yeah I started kindergarten at age 5 (grew up in Texas) and graduated at 18

Kari's right... I graduated at 17 actually ( in June, my 18th birthday was in July) but I asure you I definitely 'lived it up'.

I think between the ages of 4/5 and 18 we all do the same things, just a different way around

I dont think lozzy meant to write it like she did! She just means we're done with school at 16 and most of us hit the booze early. But this is just a stereotyping of us and teens in the US. She doesnt mean to offend.

i think when planning a baby age isnt the main factor (obivously if ur still in education its not wise to plan a baby) its mauturity and fiancial sitiuation X

i should read a whole thread before posting!

Aria your commment was very rude and uncalled for a lot of us on here under 22 are good mothers who are in secure relationships the same as any of the older mothers. i have bee with my partner for nearly 7 years! You really need to think how u word things as ur beginning to annoy a lot of people!!!!!

I wasn't offended but was confused at starting proper school at 7, because we do start around the age of 5. So was just trying to clarify because I was a little confused

same here-wasn't offended at all, just thought I would correct her

Well I agree with pretty much everyone here, it is pretty much about you, your partner, and your circumstances (although I too wouldnt promote TTC for the under 18's).

There is no perfect time to be come a parent, just like most things in life, thing usually dont pan out the way we hope so how can there be? I got pregnant with my first child when I was 18, he was born shortly before my 19th (I was working until he was born), a few weeks later he got meningitis (he made a full recovery) and although me and his Daddy were already engaged it made us realise that we wanted to get married now, so just six weeks later we did just that. When Morgan was just 15 months old his little sister was born (I was 20), then we got pregnant again and when Morgan had just turned three and Naomi-Mae 22 months Honey was born sleeping, we TTC straight away and 4 days before Honey's first birthday (Morgan had just turned 4 and Naomi-Mae 2 months off being 3) there little sister Kaysie was born. So now I am only 23 with 4 children, I was a young mum, and we as a family have been through SO much, but the proof is in the pudding, me and Matt are still going strong, all of my l/c are bright, healthy individuals, but more than, my children are happy, loved and happy considering what the older two have been through, I think that shows young Mum's can do fine, more than fine.

SO to the people slating young mum's its all bullshit, I am a young mum and PROUD!!!

And sorry for the rant, just got a bit cross there
