I want a baby but I'm only 13 years old and I just turned 13. I would get pregnant but I'm still a virgin and I think it will hurt to loose it but also I know my mother and father will be so disappointed in me if I get pregnant and be a teen mom. But I don't care. Maybe some of you guys could change my mind about that. Tell me what you think I should do.

I think you should wait until you finish school and can afford a baby.

Also, you are too young. I deliver babies. I've delivered a baby to a 13 year old mom. You know what happened to her after she delivered her baby? She had a seizure and went blind. True story. Why did that happen? Because her body wasn't done growing yet, but it had to grow a baby too. Her body couldn't handle growing AND being pregnant.

You feel this way because your hormones are churning around all over the place inside you. My mom had a baby when I was about your age, and that cured me big time! I was the oldest kid and had to help out with the baby a lot. It made me appreciate school and chilling out with my friends and slumber parties and after-school activities that I couldn't have enjoyed if I had been the one to have the baby. I would have had to quit school and been stuck in the house 24/7 with a screaming kid who only pooped and drank his bottle and pooped some more. Yuck.

Go to an animal shelter and get a dog or cat to care for. Of course, you have to be responsible to do that. It's good training to be a mom someday.

You are too young to have sex or a baby. Babies are a lot of work and responsibility and you are little more than a baby yourself and your parents responsibility. This is a time in your life for fun and parties and friends. All of that will be gone because you will be taking care of a baby. Not to mention your future, or the future of the young man who will father this child. Having a baby is not just about you. It affects many lives.
Ask your parents about going to the shelter and adopting a kitten or a dog. They are loving and is your first step in dealing with the responsibility of caring for a living thing.
Think of all the things you like to do. If you have a baby at this time in your life, those things will be gone.

I'm not going to be nice. Do you have ANY clue what having a child at 13 means? First, there is the damage to your reputation, most of your friends will abandon you. Right away. The rest will when you won't be able to hang out with them anymore because you have to spend almost all your time caring for this child.

Do you have any clue what raising a child costs? Studies have shown ti costs between $10,000 and $15,000 each year. And that's not including the medical costs for the birth. Where are you going to come up with that money?

Why would you want to bring a child into the world under those circumstances? So you want a baby, what a selfish, harebrained thing to think of!
