   My advise would be DON’T.

   I am the product of teen parents and I would advise against it. My parents were 16 & 17 when I was born. Though they both thought they were ready, niether one of them were. My parents did not have the experience, patience, or the knowledge it takes to raise a child nor did they understand the magnitude of bringing another life into the world.

   Please wait.

   I would say..WWAAAIIIITTT!!!!!! I got pregnant at 16, i love my daughter more than anything in the world but god i wish i would have waited. Her father-gone. My bf is her daddy now so it’s not that bad lol
   My money- all to her, none for things i simply want.
   Sleep- wait.. what was sleep? Never heard of it
   Times are hard right now and adding an extra person to the load makes it harder.. Just wait

   I love my boys but if I could have them exactaly the way they are later in life I would have. I wish I finnished off school and had a degree had more money to get them more. I love my boys and dont regret them in any way what so ever but waiting will make your childs life much better off.
   My mother was 16 with me and we cant be near eachother for more than 20 min. She blames me for ruining her life.
   I had my 1st 5 days after my 19th b-day and 4 months later ended pregnant again (same dad) because I just diddent know facts. (was told you cant get pregnant wile breastfeeding and so I wasent always on time with my pill.

   i was a teenage mum by accident ( i WAS on the pill and had only had one sexual partner)!!! and honestly i’m glad i was because i don’t know where i would have ended up if it was not for my children. and i really take offence to the statement above about mummy and daddy looking after YOUR baby. I looked after my children on my own in my own house with the money received FROM WORK !!! i think it is rude and rather arrogant of people to put all teenage parents into one category and i have found there are plenty of women that became mums at an older age that were no where near suitable parents in fact i know of a woman in my area that has had 4 children and all of them live with her mother, this woman was 27 when she had her first child. i’m now in a settled relationship, have a well paying job, a nice home and finished my studies. don’t be so quick to judge as i believe every ones situation is unique.

   the advice i would give to a teenager that is pregnant is to stick out school as long as possible and make sure you have a good foundation of education for future use. and to have parenting courses or find a parenting mentor. this baby is your responsability not anyone elses.

   the advice i would give to a teenager wishing to become pregnant would to speak to other teenage mums get the info. babysit someones child be around somene that has a newborn baby. could change your mind.
   Also i believe a lot of teenage mums that are wanting babies are searching for what a baby represents: unconditional love ( or sometimes maturity) we need to let these girls know that they are loved unconditionally that no matter what there is someone out there that will love and care for them . we all need to remember that while they are maturing they are also still children (sorry if some are offended by calling teenagers children) trying to find where they fit into the world .
   we as adults need to ask ourselves why ! why do these girls feel the need to become a parent at such a young age ? is it to prove that they love their boyfriend or try 2 hold on to him , is it that they want that unconditional love, or do they see it as a way to show maturity.

   i myself didnt wish to become pregnant but it happened and my families beliefs are against abortion but each to their own on that topic.

   I would say it’s fine if the teen is married and has a husband to support her. I’m 19, married, and planning on getting pregnant soon. I never would have considered having a baby before marriage. If there’s just some 14 year old girl out there that thinks she’s mature and loves kids and really wants a baby, then she shouldn’t. Not a good idea. Once she has the baby, she might love it, but then she’ll realize she wasn’t really ready, and then it’ll be too late.

   I would tell them to babysit my 2 year old for just 30 minutes and i bet they change their mind =P

   But seriously I would tell them to wait until they have done everything they wanted to do in life first! Such as collge, partying, random road trips with friends, and stuff like that. And also wait until they get a real job that can support a baby and dont just get pregnant by a boyfriend of a few months wait a few years to be sure you 2 are serious about eachother. It’s so hard having a baby i got pregnant while i was 16 years old and had my son at 17 and its so hard and i get somewhat depressed sometimes thinking of all the things i could have done and the friends i used to have until i became a mommy. I love my son to death but if i could have waited for him i would definitely have waited til i finished college got a career and got married!

   I had my son when I was 17. During the pregnancy all my friends were around and I swore they would be there for ever but they weren’t You don’t get to have all of the fun your suppose to be able to have when you have a child so young. Also colloge would be out of the question because you have a child to raise. These days you need a college education to get anywhere. My advice would be to at least start college and see how the first two years go, I think you would change your mind about wanting a child to take care of so young. Why do you need to have one now? You have your whole life ahead of you!
