I'm 16 and i want a baby.

Lately I've lost so many people, people I love. And I just want someone that loves me as much as I love them. I know I could take care of a baby. I've had a lot of experience. I would be a good mom. I know it, but I don't know if I should. Like I know...

a lot of people will judge me, but I could care less. I know I could give a child a great life. It might be hard but I can take it! And for a few months now, I've wanted a baby. I just need more opinions. Please help. What should I do?

Sweetheart lots of girls your age want a baby and nurture wise I bet you probably would be a good mother, but financially no you won't get a decent job at 16 and most of your pay check will go to babysitting and do you really want to be on welfare, is that really giving your baby a good life or are you just being selfish. I pray that you consider everything. Please seek counseling you seem hurt and having a baby will not improve the hurt you have already endured.Good luck

I think you should really put some thought into it. A baby comes with more responsibility than some people realize.

theres nothing wrong with you wanting to have a baby but you need to wait a few years let the right person come in your life that will make the experience better for you.

I get what you're saying about you losing people you love and you want someone to love you back. I think that's normal. We all want to feel loved. But having a baby is a huge decision. If you'd like, you can funmail me!

Best Plan: education, ring, date, marriage, get financially stable, then baby.

Life is choices - try to make good ones...I wish you the best !!

I get where your coming from and I think you should want until you have found the right person. Having a baby is a big responsibility more responsibility than some people realize. And how are you going to support it. I just think that you should think about it but its your life and your decision.

It really amazes me to see girls that want to have a baby at this age.
What makes you think you can handle a child being a child yourself?
Can you afford to take care of the baby? I mean, WITHOUT help from your parents. It's not their kid, it's yours.
If your this age and want to have a kid, chances are your not even mature enough to handle one.

I understand that mistakes happen, but why go out of your way to take on a major responsibility. The only REAL responsibility you should worry, and take care of is your education.

Anyways, in the end... Its your choice.

Good Luck

If you're looking for love, having a child is not the way to obtain it. If anything, it's one of the wrong reasons to have a child. There is no way on this earth you will ever have the same amount of love from a child as you're willing to give. Anyways, on to facts..

To start, having a child costs a lot of money. You need to have a proper job, good funds, a home for the child to be raised in, plus you need to be emotionally fit to be able to handle a child 24/7. It's a full time job, one which you can't back out of so easily. If you do not have either things, you and your child's life will be extremely difficult. I strongly suggest that you continue on with school so that you can build a proper and secure future for the both of you.

You may be able to take a hard life, but your *future* child shouldn't have to just because you can. I grew up in a very tough living situation and I can tell you from experience that it is NOT fair to a child to have to live with anything short from the best, especially since the child did not pick that life for them self.

There is just a lot to consider before having a child. Me saying this is not me judging you, me saying this is just trying to help. I hope it does help you..

Take care.

I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD WAIT...
LETS BE SERIOUS...MONEY,PATIENCE,FRUSTION, IS A BIGGIE WITH KIDS.
YOU MAY THINK you WANT A BABY BUT I THINK you SHOULD CONSIDER
GETTING YOUSELF TOGEATHER FIRST...
YOU SHOULD TRY SOMETHINGS THAT INTEREST YOU///SOMETHING YOU LIKE TO DO... WELP I GUES IN THE FUTURE IF you DECIDE TO WAIT...YOU WOULD BE A GOOD MOTHER!

A good mother can also fail if her finances are not in order. You need to have health insurance, even a 15 min. doctors visit can cost thousands of dollars.

Your 16 and still in school you cant give a child a good life when your being supported by your parents. Its a lot of work believe me, im 19 I never get breaks and I never get to be with friends because everything goes to my daughter I dont want her around my partying friends. A child of you own you cant give back its for a life time. Dont miss out on your high school years there the time of your life where your free, once you hit the real world its all about working you cant have snow days or christmas vacations all the time. Daycare is expensive how would you pay it? Formula is 30 bucks a can almost you need around 8 cans a month...What are you going to do make your parents support your child...I hope not! Theres nothing wrong with waitting till the right time with the person you love, you would be much more of a happy person so please think about this. If you have any questions you can leave me a message ok. Best of wishes to you
