Is this normal?

I graduated in 2010. I'm 22 and a lot of my peers are 21 & 22 years old. I came from a pretty small city in the state of Washington and almost EVERY girl I graduated with has at least one kid now. Some of them have 5 and 6 year olds and one has 5 kids already!!!! I'm literally one of the only girls I graduated with that has never been pregnant or had a baby.

I just feel like this can't be true everywhere. Is this really the norm these days? My walking class had 500 kids and probably 100 girls have babies by now and more than one.

    It's true and it's sad. I had a baby when I was 19 and I'm 25 now. I see some of the (very few girls) that still don't have kids and think how smart they was. Some go to college states away, others travel, go on spring break, but all of them are living it up happily for them. Unlike me I got pregnant twice by my serial cheater husband and I'm about to be a single mom of a 3&5 yr old struggling to get my degree. I wish I could have fulfilled half of my dreams and had half the fun I could have had. Take that pill like it's the only thing keeping you alive! And live it up these years are short and they go fast :-)
