Having kids at a teenage stage 16?

Question

what are the - and the + ???

Answer 1

I also had my first child at 16, unplanned and now at 19 im settled down and expecting my second (planned). With me and school it was the opposite when i learned i was expecting it kicked me into gear and made me realise i needed to do well in my exams i went from being a flunk to a swot instantly. Course there are negatives to having a baby young and im not encouraging it because it is hard work but u learn to adapt quickly and young parents can be brilliant ones age doesnt matter and having my first young is what moulded me into being a responsible person.I wouldnt swap my son for the world and even if i could go back and change the past i wouldnt.

Answer 2

i myself had my first child at the age of 16 so i know first hand what the -'s and +'s are. there are many of both but they are all well worth the child you raise in the end.  but lets start with the -'s i missed a lot of school while being pregnant cuz i went to school at a 2 story school and it was very over populated so i was afraid of falling down the stairs but missing so much school made me fail 10th grade, then the following year i went to a different school, but then again, missed a lot of school cuz of my daughter. so again, i failed 10th grade. i went back to school though determined to finish, but finally gave up. so i dropped out. i  missed out on my prom, homecoming, and all that senior year stuff, thats the only thing i wish i didnt miss out on.  but, i did get my GED. and i did start college. so theres always a way to make it better. but the positive stuff is that you know that no matter what, you will have that one child that will always love you, and you will be able to look at him/her and say "wow, i raised this child into what he/she is today" and its the best feeling in the world. theres a lot of things you have to look at. and its not an easy task. but now, im 20, and ive got a 4 year old and a 2 year old. and i wouldnt trade either of them for the world. but dont let anyone make a decision as hard as this but yourself.

Answer 3

I can't really think of any pluses having a baby so young. The huge negatives of course if YOUR TO YOUNG. Your taking your life away, you shouldn't be having s*x at such a young age to begin with. Children are a huge step in life, they are expensive, and it's something that you can't just jump into head first. They have medical bills, plus the cost to dress them, feed them.

But I also do not believe in abortion. Have you honestly thought this through? Are you pregnant now? If so I would look into adoption, there are people out there desperately wanting a child and can't have it.

Answer 4

I I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long as you still push yourself to accomplish things in your life. the thing that doesn't suck is that you have alot of energy still at 16 and that is good to have with a new baby. Except you have to put your own life on hold untill your 30 or so and that sucks. my 21st is coming up and i have to have a babysitter and still go home to my kids so i can't be too crazy or have a party or anything.

good luck if you do decide to have a baby!
