Is it wrong to be teenage parents?

im turnin 19 in may and my girlfriend is turnin 16 in april
and weve been talkin about havein a kid
is it wrong to have a kid at our ages?

yes, absolutely. and fyi, it's illegal to even be sleeping with this girl, she's a minor :]

yes yes yes and more yes's first off it will ruin your life and honestly no one cares the thing you should care about is that you will be ruining another persons life (your babys)

its nice if you want kids thats great but if you love this girl you will wait and damn her a$$ aint even 16 yet if anything people will look at you as a rapist but your right it doesnt matter what other people think

the greatest thing about having a kid is when your actualli a adult and have lived life because trust me honey you havent even begun with yours

remmember this girl is still a GIRL no matter how old she seems maybe when she gets a lil older she realizes thats not what she wants and wants to bale on you and never say never because she cud I mean look at the super bowl the Giants should of lost but did they nope.

have a kid when your way older this way your more stable and have a car and a house with her dont rush because true rewards are the ones worth waiting for

okayy,
well if you and your girl friend are in love and your really sure that a kid in your lives is what you want that it doesnt really matter wether or not other people think its right, its what you two want and if it makes you two happy thats all that matters

don't be in a hurry to have kids. you haven't even experienced anything in life yet and you can't experience half the things you would want to once you have a baby. even with love and support of a family it's not a good idea. babies cost thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars what you probably don't have. even if people offer to help you out, it's not their responsibility. so I would just wait.

I had my first child at 19... I was scared to death of telling my parents...My dad had a fit...Everything worked out just fine. I am now 39 years old, 4 kids later,,,and on my second marriage...I have never had a 'real Honeymoon' and never have had a REAL COOL NICE VACATION EITHER! Never been out of country...and neither on a plane,,,coudnt afford it with the kids, I love my kids, If only one thing I would change would be WAIT TILL YOUR 30 !!! ENJOY YOUR YOUNG LIFE,,, ESTABLISH IN A FINE JOB,,,EXPLORE,,,TRAVEL,,,HAVE FUN,,,BUY A HOUSE,,,GET AN EDUCATION,,,Date this girl ,,let her grow up, and you too. what is the wait going to do with you, ? nothing,,,What if you divorce, then you have child sapport and spousal sapport, ect...On top of trying to sapport yourself... Why dont you wait, move in with her (when she's of age ) buy a puppy, and take care of eachother as a whole family, and see how your relationship goes when she see's p*ss on the toilet after being up all night while the dog was wining, or when your paycheck cant get her nails and hair done, and why she cant visit mom & dad, because theirs no money, and you cant nueter the dog , because the car broke, and got to fix the car to go to work... Life...their is No Rush !!! Enjoy it while you can...

I don't know the laws in Canada, But in many states in the USA you would be facing VERY serious charges for having sex with a 15 year old when you are 18 ... and you are already facing possible jail time for grand theft (if they want to charge you with that).

Cut this gal a break at least until you get these other charges out of the way.

Some good points in these responses. My question to you: How are you going to support this child? Believe me, at your age you don't want to be worrying about stuff like that. Both of you are so young, go out and have fun. You don't want to be missing out on that right now, do you? Have a kid once you are financially stable...don't rush into it. Be smart, be safe!!

I don't think it's wrong as such, However I don't think you should have one just yet...it takes a lot of work bringing a child up and you have to sacrifice a lot of things...and the actual pregnancy and birth part of it will put a lot of strain on your girlfriend physically and yourself mentally then there is the fact of buying everything for the child getting a place to live going to work to afford the things you want as well as your child, having the time to spend with the child and having your own time as a couple and the time you both need on your own.

I THINK THAT YOU TURNING 19 MIGHT BE READY TO START TO IMAGINE THE
THOUGHT OF HAVING A CHILD. BUT BY YOU'R GIRL FRIEND ONLY BEING 16
I DON'T THINK YOU ARE BEING FAIR.HAVING A BABY IS VERY HARD WORK
AND ITS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED. ARE YOU SURE YOUR IN LOVE
REAL LOVE. YOU HAVE TO REALLY THINK ABOUT EVERY ASPECT OF EVERY
POSSIBLE OUTCOME AND ASK YOU'R SELF ARE YOU READY TO TAKE THAT
CHANCE AND DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT YOU'R GIRLFRIEND IS
REALLY TO MAKE SUCH A LIFE CHANGING DECSION? I KNOW MY ADVICE
MAY SEEM KINDA HARSH TO SOME BUT I SPEAK FROM A GOOD PLACE,
I've'E BEEN WHERE YOU ARE AND THIS IS A SERIOUS THING. THINK MAN.
BUT IN MY FINAL WORDS LET ME SAY BABYS ARE A WONDERFUL GIFT.
AND IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK AND RESPONSIBILITY.

I dont think its wrong I got preg at 16 by my partner who is 17 years older than me
