Shouldn't 14 year olds wait to have kids?

your saying 14 year old should wait, but your only ONE year older. Really, thats no difference at all. Some 14 year olds are probably only a few months, maybe weeks younger than you.

Yes I think 14yrs old shuld wait to have babies…Im 19 and have 2 babies…im struggling trying to provide for them its very hard.

I think anything less than 18 is too young to have a baby… maybe that is too young. Simply because my sister had a baby when she was 18 and again at 20 and she is still living with my parents because she can’t support her. She isn’t keeping a steady job and ends up pushing all the responsibility on my mom! She is taking advantage of all of us and if it wasn’t for her daughter she would be out of house by now. All you little teenagers have no idea what it takes to raise a baby, or you do and you are stupid enough to believe that you can support it!

The truth is you’re too young to have a baby at 14 AND 15. A minimum wage/entry level job is not nearly enough to try and support a kid with - I’ve seen I went to high school with (17 or older too) try and do that, and they simply can’t. What most people forget is that someone pretty much needs to be at the babies becking call all the time, so that means that out of two parents, they can only ever have the equivalent of 1 full-time job between them mostly. And friends and family can only be of so much help - after all, they have lives of their own too.

There is more to life than having kids, and you should try and experience some of that before bogging yourself down with a family. When you’re in a relatively stable financial situation, are mature enough, then that’s the time to start considering having kids.

I like of how you don’t support 14 year olds having babies, but you do support 15 year olds having them…wow. anyyyways. I have a 21 year old sister that I would NEVER trust alone with a baby. I have 19 year old cousin however who could get pregnant at anytime and I wouldn’t even lose a second of sleep over it, she’d be a perfect mom. point being, it depends on the person, but I don’t really agree with it unless you are either EXTREMELY MATURE or if you are over 18 AT LEAST. btw, definetely agree with ashley sims, that baby’s daddy will probably love it at first whenever you are pregnant until they get out of the 5-year-old state of mind that that’s not just fat, it’s a HUMAN BEING and they’re going to have to raise it. then, you’ll be lucky if they even tell you they can’t handle it and they’re leaving.

um no, you can’t get a good enough job to support your baby at 15. first of all you were 14 like 6 months ago so it’s not like you’re any older or smarter then a 14 year old. and second of all you’re the one who needs to stop and think, because you’re in the same boat as those “little kids.” babies cost thousands of dollars of dollars a year, how do you expect to get a minimum wage job, and spend time with your baby? or no wait, is the dead beat dad going to stay at home all day while YOU go out and attempt to get a job? you seriously need a reality check, grow up. I wish sikashimmer was here so she could give you that huge list of how much babies REALLY cost.

I agree with Tina…Anymore you have to be 16 to get a job! And being 15 is no more mature than a 14 yr old..I have a friend who is 18 and has a baby now…and is having a lot of problems raising her child by herself. You may think your baby daddy is going to sit there and stay with you and help you support your baby, at first they are all happy and love you even more but when that baby is born you wont know where he went!

1. Learn to spell.
2. There is no age requirement on pregnancy
3. If a 14 year old couple want a baby then that’s their choice.

The End.

I disagree with everybody im 15 and a mom of 3 and I can take care of my kids.

Okay?…

the age 4 kids should b at least 18 I mean, who would be able 2 SERIOUSLY take care of a lil’ one at 14,15,16,and17?

Yes, I’m sure you’ll be able to get food and housing for you and your baby on the type of job a fifteen year old could get without help from the government and your family. Have a nice life.
