Not to Brittany Spears little sister!

apparently not. I think it is a travesty.

Should be but I guess not if you are famous.

Yes. Any moron can be a mother or father but maturity and experience make a parent. My opinion is money can't cover anything. Money will buy a nanny to change diapers but a kid needs a parent to love and care for them. Young teens some times romanticize pregnancy and parenting. Children are not dolls and life is not a game. No amount of money makes up for poor parenting in fact it can make things even worse. Children having children is just a bad situation no matter what the bank account.

Yes, it's emotional, not only financial.

i think it depends on how mature you are.. i dont think experience make a parent like the person below my answer said...because none of us was born with experience.. so i think it depends on you

um yeah you havent learned enough about life to be a good parent. And if you even have to ask that question your not ready to be a parent. It's not even your money it's your parents money and what if they kick you out and cut you off like it happens to countless others, what would you do then??

Very much so. Hun I had my first at sixteen and can't even begin to tell you what I missed out on. Because raising a baby is more important than anything else going on in your life right now. You may not see it now. But it is going to get hard and fast. you will be forced to grow up and lose alot of friends. But on the other hand when your baby is born is the most beautiful thing in the world that you will ever experience. So no money makes no difference. What makes a difference is how active you are in this babies life.

Pregnancy forces a teen mother to mature faster than she should. You miss out on important life experiences that are supposed to happen at that age (social life, planning a future, etc).

unfortunately being sixteen and having money, when most people without a diploma can only make minimum wage is kind of a fairy tale situation. im 18 and only make minimum wage because im still in highschool. having the money to support it with the way our culture supports child labor laws is difficult enough but say that the kid/teen(16year old) did have enough money(around $200,000) they still need to live out the rest of their teen years to figure out who they are and what they truly want in life. their partner will not stay with them unless they are VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY lucky and most times half way through the pregnancy the couple splits up. you should be married and experience that situation before you have a child and plan it out. or at least in a stable relationship for a few years. yes it is an issue because it is ignorance that says money can buy the child everything it needs but the truth is it will need love and constant attention, someone to talk to all of the time and interaction from lots of different areas, not just toys clothes food daycare and nanny's. there's a certain narrowminded ness that comes with having money all of your life. or alot of money and being able to do whatever you want. my friend who got preg at 16 and just had her baby girl in december at 17 is struggling but her kid is getting everything it needs. from the state and the job the father has, the mother, my friend is still in schooling to become a cosmotologist and it is hard. but her mom is raising like 4 other kids, they are foster kids, and let me tell you without all of the money you or whoever you're talking about that's sixteen and rich is, the kids in that household are doing pretty darn good for not having alot of money, but just having family and the closeness that comes with knowing what you are supposed to do in different situations and being a parent. its really freaking hard no matter what amount of money you have you will always miss out on something. dont take it for granted.

Yes, because it is not age or money but maturity both physical and metal that should be of concern. It should be the prospective mother's concern about how she will cope with another human being dependent on her for the next 18 or so years. Not whether she has overabundant financial resources. (Did you like how I worded that?)

It depends on your experience with children. For example I'm only 15 years old, but if I wanted to have a baby right now, it wouldn't be a big deal. I mean I'm not rich, but I'm not poor. I've spent my life taking care of and raising kids. For Pete's Sake I started working in a nursery at 11. If you are absolutely sure that you are able to provide a stable home then I don't think it would be horrible...as long as you stay in school of course.

Money only takes care of one thing. There is alot more too it than that. I have 2 children, wonderful boys, smart and intelligent. Nurturing a child goes beyond your knowledge at such an early age. And I dont think it is fair to a child to have someone else such as a nanny raise them do you? My brother $ sister in law have lots of money however our entire family feels sorry for them. Money only buys STUFF! Not love and growth, theres alot of things to do w your life first...go live loud!!!

yes

Wow. You're an idiot. Being rich has nothing to do with being a good parent.

although having money would take a good amount of stress off of you, it does you no good if you arent ready to be a parent. Rich at 16 or Rich at 40, doesnt matter.

if you have to ask this question you are NOT anywhere near ready to become a parent. being a parent doesnt have to do with money. it may require money. but for the most part being a parent you have to: ~be loving ~be supportive ~be there for the kid when she/he needs you ~be mature ~able to take care of yourself and your child without help from other people other than maybe your husband/wife-girlfriend/boyfriend ~able to hold a job so you can afford to pay the bills ~able to be selfless when the child needs you the most ~and most of all willing to sacrafice what you want for what is best for your child no matter what it is you want you need to know the child's needs are way more important than your wants

No but having a baby at age 16 is a huge issue and money cant buy you out of the mess you are in. Do you really believe that at 16 you are capable of being a good mom to another individualwho is totally dependant upon you for food, clothing, love, and a half way decent life? Doubtful, I was a young mom and can tell you that my parents were very involved in raising my daughter andthank goodness I had them to help me. If I had to do it over again, I would do things differently. Because of the experience of being a single mom, I didnt want any more kids and now at age 53 I regret that my daughter and grandchildren live 2000 miles away. Goood luck

That only takes care of the money issue :)

Nope rich people make the worst parents and role models!

Money wont make you a good parent. Knowledge (education), experience in the world, and respect for life will.

Yes. Especially if you are famous. People lead by example more than they lead in any other mannner.

I work in Labor and Delivery and I will just say there are way too many kids having kids. Most of them their parents take care of the kids or they get adopted. I'm 25 and still have no kids. Don't want them for a few years. I feel I'm mature enough, but I don't want to give up my life 24-7 for the rest of my life yet. Money is good and needed, but love and nurturing is what kids need. Back in the day it was okay to have them young, but now...we have college and careers and life to look forward to. Make something of yourself first, then when the time comes it will. I want my kids someday to say look what my mom did. She saves lives, she's smart, she does everything, she's supermom! That's the way I looked at my mom and today I respect her and she's my best friend. Just wait a few more years and really get your life going...then you'll know when the time's right. Good Luck!

Yes it's still an issue. As an adult it's hard to mentally prepare ourselves to have kids. So at 16 your not mature enough regardless if your rich. You'r a child yourself and you haven't lived life.

If you're sixteen and the male is over 18, yes that can be a big issue, even if you're rich.

We are documentarians and we are currently casting an upcoming series focusing on young women during their pregnancy. As we realize that this is a sensitive subject that many of our young women are experiencing, our goal is to show what pregnant women, from varying backgrounds, are experiencing in their everyday lives. We would like to feature teens from 15-17 in their first trimester. From morning sickness to mood swings, and to even the day of the baby's arrival, we would like you to let us document this exciting, life changing event. This show will allow young women to share their story in their own voice. As time is of the essence, please email us ASAP at teendoucumentary@gmail.com Please include what state you are in, your contact details, a picture and why you would want to take part in the series.

i've answered one like this. not only emotionally will your teenage life be sucked away..your body will go through changes too fast and could hurt your body..even to the point of death. the baby could end up deformed, mentally challenged, etc. because of growing in a not yet matured body..and what then? money cant fix a chromosome messed up baby. teenage pregnancy is retarded. getting pregnant is not good for young girls and if you're having sex before marriage, you're likely to get a STD or worse. you might as well just wait till you're married. duh.

Of course! your still young hun, you still have so much you want and need to experience just because you'll be able to afford diapers, food, and clothes doesn't mean that it's OK to give up your adolescents.

Rich or not you still have a 16 year old with a baby. A child with a child and money doesn't change that fact.

YES IT IS BUT YOU BEING RICH DOESNT MATTER NOW IF YOU WHERE RICH AND FAMOUS NO BODY WOULD GIVE A SHIT BUT AS FAR AS TODAYS SOCIETY IS CONCERED IF YOUR NOT FAMOUS YOUR JUST LIKE EVERY BODY BODY ELSE JUST WITH A LIL BIT OF GLIITER AND GOLD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~YA DIGG ME BABY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

um HELL YEA ur still going to be a mom there is no amount of money that can change that, its not like money makes ur respnsibilities go away

Healthier children are born to older parents.

Yes because I'm betting that the 16 year old THINKS she's rich when really her family or parents are rich. She's as broke as shit, how has she made any money? She hasn't unless she's been working full time since she was like 8, or unless she's a hooker. Which maybe explains why she's pregnant.

Age is a huge issue...and so are your morals. As well as your mature take on life. Money doesn't solve everything....nor does it make everything go away. And I bet it's not YOUR money...it probably came from your parents who have worked hard...which still comes back to your morals. Why would you do that to your parents?

Yes. That is such a stupid question. Age is age regardless of the ecnomic status. People need to get over their money. It is the root of all evil

No, just pay someone to take care of it.
