    Wow! I couldn't even imagine thinking of having a baby when I was 17..I didn't even have a serious enough bf yet!

    If that was my little sister I would have slapped her, not even kidding.
  • 1stWoodsBaby1stWoodsBaby
    I'd give my 2 kids for a few days with no help and let her see its not fun all the time. She's crazy.
  • sands3sands3
    Yikes. Obviously she doesn't realize that a baby is hard work. I was 25 when I had my first and wasn't sure I was completely ready.

    Wow! Stuff like that is what makes me scared to have kids now. The world just isnt what it used to be. I mean I did get married at 18, but i didn't have my baby til i was 21. And even then I felt like people looked at me weird

    @everyone she thinks she is grown and mature enough because her and her bf have been together for 4 years. Her bf doesnt even know how to get a woman pregnant and he is 21 years old they both looked up on the internet how to make a baby.
  • MyLove2MyLove2
    Lol @amandas19 tell her to babysit some kids first and then make a decision from there.
  • RoxyRoxy
    she don't know wat she's gonna get her self into. she's so young she needs to injoy the child Hood not the adult Hood. kids these days

    I think that is my same fear. I got pregnant at 18 and i was scared as hell. I apologized to my mom. She would always tell me that there was time for everything, and that i should just enjoy life. But at the moment, i didnt think. I thought i was so in love and that it was ok to have unprotected sex. I got pregnant and then i lost the baby at 17 weeks. I was not ready for everything i went through. Now, Im married to the father of that baby i lost, but life has not been easy at all. Everything i ever wanted to accomplish has been put on hold. And my mom has been supportive, but she has not once helped financially. Everything i have gotten these past years has been with sacrifice. I don't regret anything i have been through, i just wished i have would have waited until i was more mature.

    One of our best family friends was with his gf for 6 years then when she was 19 decided she wanted kid..so got pregnant then they got married the kid is now 11 moths they are already divorced so time has nothing to do with it. Some people only date for two months and get married like my parents and been married for 30 years, but they have already finished their masters degrees when all this happened therefore they were old enough to know... At 17 what could they possibly know....

    If they had to google having a baby then someone wasn't giving them proper education to begin with. I wouldn't really use that as a point against them at there age the sex talk should have came about 7 years ago. It also sounds like she could be mad about how she is being treated. Seriously you are talking like she is the plague because she is a"little 17 year old". How many kids do you have? Maybe she feels like her parent are giving to much hupla to u having babies.

    I am just saying instead of talking to or about her maybe you should try and help her understand the problem. You are the older by at least a couple of years maybe not many tho, because I would never utter the words a little 17 year old and I really don't consider myself a super nice person. This is a delicate situation and the attitude you have on here will only make her do it.

    To be 100% honest at seventeen the only person that better of hit me would be a parent. Anyone one else game on so don't think you could just slap her and she will sit there and take it. Idk her but very few people would.

    ^^^^ I was 17 when I had my first!!
  • AmandaS19AmandaS19
    @char my parents have talked to her about sex and honesy her bf needs to grow up all he does is play video games all day and thankyou very much im 20 years old and im married and only have a 1 year old son. Its my older sister thats has 3 kids and she is 23. So if anything my 17 year olf sister should be tellin this to our older sister not me. My older sister is a single mother of 3 kids.

    Well 20 is not much older than 17 and hell 23 isn't either. I thought you would have been about 21by the way you talked about being her being 17. Your statements actually made me see red for this girl who had to google making a baby. at 17 wtf she is going to b sexually active (almost 100% guarantee). people bi*** about teens pregnancy and abortion but then u come on here and say ur sister didn't know how a baby was made. i really feel sorry for her!!!

    I can see y she would be upset hell she is 17 not even grown yet a 4 grand kids around. Hell yeah I would be pissed to. Someone in ur family needs to take time to give her the attention she needs b4 she gets it the wrong way.
    Sorry I am two old to see this stuff and not tell someone how it is. I got married at 17 and that was hard enough without a baby, we lived our 20's up, now I will be 33 when I have my second and LAST.

  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    I am sure most of the women above were appalled that she googled making a baby they would just never say anything.
  • ashley_smashleyashley_smashley
    Actually I do think that part was particularly sad! ^^
  • AmandaS19AmandaS19
    @char damn your a mean ass bitch really yeah im 20 so damn what im a damn good mother unlike some woman out there. I surely dont appreciate you putting me down i didnt ask for your damn in put if i did i would of tagged you in it.
  • AmandaS19AmandaS19
    @ char thats to damn old to have a baby 33 damn your parents must have been up tight no wonder your one rude bitch.
  • starrxoxo9starrxoxo9
    I think she probably feels left out, but doesn't wanna seem like a cry baby, so she's lashing out by saying that. Some people have that "if you can't beat em, join em" mentality. And if I had to guess, I'm sure they know sex = baby, but maybe they don't know every detail. Just my two cents.
  • ashley_smashleyashley_smashley
    @moderator no reason to speak to people like that @amandas19
  • ashley_smashleyashley_smashley
    And ps...speaking that way really shows your age..

    No hun I lived b4 making babies I bought a house, boat,2 campers and new cars, i went to a casino every weekend. I will never look back and say wish I got to do that. I see how hard it is for my sister that got pregnant at 19, 19 and 17 r close enough to make almost no difference except one should be out of school. Finacially stable not normally unless there is a man a lot older in the picture, but then you tie ur self at a horridly young age to a person forever.
    Not really mean either just not on ur side. I am on the side of the poor girl who might end up ruining her life b4 it begins. Dam I wish I could talk to her. And it is a sign of young age when you get mad because someone does not agree with you and takes anothers side.
  • sands3sands3
    I can see both sides but 17 is def to young to plan to have a baby. She needs to live her life and enjoy being young. No one should have a baby just because everyone else is...that's crazy. I think you and your sister should sit her down and have a long talk about the responsibilities(sp) of having a baby.
  • perlyperly
    @amandas19 i don't think @char was being mean. i think her point is that your sister is seeking attention and it may cause you to get angry, but as her older sister you should take it upon yourself to talk to her and help her understand that having kids is not the way to get the attention she needs. Im also 20 years old and married, and i can honestly say that no matter how much love there is, being married is not exactly peaches. There's ups and downs, something that your sister doesn't need right now. Being a mother at 20 doesn't question the ability you have of being a mother. For all we know, you may be as good as a mother as @char is. Don't take any of this into offense. I know its hard to read attitudes over the web, and this is just simply what i understood from char's comment. The fact that your sister needs to Google how to have a baby is your way into helping her before she makes a decision that will change her life completely.

    What's wrong with being being 17 n having a baby. Like yea I know some ppl are not ready but to the ones that are whatever. The way I see it is. If you open your legs to do it then you are old enough to make your own decisions. You are not the one that is going to have it, be with it, feed it, or cloth it. I'm 19 n I proudly have two babies n I have my husband n I have a house n anything my bbys want or need. So idk in my opinion she knows what she is doing.
  • mommyof3girlsmommyof3girls
    My opinion (because this is a public forum)... No 17 yr old should have a baby or even be thinking about having a baby. They should be thinking about what college to go to and what outfit to wear Friday night NOT worrying about pregnancy and child care. Not worrying about how they are going to pay for diapers!! This is beyond ridiculous!!! I feel bad for the 17yr olds parents honestly. Most parents have dreams of their kids going off to college at/around age 17 not having to worry about their 17 yr old getting knocked up. Now before any panties get in a twist... I myself have a sister who had a baby at 15,16,18!! 3 kids by the age of 18. I've seen all of my sisters struggles. Start being a good parent before u even get pregnant. Be stable before getting pregnant. Don't get pregnant w no means to pay for anything ur child needs and just expect to live off the state.
  • perlyperly
    @can't_wait93 the thing is that some teens think they can take that kind of responsibility, but when the time comes they run off.
    Props to you and anyone else that has made that kind of decision and stood up to the consequences. I think if everyone was responsible like you and your husband, then maybe teen pregnancy wouldn't be looked down on as much as it is. It sucks but is the truth. I hate it, because i decided to have unprotected sex therefore i dealt with the consequences, but some people do not see it like that.
    Now, when it comes to @Amandas19 her sister obviously doesn't know much about sex because she has to Google it. She shouldn't be having sex in the first place. That doesn't mean she won't grow up to be a good mother one day, but by her actions i think its safe to say that this is not her time.
    I was a teen when i first got pregnant, and i have been through hell with the loss of my daughter... i would NEVER wish that for anyone especially a 17 year old.
