too young to be pregnant

what do you think is too young? Or the situation they're in, themselves? I think each 16 17 18 year old is different. My miscarriage was when I was 17 (my 1st pregnancy) but I am the same exact person I was then as I was now (had my 1st child at 20). Same good job job where I could support my son 100%. Same dumbass bd. lol But then I see the most f**king retarded girls on here that just scare the shit out of me that they are going to be a parent to another human being and seems like it's just for attention!!

I can't say what a good age to become a parent is but me and my friend were just talking the other day about how you should need a license to have a child. Some people, ugh. I can't even think about it lol

Its more than just age, IMO. Some girls could be 21 & still act 15 years old. I know when I was 17 & I got pregnant & miscarried. I was in NO position to raise a child. My ex was cheating on me, I was a senior in high school with no job, and wanted to go off to college. Now that Im 20, going on 21, Im so glad I didnt have a baby at 17 because my life would probably be hell because of the no good ass guy who I got pregnant by. If I had to pick an age, I would have to say 14. I think its so sad to see a little girl who is only 14 & basically just got her period & already wants a baby!

I think everyone should wait until they are at least 20, that way they can have there chance to be young and stupid. I know to many 18, 19, and even 28year olds that bum there kids off on friends and family and go party. Im 21 I had my first at 18 and im pregnant with my 3rd and it will be born when im 22. and sometimes I wish I did get to have the chance to be a young after high school, but in the end, my kids are worth it and I wouldnt trade my life for anything

i agree.. it depends on the person, i guess, but i mean, at 14 or 15 you cant tell me ANYONE isready.. and even the older ones, even if the mother THINKS she is ready, what about the father? but then there are girls who can do the damn thing sometimes.. its just sad to see these little girls having precious little babies and arent ready, and there are women out there that are so much more than ready and want one.. i think everyone should have to take a test when the are about 6 months to see if they are. lol...

i think 12 is too young, when i was in 8th grade i had two girls in my gym class that had 1 yr old babies.

If you aren't old enough to drive, get a job, or vote, then IMO, you are too young, lol....

You are to young to have a baby if:
1. You dont have a job or are too young to get a job
2. You cant drive and are to young to get a licence (or a car)
3. You and your BD cant finacially support your child
4. You cant spell simple words like "pregnant" or "dilate" or "cervix"
5. You refer to sex as "doing it"
6. Your parents are the primary cregivers for you AND the baby
7. You are not willing to give up your lifestyle for your child (ie- no drinking, no drugs, not alot of partying)

I was 18 when I got pregnant with my daughter, and 19 when I had her...however, my wonderful hubby has a great job and we brought our little girl home in a brandnew Toyota Camry with all of her own things that we bought ourselves and into our own home..... I am 21 now, almost 22 with #2 coming in a few days... I feel like I am a great mother and wouldnt change being a young mommy for nothing!

I agree. I'm 18 and pregnant with my first but I've already partied enough when I was 14-16 so it's not really in my system anymore. And I also waited until I was married to have a baby.

I had my first at 15, pregnant at 14, and yes I think it was way too young but I was against abortion and adoption over here isn't as 'kind', we don't have open adoptions where I am, so that in itself would have made things 10x harder.

I feel though that both me and my childrens dad have done very well for ourselves, and dealt with the consequences the best way we could have, yes I was still living with my mum when I had my oldest, but she did not help me out in any way, she didn't pay for us (my partner did) she just let me get on with it so that I learnt to be a mother, not reliant on my own.

I had my second at 17, same dad BUT we had our own house a month after he was born, we've been here nearly 2 years now, and we are doing amazingly well for ourselves, he's just been promoted this past year as a team leader, and will be signing on as manager in the next 3 months, we can afford to have our two children and our house, along with many pets lol.

I'm 19 now and my partner 23, we've been together 5 years, we have two very happy and healthy children who want for nothing... yes I wish I would have waited, but I wouldn't change anything for the world!

LOL I agree there is some women in their 30's that shouldn't be parents. It's terrible! Some people just shouldn't be parents and adoption prob be in the best interest of the child....

haha My little cousin is 5 turning 6 in September and she turned to her mother (who had her later at 3  and she was like "I want to have a baby young like Laura" Her mom was like Laura is an adult. She was like "No she's not" lol (I'm 21.... look like I'm 15) She was like I want to have a kid at 14 (because she thinks that's OLD) haha

lol to # 4 and 5

I felt like I was too young to be pregnant. I had just turned 19 when I found out.

i feel like im too young, although im a great mother and i know i will continue to be. i got pregnant a month after i turned 18.
its not just about being ready financially or emotionally, its about being able to be young, too. i didnt get to have all my fun. i was in the best days of my life. i felt like my life was over when i found out i was pregnant. i had my part-time job and my '90 cadillac that i piled full of people and we all went to shows 4 days out of the week, my relationship was going better than i can describe. after i started showing was when it got real for DF and he started getting scared. things are rough right now. especially with the way things are economy-wise. DF keeps getting laid off and it takes a few months before he can find anything. its terrible. we still live with his parents and its going to be a while till we can get our own place.
so obivously, we were too young. but were doing OKAY, i guess. i mean, charlottes taken care of and no one else has had to buy anything for her yet, were still doing that on our own.
i dont think it really matters how old you are. even when youre 25, 30, 40 years old, the emotional aspect might not be there. you can think youre ready but you may not be....
