Ok well I started dating this guy Thomas an I used to live with him (my mom was his foster mom for like a year a few years ago) so I know him fairly well but weve really only been dating a few weeks. An he got a tattoo of my name the other day so i know hes commited an we lost our virginity to each other so were real close but idk.
I mean he doesnt have a job an my mom would accept me getting pregnant if we get married first but my dad an siblings already dont like him (my dads laptop was stolen an he thinks it was Thomas, an even though Thomas already proved it wasnt him but my dad still belives it was Thomas so yeah)
Hes a highschool drop out but hes moving away soon for the rest of the year an when school starts up again hes gonna enroll himself so he can finish an go on to college.
But really my only concern is that hes turning 17 an im 15 :/ sooo yeah i mean im ready physically, mentally an emotionally to have a child its jus idk if he is an if he is theres still the concern that, how are we gonna feed, clothe, love, an house a baby? Hes not even sure where hes gonna be living in a couple months when the people hes living with right now moves!

Anyone an Everyone plz comment I need some help on this!!!!

No, your not. Sorry, but you aren't. Your fifteen. Your guy is fully dependent on others. You have only known him for a few weeks how do you know he will stay with you? A tattoo does not show commitment. Sure, he thinks he is committed (maybe), but that doesn't mean anything; he can easily be done with you, ditch your kid, and have his tattoo removed. It isn't impossible. It's not your boyfriend's choice if YOU have a kid. Why does he want a kid? Maybe a puppy is a nice alternative to hold you both over until you are truly ready to raise your own child.

I hope I helped!

Umm, yeah. He sounds kind of creepy to me. Fairly stalkerish. 'look I got a tatoo of your name now let's make babies'. O_o

15 is not ready. I'm fifteen. I know you think you're ready, but you're not. Tell Thomas that if he wants a kid, it's either not with you or in at least five years. Ten would be best. You sound more mature than he is, tell him to slow the hell down. You've known each other a few years, been dating a few weeks, and are both still in high school. Having a child now would be beyond stupid. WAY beyond stupid.

Just because he got a tattoo of your name doesn't mean he's committed.

Don't do it. In 3 yrs if you still want a baby that badly with him then do it...but don't right now or in the near future.

being 15 doesnt mean im not ready. girls have been haveing children an raising good, well off an respectable families since forever. modern times has jus spoiled an neglected children so much that society has consiered young mothers not capable or responsible enough to raise their own baby. the only reason i added in my age is because i was concerned of what my family would think.

You aren't ready. The difference between a 15 year old and a 25 year old is that a 15 year old thinks they're ready, and a 25 year old is unsure, but really is ready. Here's an example: I think I could raise a kid. School and money aside, I think I could support child and love them. But, here's the problem: I'm 13. I know that I'm wrong. I can't emotionally, or physically support a child, though I think I can. Plus, I know I need to go to school, and there is no way I can financially support a baby. Can you? What are you supposed to do during school with your baby? How can you buy him clothes, food, diapers, a bed, a bouncy seat, a high chair, a bath, bathing supplies, and the list goes on and on. Don't dig yourself into this hole. Please. You will regret it.
