I am now 27 years old. I had my first child at the age of 16. No, it is not a right age! No 16 year old should ever have to deal with this! I went through so many ranges of emotions, I was an only child. With a very small family. I did not know anything about babies. But I was all alone and pregnant! With only my mom. Whom, completely left my decision up to me. I never wanted children of my own, as I was a greedy, spoiled, only child. But I felt that I needed to do this. Some people don't realize this, and if before they are about 3-4 months along, I think they need to make major decisions! If they are truely not ready for it, then they need to make a decision what they are going to do. I, personally find it very appauling that children 12-13 years old are now having babies. I know the fact that I was 16 is appauling enough........And I find it sick as well. But when you look at the ages getting younger and younger.......where is the end?
