Whats your opionion on teenagers - such as ages of 13 - 17 wanting babies?
And explain your awnser please!
Thank you!
I agree with Pwincess, especially the "...As long as they dont go thru with it ..." part. Before anyone has a child, both parents should be through with school and into their professions.
During their teen and early twenties, people are not mature enough to properly raise a child and deal with the stresses that come at them. Child rearing is HARD. It's not just dealing with a smiling baby. It's dealing with crying infant when you can't figure out why, and diapers that never end, and being dead tired because of unending sleepless nights, and runny noses, and throw up that frightens you because you don't know what to do about it, and visits to the emergency room, and, and, and.
I am NOT against babies and children. I have the two most wonderful ones myself (now grown). They are the most wonderful things of my life! But I shudder to think of trying to raise them if I had been in my teens.
Please wait until much later. You will not regret it, I promise.
Good Luck!!
ok I think we all go through a stage, but like princess said, It is one thing to want a baby and know that you are not going to have one,
then to go off and "try" to get pregnant.
I don't think these young ladies are even thinking about STD's. Hello you can die from unprotected sex!!! They are not even thinking about the young man they want the daddy to be. What kind of good lesson's they could teach there child, the money to raise there child and the fact that they loose their childhood.
Being a teenager is one of the best stages in life. I don't think anyone should want to grow up faster then they should
I personally think its ridiculous... I mean, they are just kids themselves. They dont have the money to raise a child They don't understand the responsibilities that come with raising a child. They are just confused children who think its cool to have a baby. They don't see that having a baby change their body... they wont have a lot of time to their selves... they could ruine their education! It actually really angers me.
I dont agree with them actually going to HAVE baby but it happens and personally I would love a baby,but its EFFORT think about it lol stick to neices and nephews (y)
but as long as you have a good succesful relationship and that,and your not like a chav or sket den yeahh I think its ok I think 15 should be the age you have a better age and you think of things more clearly and maturely
:)
I think it is stupid.
I mean why would you WANT a baby at that age? Personally I look forward to completing my education, doing what I want, having a career and a life for that matter. I don't get it why anyone that young would want to be stuck with children?
And baby girl...teenagers aren't babies, but they aren't adults either. Plus she asked for opinions..and that was his opinion...
I think that a teenager wanting a baby could be a normal psychological thing. the problem is that someone in that age frame is incapable of realizing the work, dedication, and responsibility it takes to properly take care of an infant. I wouldn't let someone that age take care of my baby for an extended period of time, so I couldn't imagine a child being in the hands of someone that young.
Terrible - it's babys having babys - ill equipped to handle the situation in every way - extremely poor decision making - life is choices and those come with responsibilities which you MUST be prepared for - their process / priorities should be: education, ring, date, marriage, get financially stable, THEN baby.
"BUT I AM NOT A BABY I HAVE TOOK CARE OF MY SELF SINCE I WAS 2 SO YEAH people who thnk we are babies take a step into my life!"
Humans can't take care of themselves when they're 2...sorry.
After you've pursued a career and are done with school, THEN it's ready to have children. Not anytime before.
I think its a cry for attention. they think they're going to get pregnant and everyones going to give them alll this attention. and they don't realize what they're getting themselves into. its a baby, not something that goes away after awhile. the attention will come, but it will also go.
I think its stupid I agree with the "its babies having babies"
but: if they want to think about the idea then sure go ahead! just dont try to make it become a reality...
having a child at that age would only succeed in ruining your life...
I am so with baby girl on this one I am sexualy active and I am 13 and if I get pregnant I will put it up for adoption BUT I AM NOT A BABY I HAVE TOOK CARE OF MY SELF SINCE I WAS 2 SO YEAH people who thnk we are babies take a step into my life!
I think it is fine! and amblessed, teenagers are not f*cking babies! do they look small and suck on pacifiers all day! NOOO!!! I think as long as they do not do anything to have it, it is just fine!
I think its normal but this does not mean act on it. but I am a teenager and I cant wait to me a mother but I want to be out of high school and stable first and I think you should wait too
My awnser:
I think its terrible!
That baby dosent deserve that! They cant pay for the expencies. & I just think its plain stupid.
I think its normal. We all go thru the stage of wanting a baby. As long as they dont go thru with it I think its fine :)
