what is with all these people my age getting married and/or having babies?
honestly i think i'm as mature as the next kid but i would NOT be ready to start a family at my age. i know people have done it for centuries but goodness how hard is it to start a life with someone at this age. you're still trying to figure out who you are and now you ahve to figure out how to be who you are and how to be who they need and to mesh your lives together and be a wife or a mother...and i just think how can they do it?
some people have to grow up fast, unexpected pregnancy- it happens, adn i get that but holy cow, how do you decide to keep it? i would be scared out of my mind, i wouldn't be ready to be responsible for a persons life, and i'm not talking about the baby part- i think i can hold a crying infant without dropping it- i'm talking about being a mother, an actual mother. babies grow up, your child isn't always a baby soon it's 2 and then 7 and then 14 and what do you do? you're hardly an adult and now you have to be a parent- whoolly cow mama!
and ok so let's just say it's not an accedent, let's say you're married- what the heck, you're still in your teens, i mean honestly i know that people did it all the time but i feel like i'm too young to be graduated from high school, and WAY to immature to go away to college, but to think of getting married, starting a family, why that just makes me shake. heck i'm so afriad of meeting the right man right now, i've been so worried all this time about getting mixed up with the wrong ones that now i'm like blindsided at the thought of finding the right one- sure it's great, and love must be wonderful but do you know how hard it is to be with a person forever? divorce isn't in my plans baby girl, and learning to live with a person day and night for the rest of my life- making his sandwich for work and buying a house, having a family, it seems like there should be a preperatory class of some sort, cuz i know i'm gonna screw it up.
sure marriage sounds like fun when you think of finding that one person you could spend forever with and a wedding and a honeymoon but think of 30 years of marriage and all the mistakes and the issues you have to deal with day to day, the mortgage and disciplining the children right and making sure the dishes get done every night, it's just like how do people do it? how do people MY AGE expect to handle all that...i know i couldn't (which is probably why God hasn't landed me the right one yet...cuz He knows i'd flip out lol)
so basically i would like to congratulate all of you teen mothers and wives...you must be truly strong-changedfish
