IN OUR DAYS TODAY MANY KIDS OUR HAVING KIDS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ONE. I THINK ANY AGE UNDER 18 IS TOO YOUNG TO BE HAVING CHILDREN BECAUSE YOU'RE STILL A CHILD YOURSELF.HAVING KIDS AT A YOUNG AGE HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH NOT HAVING PARENTAL CONTROL.MOST CHILDREN NOT BEING ABLE TO TALK TO THEIR PARENTS ALSO PLAYS A BIG PART IN TEEN PREGNANCY.

Young girls are having babies more and more now days. It's crazy. I ask the same question, "How can they take care of a baby, when they can't even take care of themselves?" It makes no sense, it's like they just don't care anymore. I know i do, though. I want to be married and have my money right before I try and take care of another life. Maybe more people should think like that before they do off and do things without thinking. Someone I know just had her baby and she's a senior in high school, but she got pregnant in the 10th grade. I love her baby to death but she never has time to do anything. While she's at school one the the grandmoms watch her baby. The girl never gets to go anywhere except her boyfriends house because he has to see his baby too. I wouldn't want to be stuck taking care of someone else when I was so young.

a 14 or 15 year old girl having a child is not good because they are just coming into their own and figuring theirselves out. It can totally ruin a persons life and they haven't even lived it yet. my parents always told me if you hae a kid plan on not living here because we are not taking care of it and thats what always made me be careful

I believe that the person should wait until they are up and going to have a child. If you are not ready to have a kid then by all means don't. Your parents are still trying to raise you, they dont need to raise YOUR kid at the same time.

I think kids should be talked to by there parents at a yung age cause it is not right for a baby to have a baby. and its like as time goes on it gets worse because they dont understand the risk of loseing the child and all the extreme responsabilities that come with having a child.

I think that having kids so young is a terrible idea. Don't get me wrong I to was a teenage mom and didn't know how to take care of a baby at all, it was totally different from what I thought it would be. They don't really take care of the baby the parent's or shall I say grandparents do because the child hasn't finished school and probably don't have a job 90% of the time.

yes kids are having kids to early thats usually thats because there is no guidance at home and no discipline at home parents are to scared that their kids will hate them so they let them do what ever they want to.

having a child before 18 is a bad idea for anyone. this is a bad idea for anyone, its a huge problem in society today. teenagers are being taught about the dangers they just dont listen and they dont think itll happen to them unfortunetly right now we are at a time where even good parenting cant provent teenage pregnancies.

SHIT HAPPENS.(but I don't think its ok jus shit happens lol)

When you think about a girl 14 or 15 having a baby,the first thing comes to my mind is that they haven't matured enough mentally to even grasp the reality of becoming a mother.Yeah, they may be physically mature but not mentally.Usually it robs her of her own childhood and that's what's so sad about it.We have to spend more time with our children, more bonding time.

In this generation today there is no real age to having babies. Girls sometimes just get pregnant without peparations and order. There parents at this age might not think it is the time to discuss sex and or protection. Me personally i had a baby 15 and still made it through the hard times and the good. I had lots of help but mostly took care of it on my own. I wouldnt say that it was easy but not too hard. So depending on some situations some more than others should not have a baby at such young age but for others like me there is no age its mainly the knowledge.

I think 14 and 15 is to young to have a babby.The grandparents are the ones who end up taking care of them.It is very hard for parents to prevent this.At 14 and 15 they can leave home and do pretty much what they want to.Thats why it is very important to have a good and trustworthy relationship with your children.The best place for children to learn is in the home.
