As funny as that title is, its a very serious matter. Day after day after day, children are having children. And of course this is a typical topic, I mean look at tv, there are plenty of shows about it. But why? why? why? why?What is the problem? Is it the parents? Is it education? What is it? Its sad when the majoirty of your high school graduation class has had a baby, has had two babies, or is currently pregnant.
I used to want to have a child like right after I graduated from college, so around 23 24. BUT the more im seeing these kids having kids, it makes me wanna wait, and wait and wait. As Im getting older Im realizing how much you have to think about when having a child. I have huge dreams how will I get there if I have a child on my hip. Adults have a hard time raising children let alone a teen, when your mind isnt fully developed yet.
Do they not have dreams? Do they not wanna have fun at a young age before they take on bigger responsibilities? Do they not think they are capable of changing the world for the better? Do they not think about how you will need others to help you support this child, money wise? Do you not want an education? Do they want to lock down their "baby daddy"? Let me guess he told you he loves you? (Future blog!) There are soooo many things to think about and thats only a few questions there are plenty more.
And its not getting better, its getting worse, and I feel like its becoming such a norm and no one thinks twice about it, its just like yea she having a baby, AW OK....no no no no no. Its not OKAY!
Because of this I swear I wanna lock my child up (when I have one down the line) and never let her out, lbs. Like at 20 going on 21 I cant even imagine pushing a big ass baby out my little hole and taking care of it 24 7. When I watch my neices and nephew, they are a handful especially the young ones, im like when are your parents coming? lol I love them to death but thinking about taking that on all day everyday, having to financially support them. Hell I can hardly support my self. And what gets me too is the fact that you have full responsibilty over another human being. You say when what how... Im just going to end it here because i can go on forever and a day about this...maybe because I have really matured and know what I want to do with my future and feel like I know the smart way to go about having it all...the family, the money, the happiness, not struggle.
I still remember a time I went to the nail shop and I was waiting to get my eyebrows done and I was sitting next to a young girl and a baby, a few mins later another girl came in with a little girl and they knew each other and began to talk. Finally the little girl that was maybe around 5 or 6 asked the girl sitting next to me if that was her baby and the older girl that she came the (I believe it was her sister) sneered at her and was like..."what you think? Of course it is." And was basically saying that it was obvious that that baby was her child when the girl was clearly young as hell and shouldnt be having kids, but she basically just sent a message to this 5 or 6 year old that its normal and okay to have a child at that age smh.... (Hope you were able to follow that short story) But that incident always stuck with me like if its like that now then what will happen in the next few years...
Well goodluck to those young mothers, and young future mothers, and kudos to all of my best friends and close friends for making it this far without kids.
