You are WAY too young. Sometimes even 25 years old is too young for a baby!! If you are in school, you're too young. If you don't own and/or rent a home you are too young. If you don't have a job that pays more than 10 bucks an hour you are too young. If you aren't married and/or in a stable relationship lasting AT LEAST 5ish years you are too young. If you need ANY financial support from ANYONE to support your baby you are too young. Even straight out of high school is way too young. You'd go to college if you cared about your would-be child so you could have a career that pays well enough to support him or her. No body wants a mom or dad that's 40 something and works at McDonalds.
Look, it's normal to want a baby. That's nature's way of helping the population grow. It isn't you that wants a baby, it's your hormones. Don't let them get the best of you. If we all listened to our hormones all the time you would not be able to separate man from beast. Think of your future child... How would you feel if your parents hadn't of waited. Picture this. Your mom had you at 16 years old. Your dad isn't around because as much as your parents THOUGHT they were in love, as much as they THOUGHT they could handle a child... He couldn't, packed his bags and left. Your mom never graduated high school or college because she was so busy with you. She works 2-3 jobs just to feed you. You never see her because of it. You stay mostly with your grandparents but you wish you had more time with your mom, you wish she could afford to put you in school, give you clothes on your back, but she can't. Your grandparents do what they can for you but it's not the same, they aren't your parents. You feel abandoned from lack of contact with your mom, so you seek attention elsewhere. The bright, happy kids that you would play with if your mom was like their parents just make you sad to be around. You have nothing in common with them... You can't feel the happiness they feel. You start to feel more and more alone when a couple of drug dealers approach you, they say they have something that'll make you feel better about yourself. So you start to do one drug after the other, doing obscene things to get them... Since the age of 13 you've never been out of jail more than 6 months.
Don't think I just made that story up... that's a true story. My brother is 24 years old, and that's his life. His parents weren't ready but they went ahead anyways.
