First people say its the hardest thing to do because it is. My god, you're 11 years old and you want a baby?? You probably don't even do the chores you're supposed to do at home let alone be responsible for a child. It's not like a doll that will be there to amuse you, something you can dress up and take out and show off and then put away when you're tired of playing with it. A child is a life long commitment, something that even someone twice your age isn't always ready for.

Second, they say it'll ruin your life because at your age it will. You want kids, thats great. But have them when you're a lot older and can afford them and give them the life they deserve. What have you experienced at 11? In a few years you'll be in high school and going on dates and hanging out with friends at parties or dances, just having fun being a kid. You think you'll be able to do that if you have a baby? You need a chance to grow and find out who you are, graduate from high school, go on to college if thats something you want, find a career in something you love to do. Fall in love because at 11 no matter what you think you don't know what love is. But don't have a baby now.

Yes, mothers do think that their children are the best thing thats happened to them, but don't you think that some of them wish they had done things differently and waited to have children? Been able to just be free and do whatever they wanted when they were young? I'm 21 and going to have a baby in 5 months and I know that i'm still not ready. I'm terrified, but that doesn't mean I won't love this child, it just means that if I had been smart I would have waited a lot longer.

You may not be put off at hearing it, but wait until you have to live it. And you're up at 3 am feeding the baby, only getting a few hours of sleep at night because its hungry or sick or fussy. You'll wish you had listened to everyone then and kept your legs closed until you were older.

I have to agree with poohbear except on one thing
having a life!

I go out alot with friends, whether it be clubbing or shopping and im 21 with a 14 mths old. Pregnancy is hard but its not all that bad if you know how to play the game of life.................Work, take care of kids and have fun its still possible. We are six kids and my parents each go out once a week on their own, as for me I go out to the bar 1-2 a month and shopping on payday (this is without the baby) lol!

The problem with alot of moms, they have no patience and it doesnt just come natural you need to take a break which is quite normal.............

The ob gyn told me a story, because I worried too much about going out and he laughed and said better to be relaxed and have a drink..


If a plane were crashing and all the oxygen masks came down who would get the mask first???? Mom or baby?

The mother, why? All due to a survival instinct if the mother is unable to help her child then both are a lost cause but if mom can take a breath of oxygen well then she can help her child and both have the chance to live!!!

not everyone is as lucky as you and me jess...... I know girls that have babies young and their parents don't want anything to do with them and the father of the baby left them. They can't afford a babysitter because they have limited funds. Their friends turn their back on them, they feel as though they have nobody!

I dont know what i'd do with myself if I was in that situation.

I'm so close with both my mom & dad & can't imagine it any other way than that, if it was different i'd die with a broken heart.

that's good!
I'm really close to my mom as well....She is my only babysitter. I don't trust others to watch my kids....Too many bad stories about kids being abused/molested.

I know!

I know this girl who had a baby by a guy who molested his little brother, she even knew he had done it before they even had sex, it's crazy how people think these days.
