Should I have a baby at the age of 16?

Asked by t_ann_h1225 11 months ago, 12 answers.

Ok, I'm 15(16 in three days) , and I am a pretty smart young woman. I want a baby, but I'm still unsure if I should. Mainly because I don't know who I would want the father to be. Or how my parents would react. I mean I have helped raise my nephew, he...

actually keeps calling me mommy, which feels nice to me, but he is not mine. I want my own. Should I?

I think you should wait...
If you get pregnant right now while you're still in school, you're pretty much f***ing up your education and everything because you cant go to school...
so yea, listen to amblessed. xD
you have sooo much time.

oh WAIT until you find the right person and settle down get married then have a baby I did it that way and no regrets I got married at 20 trust me time flies!! there's nothing better than having a baby with a man that loves and supports you and helps out with the baby just be patient enjoy your youth! It would be so hard to meet guys and go on dates and try to find a husband with a baby !

I think a lot of people are missing the main point that screams out at me from your question. That is, you're asking people if you should.

If you're doubtful about having a baby, it's not a good idea. Sure, everyone has little worries when they think about starting a family. But I'm of the mind that, as well as offering a child the financial and emotional support it needs, you have to know without a doubt that you want this baby, and you want to look after it 24/7 for the next 18 years.

All the best, and remember that your time will come, there's no need to rush it.

im turned fifteen this month and started havg sex a couple months ago. since then I've hjad two pregnancy scares.
honestly hun, you may think your ready now, but everything you plan for your life will be ruined. a baby is a LIFETIME comittment. you NEVER stop being a mother, not even when they turne 18. your a monther to them till the day they die, not you. but you dont stop being one until you do.

a baby is a beautiful gift, but even if you think your ready, your not.
you will be someday, I promise.
xx

Just play with your nephew, and you can babysit him a lot if you want. You really need to wait. Don't let Jamie Lynn Spears be your role model. Opt for more of a role model like Mandy Moore.
