this.

but its ok op, you are trying, taking car eof him and taking care of your education, thats whats most important, that once youll truly be on your own you will be able to offer him something more.

i think that if my child would get prego at 16 or under, i would probably tell her the good things of an abortion. i think a child should enjoy just being a child, not have more responsibility than needed.

i also think that having a child that young, would put me-being the grandmother in a situation just like i would have one more child- cause i would feel like i meesed up-thats why MY child had a child so young, so id probably be the financial party in it. most likely also have something to do with the education of the baby, since- based on my own experience, you are a child at 16 still,...žž

and to end it all   i think you should choose ''being a teen mom'' for your paper  

I got pregnant with my first son at 17 and had him right before I turned 18. I think if your a good mom you deserve to keep your child. If a young mom wants to keep her baby and is responsible enough to care for him/her then no one should be able to take that baby away from her.

Really? Listening to someone say that you shouldn't have your son and that you should give him to someone else didn't make you upset? How can you tell someone they shouldn't be able to have their child? I wonder what makes someone think they have the right to tell someone else that they shouldn't have a kid. If you are willing to step up and put your child first and do whatever it takes to make sure that they have a good life then it doesn't matter if you're 13 or 30. You can be just as good a mom at 13 as you can at 30 just like you can be just as smurffy a mom at 30 as you can at 13. Age doesn't matter, nobody can tell you that you need to give your baby to someone else because they are older. I wouldn't give my baby up for the world and I'll be damned if I let someone tell me that I need to give her to anybody else. She's mine not and not one person in this world has the right to say I shouldn't have her.

A 13 year old can't be a good mom, sorry. At 13 years old they can't work, drive, have zero education. They may be able to love their baby, sure, but parenting is about so much more than that. It takes a LOT more than love and you're fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

They may be a good mom later, but no 13 year old is a "good" parent.

The whole "Oh, well there are smurffy 30 year old moms" argument is so ridiculous. No kidding. There are smurffy parents of all ages, but a 30 year old has a MUCH better chance of being able to meet a child's needs on her own. A 13 year old has NO chance, none whatsoever, of meeting her child's needs without help.

Personally i think it depends on the person. If there immature and cant hardly take care of themself then no they should not be taking care of a child. But if the person is 16 and more mature for her age and know they can and have a plan then hell ya. Any girl can be a mother but it takes a women to be a mom! Im 20 and i absolutely love with all my heart my 9 month old and Im doing a Damn good job with him.

i had my baby 18 and i couldnt imagine life without her. i considered abortion and adoption but in the end i fell in love with her. i still live with my parents but they dont take care of my baby, i do. i still have plans to go to school. they've just been delayed. my mother compliments me all the time on how great i am with my LO. i didnt think i was ready to be a mom, but i wouldnt trade it for anything in the world. i know a women whos around 30 who is really not fit to be a mom and she has 3 kids. when it comes to parenting age is just a number.

No, it's not.

And you should really be more thankful for your mothers help.

If that happened to me, I would be kissing my mom's ass for the rest of my life because I would know I couldnt do it without her.
