I'm 15, will be turning 16 in March of next year. I'm normal sized, blond hair, blue eyes, I'm outgoing, and I usually use logic to help me decide the best decision for myself. I love going online and being creative. I have lots of friends, and I love giving hugs to everyone who needs one.
Ever since I was little, and my Dad married his second wife, having their first and only daughter, I've always wanted to be a Mother. My Dad has four kids, and I love my little half-siblings to death. Most teenagers you encounter hate watching children for a long period of time, but I've played peek-a-boo with a little one year old that I babysat for my neighbor for and hour straight, and played with her 7 year old as well; they both loved me. I've always been told I'd be the perfect mother, and I can't wait to meet the perfect father.
The fact is, I have met the perfect father. I've seen him with kids, I've heard about how he knows to control his temper, he doesn't do any drugs, alchol, or any addictive substances, he works hard to get what he wants, and he's major sweet. He's my current boyfriend, and he wants to propose to me when he gets the chance, but that's just it: We've never met. I met him online, on a game. We've had webcam conversations, phone conversations, and we want to be together.
He's about to turn 18 this September, and he wants to have children with me next year, after I turn 16. He'll have inherited a large fortune from his tribe, to where he'll come see me, get a job in my area, and settle in an apartment. We'll both be working and saving up our money. I've listed my fears to him, but the yearning to become a Mother is so overwhelming. The worries of not having enough money, or that my parents might disown me for getting pregnant before I graduate college, which I haven't even started, equals that overwhelming feeling.
I know what many of you are thinking; She's a teenager, what does she know about love? Or, 'Maybe she just wants a baby, and is useing the father's money for her own devices.' I can answer both of these. When you've been hurt so many times in your life, been abandoned by everything you once thought loved you and cared for you, and that one person stayed there and was by your side through it all, how could you not love them back when they tell you they have feelings for you? If that isn't love, I'll never know what it is. The second is this; I know someone who is a single mother, who is also my age. I've seen what it does to her and the baby. I don't just scoop out any rich person for my own devices, I look for someone who will love me and my baby, and all the craziness that comes with it.
Back to the matter at hand...
My parents are very strict people, sometimes very kind, but most of the time, they put me down with words, and sometimes my step-dad and brother get into horrible fights, and the only reason, I believe, I haven't gotten hit is because I keep what I want to say to myself. But being pregnant is something I cannot hide, and I'm afraid my parents my try to force me to get an abortion, which I'm strongly against.
So my big question is this: I want to get pregnant, and become a Mother as soon as possible, which /will/ happen next year, the problem is...what should I do to make this easier on my family and my soon to be fiance, as well as to take care of my developing baby?

i am sure ur in love and believe me i know what one feels whn ther r in love
but having a baby at such a young age i wont recommend and i am sure no one will
sometimes we have to do things that we r not willing to do
just think about the consequences of having a baby at this age?
what will people think about u having a baby?
how will u be able to continue ur studies?
if u cant study and make a career out of it then u wont be able to give all the facilities to ur child
do remember that not every marriage works and do look at the rate of divorce
People change and i have everyone around me has as we have matured and all
you might change ur boyfriend might change
trust me u shouldnt even be thinking of having a child
best of luck

Also, I'm sure you've probably heard this before but there are tons of health risks involved in having a baby at such a young age. The way the doctors put it is that you are still developing. Women don't stop developing until they are around 24 when their uterus' are fully developed into their adult size. Before that time, your womb isn't prepared to carry a baby and so you are not only putting yourself at risk, but you are also putting the baby at risk of problems such as premature birth and mental illness. If you wait to have a baby, you have a greater chance of having a healthy baby. This would make both yours, and the babies life a lot happier.
If you were truly being honest with yourself, I think you would realize that this isn't the best time to bring a baby into the world. How would your family treat both you and the baby? Would they love and support you? Would they help you raise the baby? I think that if I were going to purposely have a baby, I would consider these things for a very long time before I made any decisions. Please take what I have said into consideration because I have experienced this and know that having a baby in highschool isn't what its all cracked up to be.

the main thing i want you to know is that if you cant take care of yourself { being able to pay rent or anything financially} than maybe you should not be so selfish by bringing a new life into this world. it is your choice. i think you are to young but im not saying you could not do it. you should wait. live your life before bringing another one in. and that seven year old you were talking about.. wouldnt you freak out if in 7 years he/she was a parent. live your life to the fullest honey. atleast try to wait untill you are closer to 18 you will apprieciate waiting in the future weither you believe that or not.
and im like you i would adore being a mother and thats all i can think about every single day. and i also know ill be a good mother. but i am older than you are and have lived my life a little bit.
its your choice tho

tell the guy you want to wait and tell yourself that because honestly at sixteen you don't know what Ur getting in to having kids is a big deal also having them at the right time can make it good news but if you have it right now it can effect your life right now having a baby will wear you down trust me i have 2 kids a 8 year old and a 10 year old it is not easy so really think about before you act think of all the pros and cons of this if you wait until your at least 19 you will be great full you had patience plus if this guy really loves you he will understand if he doesn't it will be OK it just means hes not the one trust me im 32 and i barley know what im doing half the time

Awww honey... don't get carried away with people you meet online, it's not safe... trust me... i had a very bad experience with it and a lot of other people do too, there are a lot of very weird guys online that catfish or take advantage of girls who don't understand, but since you;ve never met him you can't even know what they are like till you've met them, and is this what he says about himself? and for real? he already wants to get engaged and have children with you?, this is too much... i will tell you to just sit and think about this for a moment... you've never truly met the guy in person, apparently he's a nice, sweet guy with no temper and he already wants get married and have your kids?, tell me there isn't something wrong with this picture?. I know you may not want to hear it but trust me from being there myself from some VERY weird guy who after just a week of talking to him tried to get me to move down to him and was already saying he would marry me... when i had never ever met the guy in person... but from meeting a few guys online non of them were very nice guys and 99% of them online aren't... they are ether not very nice guys who like to mentally and emotionally mess with guys, catfish you and make fun of you with their friends or they just want sex or worse... been there... and guys online only take advantage of the things you want, your loneness, insecurities and they act like they are the only ones that were some how there for you, but they aren't. My story is exactly the same as yours, i don't have a good family, non of us have much in common, they only care about themselves and have for the most part just neglected my emotional and mental needs, totally abandoned for sure, and it's just always been a lot of fighting and i've always just been left out of everything, had to sacrifice so much for them just so they can get what they want... my bro used to be a giant bully and used to pin my parents against me to get me to give him what he wanted of mine and they would then call me the selfish one, shout at me, shove me down and in general my parents claim they are supportive but they have never not once been happy for me with anything, believe me i know what it's like... but letting all of that bother me put me in some horrible situations... the last straw was some guy i talked to for some years online as jus a friend, stupidly thought i could trust and then all of a sudden he calls the cops on me twisting what i said, ever since i heard and i''ve not just come to understand i can't talk to my family, it's pointless even trying, they don't care about me not really... and i just gotta focus on getting out of here, but not by talking to a lot of VERY weird guys online... that's NOT the way to do it. I know it may seen like your in a cage and you can't seem to find a way out but trying to find some bum online just to get out isn't the solution, and your only 15 years old, my advice is just hang in there until your 18, stop talking to strange guys online before something really bad happens and don't let them pray on you like that, people make it seem like the internet is a good place to meet people but it's not.. .some people got lucky but 99% of the time your only speaking to weirdos, you remind me a lot of me, but just please don't do this and don't de-value yourself like this. What you could do is just find a job, save up money then in a year or 2 more out some where, find some people to be room mates with or some where someone is looking for roomies and get out, it's a MUCH better solution and more sensible.
