hey I know you posted this up like in the
way beginning of this subject but I just
read it and was like wow this girls pretty
smart. You are offering that 13 year old
some really good advice but yet at the
same time you are not putting her down :)
you are just letting her know that bottom
line hey it's hard, and the guys don't
always stick around.
But I also wanted to tell you that i'm
proud of you for being so strong and for
keeping your baby i'm 21 and 4 months
pregnant, married to the guy who got me
pregnant , now that's not always the
case....And I know for a fact that if I
was in your situation I know that I
personally could not handle it and would
be stressing out but that's why I wanted
to tell you i'm proud of you for being so
strong because not everybody can handle it
so well when they are younger and on their
own so to speak. But you got through it
so far and i'm sure you'll continue to get
through it and be fine. Good luck and
continue to be so strong!

My god, I have a friend who is 22 with a 2
year old baby, she has a loving family who
was sympathetic enough to help her when
she got pregnant (no husband). If your
family has been through some rough times
having a baby is going to make things
worse not better, there is a really good
chance that you might be kicked out of
your house and then a paper route wont
help you at all. I have another friend
who is 18, her mother used to beat her,
i'm not sure what happened to her dad, but
now she lives by herself. She has 2 part
time jobs, one at mcdonalds and one at a
restaurant where we both work, and live
isn't easy for her, she is always
stressed, and never gets much sleep. I
don't think she could survive if she had
someone else to care for. I know I have
no control over what you do so if you
decide to have this baby, go ahead, just
let it be know that your life will not be
as fun or as easy, as if you had waited
untill you were much older, no matter how
much help you get, your baby still needs
your support and your loving, not anyone
elses... Consider yourself warned

good advice for the young 'lil girl! I'm
4 months pregnant but i'm married (about
10 months now), I just turned 21 at the
end of july but we're ready.....We wanted
to start having our kids at a young age.
We want 2 kids but that's it! :)
good luck and for everyone who reads this
reply - really think before doing...If you
want to have babies that's great; but be
prepared for all the doctor appointments
for your pregnancy also afterwards all
appointments for your babies well being,
diapers, formula, clothes, cribs, the
whole works, and most of all have a lot of
patience and love!

I'm 17 and it wasn't untill this year that
I realized how much tings are. I'm a guy
and I still live at home but I have my g2
(i'm canadian) so my parents are sending
me to do shopping, and I work part time so
they are buying me less and less so i'm
now getting a feel for how expensive the
world realy is. Things may seem cheep but
they add up fast, and they really aren't
that cheap anyway. There is a reason two
parents have full time jobs. A paper
route for a year might cover you for a
month. So have fun with that

You Need to Read This Posted: 08-11-05 19:40pm
Did you know that anyone who gets pregnant
under the age of 17 or 18 is considered a
high risk pregnancy. That means extra
medical attention for you and your baby.
Just by getting pregnant so young puts you
and your baby at risk for tons of
different problems that no pregnant girl
needs to go through. Your body has not
reached the appropriate "child-bearing"
age yet, which means your reproductive
organs are not even fully developed! Not
to mention since you are so young you
probably had poor nutritional habits which
is not good for the baby at all. I hope
you take everyone's advice and wait to
have a child. In a few years you'll back
and realize what a stupid and selfish
choice it would have been to have a baby
at thirteen.
If they get pregnant, their body is stable
enough to have a child, small,fat,round or
anorexic. It's all the same.
There is a chance of complications,
there's a chance of complications with
everyone, everybody is different, so you
actually can't judge someone by how young
they are, them being young has nothing to
do with them having more complications
than a grown woman would.
I have a lot of young, pregnant friends,
some have even had their baby already,
their pregnancy went just fine. The
nutrition thing is true, but as my doctor
told me, I can eat what I want to eat, I
can go to fast food places once in a
while, I can pig out on chocolate if I
want. The baby takes what it needs.
People usually only watch what they eat
during pregnancy so they don't gain more
than needed. But even a person who isn't
pregnant should also eat healthy,
apples,grapes, etc.
I'm 3 months pregnant and am about to pig
out on some sonic restraunt food, and
trust me. I'm not going to feel guilty
one bit. :d

From what I can see you've chosen to keep
your child and I respect that whole
heartedly! Don't let anyone take your
love for your baby away. I'm 19 with an
unexpected pregnancy as well and am now
planning a wedding and there are people in
my life that will not carry over to my
child's. It's not going to be easy but do
not stress over it, it's not worth it! I
know with sickness it might be hard for
you to stay in school but you at least
need to finish high school and college
eventually, especially now that you're
going to be a single mom! Maybe when the
father grows up and realizes what he did
he'll gain responsibility and want to be
what he should've always been. But
sometimes not. Best of luck seriously!
Whenever you get down or discouraged just
think about your baby. I feel like time
stops when I just put my hand on my
stomach, and it was surreal when I heard
the heartbeat. I disagree with what was
said 2 posts above me I believe. It would
be selfish of you not to bring this child
into the world. If you made a mistake and
that mistake's reprocussion is pregnancy
then you should take your "consequence"
responsibly and not take your baby's life
because of a choice you made. But it
sounds like you already realize that, even
if some do not. :) if you need anything
let me know! Many many blessings to you.

Wow there is a lot of judging and cussing
at this girl. She came here for advice,
yes I see that it went in one ear and out
the other. But if she's like me, once she
gets one thing on her mind, she won't get
it out of her head till it comes true.
Some people can tell this girl advice
without cussing her out or calling her
stupid or anything like that. I'm 16 and
possibly pregnant. If i'm pregnant, did I
want it? Yeah I love kids. I've been
around them for 6-7 years now. I know a
lot of about them. They weren't my kids,
but still I do know all about appointments
i've tooken a lot of kids to appointments,
I know how much they cost, I know how much
everything cost. I know it's expensive
for caring for kids, i've bought stuff for
kids and yes with my own money.
Girl that started this thread, you should
listen. My ex sister-in-law was only 15
when she got pregnant. Had a baby boy at
16. She was just like you, wanted a kid
so bad. But also she enjoyed sex,
partying, drugs, and all that good stuff.
She left. She took her kid with but then
called my brother to come and pick up his
son and take him to er because she refused
to. If he didn't come and get him he
would of died. He didn't have a bath for
week or more. Hasn't been fed or nothing.
Then she got a new boyfriend and tried to
kidnap her son back. Came into my brother
apartment saying that she wanted to see
her son. She asked for a picture of him
and when my brother went back to get a
picture her boyfriend and her took my
nephew and ran. The cops stopped her but
couldn't do nothing because she was
underage.Then my brother was fighting for
custody. He got joint custody but then
said screw and took her back and 2 months
later she got pregnant again at age 17 and
had a baby girl at age 18. After she gave
birth she left my brother and took the
girl with her. Now my brother has both
kids because she told him that she wanted
nothing to do with him. Couple days ago
she called and said she wanted to come
back and said she wanted to be a mother
again. This is her 6-7 time asking to be
taken back and he took her back all them
times. But this time she overdosed on
something and it scared her. My brother
said no and said if I had the money I
would file for divorce right now. The
girl will be 20 in october and she already
messed up her life within 5 years. She
didn't graduate. She dropped out in 9th
grade. She doesn't love her kids. If she
did, she wouldn't of done anything like
this. She was only 2 years older than you
when she first got pregnant. And once she
gets them on weekends she never keeps
them. She takes them to her moms house
and leaves. The oldest one, that is a
little older than 3, doesn't want nothing
to do with his mom. He is smart for a 3
year old, he knows very well what his
mother did to him and doesn't want nothing
to do with her. My niece is just the same
way. When the mother comes to see them,
she doesn't come up to her. She runs away
from her.
Do you want your kid to not want anything
with you? I'm not saying that this will
happen. You might be a great mother. But
there is no possible way you can when your
just 13. I do get frustrated sometimes
when a baby doesn't stop crying and i'm 16
soon going to be 17 and i've been around
kids longer than you have.
Now please, just listen to these girls.
But don't get upset when these girls are
cussing you out. That's life. But if you
get that upset when just people around
your age do this, you will not be able to
handle a new born or even when they get
older, they get the mouth, you will not be
able to handle it.
But I can't think of anymore to say. I
don't think I repeated everything everyone
keeps saying. I haven't cussed you out or
called you stupid. So actually listen to
this reply.
Hope you listen.

No problem, I don't think I ever mentioned
that I was a guy... It's just one of
those things that doesn't occur to you to
post
I have no respect for any girl who wants a
baby who doesn't have a job,money or a
car.
If you're 13,14 and up, if you have a job
and a car, can afford your child then go
for it. But I want you all to know that
money doesn't buy love, it doesn't buy how
you treat your child, it all depends on
yourself.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful or mean
towards anybody, but some of you don't
realize how hard it's going to be until
your actually in the situation, until you
actually hear the crying,see how much the
diapers cost, etc.
I know that I don't even realize it yet,
and I admit that i'm terrified to hell
about it. I don't believe in getting
pregnant on purpose unless your married or
have been in a relationship for years.
And I honestly depise young girls that are
13 saying how much they want a baby and
how they could take care of the baby with
a paper route job. Does none of you see
how messed up that is? I'd rather die
than be in that situation.
I would rather wait until I was 30 or not
have any children at all, than to put my
child in that situation, because I know
that if I wasn't able to support my baby,
if I still lived at home, didnt have a car
and no job then why would I even think
twice about having a baby on purpose?
Shouldn't that be the last thing on a 13
year old's mind?
When I was 13, I went skating everyday and
hung out with friends, went to school and
made my parents proud. I wasn't even
thinking about sex at 13!
I think it's sad and dissapointing.

Dont do it. Your family will hate you.
Theyll all think that your dirty and will
think of you in a very different way.
Watch jerry springer and the maury show.
:wink:
To make a point, every family is
different, and I think if your parents
won't support any decision you ever make
in life then they're not worth having
anyways. I couldn't imagine my mother or
father hating me for something that
happend.
My mom and dad are completly supportive in
me being pregnant, have been supportive in
every decision that i've made.
I would never feel the need to get
pregnant on purpose, for any type of
reason whatsoever, for someone to love me?
For my guy to stay with me? Girls are
retarded these days...They don't
understand how stupid they actually make
themselves when they make retarded posts
like these. It's simply sad and
pathetic.
I know a few of you don't like my posts,
but I won't change them because some
people on the internet want me too. I
might be a teen and pregnant aswell, but
im not the ones making posts about how I
want to get pregnant on purpose and how I
dont have a job or I dont go to school. I
can support my baby, this I know.
I dont have to ask these girls if they
could support a child, because just from
their posts. I feel sorry for a lot of
you, but none of you will get my sympathy
when you brought a problem as this upon
yourselves.
Your childhood will be ruined, you'll have
to grow up overnight and sooner or later
you won't have any friends left because
you can't go out and party or have fun.
It will soon get annoying, and you won't
have anyone to look to but your parents,
what to do when your parents turn you
down?
You figure it out, as ive said in previous
posts, it doesnt take a genious to use
common sense, but then again I dont expect
12,13,14 or 15 year olds to understand the
way life works.
You'll not only ruin you're life, but
you're child's aswell.

Hiya all
thanks for all those replys I have read
through most of them I will carry on
reading through!Thank-you to the ones who
arn't being nasty to me and being bad
mouthed, I do appreciate what you are all
saying and yes I do understand I am to
young to have a child because many of you
think I wont be able to support the baby
give it love and attention pay for food
ect well I would try my best and thats all
I could do and thats all any mum could do.
I havn't made my decision yet I do have a
bf and we have talked about having a baby
and yes he has said to me he will have a
baby if he thinks he will be able to stay
with me.He wouldn't leave me to be a
single mum on my own he isan't as sick as
other men! Yes I know you all think im
wrong and at first no I didn't listen to
what you guys were saying but I myself
think im making the wrong decision but I
think if I try my best I will be able to
get through it.
I wouldn't reck my life I would reck my
school life but I have already done that I
have got kicked out of school 3 times and
im not in school at the moment im looking
for a new school but know doubt I will get
kickd out of that one 2. Well I have lost
all my friends because of something that
happend with my x bf and I but thats the
past.
Im making new friends now and I hope they
wont turn against me.
I am always stuck on the computer so I
dont really go out and theres not really
anywhere to go out around here. So I dont
have much of a life to be honest.
So basically you're life is hell and you
want to drag a baby down with you?
Yeah that's something a mother would do
alright....
A good mother would choose not to have a
child just because her life isnt right at
the moment, a mother wouldnt have a kid on
purpose at 13 with some boyfriend that
promises to stay with her.
You're not going to find your soul mate at
13 dear. It will end sooner or later,
just to let you know.

Xxelliexx...You even said yourself that
it's the wrong decision but you'll just
work through it.. Well if you even think
it's the wrong decision then why do it..
Why not wait until u definatly know that
it's right.. I could understand if you
were already pregnant ..But your not (or
so you have said) ..So why not wait until
u know that it's right before ttc.
