Having children when young

There's a lot to talk about this topic which means there are many pros and cons to it. But one
thing is for sure, having children while being young or a teenager is hard however, it is possible.
Many people say it's hard enough to be a teenager by itself and if you add kids, there comes all
the planning and it becomes even more challenging. The first difficult thing about being young
and having children is how to manage your time. Having kids is time-consuming and if you are
still in school and you have kids too, you have to be very good at managing your time. You have
to manage how to take care of your school work or other responsibilities and at the same time
how to take care of your children. Second thing is, you probably aren't ready for this. Being
young and having to take care of an even younger child isn't something everyone can do, hardly
anyone can actually do that. It's because it's very new to a young person, almost no one has
experience with it, except if they had a younger sibling they had to take care of, although it's
not the same thing. Here comes the next problem, money. If you are still in school or college
and you are not working anywhere, you probably don't have enough money to afford a child.
There are many things that you have to have for your child, you have to feed it, buy clothes and
toys for it, etc. Your parents can help you with it but if you decided to live on your own it's
going to be difficult. With this comes the judgment of others, people will mostly judge you in a
bad way but that shouldn't worry you too much because other people's opinions shouldn't
matter to you at all. They will wonder why such a young person has a child but you can show
them that it is possible. There aren't just cons here, there's plenty of prons to it too. If you have
a kid young, you know you have plenty of time to take a few years if you want to before you
have another. That way, you can have the rest you need if you aren’t too excited at the idea of
having multiple toddlers running around your house at the same time! When you are a young
parent you can relate more to your child, some problems are pretty exclusive to stages of being
a kid and a teenager – problems that stem from school, or life stages that only happen at a
young age. Young parents will have gone through these problems fairly recently, which means
they’re in a much better position to empathize, and their child may listen more if they can see
that this has been a fairly recent problem for their parent. Another good thing in my opinion is
when you have a child young, it means that you’ll mature more quickly and have a better
perspective on life much sooner than those around you. Having a kid young means that you
might skip stages some of your friends go through. While they’re out partying in their twenties
and worrying about that drunk message they sent the night before, you’re at home knowing
that won’t even matter to them by the time they have a child – there are so much more
important things in life. So in conclusion, as I said at the beginning, there are many pros and
cons to this topic and everyone else has a different opinion on this. We should all do whatever
we want to and not listen to anything anyone says badly to us.
