Hey there. listen a lot of young girls think they want a baby but they really don't because they don't even know what the consequences are . can you pay for it ? no . your parents will. so wait till your older

It's natural for young girls to want to have a baby - it's your maternal instinct kicking in, however having a baby when you are still very young is not the smartest idea. Like everyone else has mentioned you have to think about supporting the baby and that costs money so you will need to have a job. The baby will be your number one priority and you won't have any time to be with friends. Then there is the issue of juggling school with a job and a baby. The baby is going to be dependent on you and things might not go the way you want it to go. I'm not a parent but I know several teen mums and they have said that it's not easy being a teen mum and it's harder than you think.
My advice - wait until you are older. Right now you should enjoy being teenager and concentrate on finishing school. I would also suggest on doing some babysitting or volunteer in a day-care centre.

Are you crazy? 13 years old is too young!
A lot of young girls want children, but you can't have them. Who will raise it? Who will feed it? Who will take care of it? Not you. You have school. I'm pretty sure your parents won't, either.
You're too young. Wait until you're 20, at least.

A lot of young girls want to have a child but are smart enough to wait because they still want to have a future.
Babies are really expensive. Not only that, but once you have one, it's not all about you anymore, it's about your kid and your life will revolve around that child.
You're going to have to buy formula, clothes, have medical care, and diapers. You know like 500 diapers will run out in a month.
Babies cry at night, sometimes there could be something wrong with the child and you'll have to take them to the hospital. And it's crazy expensive.
Do you have a job? Also, what will you do once the baby comes? Quit your job for the child or have someone else raise your kid?
You're also still in school.
I'm not saying that it would be impossible to have a child. Lots of young girls accidentally get pregnant and they can do it but it's ten times harder and it's really not giving the child what it deserves. The baby deserves loving parents who can take care of it and buy it everything it needs but since you're still young and still going through school and finding your way in your life, it wouldn't be fair to the kid.
Anyways, focus on your life right now and enjoy it.

Have you lost your mind?
Listen, If you do live on your own, pay your own bills, work a full time job then you are nowhere even ready to raise a child.
Do you buy your own clothes? Do you still live at home with Mom and Dad? Do you go to school? No, again you are not ready.
Your only 13, You are still legally a child.
I am 27 and I have a son, You think it's easy? No. It's a full time job and a very expensive one.
Diapers, formula, clothes and even medical care alone is expensive!
Now let me ask you, Who is going to raise it? It won't be you dear, You are still a child.
Be realistic, Wait until you are at least out of high school. That would ve a SMART thing to do!

The first thing is to plan. You want to make sure you have a stable job and a person who can watch the baby while you are at school. You want to make sure that the baby is taken care all the time. Having a baby can be expensive even if you slowly get things the further you get along. The next thing is to prepare yourself for the rough road. The first couple of months they get their nights and days mixed so you will be up all night. They usually wake up every hour to two hours. When you feel ready to take on this ambitious task, you find a guy and make a baby.
