Oh and yeah I wanted a baby at 17. Yeah there'll be alot of smartass comments on that one I'm just waiting for them.

My comments are not 'smartassed', purely questions to get a better understanding of things...

If you're 17, and are not able to completely take care of yourself (ie living on your own, away from your parents, supporting yourself and working for a living) why would you want a child that you will need to support for 18-20 years?

I could understand if you had already graduated from high school and were working at a job (of any type), but I can't fathom why someone would want to burden themselves more than they already are. (Or expect others to help with something they're not obligated to assist with)

April, I personally don't judge you for what you did, it's your life, but I hope that perhaps you could shed some light on why girls want to have children so young. (There has to be a reason - it's becoming nearly epidemic)
