I did when I was younger. In fact, I still do. I'm 22. I knew I wasn't ready for a baby before now. Though, now I'm really hoping I can conceive this year!! I even seem young to some people, so 15 is REALLY young. But, I think being a parent is an important thing in anyone's life.
Yeah, they may be time-suckers. But I understand. It's yours. It's this little beautiful things that's all yours to care for.
But yes, wait still.
Don't listen to anyone who thinks you're crazy though!!

They cry and are needy and take up all of your free time, and grow up, and if you don't have the ability to give the child a better upbringing then you received from your home then there is no telling how that kid might turn out. What you need to consider is that a baby is a person that will grow up. You don't have enough life experience to give that kid the chance it needs to be a successful grown up.I suggest you try to volunteer at a preschool or nursery so that you can get your "baby fix" and you try to wait as long as you can to have kids. I had two kids by the time I was 20 and I missed out on a lot more than clubbing and drinking. I work a modest job and barely make ends meet for my wife and our now three children. If we would have waited we could have gone to college and maybe life wouldn't be so difficult nowadays. I wouldn't trade my family for anything in the world but I will always wonder "what if".You only get one life and one chance to get it right. And looking back it passes by in the blink of an eye. You will be out of college before you know it, ready to take on the world.

I just answered another question like this for someone. I'll say the same thing, more or less. You're not stupid for wanting a baby, since it's perfectly natural. And you're very sensible to want to wait. A baby in the UK costs £10,000 a year on average until it's 18. You do lose a huge amount of your social life, which is hard when you're young. I'm not saying young people haven't done it. Of course they have. But it's very difficult to raise a baby if you don't have anything to call upon, such as grades to get a decent job.
Yes, wait. You want to meet the right guy, so take your time doing that. And you need to be in a good financial position too. There is no rush at this time.
