What is too young?
Answer:
Yes.
1. You are not married.
2. You haven't completed your education.
3. At 17, you don't have a job that can support you; much less you & a baby.
4. You have not experienced life yet. Go and have fun, try new things, meet new people, live YOUR life. You have plenty of time left to have a baby.
5. You are not emotionally ready for a baby. Babies are cute and cuddly, but they are also very demanding. And babies can't tell you what they want/need, and that can be very frustrating.
No matter how much you think you "love" your boyfriend, very few relationships that you have at 17 will last a lifetime. Grow up first, learn what love is, get married, and have tons of kids with the man of your dreams.
i know many people who have a baby at like 17 and they are fine but they cant hang out with friends,go to parties or whatever you like to do.so what i suggest is to wait and think do you want a responsiblity to look after 24/7 (good luck).remember your mom or a baby sitter could help but theres always a possibility somthing bad could happen and you wont be there.THINK
MERRY CHRISTMAS

I think that is too young....
You may think you are ready, but you are not. You're may be physically ready for a baby, but not mentally. Try to hold off a few more years :)
Look for a woman 19+ who you see as being responcible enough to be a mother.
no what took you so long you should have 3 kids by now
IM me we can talk. I got pregnant when i was 17 and had my daughter when I was 18. I could give you a few tips
yes.
If you feel responsible enough for this, talk it over with your guy. I don't think you're awful. Just remember this is another life you're talking about. Talk it over with your parents. Talk to somebody!
Good luck!
Yes you are. Everyone will tell you that what we wanted when we were that young...we are VERY GLAD we didn't get it. Trust me, please! A baby is never a mistake, but you will miss out on a lot.
Yes, yes you are way to young! I am seventeen myself and I have a lot of friends my age that have kids, and trust me, they are NOT having the time of their life right now! You have plenty of time to have kids, in the mean time, be a teenager and have FUN!
YEZZZZ wait til ur like in ur twenties
Wait until you grow up a little, whats the rush? You have your whole life in front of you. First thing you need to do is get through college, that will set the best example for your child. After you get out of college and start a career, get married and then have a baby...or two!
Yes you are. You can think about having a kid but don't act upon it until you are married and have a job and lots of money to take care of the child. Its harder than it seems.
sorry to say but it is way too young. Is it because you want to settle with your man beacuse your afraid he'll leave? or is it because you just love babies? However so, having a baby at seventeen isn't a smart decision. Your boyfriend might leave you if you have a baby, your friend and family might not respect you and you might not be able to take care of it. I hope you'll take this advice into consideration. Im glad you know that wanting a baby at seventeen is wrong. Goodluck in whatever you do.
wait. i have four kids. it isn't as easy as it looks or sounds.
get a little older first. get your education first. get yourself together. it's hard to raise a child working at burger king trying to pay rent, car note, lights, baby formula, groceries, etc.
That's up to you. Are you emotionally ready to be a mother? Are you financially capable of providing for a child adequately? (They aren't cheap, ya'know). Or did you just plan on squeezing out a rugrat and being another burden on society? Do the child, yourself, and everyone else a favor and make sure you're completely ready to support the child and handle the parenting before you get pregnant.
It depends on a lot of things. I know 17 year olds that are more responsible than some 30 year olds. I think that you should get a good education and wait a few years though. Make sure that your relationship is going to last and that you have a way to take care of the baby.
!!LIVE YOUR LIFE!! - Before you do all that.. you have years to have babies.. Go get high..
Can you truly support a baby financially? Are you really ready to bring a life into this world and be ready to handle the responsibility by yourself ?
Having kids will come soon enough. Do some things in life that better yourself and also wait for the right guy who will be a good husband and daddy. Having a baby is not fair to the child without both a mommy AND a daddy to take care of it. Wait, it will all come to you.
You're not young? It's not stupid, sort of normal actually. I'm 15 and want a kid. But do know, babies are such a huge responsibility! They costs so much, they cry alot keeping you up most nights, You won't be able to hang out with your friends anymore, you'll be taking care of your kid.just thoughts to consider.
your not awful but you are too young. how will you support a baby your not ready yet get an education and a really god job then worry about having a baby when your in your mid 20s
your way 2 young. a baby changes everthing just be happy with your special lady and think about kids after you are at least 20. i want kids but 17 is way 2 young they change everything and it is a huge responsibility. yeah you really want one now but things might change so just be happy being a teen. once you have a kid a relationship changes 2 its not just you and your girl there's also a kid and not everything goes as planned. hope this helped. wait a little longer.
think of it as you thinking ahead. a lot of kids your age want babies, but they can rarely afford it. so what i would do is plan ahead. wait until you get married and then have a baby or two. (you'll be better off if you plan ahead)
do what u want to do but remember you have to live your life first
Enjoy your youth. You have so much time to have a baby. Wait until you're older and settled down (married). You will then be able to give the baby everything it needs. Having one now is a selfish thought, they cost a lot of money to raise.
It's great you're in relationship, however a desire for having a baby is respectively your choice, but think of the consequences before you decide to. Is it fair for the baby? Will you use your time wisely? What if your boyfriend leaves you? I suppose you wait until marraige, because then you will have the most support for your baby. I think it doesn't matter how old you are, it matters if you want the baby and if you thought about the future of the baby.
In terms of generalizing, yes you are a bit young, seventeen years old... maybe wait a year, or even better wait until you are almost done with colledge. Then again, if you have a loving, supporting family and boyfriend you will turn out succesful. I hope this would highly help you.
Its not that your to young but, its more of a question are you ready? Can you provide a stable and loving home (ie. a steady income and 2 loving parents) ? Are you willing to give up all of your free time and most of your energy (because babies don't sleep though the night for about the first year)? Hun your not awful because my bf and i both wanted a baby no more than a few months ago but we talked and realized that neither of us is ready to give up everything for a baby. And if your going to have a baby you need to be willing to give everything (goal, social life, sex life, hobbies and friends) and personally we weren't ready. But if you think that you are than may be blessed. I know that i wasn't so my bf and i compromised and got a puppy he's cute and he's our baby.
You have a smart head on your shoulders! Trust me if you wait a few more years... you will look back and be grateful for the decision to wait.
You will go through so many changes in the next couple of years... enjoy it... learn who you are when you're not a 'high-school student'.
Babies will force you to postpoe many things in your life... try to look forward to those... having a baby can wait.
You might even appreciate it more if you're older.
If you're living in the room you grew up in, down the hall from the great people who've given their blood, sweat and tears to get you to this point in your life, then you are an ungrateful, immature, probably spoiled little chit.
However, if you are living on your own, and have an income and a way to care for the new little life you want to create, then just possibly it might be appropriate. IF you are mature, well adjusted, healthy in mind and body, and have a support system to help you.
So, which is it? Is this a normal part of early adulthood, or the gratification of a passing whimsy that's going to cause a world of hurt for some poor, innocent little kid being haphazardly raised by an impulsive flake? Only YOU know.
