Is this normal for a 16-year-old girl?
I think I want a baby?! What the hell is this?! I'm so freaked out!!! I'm SIXTEEN! I can't take care of a baby! I know I can't! I can't afford to have or adopt a baby! I have to worry about school and marching band and getting ready for my life! What the heck?!
I've always loved everything cute like kittens and puppies and little kids and babies. I love looking at and playing with other peoples' pets and I love babysitting babies and little kids. Everyone tells me I'm really good and the kids love me. Whenever I see or take care of someone else's baby or toddler I think "I want one." That's fricking insane!!! What's happening to me?
I know that having a baby is a TON of work and a GIGANTIC responsibility and I'm definitely nowhere near ready for that physically, mentally, financially, or emotionally. I definitely do not want to have sex with ANYONE in the entire universe for a very long time, even my caring, adorable boyfriend. I definitely do not have enough money to adopt let alone care for a developing human being. I know all these things and I keep repeating them to myself whenever I start thinking about babies. And I still feel like I need one.
Is this a hormone thing? This has to be a hormone thing. This better be a freaking hormone thing. Please help me! I'm freaking out! This is really scaring me and I don't know what to do about it. Thank you for your help and time.
