How old do you think it is to have a child?

I see that nowadays many young people of about 16 years of age become pregnant by their own decision. I think it is not a suitable age for it, because they are people with an unstable future and who are not yet mature enough to take care of themselves and another person. What do you think about this?

Raising a child requires two committed parents. I can't think of too many sixteen year olds that would be willing to be totally committed. That said. I married at 19 and had my first child at age 20. 41 years later I am still married to...and committed to the same man. The love of my life.

I agree with you and I think that you are a very lucky woman to have the love of your life by your side, few people say that to this day

Before you have a child you should be prepared for it physically and mentally...then you also need to have a good source of income. Age is just a number

It really depends on the person. There are people who are mature as early as that age and some who are 30 or more who aren't mature enough yet. So we can't really say unless we know them personally.

Maturity and responsibility in raising a child don't come with age.
