age does matter, as a teen you are still growing up, i dont think teens should ever decided to have a baby

Two things that bother me:
If the new parent is expected to drop out of school to care for the infant, or is not given enough support to continue with school.
If the new parent is not taking good care of the infant.
The second one happens all too frequently with all age groups of parents, but the first, well… I’ve seen too many people say “oh well, you screwed up so now you don’t get your diploma, figure it out” and to me that seems to be condemning both mother and baby to a life of misery. Yeah, Mom screwed up but why make both mother and baby suffer? Shouldnt these girls be taught to do the best for their babies as adult mothers are?

age doesnt matter what matters is if you love your child and show them as much love as poosible because even old people that have kids never know what their doing every baby that is had will be different no one baby canbe raised different as long as you try your hardest to provide for your child thts all that really matters parents back in the day 60′s or 70′s had very lil money or education but they made sure to teach their kids values and show the mas much love as possible

I think it’s a great idea for parents to spend time with their kids regardless of age.

Age doesn’t make the mother, maturity does.
Parents of all ages make appalling parents and should never have been allowed children.
You don’t have to be a teen to be a bad mum.
The majority of us make great parents and we love our kids to death, just because we didn’t do things the way society dictates they should be done, it doesn’t mean what we did was wrong.
Nature suggest that women have children young, that’s the point of getting your period at around 12, that is when nature intended for us to start reproducing, it’s only society that says it’s wrong.

It doesn’t matter to me because i am a teen mother. I’m 18 turning 19 soon. I honestly think age doesn’t matter when it comes to raising a child. Some teen parents just aren’t ready to parent there child because they still want to party and stuff. I don’t feel right to do anything. Smoking cigerettes and drinking. I feel wrong even being by it. and i use to be into that. Some people say when i turn 21 that it will change. I wasn’t really even into it in the first place so i don’t think it will change but idk yet. But what im trying to get at. is it all depends on the person. So Age doesn’t matter its the person and there maturity and moral beliefs

I planned my child at 18
I also worked my behind off while pregnant and opened a seafood store
with my boyfriend,
Who I co raised ( seperated) My child with for the last 27 yrs and remain we friends/family with today
We expanded that store ..opened 2 more in other cities
delivery catering..wholesale and retail.
My baby was on my back , not at a sitter.
I got my GED & went to college in my late 20s graduated in my mid 30s.
My son is a sucessful musician today making more money than god
Pretty good for an 18 yr old single mom
