My mom put me on birth control so I wouldn't get pregnant

I want to have a baby but my mom put me on birth control so I wouldn’t get pregnant.what should I do?

Answer #1

okay so my mom didn’t even know I was having sex. I got pregnant at 15. Then so did everyone else lol…but thats not the point. A baby is a HUGE responsibility. I’ve had to CHANGE my whole life. Ofcourse it was my choice to have sex. Wanting a baby is not bad, I wanted one to. But wait, it is much better if you wait. Have fun, do teen stuff. You will miss it. The only friends I have and hang out with are the ones with babies. Just wait until you have a stable lifestyle, with a good boyfriend, fiance or husband. Then when you feel you have enough money to support a baby then go from there. How can you say you want a baby, when you know that your parents would have to support it ya know? well good luck with whatever you decide to do. Get an education, I am graduating a year early, because I’ve pushed myself to get a diploma for my daughter. Being a teenage mother is not easy. Enjoy being a mother when the timing is right.

Answer #2

You’re only 14. That’s way too young to have a baby. Be thankful that your mom is concerned enough to put you on birth control.

You have your whole life ahead of you. Don’t go prematurely saddling yourself with an 18 year obligation that immediately prevents you from being free and able to do the things you like to do.

Being a mother is a tremendous obligation. The baby isn’t just a little you or a toy. It is an individual human being that demands your attention 24/7 and must always come first.

The first several years will be hell if you have a baby at this young age. You will lose contact with your peers and end up being stuck at home all the time.

Think seriously about it. Do you have any goals for 5, 10 or 15 years down the road? How does a baby fit in those goals.

The most important thing you should be doing for the next four to eight years is furthering your education and building a storehouse of knowledge as vast as possible. It will be these years that determine your success capability for the rest of your life.

Trust your mother. She really is looking out for your welfare.

Answer #3

Stay on birth control. I personally think 14 is too young to be having sex, let alone having a baby. While it might seem like a good idea now, to have a cute baby around to love and dress up and care for..the reality is..that cute baby isnt so cute all the time, gets sick, cries all the time, needs 24 hour attention and doesnt go away just because you want it to. It is a lifetime commitment. When you have a child, you are a mother first and everything else second. At 14, you should be experiencing all the things a typical 14 year old should be experiencing, like dating and high school and boy drama…not compounding that with raising a child as well. Think about being 18 having a 4 yr old and all of your single childless friends being able to experience typical teen life..being carefree and going out with limited responsibility. Having a baby is going to change ALL of that..you are responsible every minute of every day of the rest of your life for another human being..that’s pretty serious.

Answer #4

Stay on birth control, do the right thing. Theres nothing wrong with wanting a baby, but actually having one is a whole new issue.

Answer #5

you want a baby at 14? you need to grow up a little before you think of having one…

Answer #6

Answer #7

Babysit for free to neighbourhood kids…Maybe you’ll come out with a better perspective of things

Answer #8
