What is the wisest age to have a child?

[keezy.]

Thank you! Finally someone can look beyond their wallet and see that you should only have children when you find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with!

that's true. but i think u shouldn't be too yongue, but i think when ur like 30 u'll be too old. so i'd say about 25-27 (something like that)

Well I say after you've had your education and you have a job. A job that can support you and your Significant other plus however many children. If both parents get a job then, that's great. But that has other things effecting the whole child raising bit.

I say be prepared, and however long it takes is when it is most wise.

(On another note, there are those that actually 'Want to' raise children, and have a family[Of own blood]. Like me. So whatever responsibility it takes, you'd better be ready for it.)

I'm aware of what the ASVAB is, and to be honest my friend who didn't even complete high school (rather he opted for the GED) did very well on it.

But your theory that school isn't necessary is bull. You need either a high school diploma or GED to be admitted into the military, which is about the best route you can go, as far as salary is concerned, without proceeding into higher education. The majority of those who do not have some form of college education end up working in minimum wage or factory jobs, with very little upward mobility. If money is so important to you, so is education.

And how can you say that elementary school is "a whole lot of unneeded repetition of subjects"? Are you telling me that learning how to add/subtract and mulitply/divide is "a whole lot of unneeded repetition of subjects"? How about learning basic English mechanics and spelling? Or why NOT to eat paste? It is a widely accepted fact that elementary school is where you learn the most useful knowledge as far as school careers go.

And further, your arguement basically went around in circles and no where at all. I didn't know you were a politician! You were essentially dissing school, then went on to say that it does a significant portion of parenting. How does that even support your arguement?

I suggest you take some debate classes before you sell yourself to the military.

and its very annoying my good sir when you type like this
why would you do this
why would you separate sentences with lines instead of...periods
you dont like punctuation
well that much is obvious by your posts
you also dont like capilizing
take some more english classes while your at it and then well discuss how your supposedly wiser than those older than you

you've never dealt with money problems have you?

have i not said that you shouldn't take your children out of school?
does saying that its very inefficient make you understand better?
elementary schools spends years with a whole lot of unnecessary reinforcement with subjects that are absorbed the easiest out of everything learned in school.
also try to not make mistakes while criticizing me about the way i type and my punctuation i.e. "capilizing" as well as "dont"
also on the topic of how unnecessary school can get is that we spend a year on basic math and then later on we spend a week on a formula and its applications
if you don't see an issue there then please stop arguing now, for your input means nothing to me then
also mechanics and spelling, i didn't learn how to spell from school, i learned from the books i read, as well as comprehension, and i hate grammar, its crap, iv never been able to learn it because its rules are the most pointless information ever! but in high school i spend very little time on higher math so as to only get a taste of it, but ill bet in college I'd spend a lot more time applying that math

I think at least late 20's to mid 30's. You should be wisened around this age. You'll have really settled with a career. I mean, if, I certainly mean if, I have a child, I's make sure I was ready for it. The future seemed good, a nice, nice town. Y'know, that stuff.

my mother got pregnat with me when she was 19 and had me when she was 20. i think you should be able to support a child finacially before you try to have one. i think that the age people are having children now are too young but i dont wanna be the oldest mother in the book of records either. you know? i think age 23-26 is the wisest.

between 16-70

16 is waay too young to have a child. That would mean the person is still in high school.

i know that but it's perfectly fine for a 16 year old to have a baby
but having a baby at that age has it's consequences

Then it's not perfectly fine to have a baby at that age. Don't start contradicting yourself again.

.........it's not fine if you're 16.. but it's not all the time having a baby at 16 means death, i didn't meant it that way

It's not normal having a baby at that age. You know what? I'm not going to argue with you, because nothing I say is going to penetrate that thick skull of yours. Let the charts do the talking.

Just because people support your illogical opinion doesn't mean that it's right. Plus, she's 13. What does she know about child birth?

You're missing the entire point of the thread. WHAT IS THE WISEST AGE TO HAVE A CHILD, not WHEN DO MOST PEOPLE HAVE CHILDREN.

ummm duh, and i said it's wise for a 16 years old to have baby

Wise for a 16 year old to have a baby? Are you insane? What is good about a 16 year old having a baby?!

Let's put it like this. I had a friend at my school who had sex with his girlfriend, and she got pregnant. They would not allow her to have an abortion, and she didn't want to give it away for adoption. So she had to drop out of school in order to take care of it.

MEANWHILE, the friend of mine had to go get a job to support his accidental family. He also had to drop out of school to do so. So they completely missed out on a college education and a possible career doing what they wanted, just because they had a child.

dude im not trying to disagree or agree with you
im just saying that, a 16 year old having a baby doesn't means she's going to die.. or lose the baby, or die with the baby
they have the body to handle it, so therefore it's sort of wise for them
to have the baby!
i never said a 16 year old having a baby isn't bad.. cause it is.. it destroys their future and their lifetime of fun

Here's the problem. You're misusing the word "wise", it's making it sound like you think it's a good idea.

if im making it sound like it's a good thing.. then so be it, cause it's a bad thing ..k?
