To those wanting to conceive in high school or college..
It may sound easy but college without a baby is hard enough. 10-20 page papers, classes, exams, PLUS living on your own, paying for your food, etc., you won't want to be working 40 hours a week when you're taking classes, or when you have a baby at home. So I'm not quite sure what it means if you say you're financially stable.
Can you pay for rent, baby clothes, diapers, food, bills, insurance, textbooks, toys, taxes, everything else? WHILE going to school, WHILE raising a child? The first year alone will probably cost you near $10,000 and that's just for baby, not counting everything you need yourself or the cost of school.
You won't have time to study or work if you're taking care of a baby, and you can't count on other people to always watch it for you all the time, then you're not even parenting. And you can't not have a job or go to class either if you're wanting to provide for the child and finish your degree.
Your parents will not raise your baby for you. You don't want to be living with them when you start a family, you don't want to rely on anyone. But I guarantee you will have to.
College is a time to be selfish, to struggle, to educate yourself, to travel and to get a degree so that you can one day have a stable career so you can provide for yourself and a baby without any handouts from anyone. I think most of these girls just want to be pregnant but don't have any idea how much it will cost them to raise a baby and pay for themselves too. Either that, or their parents pay for everything and watch the baby all the time.
