I would like to add that people's personalities can change drastically up until mid to late twenties. You have no idea how you or your bf will be in the future. The chances of you becoming a single parent if you become a parent now are very big. And believe me being a single parent is one of the hardest things you can do.

really? 4 years huh? that meant you were a TWELVE year old with a boyfriend. you can't even get married at 16 without your PARENTS permission, that kinda says something in itself doesn't it? hold it in your pants, you are still a child whether you like it or not.

I think you like the idea of having a baby and being pregnant but in reality your aren't ready. What a couple years until your out of college and settled then have one. You can give your child much more if you wait.

first off this forum is NOT for discussion on how to get pregnant. if you do ask advice on how to get pregnant the posts will be deleted immediately.

now as for is it crazy...yes it is. you're 16. you are MUCH too young to ttc. you're still a kid yourself. your reproductive organs are not fully formed yet. you may have jobs but there is more to think about. who will take care of the baby when you're in school? 2 min. wage jobs CAN NOT take care of a child, you, housing, car, insurance and everything else. what about living arrangements...do you and your b/f expect your parents or his parents to house both you, him and the baby? why not wait until you're out of school, graduated from college, married, have your own home AND decent paying jobs. you and your b/f NEED to sit down and talk to BOTH of your parents about this. even if it's "your" baby you'll be living with them so they need to be consulted with.
