I became a mother at 16 I think it's more about are u able to give the right care to a child. Age is a number but let me tell u high school love comes an go .... Don't make yourself have a harder life by having a child or having sex before your ready to support yourself and a child And at 19 I wouldn't trade the happy feeling of being called mommy even if it took me ruining my relationship with my mother when I took custody of my sister ... And if your trying for a child just for those silly tv shows like 16 and pregnant or teen mom don't ruin your life for the chance of 10 minutes in the spot light
