Answer #5

My friend’s mum always seemed to be picking on her, always resented her. I discovered later that this was because she’d been a young mum too - 20 though, not as young as 16! She just felt that her daughter had taken her youth away from her. No more late nights out, no more freedom…

Be sure you have enjoyed your youth and your freedom before you have children, otherwise you will look at your children as a burden, not a a gift.

Answer #10

unless you are financially, mentally, and emotionally stable, having a child at your age would just not be a good idea. im under the assumption that you either live with your parents or some type of adults who have raised ENOUGH children. Worry about finishing school and going to college. You have your whole life to have children. Enjoy being a kid before having a kid. If you do this, it will give you a better perspecitive on how to raise them. I really hope you take my advice. Youll never regret having children at an older age…but you will ALWAYS regret having them too young. Good luck
