Dear HisLadyLove,

You're only 13-15: you have your whole life ahead of you! Why give it up now?

Trust me, babies may seem like adorable little bundles of joy to you at the moment (and don't get me wrong - they are very cute a lot of the time) but I don't think you realise how much work it is to have a baby of your own! Imagine being woken up by the anguished screams of your chils, several times every night, for at least a year. No time for sleep, no time for parties, no time for anything. Utter exhaustion takes over, turning you into a ghost of your former self. It's not for the faint-hearted, believe you me. Grown-up women find it challenging enough; a girl of your age would find it near impossible, and possibly psychologically damaging.

Furthermore, it's extremely fair on the child: children are very impressionable creatures, and need strong guardians to bring them up. I'm not saying that you aren't a strong person - you probably are - but you're only a teenager, and a young teen at that! You are too inexperienced, and impressionable yourself to take up the role of mother.

Moreover, what about your education? What about your hopes, dreams and aspirations? Once you have a baby, you will have no time to do things for yourself, such as continuing with your education, in order to get a good job. And if you can't get a job, then you can't provide for your baby. Would you really want to bring up your child in such a way: lacking the funds to feed it, to buy it clothes and toys? I know I wouldn't. It would be an extremely inhumane thing to do.

Finally, imagine how your family would feel, and react, if you were to have a child at such an early age. They would probably continue to support you but even so, they would feel disappointed in you, and perhaps even a little ashamed. I'm sure that you wouldn't want to degrade their opinion of you.

I think you really need to think things through again. Your boyfriend is absolutely right in making you wait - you are much to young to be thinking about having a baby.

Make the most of your carefree life now: there's plenty of time later to have children. Please don't rush into a decision that you will regret in years to come.

Good luck. God bless.

for god sake how can you look after a child when you are still a child!

you can't finacially support the baby, you can't go to school and have a baby at the same time. you can't go out with your friends and do normal teenage things with a baby. your life would change and be a very lonely one. trust me, my friend had a baby young and she regrets not being able to go to college,parties and usual teen things. what is the rush! slow down, be a kid and leave it untill you are a responsible adult.

you shouldn't talk him into having a baby. If you want a happy family then give him time. Rushing him will just cause him to become stressed and it won't be as happy as you may think.
