What are your thoughts on wanting a child as a young teen and physiological problems is their truly a correlation?

Question

Thoughts?

Answer

Kids shouldn't be having kids. They seem cute and cuddly and smiley and all but they are hard work. Teens are not fully mentally developed yet. They may think they are ready to take on such huge responsibility as caring for a helpless human but they don't. In the end it's just going to cause them more problems. A baby isn't the solution for a sad lonely teen or a teen who's having issues at home and feeling misunderstood.

Answer

I wanted one when I was an older teen. Mostly because I was depressed in a crappy home and I knew if I had a baby, it would truly love me and that what I wanted, somebody to love me. I see now that it was immature and I wasn't in the right mental state. But also, I thought it would be kind of easy. (boy was I wrong) teens just don't quite understand how tough mentally and physically having a kid can be. They might hear how tough it is, but it's truly another story to actually have to do it yourself. They're just not ready in my mind.

Answer

One of my childhood friends got pregnant at 14. She's 17 and just gave birth to her second child. She puts anything on everything on Facebook and boy, has she had it rough. As much as she loves her sons, and loves being a mother, she wouldn't wish having kids so young on anyone. She can't be a teen like the rest of her peers can.

Answer

Personally I think it's okay to kind of want to have a child BUT you have to realize that you are not mentally or financially ready for one. I went through a stage where anytime I saw a baby or one of my friends had one I would sob for several minutes because I wanted one so bad. But I knew that it was only because I was seeing the cute part, not the late nights, screaming, messy diapers, etc. 
I was really hormonal during that time bc I was on a bc patch, and I stopped wanting a baby when I watched numerous vaginal births and c sections 😂 
I've got a lot of stuff I want to do before I have kids, and I think it's important for teens to realize that

Answer

When I hear a teen say they want a baby because they want someone to love them I think there is something wrong. What is going on in your life where you think the only way you can feel loved is to have a child? I do feel like there could be some psychological issues going on there maybe even abuse. But when I hear a teen say they want a baby because babies are so cute and sweet with big chunky thighs I think that's a normal feeling that will usually pass.

Answer

Ate you talking about yourself personally or in general?

Answer

No, I really don't think there's a correlation between the instinctive desire to reproduce and psychological issues...
