Older teen

Hey so I see a lot of young kids think they can handle a kid and while other posts have been made, I have to say that these young girls think they know a lot, and I'm sure they do and know a lot about children. But parenting requires knowledge of much more than kids. Educate yourself on world issues and 'big picture' topics. It's not just about "I want a baby". Learn more than you learn in high school so you can be a great mom for your kids.

When I was 14-15 I also wanted a baby. I just loved babies and little kids, still do. But I recognized that it's not the time to have a child. I thought I knew so much back then, and just a mere two years later I have matured so much and gained valuable experiences and wisdom. And I have much to learn. There's a reason teenage girls babysit, it lets you enjoy kids without the responsibility.

Don't rush to grow up.

And I'm not judging just saying that you learn more than you think in the next few years, and maybe wait until you're 18 or 19.
