Being a parent

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a parent? Not just any parent, but one of a teenager. Does it put you off wanting kids of your own?

yeah.

i want to have kids and raise them. i'm excited.

It doesn't discourage me from having kids later on, but I certainly wouldn't want to go through that as a teen.

I would have kids right this second if i could ,ive wanted them for the past few years ,i use to always look after my nephew who died a few years back all the time , so i kinda know what its like to be like a parent

Yeah...it would be really stressful.

that's why I will never have kids. apart from the fact that I don't want something growing inside me.

i would want to be a parent. Not as a teenager though.

Guys I think your getting what I am asking wrong. The question was does the thought of being a parent of teenage kids, put you off thinking of becoming a parent when your older.

You know I am not good with words, and I am sorry if I confused you all.

No, the thought of having a kid and watching it grow up to be a teen like I once was, fascinates me. I mean, I'm not saying it wouldn't be a challenge, but it would deffinetly be an experience.

sometimes i do think that i wouldn't wanna put a child through all the pain that i have gone through.

Since the topic has been explained by Kyle. This sounds a bit like a debate.

I have always wanted children even when they are teens.

Your kid might not go through the same pain as you Eric. You never know.
