I was very close to just stop taking the pill and leaving things up to chance.
Luckily, i did not. However cute a little baby may be, however heartwarming to have a young child, it _DOES_ have a serious impact on your life across all aspects.
You have a much harder time studying/learning a job, if you already did or do not plan to study, it's a lot harder to actually FIND a job since you are not very flexible with times, even if you do, it's hard to keep social life up to par(you simply don't HAVE the same time and carelessness to go out with friends/meet at their place for stuff), also holidays(say you wanted to cross the desert, go diving, ...), the flat(1 room-apartments won't work long.), your partner(or whoever will provide financial income), etc....a child touches ALL aspects of your life, and many of them not in a good way. Don't get me wrong, it's something wonderful, but i believe it's better to first enjoy the life that you cannot have the same way with a small child, THEN have children.
I'm 17 and I seriously want to have a child.
