(Simple: you're not honestly thinking of having a baby are you?!)
Answer: Stupid idea in general, but as always depends on circumstances...actually, come to think of it, just a stupid idea.
A family that will be able to support a baby needs to have a good education to get a good job. A good education means secondary and 90% of the time tertiary education as well. When you have a baby while trying to go thru the last few years of school, your studies get all fucked up and you don't get a good education and you don't get a good job and you can't support the baby and *POOF* it all goes to hell.
So no, don't have a baby. Keep thinking about it, but wait until your education is finished at least - preferably, wait until you have a steady job with a decent income as well.
Hope this has dissuaded you from such a silly idea.
I don't live to work, I work to live and I live at the weekends. I'm the last of the big time drinkers.
and it would be really stupid 2 have a baby now. i take it u agree with abortion?
good take.
*ducks the blows that will no doubt come*

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road. Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
i completely agree drifter.i also think that it's really selfish to even think of planning on having a baby without being able to give it the care and
attention it deserves. not to mention how expensive it would be.
down with the pork and apple combination!!!
she had to quit school so she didn't finish her a'levels and she's working at the moment bu has to stop soon as she's getting too tired. she's quit smoking and she doesn't drink as much now. she hardly ever goes out clubbing. and i know what they're trying to get child benefits or something. they have a flat and he's got a job and a car.
even though this pregnancy wasn't planned...i think it has still worked out pretty good. they know what they're doing and best of all...her parents are dead on about it.
on the other hand...(this is really weird) but my other bestmate MIGHT be pregnant too now. it's not definite but i know myself that her pregnancy wouldn't work out as well as my other best mate's has. only been in a relationship for 3 months, her parents are really strict and she's determined to stay on at school etc etc etc...
so these 2 are my best mates...but them having a baby is 2 opposite plans...
