When is a good age to start having kids?

I'm only 15 and just got engaged but I was wondering whats a good age to have kids. I want kids so bad but I know I'm not ready. But my fiance who is 20 is going to be wanting kids. But when I graduate high school I'm going to have to go through 8 years of college. And than I might be going into the Marines, or become a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. I'm going to become a doctor first and than I want to help support my country. And by the time I get out I'm going to be about 30. I want to have kids before that.

So what time should I start having kids? I only want to have 2.

I know it is illegal to be dating someone older than 18 when you are younger but I really dont see why if you are engaged age is just a number right? I don't know thats what I have always thought about

babysitting would be great if you love kids. you could help at a day care place or babysit for neighbors.

15 years old is too young to be engaged! And him being 20 and you being 15 is ILLEGAL!

a good age to have kids is when you are in a stable lifestyle.

ie career, relationship, own home

Dear xxyouramazzing,
Todays women are fortunate to be able to have a career and stable lifestyle before having children. Some think that having children will bring their relationship with their partner closer or they will hold their partner if they fear loosing them. So you have to dig deep as to why you want children so young. You will be gone to college and begin a career...this would not be fair or maybe not even impossible if you have children. Todays women need to set a good example for their children by showing them how important a good career is for self-esteem and self-worth. Continue with your plans for a great future and hold off having children until you have a career in Marine rescue...what a wonderful gift you will give your children.
Sue...good luck

I find it interesting that you think you have your life all figured out at 15. When I was 15 I wanted to be a pilot. Later I learned that even though I didn't wear glasses that I didn't have good enought eyesight to be a military pilot. I went to college to become a jazz musician but even though I had a great time persuing my dream it didn't pan out and eventually I had to exchange my job with my hobby and go into computers. I rode the Internet wave in the 90's and had a heck of a great time doing that.

I didn't have my daughter until I was 41 and that was a good age for me. I don't know what will be the right age for you but I have to point out that our lives often unfold in suprising and mysterious ways. Just go with it for a while and when the time is right for you to be be fruitful and multiply you will know it.

im also 15 and I just had a baby girl me and my girlfriend are so proud to have her its not bad to have a kid at 15 years old it was the best thing that ever happend to us and I will never reget having thing kid
