I am 13 and would love a baby, help please. Posted: 03-22-08 18:25pm
Hello i am 13 and would love a baby.
Ever since i can remember i have wanted
children. In the last year i have been
feeling really down over it, i often cry
myself to sleep just wishing i could have
a child. I know how hard it is to have a
child i have a five year old brother who i
helped raise so i am fully aware of the
difficulties. I am more than willing to
give up anything to have the privillage of
haviing my own child. All i want is
something to love and care for and someone
to love me no matter what. As i said i
know how hard it is to raise a child but
there is something appealing about it. i
am really down at the moment. I just need
some people to talk to.
Can anybody help?

your 13, what could you offer a child?
how would you care or support a baby at
this age, your not even in or done
highschool...something to love, you have
your family and your 5 year old brother to
love, something to care for, you have your
brother and family for that too, your
family loves you too.
you should get involved in something like
an activity because it sounds like your
bored and dont know what to do with the
free time, so you think about having a
child. Have you talked this over with your
parents? or friends? what have they said
about it...i dont think your mother and
father would be too pleased with their 13
year old daughter having a child...they
would be the main caregiver really to that
child, providing a house, baby necesities,
care for you, food, and more.
I think you should think this over, you
have a lot more to live for than having a
child at your age.
Get involved in some kind activity like i
said earlier, so your mind is actively
thinking of something other than a baby.
When your older, and a little more mature,
then think about having a baby, at least
finish highschool or college[if college is
what you want to do]
But i really think you should wait.
At 13 theres alot more going for you than
having a child.

No one is going to help you here. Grow up
some before you want a child. You are in
no way ready to have a child. Your body
isn't even fully grown yet. You can't
drive, you can't work, you're not done
school, you're not an adult, you're not
anywhere NEAR being ready for a child. I
don't care how "willing" you are to give
up anything since you have nothing to
actually give up. A child doesn't have to
love you unconditionally. I don't even
understand where young girls get this
idea. A mother is more likely to love
unconditionally than any child is.
Children can HATE their parents.
Especially if the child suffers because
their mother obviously can't care for
them. And HELPING raise your brother is
NOTHING like actually raising him. Did you
pay for him? Did you go through birthing
him? Did you wake up every time he cried
at night? Did you lose weeks of sleep
because of him? Or did you continue going
to school like usual? The only thing
that's appealing about having a child so
young is the attention you'll get.
Pregnancy is not easy. Taking care of a
child when you're still a child yourself
isn't either.
You're lonely and that really sucks but
having a child will NOT help that or you.
It'll ruin your life and theirs and your
parents or whoever decides to take you in.
Maybe you should seek professional help to
help you get over your desire to have a
child and figure out why you've become so
lonely. You're not ready to have a child
and in no way, shape, or form should you
be trying to conceive. If you want love,
look towards your pre-exisiting family and
friends. That's what they're there for.

i am HOPING she is asking for help as to
how not to feel so down and NOT as to how
to get pregnant...in that case you have my
complete support
i was there to, EVERY young girl goes
through a period where she just wants a
baby, she sees babies all around her and
her hormones go crazy because of puberty
and its just something your mind
wants.....but with that said, do NOT act
on it please, your 13, you have NO idea.
you were what 8 when your brother was
born, you have no clue how hard it is to
wake up in the middle of the night when
all you want to do is sleep, you cant go
out and have fun you cant even go to a
movie when you want anymore because its
hard to find a sitter and its rude to
bring a baby to a theater. also how would
you plan to finish school, its NOT easy
going to school while your battleing
morning sickness and exaustion and
backaches, heart burn, mood swings,
headaches, growth and all that, trust me,
i finished my senior year right after i
had my daughter (i had my final exams
waved because i was in the hospital in
labor) i never got to go to prom because i
had this ginaormous tummy and not to
mention i think i was in the hospital that
night because of false labor. i never got
to relax and take it easy because of
school and work. i never got to enjoy dr
appointments because i was worried about
missing school and i would do my homework
in the waiting room. its NOT fun and its
NOT easy and its NOT something you should
be doing right now.
but like i said, if your asking for
support for the depression your feeling,
its normal and ive been there, i think
almost every girl has, but if your asking
for support on trying for a baby i dont
think anyone can get behind you on that

i agree, if she wants help for feeling
blue and upset, we can give advice for
that, but also insight as to how bringing
a child into the world at 13 is not such a
wise idea for her age and developing
body.
she could talk to friends or her mother as
to how shes feeling, and her mother could
explain some of the things like you did
here Idony, a counsellor might help too,
sometimes all it takes is a little
activity to keep the mind active, because
this depression can come from boredum, i
suffer from depression its also passed
down from my mother and grandmother,
sometimes being bored triggers feeling
blue, usually getting outside, getting
active--nice weather is coming...slowly
lol -- helps those down feelings.

First off, please get on birth control. I
was the exact same way. I'm 18 now and my
baby is due in a month. I couldn't be more
scared at this point. Just remember you
have LOTS of time. If I wasn't on birth
control, my life wouldn't be where it's at
today. You can PM me if you really need to
talk.

Wildflower is correct...
However I just have one simple
statement... theres been so many of these
type posts... I just have ONE bit of
advice... at 13, you want a child? OKAY...
march your little bum up to your parents
and tell them you are planning a child..
see how much longer you want a kiddo then!

honestly, i dont care if its a fake or if
its the same girl that posted before only
with a different name, if its a fake,
theres the very real probability that some
REAL 13 year old girl could come across
this very post and THAT girl needs to hear
this, and if its teh same girl as before i
would tell her this a million times over
hoping just ONCE it might sink in

I was like is this kid for real?????
you need to serious help mentally if this
is genuine and you need serious help
mentally if its a fake because these posts
are for REAL people with REAL problems and
they deserve our true time advice and
effort.
it makes me mad when i read things like
this.get a life.

fake or not, too many girls around this
age come on here saying they want a baby.
maybe one will wise up before posting it
and come to the conclusion that they are
in no way capable of raising a baby at
such a young age.
if you want something to love and care
for, at 13 a baby wont do it for you, its
way more work than you may think goes into
it, why dont you get a small pet?
goldfish, hampster, kitten, giunea pig or
bunny so you can love and care for that
pet instead of bringing a child into the
wold.

nicely said
KrystineM..................also find it
very hard to believe that she helped raise
her brother who is now 5 as she would have
only been 7 or 8 when he was born.

exactally, i mean im the oldest of 4
younger siblings, i helped change diapers,
feed and watched when my youngest sister
was given a bath and if my step mom had to
run to get my other sister from the
washroom i would supervisor my little sis
in the baby tub. I helped baby sit
too...but just because i did all of that
does not mean i know first hand what its
like to be a parent! Hell adults dont even
know what its exactaly like to be a
parent! How could a 13 year old know
that!?

yes very true....im the youngest but still
see what you mean...no way is helping out
like that raising....she needs to go buy a
puppy if this is true if not she needs to
get a grip and let our time go on to
people with real problems.

exactaly, the only other piece of info i
would give her is just mention this
[everything shes said here] to her mother,
and then see if she really wants a baby
after the reaction. no way in any parents
right mind would they condone a 13 yr old
being pregnant.

Well hopefully this girl is fake. I don't
understand little girls wanting babies at
13 and 14 and stuff. I'm 19, I'll be 20
next february and I think I'm too young as
it is.

one thing even if this girl is fake or

a baby will not love u unconditionally for
the rest of ur life
my daughter will turn 5 in july n she is
already telling me how she doesnt love me
anymore LOL mostly cause i dont give in to
her every wish n command but still a child
doesnt always love u unconditionally
