What is with all these 16 TTC girls I keep seeing?! I usually keep to myself about these things but huns! Enjoy being 16…

Preach. Lol

I've never came across anyone that young on here trying, it's kinda sad. like don't get me wrong I've always wanted a baby, a lot of girls I went to school with got pregnant on purpose at 16 ish and I just can't understand why. Can you really give a baby everything it needs and more at 16? juggling a job, school, and a baby would be pretty hard for a 16 year old. I hate how so many young girls think it's okay because their parents will help, yeah it's cool you have help but I would feel like a useless mom not being able to provide and only living off of people, idk just my opinion though

@kaylaweilert, yeah no, I completely agree with you. I'm having a hard enough time between me and my husband! 😆

I'm having a hard time being back at our parents, like I feel like I have to be out before I have this baby, it's not right, they didn't ask us to come stay to help with the baby, I just wasn't going to stay in my house anymore I didn't feel safe anymore, so it was definitely no place for a baby. I'm still so heart broken about it:( it would have been so perfect for us

No kidding!

Yeah there is a huge problem with someone that's 16 and TTC. I've seen girls on here justify it saying "both my bf and I have jobs, we live together and we only depend on our parents sometimes" things like that. It's one thing to be financially "ready" but another thing entirely to be emotionally ready for a baby. And if you're 16 I'm sorry but you're not emotionally ready for that responsibility. I'm 23 and I'm not sure I'm emotionally ready lol!

I had my first at 16. Not on purpose. but i wish these girls would just understand that its not easy. it sucks seeing your friends do everything you no longer can do because you have responsibilities. Not to mention that guy will more than likely not stick around.

@ninanicole2, exactly! Makes me sad.

I don't understand purposely making life difficult for yourself or a child. I'm in a situation that I feel is very unfortunate, I'm on methadone and there's a good chance that my son will feel withdrawal when he is born and have to be on medication to keep him from getting sick. my pregnancy was not planned but I did a whole lot of research and soul searching before I decided to continue the pregnancy. my point is there are women I know on methadone who are ttc!! it blows my mind that someone would purposely put themselves in a position that has me just sick to my stomach with worry all the time but there are always going to be ppl who do things for their own selfish reasons or do things out of ignorance like trying to conceive at 16! I'm sure there's plenty of ppl who judge me as well. I can't blame them, I'd probably judge me too if it wasn't me in this situation :-\

its because TV makes it seem so much easier then what it really is like! I got pregnant at 14, and had my son a month after I turned 15. I don't regret my son ever, but these girls don't know the sacrifices you have to make and it's so hard for someone that age to do so. I still emotionally have a hard time sometimes because I never got to be a teenager, never once did my mom watch my son for me to go out and have fun, and I mean I'm happy with my life and my children, but I just don't think some girls are able to handle making those types of sacrifices. a child requires so much more than buying them diapers and milk, they actually need attention! Girls that are trying, and become pregnant and don't parent their baby makes us teens who didn't mean for it to happen and actually do what we need to, look bad because we're all teens.
