I am almost 15 years old.My boyfriend is 16 turning 17.I dont get along with either of my parents. Is it normal to want to have a child at this age? I talked to my boyfriend about it he doesnt help to much. He has told me he would do anything i want because he loves me so much. I told him i think i would want to wait till i am 16 at least. At the moment i dont no i feel like i want to take hold of the responsibilty now.Ill Rate High. Please help me extra ideas etc would be help full thank you.

Right now you only have to look out for one person: yourself. Once you get pregnant that changes; there is now an innocent life who depends entirely on you. "Responsibility" doesn't even begin to describe it. Yes, it's normal to want a child. I did when I was fifteen, and I still do. But real life is a lot different than your fantasies. How would you pay for diapers, food, day care services, etc? How would people react--will they label you as a slut? Will they harass you? What if your boyfriend suddenly decides that he doesn't love you THAT much, and no longer wants anything to do with you? It's too much for you to get into right now. It's great to think about it, though, because you'll be better prepared for when you do become a mother. You should read books, and magazines about parenting. If you want responsibility, get a job as a babysitter. It will give you practice, it's kinda fun, and you may realize that you don't want to be a parent anytime soon. Or you might realize the exact opposite, and decide that now is the perfect time. It's your choice, just know what you're getting into!
