Dont let anyone discourage you becomming a mommie.They didnt know anymore then you did when they because a mom.And age does not make you a good or bad mom

dont get pregnant!!

First of all, you need to protect yourself from getting pregnant along with STD's. The best thing to do if you are or planning on becoming sexually active is to get on some type of birth control, and when you do have sex, make sure that whomever you are with uses a condom due to the threat of STD's. Age does matter when you are becoming a parent. Being a parent is not about being pregnant and having a cute little baby/toddler. It is about another human life that you are responsible for. Being a parent is not something to take lightly and it is not cool to be a teenage mom. What is cool being a teenager, is going to parties and dances and hanging out with your friends. Being a teenager is about graduating high school deciding what college you want to go away to and living in the dorms and being a young adult. You don't want to be the teen is high school who has to drop out or go to an alternative school because you are pregnant. You want to get pregnant when you are married and financially stable, as well as mentally stable. You need to make sure you have a car, and insurance, and a job to take care of a child. You don't want to depend on welfare to support your child because you can't do it yourself. Being a parent is 18+years of your life having another person depend on you emotionally and financially. For instance, when my daughter turned 2, my husband and I started saving for her college education. It may sound stupid, but we put $1,000 away per year for her so she will have some financial assistance when she attends college. You have to think of things like this when you are a parent. It is day to day living and taking care of your child, but a good parent is always thinking of their future and making sure that the best choices at that moment are made. Good luck to you in your decision making.
