    Nooo. Don't do it. I'm sorry, but it's honestly really selfish to have a child just because YOU want to "fill an empty hole" in your heart. The child needs plenty of love, attention, and care. And at your age you can't care for it. If you're 16, I assume you have not even graduated high school (and won't for another 1-2 years) and are still financially dependent on your parents. If you can't even support yourself, you obviously can't support a child. And it is SO expensive to raise a child. At your age, the best job you can really get is some part-time (since you have to go to school you can't even really work full-time), minimum-wage job, which is not enough to adequately support a baby. Please, wait until you've graduated from college, have a degree, and have a stable, well-paying job. And also wait until you are in a stable relationship! The child ideally should have a father in his/her life. Not some guy who "sweet talks" you into sex and then will likely run off and abandon you and the baby.

    Having a child to try and fill an empty hole in your heart is actually a really selfish thing to do.

    Babies are hard work. Children are hard work. Every day - sacrifice. Your life becomes devoted to them. There will be no time for feeling sorry for yourself as you currently do. You come second all the time when you have a child.

    Never mind that any good parent -wants- to be able to provide as best as they can for their child. Do you honestly feel you could provide well at 16 with some adult who will most likely end up in jail for statutory rape?

    Wait. If you feel bad for whatever reason get some therapy or something. Talk to people, let people in so you don't feel so alone.

    Find someone who you love and want to spend you life with.

    Have a child when you can provide fully.

    If you think your life is crappy now, Try to imagine it with morning sickness, extra weight to carry around during the hot summer, and another mouth to feed. And don't imagine for an instant that Daddy will contribute. You'll be lucky if you see him again.

    Just in case I was being too subtle, the answer is, "Don't do it."

    No you should not. If an adult is trying to have sex with you that is all they want. You are young and can not take care of a child on your own and that's exactly what you will be doing if you have sex with an ADULT and get pregnant he will leave and he will go to jail because your parents would not be very happy about that

    Right, because having a baby always fixes problems. LOL

    What should you do? Find something other than a baby that brings you happiness. Get a hobby. Or a therapist.
