http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/kinziesmom en-us A baby is not going to cure all of that. I would think about emancipation. Move out, get a good job, get an education. I'm 17 and had my daughter when I was 16. It is tough. A baby is not going to solve your problems, it will probably make them worse right now. We at such young ages shouldn't be deciding to get pregnant. We should think about what is best for the baby. I got pregnant by mistake, I love her to death still, but I didn't plan on having her at such a young age. I'm graduating a year early, I have a good job, I mean things weren't always this good, but I've thought about what is best for Makinzie. You'll need people to support you, money, and a place of your own. Good luck, but just wait please... kinziesmom Wed, 14 May 2008 22:23:46 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/i_m_15_and_really_want_to_have_a 349259 K so you don't even have a house of your own, why plan on having a child? I know it sounds good, but youll change so much in the next few years. Wait until the timing is right. When you have your own place, good stable jobs and what not. It is sort of selfish to have one right now. Wait til you graduate at least, it is hard going through school, and being pregnant. The harmones alone make it hard. Believe me I know. Good luck in whatever you decide kinziesmom Wed, 14 May 2008 22:19:16 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/baby_at_16 349255 thats a hard situation. It is smart to give one up if she knows she can't support it, but then she maybe should give them both up..I don't know. I think she should find a way to keep them together somehow. I hope everything works out. kinziesmom Wed, 14 May 2008 22:13:07 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/twins_60844 349250 okay so my mom didn't even know I was having sex. I got pregnant at 15. Then so did everyone else lol...but thats not the point. A baby is a HUGE responsibility. I've had to CHANGE my whole life. Ofcourse it was my choice to have sex. Wanting a baby is not bad, I wanted one to. But wait, it is much better if you wait. Have fun, do teen stuff. You will miss it. The only friends I have and hang out with are the ones with babies. Just wait until you have a stable lifestyle, with a good boyfriend, fiance or husband. Then when you feel you have enough money to support a baby then go from there. How can you say you want a baby, when you know that your parents would have to support it ya know? well good luck with whatever you decide to do. Get an education, I am graduating a year early, because I've pushed myself to get a diploma for my daughter. Being a teenage mother is not easy. Enjoy being a mother when the timing is right. kinziesmom Wed, 14 May 2008 22:10:02 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_do_i_do_128 349247 Get your boyfriend to find a good paying job. When they baby comes, taking care of he or she will be hard, but it will come natural. Make sure you have a good pediatrician, one that you trust, and that you can call whenever you think something may be wrong. I would also encourage you to breastfeed. I did, for a month, then she weined herself off. It is hard, and painful, but it is so healthy for the baby. Eat good, if you do breastfeed, thats where the good nutrients comes from. If you choose not to, then I would look into W.I.C because formula is expensive. My daughter is 7 months and I spend over 200.00 a month with her formula because it is a special brand. I'm telling you stuff you probably already know lol...Also the natural medicine works good, such as for earaches, the hylands earaches, teething pills, colic pills can be hylands too. kinziesmom Wed, 14 May 2008 22:04:49 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/this_is_so_dumb 349245 I was 15, it was hard but it needed to be done, so I get a doctor, and make sure the baby was healthy. Tell them that your willing to do whatever it takes for the health and care of your baby. good luck kinziesmom Wed, 14 May 2008 21:46:01 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/telling_the_big_news 349227
