The whole blog post is ENTIRELY JUST for getting my thoughts down on the page so don't even think about this.
But does anyone else low-key really freak out when they actually really think about having kids in the future? N
Not in the way of thinking like 'what if I don't like them? What if I won't be a good parent? Do I even want children? I don't want children but everyone else wants me to have them!' while those are all totally understandable worries I feel like I see no one else thinking my particular thoughts about this.
Should I really be letting another child grow up in a world like this? A world that is so utterly trash that people hate other for such small things like where they were born and what the colour of their skin is, or the deity they worship, or who they like to love. Should I really bring another person into such a hateful world where harming, torturing, slitting the throats of animals for food is seen as ok and normal? Should I really bring another child into such a polluted world?
I am a vegetarian (trying to be vegan) and do I really want to bring a child into the world who will be made fun of and mocked for wanting to be kind to animals, and for being taught that others should be kind to animals too? Do I really want to bring my kid into a world where 93% of animal testing is useless yet is one anyway because people get payed to breed beagles and rabbits and rats and mice?
Do I really want to bring a child into the world where 97% of women and girls have been sexually assaulted?
Would that be a morally ok thing to do? Would I be a bad person for doing that? Because also since the world is so overpopulated would that be irresponsible of me?
I dunno, and I don't really have to think about this for a long time: I'm only 16, but still.

wow.. I think abt this so often it's weird. I feel i’d be an awesome parent, it's just i’m so conflicted on adopting too! hopefully if I ever do, they are raised by a whole village type-thing

i totally know what you mean and lol i dont have hope that the world will get better--- and if it does i wont be alive to see it and i dont want my kids to be living in the world if it doesnt get better-- im adopted and for me is an option to adopt because pregnancy changes a lot of our bodies and because i feel like everyone deserves to live surrounded by people who really love them doesnt matter if there's blood connection or not...

OMFG I THINK A LOT ABOUT IT
Hear me out:
That's why I'm convinced of not give birth in the future but I will definitely adopt kids. I don't see the point of bringing another people to world but I would really like to help kids there are already needing parents (that's my personal opinion and if you want to have biological children that's totally fine).
I study about respectful and positive education (science studies and proof about the way we raise children), we can talk about references if you would like to. But basically there are ways to respectfully teach kids how to defend themselves and many other cooler stuff lol.
We can talk more about it here or in private if you want to cause I love this topic.
OMG YES, I would love to talk about that and see your refs! That'd be so interesting!
