Hi, I am your hypothetical child,

I would like to be born to a mom and dad that can afford to have me both emotionally and financially. I would also like to be born to a couple that can afford to give me a home, diapers, food and many of the other necessities that I will require.

I guarantee that if you and my Dad aren't getting along right now then I will definitely tear you apart. I will suck away every penny that you make and I still won't be happy. I will cry allot, sometimes for days on end. I will make a mess in my diaper so often that you will think that's all I do. I do not like going out to hang with your friends; I need peace and quite, even though I won't give you any. I am one of the most selfish creatures on the face of this earth; if I weren’t then I'd die. I need to scream and complain in order to communicate with you, this will drive you crazy.

If you don't want to have me when you're still young, if you can't give me everything that I need then please use birth control, use two, or better yet, don't have sex until you're ready to have me. All it takes is one mistake and I'll be coming to see you in 9 months. Is this sinking in, or are you still in denial?

Sincerely,

Your potential child

you are so closed minded and i pray that God can forgive you and show you that you are not the maker you are a person you need to focus on your children not other people

Lilmama19, this is brilliant. This is an out-cry for teens to wake up, and stop putting so much emphasis on their sexual urges. This is a statement that is not closed minded; rather, "solved minded".

lilmama- I am the mother of two wonderful children, I was 28 years old when I had my first, married, financially ready and able to care for a child and emotionally ready to raise a child. I did not need any help from my parents or welfare etc. to give my children everything that they need in life.

I come to this site to try and make a difference in peoples lives, some people deserve my sympathy and some don't. I do sympathy with your babies situation, even with you to some degree, I don't know how hard it is to have a baby inside me that might be taken away or that I might have to give up, but, then again, I never would have gotten myself into this position in the first place, with all the birth control available there is absolutely no reason to have a child until you are ready, and "I want one" isn't being ready, it's being selfish and the only person who ends up suffering is the child.

This post was not meant to make you feel bad, besides, you're already pregnant so it's a bit late for this message, I was just hoping to show things from a babies point of view and maybe make a few people wake up and smell the coffee. You have a right to your opinion and I do wish you and your unborn child luck in the future. Take care.

I agree I am only 17 haha I don't have a job etc its funny as 3 people i know already have kids and I just wonder how they can look after the kid... hell I am not looking after myself at all yet.... live off my parents..

Yeah I am a virgin but I have been giving oral sex from people I know well and have got emotionally attached with... never gonna give until I find the right person haha don't wanna catch anything I am up for alot but yeah sex with protection but only if I got to know you real well and I haven't got that far with any girlfriend yet however some girls are more willing than others I have been offered it a few times but declined the opportunity which I sometimes regret looking back at it!

also I feel I would have to know someone well before I got into their pants I aint the kinda guy to have a one night stand but thats just me tons of guys are the complete opposite

Virtually all STDs that you can get from penile-vaginal intercourse you can also catch with oral sex.

So, you are still not protected. You can still get chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, etc via oral sex.

Huh????? I haven't a clue what you are talking about or what your possible problem could be with Altenweg wrote.

Terell- It is so nice to hear from someone your age that is willing to wait until they find the right person. The thing is, I'm not necessarily saying that you have to wait until marriage, I didn't, I'm just saying that when the time comes be smart about it, there is an abundance of birth control products out there, there is no reason to become a parent until you are ready. Just so you know, I've never met a teen that is ready to be a parent.

You teens have your whole lives ahead of you and only one shot to get it right, don't mess it up over passion and stupidity, once you go down that path you're just waiting to get hit by on coming traffic.

Thanks for responding to my post, maybe there's hope yet.
