Subject: Support young friends desire to have a baby?

Do you support a 16 year old girl who is your closest friend to have a baby in order to get back at her mother? My answer is definitely no. There are better ways to address this issue other than bringing in an innocent baby who will not receive the proper care and attention a baby needs. The best thing to tell a friend who is in this situation is communicate with your mother. Your friend needs to confront her mother and have a heart to heart talk about the issue. I understand a mom may seem harsh and cruel sometimes, but it is because she loves her child, not because she likes to see her child suffer. Mothers just want their children to succeed and be happy in life; they don’t actually want their children to be perfect.
I have the same issue with my mother sometimes. My mother puts a lot of restrictions on me and is constantly surveying everything I do. She wants me to get straight A’s, she doesn’t want me to date, and she wants to be everywhere I am. My first reaction to my mother is also retaliation, but then I realize her intentions as a mother. It is maternal instinct to protect your child and want the best for your child.
Explain to your friend her mother does not want her to be perfect. My advice to a close friend would be talk to your mother and tell her what is on your mind. Having a baby would not solve the problem but only make it worse.
