Teens :Does anyone else think it's ridiculous. . .?

I think it's ok to think about it, but not actually have kids at that age. Most of the questions on here are about pregnancy or "I think I might be pregnant" and it just kinda shocks me. Like really? People have no responsibility these days.

So, you probably also think little kids playing house and having fake weddings wearing their parents' ties and hats is also ridiculous because at age five they cannot understand the hard work that it takes to raise another five year old. You must sit there, with little girls playing with their baby dolls thinking "sister, you are soooo don't get it", with all the wisdom and authority of a 16 year old.

Its called role playing. Teenagers do it less often than kids, but we still benefit from it. People actually draw positive things from thinking about the future and considering options outloud, with others.

Honestly i talked about having kids with my boyfriend when i was 17. Obviously it wasnt talk of planning to have kids, it was talk about the future. Its always good to know where your partner stands with having children, especially if an unplanned pregnancy happens. There is nothing wrong with being open about it to your partner, because honestly there is no relationship if you cannot be open and honest with each other.

Yeah, I have friends like that. 1 girl I know had a boyfriend and they always talked about marriage. The next week they broke up. So you see 99.9999% of high school relationships turn into nothing at all. It doesn't hurt to talk about them, but you won't be with that person forever and if you do get pregnant by them you will break up.

What's wrong with talking to them about it? It's not like most teenagers are trying for a baby or even having sex. A relationship between a child and their patents should be an poem one, where they feel comfortable discussing these topics.

Why not? For all you know they could have been together for a couple years. Why not think of your future with the person you like, no matter how absurd it sounds? Now, acting on it is a whole different story
