get married, then think about having a baby of your own. Good luck.

Weird . . . no, but you sound very young and foolish. Finish school, and get a career before you decide to have kids. How do you plan on supporting a child? You're not even old enough in most states to have a job. You still have a good 20 to 30 years in which you'll be able to have kids . . . don't rush into it. If you just want to be around babies take up babysitting . . . you'll probably find it's much more work than you imagined.

Yes you are too young, you're still a baby yourself.Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, once you've become an parent you can't get back those fun days where you didn't have responsibilities, where you could just go out and have fun. Being a mommy is a 24/7/365 job there are no days off, no sick days, no vacation days. You cannot return the baby when it stops being fun. Please wait until you are much older and in a committed relationship.

Look, a lot of people are going to tell you that you are stupid, that you are too young, that you really should wait to live your life first... and they are right, but I also understand what you are going through.
First you need to ask yourself a question. Why do you want to have a baby? When I was your age, I was looking for the unconditional love the baby would give, not the baby itself. I never did get pregnant (I've still never been pregnant) and I'm glad for that now.

Are you serious? You are way to young! Please wait! I wanted a baby young to but I ended up waiting until I was 23 and then after it I wished I had waited longer. Now I am 28 and I have 2 boys and I regret all the things that I didnt get to do. Go out and have fun, You only get to be a kid for a short time, you are an adult for alot longer. I know it sucks to wait for the things that you want but it will be worth it to experience the world before your life belongs to someone else.

Extremely idiotic thing to do. If you want a baby then try one out for a while. Be a babysitter and see what it takes.
Then imagine yourself having to take care of the kid, work 16 hours a day (you won't be able to get much of a job at 14.._maybe_ minimum wage), clean your house, pay the doctor bills, buy diapers for the kid, buy food for the kid,pay more doctor bills, pay the rent, pay more doctor bills.
And don't even think about getting on welfare. If you try that, there are people who will block your efforts.

Yes, you are. You may think that it gonna be a piece of piss having a bay but your so wrong. Your probably never gonna go out with friends any more plus your still at school and have your GCSEs in two years time. You should be worrying about your exams first and foremost and not having a baby until your like 25 at least.
