Why should I have children - a perspective from a teenager

 

I find it is usually women in their mid 30's who are discussing and exploring the issue of whether to have children or not.  But I found this blog post on the UK feminist site the Fword from a teenager discussing her perspective on not wanting biological children of her own. She talks about adoption as her preferred option if she does decide to have children. Some people might argue that it is too early for a teenager to know what she wants.  I think that it's good that young women are discussing and thinking about their options in advance - if they change, that's OK but how great that someone that young is thinking forward and questioning accepted norms.
