I know this thread has probably been done to death but I heard something the other day and I had an urge to share it with you.
Because there was a silence and I felt like making conversation I asked my friend about her older sister that left last year, how she was doing and stuff eg: Is she in college. She said that her sister was going to college later on this year but now can't because she is having a child in May. This girl is probably 16 or 17 years old. I'm pretty sure it was not planned...
(If the child was planned)
I got to thinking, why do people have children at that age? they are throwing their lives away, instead of going out to college and uni they are at home looking after a child. I mean, maybe they want a child young so that when they grow up they can then have a life.
Anyone else here who had a child at that age, or are at that age and want to share their opinion? I'm not slating people who do have kids really young, I just want to understand why.
Girls who purposefully have babies young are trying to do one of two things (sometimes both):
A: they want the "unconditional love" a baby will give them. However, they don't consider that the kid will probably resent them in the future, especially if the financial situation was bad growing up.
B: they want to trap their boyfriends. Which is a b**** move.
either way, there's something not mentally right.
I want kids, but NOT right now.
Yah, s*** happens, but doing that s*** on purpose is messed up.
