it's great if you want to spend endless sleepless nights with a crying, hungry baby... have to go out and work to afford diapers and formula.. which are expensive -- and pay daycare while you work, which is another $100 + a week....
it's also great if you don't want to spend time with your friends anymore because you have absolutely nothing in common -- they don't have kids, and yours would probably annoy them.
and don't depend on some guy to take care of you.. it's very unlikely to happen.
then there are doctor's bills, vaccinations, shoes, coats, clothing, beds, dressers, bedsheets, and loads of other things which the baby might need...
so yes it's a great idea... if you are emotionally prepared to take on all the stress, lose your friends and give up your freedom.

Ask yourself this: Would you like to never be able to go anywhere, never have enough sleep, wonder how you will ever become something or have time for anything.Always have your clothes messed up, wonder if you have enough time to take a shower, Are you willing to have no money most of the time, people who judge, have to work overtime at Christmas. Never go to the prom, etc.............Being a parent is a full time 24 hour a day job. Babies grow and grow and it doesn't stop for 18 years and even then you are a parent for the rest of your life. You have plenty of time to be a parent but such a short time to be akid. Take it from someone who has been there, its not peaches and cream, its survival. People don't plan to fail they fail to plan. If I would have had the forceit I would not have had to make life so difficult for myself and the children I had. I love them but it was really hard. I had to wait until they grew up and then went to college. I could be so much further in my career path if I had just planned.

I can't tell you at 15, but I got pregnant at 16, my guy walked off with me 5 and a half months pregnant. He called after my baby was born. By this time he had married his ex and she was pregnant. Our daughters are almost 9 months apart. Anyhow, it changed my life forever. Although I love my daughter, I never experienced prom or my sweet sixteen birthday. I lost my freedom to hang out with my friends whenever I felt like it. I had to become responsible and that is very hard to do under 18. For one, noone wants to hire a minor for the amount of hours you need to keep you and your baby healthy and off the streets. I was almost thrown out of the house by my step-dad, but my mom intervened and I was lucky enough to stay. I thought I had bad sleep habits before..... Uh, not so.. 2 hours sleep at at a time before the next bottle and diaper. I lived exhausted with no support from dear old sperm donor whom I constantly pined over. I worked menial jobs that paid nothing. Then I had to pay someone to watch her while I worked. Life was a constant struggle. And colic. OMG!!! It is horrible when your baby has a belly ache for three days straight and you take her to the doc and find out she is stopped up. You give her karo syrup and all of a sudden cute little baby is shooting out of the diaper in more directions than one. Not to mention how many shirts you will go through from being spit up on. I love my daughter, but being a mom at 17 was the pits... Wait!!!! It is much more rewarding when you are in your twenties.

To get pregnant at 15 is way too early. You need financial support if you choose to have a baby at this age. And once you choose to have the baby, he or she is going to be your full responsibility. Your life will be totally different cos you'll be changing your priorities. And this involve, caring, feeding and nurturing the baby. Talk to your parents and discuss with them further. They are in a better relationship with you thus be able to help you make the right decision.

To be courious about it is one thing, just dont go out and do it. I've always wanted to have a baby and at 15 I figured I was ready. Thankfully I never got pregnant. Im 19 now and pregnant and I can tell you now I wouldnt have been able to handle it than. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband and a very supportive family otherwise I dont think Id be able to do it!

No it isn't weird. Just don't try to have a baby. I wonder the same thing alot, and I am the same age as you. I just remember that I like to have fun and go to friends house and if I have a baby i can't do that. So just keep thinking that. If you like babies, just start babysitting or visiting your lil cousins more often, that is what i do. They are fun unless you have to keep them 24/7. DO NOT HAVE SEX TO HAVE A BABY!
Hope this helps.

Well, look at it this way.
You only lived 3 out of 6 years of your teenage life.
That's about half of it, and I'm also 15 and I feel that it's not enough.
I want to atleast another 10 more years? =p
It's no fun being a parent. Trust me. I have a litlle bratty baby brother and it's no fun at all.
