Of course! Kids are assholes! I'm female and I don't really want any either. They all are incompetent jerks. Lol, just trust me. It's normal!

If I had a dollar for everytime this question was asked...
Honestly, I'm confident that if more women knew about their options as far as birth control goes, there probably wouldn't be so many Mothers in MY personal social circle at least...

Oh, absolutely!
To give you some perspective, I'm 43 and have never felt a strong urge to have kids. Sometimes you just know that isn't the road you want to take, and there is nothing wrong with that. Don't believe people who say that "someday, you'll change your mind." You're free to change your mind if you want to, but it's totally fine if you never do -- even if it means you never change a diaper in your life. :)

But isn't that the problem? People don't want kids but they still end up having them.

If I don't want to have kids, then it's probably certain it'll remain that way until my death. In fact, I plan to get a tubal in my 20s so there won't be any kids for sure (and I'm going to be 20 this year so after my B-day it'll only be a matter of time).

It was more of a generalization. I know plenty of people who make the effort to prevent these things from happening. But many more don't want the kids they do have and that makes for a terrible society.

It's sad how many get pressured into having kids and the children end up suffering for their birthparents' mistakes. People should only have kids if they truly want them, not out of societal influence or spur of the moment phases. If people truly want to become parents, they need to think about it long and hard before they embark on that journey since parenthood is for life, not 18 years. Parenthood is long, trying, hard, expensive, and includes alot of stress and potential heartbreak. Sure there can be alot of good moments to it, but cons often outweigh the pros. And with overpopulation and problems associated to overpopulation occuring everywhere across the world, it'd be best if alot less people had kids. There's also millions of homeless, parentless kids in foster care and orphanages across the globe.

That is your choice. You should not feel obligated to have one. Considering all the overpopulation and homeless/parentless children in the world I don't think its much harm.

Yes, society often pushes people into child rearing for religious reasons as well as the idea of "this is what you do with life" but there is a lack of support from society as well. And you can't ignore the issue of single parents. But you can't tell someone not to have kids. People are quick to judge others, but refuse to offer help as if it isn't their problem.
"It takes a village" isn't just a cliche statement. If we want a better society, we need to treat each other better, this includes children.

I can't wait for the day I get the chance to start a family. I never used to want kids, but as I grew I realized it would be a joy to be able to have a child in my life.
