Re: Advice with handling/telling over-protective parents? - September 1st 2014, 04:01 PM

You are not a terrible person, it's very common for teenagers to want to have children.

Have you thought about how you will be able to financially support this child? Can you afford somewhere to live, food, electricity, water, plus all of the needs of a child? Do you have your own health care?

Are you aware with the risks of having a child in your teens years? Do you know teenage pregnancies have a higher rate of miscarriage. The baby is more likely to be born with physically and mental disabilities than born to a woman in her twenties. Babies born to teenagers also have a higher risk of dying from SIDS.

There is a lot to consider. Is it really worth risking things just to have a child right now? You can always have one in the future. There's is no rush.
