I agree with you. For some people, having children at a young age is good for them, but for others it's a huge mistake. I got pregnant with my son at 18 and had him at 19, and he is the joy of my life. I am married to his father, and together we have our son, and a daughter from my husband's previous relationship. Somethings though, at a young age it's hard. I can't go to college like I wanted, my daughter has developmental delays and requireds a lot of extra help, she also has therapy I need to attend with her. I'm 21 and slowly working on my associates degree at an online university. Having a baby doesn't make life impossible, just harder. You can be a "normal" 21 year old. I don't go out all the time with friends, I've been out twice since my 21st birthday. But I wouldn't change it for anything. My children are my life. I love taking care of them, and we're planning another one. Remeber though, a baby isn't the answer to anything, except your longing for a baby. It may just be the wrong time for some of you. Sit back and relax, enjoy life. Stress can cause all sorts of problems. Good luck!
