I am a grandmother and have had 2 children. I didn't want children at an early age so I didn't have sex. I finally met a guy and had sex but it was protected and when I finally met a guy I thought would be my everything I took birth control. I had my first child at 26 and my second at 32. At that time I was old for being a Mom. Well I have never been sorry. My Sister had a child a 17 years old and stayed happy for a while. I have never wished that I had lived my life more, becaus I did. My Sister is still trying to "grow-up"
Learn to wait. Everything in good time...patience...

I believe you should let it rest with God for a while. Babies are a blessing and when they are received it can make your life worth living but its not all laughs and smiles. Think about waking up every three hours during school, think about your child suffering because of the education you missed out on, and I would never tell somebody to listen to what others say but always remember words will be shouted towards you and your child. Love yourself for a while first and then considering lovein your beautiful offspring.

BabyHopes 2010 - First of all, you need to get you education. Read your post and look at your spelling and grammar. You are not ready to have a child. Trust me, you don't want to be having the worries of taking care of a child and yourself on a job that barely pays the bills, and that's about all you will get. Even if you did continue in school while you raised a baby, where would the baby go while you are there and at work? Is it really fair to have a child that you have no time with?

I was 18 when I had my son. I can't even begin to tell you the hardship I have been through. There were months I was so poor I had to walk from food bank to food bank just so I could eat. I had to wash all my clothes by hand, ring them by hand and then hang them in my bathroom to dry. I would have bleeding hands by the time I was finished.

I have worked VERY hard since, have finished school and have a decent job, but at what cost? I lost my youth, I couldn't go out with my friends ever so I lost most of them and my son lost time with me that shouldn't have been mine to take from him.There will ALWAYS be a chance for you to have a child, and I am sure you will make a wonderful mother, but if you really love the idea of being a mother than start now by making the best choices for your future children....WAIT.

I have an amazing 8 year old little boy that was 100% worth it, but I put him through a lot while I was forced to grow up. It's just not fair to the child.

you probably should wait....but i sorta going threw the same....
