Ok. So I'm 13 years old. I have a boyfriend who I love very much and he feels the same about me. We are always planning our future and what we're going to do together and things like that. One of the things we talk about is the children we are going to have and they're names etc. Anyhow, since we started talking about it I've got more and more into the idea of having a baby and I keep wishing I could have one. I even had a dream that I had a baby by my boyfriend. What should I do?

Maybe give some free advice about: Parenting?
Trust me, if you were to become pregnant, that whole love and fantasy will collapse around you in a mangled heap. You are 13. You should not even consider having a child for at least another 10 years. Not only that, but what is to guarantee that you will still be with this guy years down the road? So you may think you have the perfect relationship. I thought I did too; now we are no longer together. We always talked about what we would do if we were married; and our relationship only lasted for the better part of a year.
You cannot support a baby. You do not WANT a baby. At your age, you should LOATHE babies.
At any rate, look at the big picture: Years down the road, there is a pretty good chance you will not be with the same guy. What if you did have a child and he decided he did not want it, and left you? What kind of situation would you be in? And do not say "He would never do that, he loves me!" You never know what someone will do or when they will show their true colors, until the situation arises. He can SAY whatever he wants, what he would actually DO is a completely different story.
