Im 15 and really want a baby...I dream about having one... is there somthing wrong with me?

More then likely the desire for a child runs along the lines of someone always being there
Raising a child at any age is difficult and more then likely harder when you are young. Having a child at a young age does not crush your future but it will make it a lot harder. This is a decision that is going to effect the rest of your life and chances are the majority of it you are going to have to do on your own as your friends will be more interested in the next party then helping you change a dirty diaper.
Think of all of the things that you want to do and want to accomplish then figure out a way to do this with a crying baby at home thats needs constant attention and a lot of money to pay for basic essentials such as clothes, diapers and food plus a place to live.
Do yourself a favor and wait till your at a point in your life where you can handle this type of responsibility on all levels: emotionally, mentally and financially . Having a baby at your age is going to put everything into pause mode for a good time to come.
Hunny. I know you want a child, but trust me, WAIT! Im 18 and have a beautiful 6 month old daughter, I wouldn't change anything for. But, your only 15. Imagine life with a baby. You can only go back to school.. if your parents are supportive and willing to babysit while you go.. or you can afford to pay a day care which is EXTREMELY expensive (about $200/week) then the cost of formula, diapers, clothes (which they grow out up extremely fast), car seat, wipes, crib... babies add up.. its tough...
all these teens saying that there currently pregnant and its the best thing ever. wait until you have that child yes, they bring you joy but... youll be up all night (you can basically forget about sleep) they will be crying all the time for whatever they want they need all your love & attention you need to be able to afford this baby (please dont bring a child into this world, if you can not afford to take care of it)
im not trying to mean.. just take it from my experience..
A lot of teenage girls have a desire to have a baby. I mean the idea does seem nice doesn't it? Having something to look after and something to love you back. However, this longing to have something to hold and love is just what I said before; a desire. Maybe you're not close enough to people as you could want to be.
Realistically you need to think of all the responsibility you will need to take care of. Babies are so much hard work. And you can't just magic them, you need to be in a loving, trusting relationship. You would have a lot to take care of. You need to have a lot of time and money. And what about your education? You're still in education (I hope) and it will completely ruin it due to the amount of time needed to spend on the baby.
For now we need to enjoy our teenage years. We have plenty of time before we can have a baby :)
Your not bad. I have ALWAYS wanted a child. :) I am 16 and pregnant right now! Don't listen to these people, do what you want to do. But it is a LIFE changing thing that you mmight regret later or you might not. You will have to stay up all night with it, give it everything it needs, have money for food clothes doctors and everything. Yeah, people will talk sh*t but its your life not theirs. I know I'm going to get crap for saying this but I don't care. Don't let anyone get in the way of your hopes and dreams. Just think a coupole years ago, teens had to have a kid at 13, 14, 15 ,16 so its normal. Society has just changed their thoughts and opinions about things. So do what you want, but remember it will be hard. Goodluckk!
hope I helped, xoxo :)
my sister had a baby at that age .now she has 5 kids and she wishes and she can change time and wait . back then she want to go out partying with her friends go out on dates, she would even try to get me or my mom sit for her , but mom told her if your big to have kids then you can watch your own kids !!! my sister miss out on a lot of things like school games, dances and her prom. now she 20 something years old and she still can't have any fun with out her kids. if you do want other 13,14,15,16 even 17yrs people say your going to miss out a lot ..so plez think before you do anything .

All babies bring happiness to their parents ...
Having a baby at 15 will just give you proablems and stress. You wont have a future .
There are too many responsabilities in having a baby. Im 15 aswell and I really dont understand how do you see yourself in 2-3years - taking care of a baby???
In my opinion you should make sure that you study enough so you going to have a well payied job and than a baby that you will be happy of and you will be able to give everything that he wants.
Ok, well I dont know, but dreaming about having a child isnt bad, it is just a lifetime fufillment, I would consider not to act on it though, people think and want stuff all the time, but if everyone acted on impulse, the world would be even CRAZIER than it is now.. :]
no babe there is nothing rong with you,, its fine if you do but I will say this..
if you decide to have one there is something rong with you please dont act on it because honestly that is so selfish to have a baby because your going to riun its life you know?
Biggest mistake of your life! im 15 as well...and I also think of having children, but I think about how selfish it would be. And I also want to enjoy life, babies can wait til im in my 20's because having one now would completely ruin my life and my future.
Realize you are just a baby - hardly dating age - Best Plan: education, ring, date, marriage, get financially stable, then baby...I wish you the best and hope you make smart choices in your life !!
there is nothing wrong with u. kids are great. I wanted one at 15 too. but I wated till I was 19 and it is still hard. just wait. its hard to afford to take care of a child.
yep I would just be one huge mistake your probably still at school so who would provide for it, just take up baby sitting that way you can look after kids
