IN REPLY TO: 17 AND WANT A BABY
AUTHOR: jessikaluvsmike
You're life is just beginning, don't you want to enjoy it before you make this lifetime committment? Have you ever lived on your own or been independent? How will you support this baby? Think about what you want to accomplish in your life for yourself and find your own identity before you bring another life into the world. Honestly, at 17 you might think you know who you are but you will change,I guarantee it. Your 20's are the time to explore life and figure out who you are and what you want and who you want to become. You'll regret it if you don't. At 17, having a baby seems so wonderful because they are so cute. It's not all cuteness and you will sacrifice much of your life for this child. What about your boyfriend? What is his committment to you? He already has another child with some other women and he's not with her. What is the role in his first child's life? Past behavior is a huge indicator of how he will behave in the future. Don't feel pressured by anyone to do this, because your life is the only one that will be impacted forever because it is your responsibility alone.
