  • it's normal to want to have a kid-even at a younger age because it's part of your biological urges.

    however it is very critical you have a stable job/career first. Nowadays a good job requires a university or college education.

    with high-school you'll be stuck doing menial work or manual labor. Do you really want to raise a child while you're working in shitty, insecure jobs?

    be smart about this hun and don't get yourself into a lifelong trap. It takes about 20 years or more to raise a kid.

    also find a guy that will be there for you for the long-term, it's extremely difficult to raise a kid on your own. I've seen it with my close relatives-the struggle is not worth it.

    If you don't find a good job and/or husband, then don't bother. Bringing a kid into the world when you're not ready to is the same as child abuse imo.

    Also don't ever count on the income of a man. Most men will become your overlord and make your life a living hell. Be dependent on no one but yourself.
