How do you feel about young and teenage mums? What are your views? 
And what age do you think is appropriate to have a child?

I think that if your a teenage mom, you are nowhere physicaly, financialy or mentally in a place in your life where you can effectively take care of a child. Therefore i would say the appropiate age is when you are married..and around 21-24 maybe.

I agree completely

This is so true. I couldn't agree more.

You might think that I am a naive #####, but there are even occasions when 10 year olds (!!!) get pregnant. It is really harmful for health (even adult moms die after giving births), but sometimes it may nurture the teenage girl how to be a mother.

I think that teen moms have no idea what it means to raise a child. Most probably don't even take care of themselves financially. My mom was a young mom when she had me but she wasn't a teenager and already had a place of her own and a good job. (She was 22)

I think teenagers shouldn't have children because they don't understand the responsibility of having children. Most of the time teenage moms  push there children over to any family member because they either have to finish school or are starting to get there degree in college. I think my mom was about at the right age to have a child because she had a full time job and she knew the responsibility. (She was 21)

Mentally and Physically, not the best plan.
I don't judge teen mums. Not one bit. And I think 24-31 is the age group that I would catagorize as a good age group to have children.

I think if you're planning to have a kid, you should wait until you're an adult and settled into a steady job and can support yourself and the baby.
However, I have respect for teen moms. Many of them work so hard to finish school, raise a child, work, and still go through the struggles any teenager face. I don't recommend becoming one, but to those who are, congrats you well done.
