Ya they are free to do what they want

no i dont think a 16 yr old shudd have a baby i have a friend in the same situation but theres no going back yes it is irresponsible but things happen

---

I don't think having a baby at the age is 16 is such a good idea but If they feel ready then fine but I wouldn't plan on having a baby at such a young age..

---

no although many people in my family have done it I think they should get married first.

I cannot see why a 16-year-old would want to leave their youthfulness and school life to fulfil such difficult responsibilities. There are many reasons why a 16-year-old should not have a child. Firstly, the teenager would have to leave their life as an adolescent and move on to being a full-time mother. This involves leaving school to take care of the child or calling a babysitter every single school day (which brings us up with the issue of money) and getting a job to take care of the child's responsibilities. Furthermore, there is more of a chance you would have to take care of this job on your own, seeing as most boys leave the mother and the child. Moreover, there may be difficulties during the event of bringing the child into the world. It is harmful to the person's young, not-fully-adapted body and may leave them vulnerable and in pain. There have been a few cases of children not fully developed and being weak and small. I believe that 23 years or older should be the most mature selection for children where you are out of college/university and hopefully have a good house and job.

I don't know I seen bunch of prego girls my school.

No it is wrong a 16 year old can not raise the kid to be strong and stuff like that.

---

Certainly not! 16 year old girls are still going through all their horomones. It'll be unhealthy for them to go through the pain of giving birth, since they're not physically strong. 
Did you know, females are more sensitive to high-pitched sounds, than men, to hear the baby's cry? How would she develop it at such a young age? She does not have the emotional and physical strength as a, let's say, thirty five year old woman.

No way unless she's married but 16 is even young for marriage

---

Irresponsible, that's all I can say. I believe what causes a baby shouldn't happen until after marriage. When those girls have barely finished college their child will be in 5th grade.
