I don't understand why you would want to truly have a child at 13. I can understand looking forward to the day you do and thinking about that day.. but truly desiring to get pregnant now... Well, let's go over some things if you do this. For one, your body is not yet ready to have a child, so either it will hurt you very badly and/or you will have to have a cesarian which is major surgery and takes weeks of recovery. You cannot drive therefore you would have to depend on someone else to take you to your doctor's appts and someone to take you to your baby's doctor appointments. You don't have a job so you will not be able to afford these doctor's appointments, food for this baby, diapers, toys, bathing utensils and necessities, wipes, blankets, clothing, etc. No one will hire a 13 year old either. What if your parents leave you to fend for this child on your own, because you knowingly had sex to get pregnant?! Therefore you will be forced to find a place to live that will accept a 13 year old. How will you find a place that is free? You can't pay if you don't have a job! And you can't get to a job if you don't have a car. PLUS many places aren't going to hire you if you have to drop out of school. But how else are you going to make it just you this baby if you're goign to school 7-8 hours a day? If you drop out of school at 13... I don't know if you can get a GED that young, but for a GED you have to pay to take the test and you don't have any money so you can't take the test either. The reason you need a diploma or GED is to prove you are able to learn and be taught... can you prove that at 13 if you had to drop out of school? What are you goign to do for the rest of your life?

And think about this... does a baby deserve to have physical problems because his/her mother was too young to actually carry them in her uterus for the full 9 months? And what will you do for those medical bills that build up during that time-- do you deserve to be in dept thousands of dollars? Does a baby deserve to starve, be cold, have no diapers, and no place to sleep because his/her mother wanted to have them without thinking of them (this baby)? Does this baby deserve to have a mother who is going to be so emotionally exhausted by the time he/she is 4-5 years old because of the mental strain this could cause to you? NO to all of those!

I think what is happening here is this... maybe you're having trouble in school, maybe your parents are divorced and/or having a hard time, maybe you feel alone and unaccepted, maybe your parents get on to you alot, etc. I think you want someone to love you, accept you, and want you no matter what. And you think a baby can do that for you, but a baby is dependant on you 24 hours a day including 2 am feedings, 365 days a year, even when you want to go the mall with your friends! A baby is a huge responsibility, emotionally, physically, and financially! If you want someone to follow you, accept you, depend on you, and love you at the end of every day.. then get a puppy!
