what Is Wrong W/ People?
Posted: 10-20-05 08:35am

Why would anyone want a baby at 11, 13? I just don't understand it. I was a pretty screwed up kiddo I never tried to get preggo...I just wish I understood these kids.

When I was 13 I want to have a baby. Someone that I could love and someone that would love me for me. Kids wanting kids is hard to understand. Some kids don't feel loved so they find something to fill it. And you know what that is you got it a child. So don't judge the kid that want babys talk to them try to understand why and help them make the right choice for them not you.

I agree I was 18 going on 19 when I had sex for the first time. And got pregnant and lost the baby at 4months pregnant and now miss that feeling of a child growing I side you and now just feeling empty inside.

i dont agree with that age getting preggo but their going to do it if their dead set for it, the only thing is I think they need to be informed. I was just so upset that ppl could sit there are harass these kids thats a blow to self esteem and your pushing them more towards having a kid because they need that loving feeling. I agree with every post so far and I think you guys are more mature than the other bunch!

I just cant believe they are children wanting children like I said my sister is still playing with toys and not even into guys yet at 11 & 13 so its upsetting anyways thats my two sense.

I don't agree with children that young trying to get pregnant, but I don't think they're crazy for wanting to. Obviously a lot of young girls want babies, look at these boards.

I never wanted a baby when I was 12,13.

Babies never crossed my mind one bit.

I havent been here that long(yes I know its weird for a guy to be in a teen pregnancy thing im just the kinda person who likes to help) but from what ive seen there are girls who dont want to be pregnant aswell, I think though whether they do or not you shouldnt judge they make there decisions and some of them have decided that if there pregnant there at least going to be happy about it

Young girls wanting babies is because they are crying out for unconditional love.

They don't want to be a "parent" they want some one to love unconditionally and hopefully someone to love them back.

Many don't realise - and can not grasp just how exhausting it is to have a baby to be the parent 24/7

being a mom sounds so glamourous, I mean moms are grown up right and can do what they like - yes? Wrong! Moms struggle, moms wish they had someone to hand them all the right answers, even moms who are 20, 30, 40 years old struggle at times and they have life experience behind them.

If you have fallen pregnant then this is a place for support but it is not a place to encourage young girls to get pregnant in the first place.

If you are thinking you want a child sit down and write a few lists.
These list should include:
1. Why I want a baby.
2. My income.
3. My current outgoings (phone bill, make up, cd's, going out).
4. What will I *need* for a baby?
5. How much will those things cost?
6. Where will that money come from?
7. Who is going to get up in the night?
8. What happens if I want to go out?
9. What does looking after a baby for the first 12 months really include?

Have you any idea how many diapers you will use in the first year of life?
Have you any idea how many cans of formula you will need, how many jars of food, changes of clothes?

Can you efficiently look after yourself with out any support (no money from mom, or dad for example) for 12 months?

Kia said it all. Some ladies don't realize that even if you're good at babysitting and you take care of other people's kids all the time, that doesn't mean you'll be able to handle your own. The kids they babysit for eventually go back to their parents. And their parents are the ones paying for everything that baby needs. And another thing these young girls don't realize is that babies aren't all cuddly and lovey right away. They can't show their emotions for a long time. It's not just that unconditional love right away. There are so many struggles involved in bringing a child into this world and giving it the proper care. Granted, I don't think that anyone at any age is 100% prepared to deal with everything that comes with being a parent, but I think their chances are better if they wait a little longer until they are fully developed and have a better grasp on the realities of life. I feel the same way about my decision. It's a lot tougher than I thought to raise this baby and it hasn't even been a month yet. I don't even want to imagine how hard this would have been at 13.

I agree that is young, but that is them, they'll have to learn the hard way b/c it's not easy. I was 15 when I got pregnant and 16 for a whole month when my son came into the world. And it has been a hard go at it. But i'm 18 now and I look back and I don't regret it one bit . I thank the good lord I had him. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was talked down to, b/c I was young and knocked up. And I can't stand when other people do it, not saying ya'll are. But like I said that's them. I wouldn't want no one that young to get pregnant cause I knwo how hard it is. I had to quit school and get my ged. But, i'm going to beg whoever is thinking about a baby at that age dont do it, u r still a child

I was never even interested in sex till I was 15, but I didnt really want to have it, I was more curious of what it was all togeather, then when I was like 16.5 years old then I gave in to temptations and had sex for the very first time. I didnt even really start considering having a baby until istarted haveing sex because I wanted to realise what could happen if I got pregnant so me and my bf talked about it.. Another thing is with these young girls is, are the fathers really going to stay with them?

There was a 12 year old girl on maury today who got pregnant at 11(!!!) and was getting a 13 year old boy tested for paternity. He was not the father and she ran off the stage crying. So not only was she having sex at 11, but she had multiple partners! It made me want to cry.

When my mom was pregnant with me there was a 12 year old in the doctors office who was pregnant.
After I was born I guess we were going back for a check up or something, and my mom said that same 12 year old girl was back pregnant with her 2nd child.

I guess I sort of understand that they want that kind of love being young and all but the fact is they cant get jobs being 12 and 13, at least not good ones to support a family.

Iiiiii dunno

i saw that too...It was sad, but then again I was like "what a tramp". The tramp thing is mostly because she said she was still having sex. The other thing made me sad too, the man dying of cancer meeting his daughter for the first time. I almost cried.

You know i'd be boning the devil. Rawr
