There's no need for anyone to get pissed
off because of my comments, especially on
a forum.
The difference between you and me are..I
tell it straight up and how it is, i'm not
going to tell the girl to go ahead and
have sex, make a baby and live your life
because obviously, the girl cant even
support herself. If she would have said
she has a job, goes to school and can
support her child then my opinion would of
been totally different.
I think if you can support yourself and a
child then go ahead and have one, more
power to you, but a girl that says she can
get a job, a paper route. Is somebody
that doesn't even deserve a chance at
bringing a baby into this world until
she's much older.
Her life is messed up from what she's told
everyone on this forum, and I personally
thing it's wrong that she would want to
drag an innocent unborn child into it.
I don't think young girls realize how
expensive it actually is, sure maybe they
have helped raise their brother or sister,
bought them stuff. But honestly, was she
there 24/7? When her sister or brother
was balling their eyes out, she had
"mommm" to call to, just to help her out.
You can't do that when you have a child of
your own, unless you want the baby to end
up calling your mom, "mom"
being a mom is hard, period. Being a teen
mom without a job and not knowing half of
what you're talking about is even
harder.
I see some of you comparing me to these
girls, let me fill you in. I have a job
that i've had for over a year. I make
good money and even though I could support
a baby with that money, I couldn't do it
without my moms help (living on my own) I
go to school and I have a car that I pay
payments on every month. I still live at
home with my parents, but would I be able
to support myself as much if I didn't?
I'd have to pay electric bills,gas
bills,water bills,rent,food, not to
mention all the diapers, do you know how
fast babys grow out of their clothes? And
to top all of that off, baby's want things
just as much as we do, toys, a bike,piano
lessons,gymnastic lessons maybe.
Without my mom's support i'd be in a hell
hole, I know this, because I think with my
head. I'm not going to tell myself that
everything is going to be okay, when I
clearly know it's going to be hard.
Most girls realize how tough it is with
the baby's father in their life. Mine
died at the age of 16 years old, he's now
17 and I have no support from him, but
from his mom.
I'm a 17 year old mom to be, with a job
and a good education and I still know
everyday how tough it's going to be for me
to cope with my situation.
This girl is 13 years old, no job, wanting
a baby when she can't even support
herself.
If you haven't gotten the point now...Then
you're the ones that shouldn't be posting,
not me.

Im not comparing and I dont agree with
what she is doing I think it is very
stupid but im not going to judge her
because I was stupid and got preg at young
age too, I just dont like that you pray
for her to get aids or herpes that is not
a very mature thing to say, I dont
disagree with your point I just dont agree
with the way you say it
It just literally makes me ill seeing that
a 13 year old girl wants to have a baby
when she should be playing with barbie
dolls.
I'm not judging her. I'm telling her how
exactly it's going to be if she doesn't
get it through her head that she should
wait. She could wait until shes married
to have a baby and could give it a much
better life, and if she still wants a
child at 13 knowing she could give it a
better life later. Then that's really
selfish of her.

Yes I under stand and I agree 110% with
what your saing. And alot of 11-15 year
old girls want to have a baby, they think
they know how it is going to be the whole
9 yards. Thats one reason I told her to
go and get a baby sitting job. Maybe it
would change her mind a bit being around
the same kids day after day or week after
week you know? Because thier true side
would come out and she would see a
*glimps* of what a mother is like. I know
she can not get the realy feeling of a
mother untill she is one but maybe it
would hold her off a bit. And a baby
needs to brought into a loveing *family*,
not a teen girls fanticy. It needs more
then just a mother, im not talking down on
the women who arent with thier babys
father, there a logical explination for
yall. But a baby does not need to be
*planned* when the father sticking around
isnt sure. & when the guy you are
having sex with does not know what you are
planning. A baby should be planed ( I
know not all of them are, mine wasnt ) and
both the mother and father planning for
the new baby. I dont mean to insult any
one if I did that was not my intentions at
all, sorry if I did.
I think it depends what type of situation
you're in to be wondering if the father
would stick around or not, in most cases
they wouldn't. Teen love doesn't last and
if it does then it's not very common.
I just know if I was 13 and wanted to have
a baby, me putting myself in this girls
situation, I wouldn't want to do that to
myself,my family or the person that I
thought I loved. I find it disrespectful
and selfish, especially if I did that to
my family.
If my situation was any different than it
is now, I don't think i'd be as strong as
I am and I don't think i'd have a positive
attitude, but i'm glad i'm not one of
these teens saying that they're babies dad
left them and how they deny the baby, I
will be a single mom for the simple fact
that my love passed away, and my child
will grow up knowing this.
Like I said in my previous posts, if she
could afford a child, and didn't look up
to her parents, then it would be a
different situation, therefor i'd have a
different opinion. Any girl or person
that says they can afford a baby by a
paper route job is obviously not capable
or responsible enough to have a little
one, she's not responsible right now,
maybe in 6 years it will be different.
If I had the choice to have a baby now or
wait 6 years down the road, I would have
waited. But I didn't have a choice and
believe things do happen for a reason,
except when you bring them upon yourselves
(not using protection and getting
pregnant) I used protection, and I still
got pregnant.
Think of how easy it is to get pregnant
and not use protection, not to mention
std's and all other stuff you save
yourself from, because it only takes 1
time, and that 1 time can change your
whole entire life, unlike getting
pregnant. You can't go back and fix
things if you have aids or herpes, etc.
That's something you'll live with for the
rest of your life.
People are jumping at the back of my
throat complaining about how my posts suck
and how rude I am, but my posts are
honestly the only ones that make complete
sense, along with a few other people on
this forum.

Glad to hear that.
***being brutally honest, and being a
health forum are two different things. I
can understand saying if you continue on
this path you will get either hiv or
someother std...Saying you pray to god it
will happen is something completly
different. ***
Maybe me being brutally honest is being a
health forum to you, but not to me or
other people.
People have different opinions and if you
don't like that, then don't read it.

Hey im not trying to lecture you but I had
my first baby when I was 16 and my second
when I was 18.Let me tell you that kids
are very hard to take care of.I had to
struggle to get where I am today.I had to
work 2 jobs just so I can get my kids
everything they needed.I had to give up my
whole life.Dont get me wrong,i do love my
kids to death but being a single parent is
no fun.I had many sleepless nights and had
no help from anyone.Its the hardest thing
ever and I wish I would have waited.You
are so young,you have your whole life
ahead of you,dont mess it up now.You need
to have a full time job ,a car, your own
place and dont fofrget the benefits.You
are in for a rude awakening.

Good for you hun,
i started at the very beginning reading
this post, and you have come a long way.
You also had to put up with cruel people,
and very sweet and kind people. You must
of had a tough time, but it is good to see
in the end that you are not ready. And im
very happy you made a very mature
decision. Because hun it is sooo tough,
and you have to make so many sacrifices.
Nothing is about you it is about your
baby. I got pregnant at age 15 due to
date rape, and hun it was a long hard cold
journey. I did a whole pregnancy all by
myself, and lost everything. I didnt
belive in abortion, but I knew at 15 I
could not support a child and I could not
rely on my mom (she was a drug addict).
So was I going to be selfish and make my
child suffer a life I had to live everday,
and sometimes I didnt want to be here!
Its making an unselfish desicion not doing
what best for you! Its whats best for
that baby! In the end I found a wonderful
family for my daughter (i did open
adoption). You dont know pain until the
inside of you is torn to peices and pain,
because you miss your daughter, but like I
said it wasnt about me..It was about my
baby growing up to have everything I know
she deserves from life. My daughter is
now 2 years old, and I still see her all
the time. My life has changed drastically
since I was 15. I now 18 own my own
house, my own car, and im getting married
in 2007. Hun I belive that that is when
you are ready, ready to have a baby with
someone you love. I am currently 5 weeks
pregnant, but hun I am ready for this. It
just makes me cry when girls say they are
pregnant at 13-15, just the thought of a
baby suffering, or abortion, or having to
do adoption makes my heart hurt. So good
for you, wait and enjoy your fredom of
being a child!

Just because girls are 13-15 and pregnant
doesnt mean they're baby will suffer. My
friend is 15 with a 3 month old and she's
the best mom i've ever seen.
Most people have been telling the girls
over and over again (including myself) to
wait. But it's about how this girl was
saying she could get a paper route as a
job. And she knows she could give her
baby a better life if she waited a few
years down the road, but still wanted one.
I don't know about you, but I think
anyone of that nature and anyone that's so
selfish the way she is, then I wouldn't
even allow that person to be a mother.
The baby comes first, and any mother would
know this...I don't expect a 13 year old
that wants a baby to understand this.

Look I wasn't meaning to insult you or
your friend. I am intitled to my opinion,
and I have experienced it first hand. You
should have read the rest of my post
before you commented. And yes I agree
that she was being selfish, but she
decided to not have a baby right now.
If you wanted a baby at 13 and everyone
b*tched at you, would you say you'll wait
just to make them shut up?
I would.

Look regardless of that, she said she
wasn't going to have a baby. And who
knows maybe she is sincere, how would you
know if she wasnt? So this topic is
basically over. We do what we can to give
her advice, and its up to her to listen or
not.
She made this post so people could listen
to her and she could listen back, that was
the whole purpose of this post was to give
advice, giving and taking advice is
obviously listening.
Like I have said a thousand times before,
you honestly can't expect every post to be
a positive one.
Is she wants to have a baby more power to
her, but it's beyond selfish to get
pregnant on purpose when you know if you
waited you could give it a better life.
I doubt she'll wait, but she'll find out
how it's like, and will most likely regret
it. Even though she'll love the baby to
pieces, it's not a puppy. If you get
tired of it, you can't give it away.
