Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think it really just depends on the person...sometimes mistakes happen ...u get pregnant and there is nothing u can do ...i think its great that they want to have the child and not kill it by getting an abortion ..whether its raising the child them self or giving up for an adoption i think its very mature of the parent (regardless of age). I also think that it would help to have a job to support the child or to be out of school but those things arent always a given choice..there are some families that help out with the new born and i think that can help bring a family closer ...i think its risky to have a child at a young age because it can cause problems for the child and mother (both physically and mentally). U cant determine what is good and bad just by looking but rather to experience the life that person lives. It really just depends on the person having the baby.

I understand some people can handle having kids at an early age, but I think, in the long run, it's bad.

As soon as you have a kid, that kid comes first, before you. That's how life works. And if the kid doesn't come first, then you suck at parenting.

If you're not mature enough to understand that, then having kids is definitely a bad idea. That's why it's commonly smarter to wait until you're older to have kids.

In the case of your sister, though, I suppose that depends on her. I'm not going to say her having a first child, or even a second child at 17, is a bad thing. She might handle children a lot better than most people could at that age.

It all depends on how mature the person is - can they comprehend the fact that their life comes second to their child's life? Can they handle giving up their dreams, their hopes, their planned future, anything that they had wanted to do and now can't do with a child to take care of?

I think in most civilized cultures, it's definitely important to wait until you've completed school before having a child. Because it's important to have a good education, not only for yourself, but for your potential family.

However, I wish we could end schooling earlier/go through the learning process faster if we wanted to, so that we could have kids sooner. I think that since our bodies become ready to have children so early, it's safe enough for the body to have them early, and there must be a reason for that. Also, if you're younger when you have a child, you're closer in age to that child, and that seems important to me. Of course, it also helps to be mature enough to have a child, but that can change depending on the person.

I'm not sure. I always feel disappointed when I learn that a person had a child when they were young, because usually it means they weren't being responsible, and that the child was an accident, and they're obviously not ready to have one. But at the same time, I know a lot of great 16, 17, and 18 year old mothers.

You are a homo sapien sapien who is living in this OVERPOPULATED PLANET CRAWLING WITH MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF HUMANS!!!

No to abortion, though. The kid's already there.

Anyway, as we all know, once that there is someone born, someone should die. Where the one dying is not a newborn. As you can see imagine, humans spawn terrestrially as well as plants. Humans overpopulating on a landmass is bad. This is because of the human habitat called house. Now, to create this "house", you need an open area of land. Meaning you destroy your own food source. It's better if I can present it, though.

Now, to use this common sense, you will be able to spawn more offspring if you are still young. Why is that? Think about it. If you are young, let's say 17, and humans trigger this "menopause" at the age of 50 and human infants are born 40 weeks after conception. 40 weeks can be simplified to 10 months. Now then, refer to the equation below.





Meh, you solve for the normal and late human mating age. I am tired of typing.
