So we've all read the pregnancy threads, but I don't think this question has come up. Would you have sex as a teenager in hopes of having a child?

I love children, and would definitley have sex as a teenager in order to have a child. Ofcourse, I would only do it if I knew for a fact that the baby's father would support the child completley.

Many teenagers don't like babies, maybe because they have a baby-sister or brother, or maybe it's just because they don't like babies. I love them, despite the messes they will do, and the annoyance they are sure to cause.

So, would you have a child as a teenager?

i definatley want children when i grow up. i LOVE kids and i know that parenting is one of the most rewarding things a person can do. theres just nothing like the feeling i get when i hold a baby in my arms and feel their soft skin while they lean their head on my shoulder and breathe warm air into my ear. but i have so many goals in my life, i want to go to college and become a doctor, and having a child to early would interfere with all that. so i will definatley wait till i'm older before trying to have a baby (till then, i'll stick to playing with other peoples kids).

but i REALLY don't want to have a baby

Me niether, I am just not the type. If I had lots of children I would pick a favorite, and if I had one I would let it do whatever it wants, and name it a stupid name like Cleetus or Jubacah or It.

you know, this might sound bad, but i REALLY don't want to have a baby. not like that its just that I don't want to HAVE have one. Ugh I don't think I want to go through pregnancy and all that crap. There are so many kids without families, I would be fine with adopting but I think it would be hard to...you know, deal with explaining adoption to the kid especially if they are like older when you adopt them. Adopting an infant would be ok but I would definetely tell them about adoption because when people find out on their own I think it's pretty crushing.

i wouldnt want to have a child in my teen years but i know a few people who are planning to already.

i would definently not have a child in my teen age years. there is no way to know wether or not the baby daddy is gonna stay wit u for the whole thing. not only that but u would throw ur whole life away. i mean, if i was to have a baby while i am a teenager, i would have to leave school. i cant afford to take care of it. plus i have a life to live, and im too young to deal with the stress

i beleive in abstinance until marrage, but if i were to have a baby as a teenager, i would keep it. i couldnt give a baby up, knowing my own story.
(cue light dimmage haha)
my mom had me when she was 14, thats how old i am now. her parents didnt want her to keep me, due to money and housing problems, but she did. she kept her child, me.
as for the teen moms never get anywhere stereotype, my mom is now a sucessfull, married, buisnesswoman that lives in northen florida, in a fat house near the beach.

I don't want kids until I'm atleast 25.

one of my friends has a bf and i didn't think their relationship would be anything serious, but when they started having sex and she thought she might be pregnant he even bought her the pregnancy test! I was glad to hear he was so good to her and things turned out ok; she wasn't pregnant

We need more teenagers in the world like this.

I know it's hard trying to raise a kid as a teenager, go to school and have a child. Trust me I do know, not that I was pregnant but just about 4 of my relatives have or are going through this very thing right now.

I hate little children. But if I did have any, which would be after the age of 30, I'd raise them to be evil like me.

Good job on having mature conversations with your boyfriend. There are so many girls who don't talked to their boyfriends about STD's and pregnacies.

I think that girls do that because they are afraid of there bf's reaction. 'Will he even want to go out with me again if I bring up the topic of a possible pregnancy?' is a question I feel goes through a teenage girl's mind rapantly.

I wouldnt intentionally. If it happened I would be very excited. And I know my boy friend at the moment, would support me. We have talked about it, just incase it happened. But I wouldnt intentionally get pregnant as a teen.

No, your youth is jus too short and having a kid just makes it shorter. I don't wanna have a kid till I'm married and even then I want the father to be ready too.

No, I absolutely adore kids, but I don't plan on having them for another 8 years. I rather be independent first and have fun before having to become something so responsible as a mother. Plus, I baby-sit a lot and that definitely helps me realize that you should wait to have kids.
