I hear what you're saying but sometimes you just hope that some of them will be open to hearing what some more experienced people have to say.  I'm not even talking about an old fart like me...lol.  You hope that they could see what someone who is their age experienced because there is common ground there.  I've answered her posts before but frankly, when you hear someone say that they have experience babysitting and so they know what it's like to be a mother, it sort of makes you want to say, hold it, you know nothing about being a parent until you are one.  But this is a public forum and whether she's 18, younger or older, you will get differing opinions.  Just because she's 18 doesn't mean she can't hear the truth.  I support plenty on these forums, but I can choose to ignore it or I can say something.  One day, she will get herself pregnant and look back and say, wow, those ladies on that forum were right, this is hard.

i see what your saying,but dont forget this girl is only 18. pregnant or not,she is very young and most of us here are older,more mature and experienced.. i think given her age ppl shouldnt be getting on her back.at 18 girls have enough problems going on,coming on to a site like this she should feel safe and accepted.if you think her responces are immature,just leave it,move on to the next posts.if someone gets bent out of shape,leave them to it,especialy if there young,i think you know what i mean.
if a young girl wants to get pregnant,believe me,theres nothing anyone can say on here that will change her mind.there going to go and do it anyway,so no need to agree or disagree,but just be here for support.

No one was being nasty or smart.  She was the one who got bent out of shape because someone had said to her that they had wished they waited and told their experience.  That part of the post was deleted because she got obnoxious with her.  I also was not being harsh, I was asking her how she was going to handle all of the responsibilities that come with having a child.  Just because you babysit or nanny it doesn't make you fundamentally capable of taking care of a child.  You are not responsible for paying for all the necessities nor for health insurance and medical bills.  It's hard and all people here were giving their experiences, she chose to take it in the wrong way.  It wasn't until then that people got smart with her.  Like I said before I don't judge young parents because my cousin is one and I support her whole heartedly.  She does a great job and is still continuing her education but she is doing it on her own.  The baby's father is there to an extent but she gets public assistance and her mother and father help pay for the other things she may need.  There isn't one day that goes by that she doesn't say, this is hard, I miss my old life.  She loves being a mommy but if she could go back in time, she would do things differently.

i think some ppl on here are being very hard on this girl.she came on asking a question about symtoms of pregnancy.she is entitled to be here just as much as everyone else.if she wants to have a baby thats up to her,please if your not happy with that,then keep your opinions to yourself..she does not need smart remarks or to be told not to post here. the kids she minds may not be hers but at least she has some experience with children and is not completely blind to how hard it will be.it may be little experience but its more than most 18 year olds would have.if your not happy with her intentions then dont post on her tread. she is a young girl and will need support so i hope she keeps posting and is not put off by some ppls reaction.

Ammanda: I so agree with you. I was watching and reading  all the post last nigh and I was really getting irritated with it all but hopeful these young girls who do come on here do get the advice that they are looking for and not take offense if its not what they are looking for.
I am 27 years old I already have 2 wonderful girls they are almost 8 and 4. But I was one of those girls who were 19 and pregnant, I was working full time and going to school full time, I was not ready, Yes I wanted kids but not at that time, but things happen and depending on from person to person they will make there choice. I had my little girl and NO I wouldnt have changed her for the world but I do wish it was alittle bit later, at least after I was done with school. I ended up having to drop everything (difficult pregnancy cuz I was young)  And now here I am 10 years out of High School and doing things like I am a college student but I have a family, Now instead of just working and going to school 10 years ago, I am full time mom, wife, student, VERY VERY little room for ME time. I do have a wonderful husband from the very beginning (been together 10 years), it has been tough even financially. We are a family of 4 that lives on one income all because we started out early, I had no education to get a real job ,except High Diploma, and now days thats not even good enough anymore, But I wish everyone the best of look on everything in your lives.

mami- yes I understand exactly what your saying. Im completely baffled by all of this.  Its like I dont think ive ever been asked advise, then yelled at because it wasnt what they wanted.. that really upsets me.. If I would have known she was only 18 I would have just turned away. I didnt find out till last night, and I should have known since the way she acted.  She should be put on Maury for that segment on teens trying to have babies. lol.. But yea even though im 20, thats still very young, and I would have never gotten pregnant if I didnt truely believe my fiancee would be there. I have a wonderful man. and even though hes always there for me.. being pregnant is so emotional and financially hard.. we have money, all the money this baby could need... but its still very scary.. And some girls say well all they need is love... yes they need tons of love, but that is not all they need.. I could never let someone else take care of my kid, when I was the one that purposely brought it in the world.  I planned my son, but I have the responsibility, love, maturity, money, family for it.. Yea at least we tried. thats all I can say..
