but I'm not the only one.
This needs to be said... or rather, I need to say it.
I am glad to not have a child at the age of 22, and I feel like congratulating everyone else who doesn't, not those who do. I'm not saying that a baby fucks up your life at this age, but... I mean, if you aren't ready to raise a child, the fact that you accidentally ended up with one is not something I consider a miracle (more like a curse) and certainly not something to congratulated (more like... sympathized.)
Listen up. If you don't know how you're going to raise a child, you have no business having one. You need to make sure you can support a child financial, emotionally, etc and preferably PLAN on having one, before I'm going to throw out a congrats.
I'm not saying you have to be married. I'm not even saying you have to be in a relationship (Cutty from House, anyone?) I AM saying you have to be: Financially stable, have the time to commit to raising the child, MATURE enough to have one.
Just because you got unlucky enough to be pregnant doesn't mean you have to pretend to be happy about it so that people will think it was intentional. I mean, WHY would you want people to think it was intentional!? If we all know you're not ready for it, making us think it was on purpose just makes you look like a complete moron!
I have to get ready for class. Me and my empty womb have a presentation to prepare for.
