How about you wait till you are married and financially stable to have a baby. Yeah they are cute, but its so much more then that. You may think now that you are in the right position to have a child, but you aren't. You are way to young, go out and enjoy other things. My friend is a responsible 18-year-old and she just had a baby and she already hates it. Before she had the kid she was so excited, well not anymore. I hope you make the right choice, don't put a baby in the middle of this. Its not the right thing to do.

P.S
You HAVE to expect rude comments when you are almost 16-years-old and wanting a baby, think about it...

If you wait until you have finished high school and your husband (you are going to marry, right) has gotten a full time job, then you will be able to enjoy motherhood so much more. You and your husband will know that your baby will have the benefit of a more stable future. After all, what we all want is to be able to give our kids a future even better than our own.

Good Luck!!

Hi. Don't have a baby now. I'm 22 and last year I ended up getting pregnant with my boyfriend of 5years. I wasn't even ready to have a baby. I know I could raise it and be a loving mother, but I knew I wasn't financially ready. Both my boyfriend and I still in college. He'll be done in May and I'll be done in a year. Do you and your boyfriend a favor and not have a kid until your out of school and married. It will make it a lot easier and be better for both of you and your family.

The last two questions you posted where about your cocaine addiction and the other one was about how your a cutter. Those are two clear signs that you aren't ready. Tisk tisk... not good.

How does it suck?
Lets see...
You posted questions saying that you want to have a child and that you think you are ready. Then you turn around and post a question about your cocaine addiction and another about how your a cutter. Sorry, but thats just not right. I guess the truth hurts.All I did was answer your question honestly, your not always going to like the advice people give you, don't get all mad about it.

Stephainef987's advice does not suck, it's just not what you want to hear. The problem is, she's absolutely right. You are too young to be considering having a baby, and if you're cutting it's a sign you might not be emotionally stable enough to have a baby anytime soon. Let alone the fact you are addicted to cocaine - do you really want to give birth to a baby that is also addicted to cocaine? That would be very very irresponsible.

If you ask a question, you're always going to get advice. It just may not be advice that you want to hear.

I hate to say anything but you shouldnt get mad at stephanie, shes right. being a cutter and addicted to cocaine are really bad things and shows that you might not have your life in control right now and thats not a terrible thing, its just not a good enviroment to have a baby in.

If he leaves how will YOU support the baby.
I know now your in love and he'll never leave you but think smart. If he did what would you do?
Grow up and give your baby the best life you can. Think of your baby first. Baby's deserve the best. Your not thinking of diapers, formula, doctor visits. ear infections, colds, clothes for the baby, medacine. It takes a lot of money to raise a baby and you want the best for them. Your young. Enjoy life and your boyfriend. Use birth control and plan for your future and your baby. life will be a lot happier. Might not be perfect but a lot happier.

wait until you are financially stable to support the growing costs of having a baby, you need to go to college and then get married then have a baby. you are so young and may think that you are with the man you love and will be for the rest of your life but babies change things and you don't want to bring a baby into the world and then have your life fall apart.

I'm sure you being sixteen you love to go out to party's have fun, meet new people, and such, remember that having a baby is a HUGE time commitment, and think about how you would feel (I'm not by any means saying this could happen-but instead a worse case scenario) if you had no father, a mother who can't buy you new clothes for school because she's paying for her cocaine addiction, and who feels his mother doesn't like him/her because him/her sees his mother trying to take her life away with cutting...
