It's never bad to have a baby, to bring life into the world. However, it's harder on the parent (s) and the child if the parent (s) is (are) younger and not financially and emotionally stable yet.
Too early means you might stunt your own growth because you have no time or resources to pursue an education or good job that's if you're not married. Later in life lets hope you're established and married and can better manage having a baby.
With too early, you still have time on your side to bring your life on track. With too late, your decisions will be bound to time running out and sometimes, all run out.
Both have their pros and cons, but I think most people think it's a bit better to have them a little older than younger. Mainly cause they want to enjoy their youth, travel, make friends, or finish certain goals/careers.
What's worse for the mother, what's worse for the father, what's worse for the relationship, or what's worse for the baby? There are different answers to these questions.
Too early is worse, in my opinion. Having that responsiblity can get in the way of trying to accomplish other things. I can't imagine it's easy to get through college when you have a young kid.
College is a waste of time and money. Neither me or my husband went since we had our son at 17. Making that decision was the best decision we've ever made in our lives.
Yeah, I generally agree with that. Unless you're doing something that requires a college education, you're better off going to a tradeschool or running your own business.
Yeah those are better options. My husband is military so we actually have free college but aren't gonna do it since there's no reason to. It'd waste of time and not money
"Having kids is giving me more learning experiences then going to school would"
No, it only gave you learning experiences and the things that YOU decided are important to YOU. Other people have different interests. And if everybody had your mindset, our society would completely fall apart. We need scientists, we need engineers, we need doctors, we need creative people, etc.
I'm sorry, but at this point your statements are just plain unintelligent. I'm done here.
@MountAverage I've had doctors tell me that my experience as mother is better then what they've gotten going through school. You can still learn skills and become all those things you listed without going to school. Things can be self taught/passed down through generations. It's our society that forces education just so people get a job and beome a worker bees. And not for the greater good of actually helping our others.
Neither is necessarily bad if you are able to take care of the baby, my daughter was born 4 months ago and I’d say I’m fairly young but I’m also financially stable as well
Too early, because you need emotional maturity and financial stability to handle young children. You can't really offer a good situation for a kid if you're a kid yourself
I've known people in High school who became pregnant and it really messed up their social life. Id say TOO EARLY from a guys honest opinion. Carful planning if your in your 20s. 30s Id say is ideal.

It wasn't hard for me doing it young even tho I wasn't financially stable yet
It hard for old women to get pregnant and give birth, also higher chances for birth defects.

Guess I stunted my growth then 😂
I am so sorry that happened.
Lol really tho it didn't. Becoming a young mom made me more responsible
That's good but for many it leads to uneducated and even more irrepsonbile behavior like having more kids.
Oh but that sounds like me 😂 I'm anti college and kept having more kids
I don't see how having more kids is irresponsible
It is if you aren't married and can't afford them. Surely you don't think you are in the majority?
I'm married now and can afford them but wasn't when I hadn't my oldest
Too late. There is a greater chance of problems with the baby's health.
There is no perfect age to get married or have kids.. And when you do have kids your never prepared even if you think so.
I would say too late in life but I know women who had perfect births getting pregnant in their early 40s
With too early, you still have time on your side to bring your life on track. With too late, your decisions will be bound to time running out and sometimes, all run out.
Typo: last 3 words: "... already run out".
It doesn't matter, baby is a baby and its a gift from god

What's worse for the mother, what's worse for the father, what's worse for the relationship, or what's worse for the baby? There are different answers to these questions.
In general but mostly for the parents/kid
What's best for the parents is not necessarily what's best for the child.

I mean... unless you just like the idea of learning something. There's a lot to be said for learning for the purpose of learning.
Having kids is giving me more learning experiences then going to school would

nothing is black ans white, so the voting choices should not be. Anyway , i’d have to say they both have their issues
Too early, because you need emotional maturity and financial stability to handle young children. You can't really offer a good situation for a kid if you're a kid yourself
Worst is not having the baby due to an abortion.
I'd imagine that it's harder on your body when you're older.
Too late, complications, can't keep up once baby is running
True. Id like to be your age 28-29 when i have my first child.
Don’t think that matters too much, as productive spawn have come from either. I’d say whichever would be more involved in the child’s life.
I've known people in High school who became pregnant and it really messed up their social life. Id say TOO EARLY from a guys honest opinion. Carful planning if your in your 20s. 30s Id say is ideal.
I was a teen mom lol I don't think it messed up my social life at all since I joined mom groups
I don’t see how having a child 22-23 is having a baby too young. 20-21 is a bit too young but still not that young
