natalie04 answered Saturday October 23 2004, 6:32 pm: hey! don't have a kid. i went through a stage like that when i was 12 cuz my cuz had a cute baby. i would baby sit and quickly found out BABYS ARE HARD WORK!!!!!!!! don't ruin your life. if he won't ever break up with you as you stated have kids later after your married or at least older. your only 15, wait a few years! you'll thank yourself if you wait!
xostripped answered Friday October 22 2004, 9:05 pm: You are nuts. Have you even been around kids at all? I have two nieces that are under five that I have taken care of since they were born. Taking care of kids isn't an easy thing. How in the hell are you going to provide for this child? You needs thousands of dollars just to DELIVER a baby. Think about how much it's going to cost for all the pre-natal and neo-natal care, not to mention providing for this child for the rest of its life! And, kids aren't all fun and games. You have dirty diapers and being up all night with them and not having any freedom. You need a serious reality check. Oh yeah...GUYS LIE. [ xostripped's advice column | Ask xostripped A Question ]
xxAdviceGirlxx answered Friday October 22 2004, 7:13 pm: ummmm hellllllo? anything worthwhile in your head?! you're 15. you're still in hs. how would u go 2 hs with a kid? you wouldnt b able to leave it by itself for about 7 hours. and bfs usually say that they wouldnt leave you but look in magazines how bfs leave their gfs b/c they dont want commitment to a child of their own.. im just saying think about it. i think ur 2 young for a kid and i still think ur 2 young for SEX period. but it's your life, im not the one whos going 2 b a slut later on in life.

Babyzee answered Friday October 22 2004, 5:49 pm: IMPORTANT,YOU MUST READ :
U might feel that u r ready to have a baby wit ur bf but it really isn't a good idea. i highly advice u 2 take my opinion bcuz u don't u have the education level nor the physical ablity 2 bare a child witout complications. And i know u and ur bf really believe that but no one at that age can really take care of a child wit all the difficulties that come along wit it. have u thought of all the consequences wit havin a baby and takin care and raisin a child? And if ur bf really loves u he and u will wait 2 have a baby when u r out of college and old enough and u can get birth control bcuz u mom should let u cuz if u were gona have a baby neways that y would she might u gettin birth control cuz she would obviously she would know that u r havin sex. * hope i helped, rate me* *STEPHANIE* [ Babyzee's advice column | Ask Babyzee A Question ]

TommiBrowne answered Thursday October 21 2004, 8:00 pm: Well, my mom recently had a baby. My baby brother is now 3 months. Anyway, he's not my child but he consumes a lot of my time also that I need for me when I get home from school. Basically, have the baby.....when you're not one anymore. Now, I'm not calling you immature, naive, or anything. You are a teen just like me and i'm not trying to sound like anyone's mother, okay? You and your boyfriend seem to have a grounded foundation, don't ruin it. A baby will take all your time, love and most importantly, your childhood. I bet high school is enough so having a baby will just add more stress. Stay with your boyfriend (if it works out) and see in the future (like when you're 25-30-ish) if you two are ready for a baby... hope i helped..

Ask_Anything answered Thursday October 21 2004, 7:55 pm: i think you should finish up high school first and by the time you get to collage, if you two still feel the same- talk it over with your parents because you don't want the baby to be a bad surprise to them. id recommend getting all your education done first though (high school, collage) and marriage even before the baby. but that's just me- you're decision is your own! =] -ask_anything [ Ask_Anything's advice column | Ask Ask_Anything A Question ]

Jenni answered Thursday October 21 2004, 3:50 pm: You don't want a baby at 15! You aren't responsible enough if you use chatspeak, TRUST ME. The kid will be born out of wedlock and it's just too early. WAIT! ~*Jenni*~ [ Jenni's advice column | Ask Jenni A Question ]
RedNeckShOrTy answered Thursday October 21 2004, 12:11 pm: I think you should wait until your older and you know that you stil REALLY want a baby with him. You're only 15. This guy might not be the one your are going to spend the rest of your life with (even tho u think so now). And if you have a baby then you will be tied together for the rest of your life. All i am saying is wait until your 100% sure that this is what you really want to do and you have no doubts about it. Then you will know you did the right thing and then you shouldn't care about what people say then. Think about. It might take a while to come to a clear decison but it will be worth it. I hope I helped!

ICE11BLUE answered Thursday October 21 2004, 11:15 am: These are wonderful feelings to feel, and you are probably ready emotionally to take this on. But if things are going so well, things are going to get better. If you two love each other so much and are ready to take on life together then GO AHEAD...finish school, have fun with friends, enjoy your freedom AND THEN have a child together. A child is such a blessing to have, but are SO MUCH work and it would work best if you waited at least until you were 18. If you still feel this way at 18 when you're done school, then all systems go! But 15 IS a bit young you still have so much life to live. I would have hated this answere when I wanted a baby when I was a teenager. Now I am a 23 year old mom of a 10 mo. old baby, and well, sometimes I miss the freedom of being a teenager. Either way you're going to want something different. One day you will make a wonderful mother with that kind of love you hold in your heart, and believe me when I say it all happens so fast, please enjoy the moment you're living in for now. It is what I would tell myself if I could talk to that 15 year old girl from 1995/1996. Also, I don't know your life situation and your heart will tell you what's right, and things will happen as they are meant to be. [ ICE11BLUE's advice column | Ask ICE11BLUE A Question ]

xxHolly007xx answered Thursday October 21 2004, 7:42 am: im nearly 5 years older than you and i would love to have a baby but i know that now at my age its just not possible, if you were to have a baby now you would have to leave school therefore you wouldnt have any qualifications - therefore you couldnt help your child with homework, you wouldnt be able to get a job for at least 3 years or so...therefore there would only be your boyfriends income which at 15 or 16 wont be much. you need to seriously think this over dont just think of a cute little baby think of all the time, effort and cost. if you have a kid now thats your life on hold for the next 18 years at least. think of christmas, how are you gonna afford it? what would your parents think? Go and travel the world, have fun, your too young to be tied down and as for your boyfriend promising he will never leave you, my advice dont trust anyone if your gonna believe all you hear you might as well go eat the grass out side catch my drift? hope i helped :) [ xxHolly007xx's advice column | Ask xxHolly007xx A Question ]
XsUpErGeRLx answered Thursday October 21 2004, 12:26 am: Its great and all that yew love your boyfriend with all your heart! But are yew really sure that your ready for a baby? I mean yeah I know that yew said he "promises that he will never leave yew" but have yew seen the Maury show??? How many girls are having to go through all that stuff with raising a baby on their own because their boyfriends said that they would never leave them but did anyways and most of them even said the baby wasnt theirs! I'm not saying that will happen to yew though but there is always that chance since yew are soo young! And plus yeah yew might have money but are yew willing to stay up all night with the baby and change diapers and have to pay the medical bills if it gets sick? And also since your 15 what do yew think your parents would say? Well I hope yew make the right choice! I hope I could help yew!

GroverTheStoNer answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 10:46 pm: YOU ARE 15! You cannot handle school and a baby. I know it may seem like you really want one, but you should wait until you graduate. You really need to wait. Its hard to juggle a child, keeping enough money for the child, and school. It'd be best to wait, so i wouldn't have one.

Laura answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 9:43 pm: First, 15, you're not even an ADULT yet. You're not even fully grown! You're totally not ready to have a baby. Second, you have money. Now. What's going to happen if the baby gets sick and you have to pay medical bills? And this little thing called food...you need it. EVERY WEEK. Unless you have money saved...then...thirt, just because he promises doesn't mean he won't do it. Seriously...don't.

advice_now_2334 answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 9:13 pm: just because u and ur boyfiernd are madly in lve with eachother, there a chance that yall wont be together forever. i had a friend who had a baby exactly on her 16th b-day and the baby had complications bcause she was young the doctor said that 40% teens under the age of 18 who have kids, are more likely to have birth failures and probelms with the baby.. the doctor said that since ur only 15 (she was at the time) that her body wasnt fully developed yet so there was no way that the baby could be healthy.. but the baby was born and it only had a few defects but now its almost a year old and its really healthy but she could have lost her child. but to get back to the situation, you and ur boyfreidn really arent ready to have a children even tho both of you think u are. imagine the responsiblity of having one and going to school and gettin a job to support it. you cant turn to ur parents for everything ur gunna have to do things on ur own. i think u should take the circumstances into consideration and think about it really hard and u and ur boyufriendn really need to think of the consequences of being 15 with a kid u should at least wait a few years when u are settled down and are stable.

xXxpinky615xXx answered Wednesday October 20 2004, 8:59 pm: Okay, really think it through. You are 15 years old with your entire life ahead of you. You have to go to college. How are you going to support this kid? You're pay checks and his can't help. You need a REAL job where you're making good money. A baby is a big responsibility, there's diapers, food, clothes all of that stuff. You're still young yourself and you really need to go to college first. My cousin had a baby when she was 18 and totaly regreted it. As soon as her boyfriend of 3 years found out she was pregnant he started denying it was his kid even though he said he'd be there through everything with her. You don't want a baby now. You have to think about yourself first before you can start taking care of someone else. Please, do not have a kid this young. You WILL regret it. I know girls that are 13 years old and have kids. Their mothers wouldn't let them put the kid up for adoption and they are failing out of school, they are broke and the baby's father doesn't want to have anything to do with them. They did it all because they loved eachother and said they'd be there for eachother forever. That's not reality. Wait until your married to have kids. I don't care if you have sex at your age but wait until you're married to have kids. You will COMPLETELY regret it. My ex boyfriend pretty much tried to force me into having sex with him unprotected because he said he'd love me forever and never leave me. A week after I said no to even having sex with him he broke up with me because he was fooling around with a 17 year old slut and got her pregnant. Oh and guess what?? Now he denys he's the father of her kid! Go figure. Really think about what you're getting yourself into. You WILL regret it, I said it a couple times but I mean it, you will. At our age, we wouldn't know what we are getting ourselves into. Even if you say you have money, it's not going to be enough. Who's gonna watch your kid when you're at work? You have to watch your kid. How can you support your kid if your not working and you only have one persons pay check to support you? You can't. PLEASE, really really think about it.Hope this helped.
