Is 17 too young to get pregnant?

Question

Answer

Im 32 now and I don't know a single person who got through their twenties without changing in some way.  And before you bring a child into this world, you should at least be financially independent and more importantly know who you are and where you want to end up. 17 year olds don't have a fucking clue what life is about. I don't care how "independent and responsible" they are. What's wrong with enjoying your teens and twenties and finding yourself before you bring another human being into this world?

Answer

At 17, you think you know everything...
But the reality is, you know nothing.
Get a puppy.

Answer

Meant to vote yes. I'm 17 and am mature enough to realise that I am not ready at all. I would never purposely plan to get pregnant at this age no matter the circumstance. There is so many years of living still to be done before I could ever make such a big commitment of having a child.

Answer

Don't see why anyone would want a child while they're still in school 😒

Answer

I don't care what the circumstances are no one should TRY to get pregnant at 17. Having an accident and then stepping up is a whole different topic tho

Answer

I'm gonna say yes, 17 is literally still a kid, at 17 you're still growing, at 17 whether they have a steady job, house or marrage, a 17 year old kid has nothing to offer a baby, and zero wisdom

Answer

I was 20 when I had my first. I had a fantastic job, relationship, home. I am now nearly 26 and due my 3rd child. No longer have my fantastic job, still in a great relationship and have a stable life and family. I wouldn't wish my children away I love them more than anything they have brought me joy/ happiness but I have missed out on life and experiences. Don't wish your life away go and travel, have fun, go out have adventures. And wait to have children..  That would be my advice :-)

Answer

Just don't try to drop your kids off with their grandparents when you wanna go out and live life and feel like a teenager again. Having a child at a young age changes everything (I haven't had one but i seen it) I'm 19 and couldn't imagine having a little me. Thats like babysiting for 18 years 😄 I'll pass until I'm ready (in my 50s) i want to graduate, buy a house, and travel first. Have a strong foundation to build my family off of.

Answer

Depends. Do you have a stable job, stable relationship, and enough money to support a family?

Answer

I was too young to get pregnant at 19, even though I was married. I was well ahead of my peers, I had graduated at 14 and started  college at 17, I'd had a job from the time I was 16. I got married at 19 which was a horrible choice. I don't for one second regret my little man but I had already shouldered a lot of responsibility, I never had much of a teenage phase, let alone the chance to be a young adult and build a solid foundation, mentally, financially, or as an adult. It's a struggle and I'm a single mom now. I wish I could give my son every opportunity, and I'm going to try my hardest but it would have been better of I had a solid foundation in place first.
