can u explain to me why at 14 you would want a child?..
i'm just wondering?...

Me too. You should wait, finish school first, get a good and stable job. It takes a lot of time and money to raise a child. It is a full-time commitment. You are still a child yourself; enjoy your teenage years!

exactly...
listen to mamaTT..
she knows her stuff

You don't want a baby at 14.
What about all the fun high school days? It won't be so fun with a crabby infant to take care of when all your friends are out having a good time. You have the rest of your life ahead of you.

Please don't write in all caps!!

you may think you are capable of having a baby but you really have no idea what having and taking care of a baby entails. you cannot financially support a baby at your age, and depending on someone elses income is incredibly selfish and unfair. at your age i too thought i could do it, until i took a child development class my sophmore year in high school and realized how hard it really was, how time consuming it waw, and how much money it took. say goodbye to any social life or freedom. you need to grow up still and be old enough and stable enough to be able to support a baby yourself, with a house, a job, a husband.

sweetie thats a very big thing. some people at 20 or 30 years cant cope with there first child. you may want one and have love to give, but reality is you still so young. think bout to when y u were 12, how much have you matured since then. and in a few more years youll look back and see how much you have grown again. YOU are still developing, y you havent even finished going through puberty or adolescents yourself. wait

and stop typing like that! it's not cool to make your i's lowercase!

you don't want a baby, it's just hormones talking.

I am not going to tell you how to get pregnant, you are still very young. Although I had my first child at 16, and I do not regret it, I did miss out on alot of things, and I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone else. You should probobly wait untill your life is stable, and you could afford to take care of a baby yourself, mentally, physically, and finacially.

I was 15 when i found out i was pregnant and believe me it is so much harder then you could ever imagine. I'm in the UK so i was busy completing my last year of school, completing my final exams the last of which being 4 days before my due date, that was hard for me but if you're in the US how are you going to cope at school for however many more years you have to with a child? Do you really think it would be fair to raise a child when you have no qualifications? You wouldn't be able to get a job and even if you did it would be barely enough to survive on. I know i can hardly talk but me and my boyfriend did everything we could to try and prevent me getting pregnant but we are some of the few fortunate ones

I totally agree when I was a little older than you I thought that but please don't listen because even though I am greatful for the son I will be having in a few weeks and I love him to death, I am 20 and I am missing out on so much fun I could be having with my friends. Never mind partying I can't even play volleyball. Nevermind financial stresses. And physical stresses. and mental stresses. (you get the idea)

I could never image trying to deal at your young age but I admire Danzibelle for her courage and strength.

yeah, highschoolers are in NO way ready for babies.

i would know, i'm 15.

some are, like the ones who have their own car, their own job, their own money, and ones who aren't going to leach off of mommy and daddy like she would.
