Why don't we have children when our bodies are able to produce them?

Like we are able to have children at like 11 or 12 why don't we like if we are given the power to why not use it until we are older it doesn't make sense to me..

Human babies take twenty of your years to care for and educate and at your age, you don't have ANY of the wisdom or knowledge a baby needs to grow into a balanced person. You also need to have a reliable income around $30,000 a year to care for yourself and the baby - a hurdle that is completely beyond your ability at this stage. The world is overpopulated NOW - don't add any more unwanted children to the heap unless you are mature, self-sufficient financially and socially - and are living in a stable relationship that can be a model to your child. That wouldn't be fair on either you or your baby.

But like if we never said no to having children at such a young age they would be at a little mature and understand what the consequences are so i just don't understand why we just decided no children until your older.

That's enough nonsense!! If you want to reproduce like an animal, then Society will treat you as an animal. Your partner in crime will be prosecuted for sexually violating a minor and possibly even end up in jail. What you are proposing will ruin your WHOLE LIFE, turning you into a drudge with nothing but tears and regrets. Even your child will hate you for giving them such a terrible start in life. Cut the cr*p and grow UP before you have the moral and ethical (not to mention LEGAL) right to bring children into the world

Although you can make babies at that age the body is still developing so its not the same as a grown woman and your young immature and in school no money so the situation is not good for you to have one

Listen, hun. A period does not a fully mature female body make. Baby boys have erections as infants, do you think they are ready for sex? A body cannot fully mature over night, it has steps and takes time.

Yes, yes they do. But I'll ask you an honest question....what was the most mature thought that ran through your head that year? Our culture has changed so much based on necessity. Like koichan said: all kids knew was working, making babies, and the Bible. It was the way they had to live. Sperm or no sperm, you show me a 12 year old boy that looks like a man and not like an awkward bag of spare parts and I MIGHT change my mind. Again, the body doesn't mature/develope all at once. It takes time. The brain isn't even fully developed until 25! ....which would explain all the stupid stuff I pulled in my early twenties! ^_^

but people back in time used to raise kids while they were still young
Report as
Yes, and they were adults and worked like adults and had adult responsibility at the age of 11 or 12. They did not play, they worked hard in the fields, in the home, and whatever job they were indentured to. The older kids raised the younger ones and so having their own wasn't really that different. They also died at a much younger age, around 40 I believe was the life expectancy of the pioneers. Things are just so very different, humans are allowed to be children for so much longer now that it's wonderful, that is unless they get pregnant and have to give up their childhood to raise their babies.

In years past, life expectancy was much shorter and many children didn't live to adults. It was necessary to start younger, but many young ladies gave their lives to bear children. Today, it is no longer necessary to sacrifice our under developed ladies in order to further the human race. Today, our young ladies can finish out their childhood, and have better chances of surviving child birth by waiting until their bodies are fully ready. Please, wait.

Response to "thebranum"
FYI: I had two babies. Both of them were breech. One went to be with the Lord when she was two-and-a-half and the other one rebelled due to very early separation immediately after breastfeeding for a year...emotional scars, sometimes, never heal..."he" should have been capitalized.

You know, I don't think there's anything wrong with asking questions like this, it means lorddog is thinking and that's always a good thing. Let's encourage free communication rather than assuming he wants to reproduce and is being juvenile; we are here to help and how can we help if we don't listen, criticize, and condemn?

I could not have children at 11 or 12, plus it's very dangerous for a young girl to give birth. It's safer, and healthier for the baby to give birth at an older age.

YOU know that what you say is right, but there are no teenagers listening. They can only think through their gonads until they mature, then have to sort out the mess they have made of their life. You can't put an old head on young shoulders - all our kids have to make their own mistakes. If you try and interfere, they just become even more determined to prove their immaturity....

Having raised six children myself, I have asked this same question. Wouldn't it be best to have children while we are still young and strong, instead of older, being more tired and when physical problems start to set in.

The emotional aspect of child raising is as important as the physical aspect. What we do and what we say to our children, will affect them long after they leave home. Being older and wiser, can help in this regard.

Yes. But I bet you didn't have your first kid at 11 - this questioner has NO IDEA of the responsibilities and comittment that having babies involves. But YOU do, Mamatembo - which is why you are older and wiser.

Yes, yes! Omg, I was so self destructive all the way to 24, and I'm still trying to clean up my mess. Praise the lord that I did not reap the consequences of my actions and bring children into the world at that time. I am nauseous to think of what my beautiful babies would have had to endure with "that woman" as their mother. They have enough to deal with now as I am scarred and still healing :(

The Creator is in control and He knows what is getting ready to happen to this world. His anger is being unleashed on this immoral earth as it is becoming another Sodom and Gomorrah due to the blatant exposure. When people cannot have children they need to be content and have faith that God is keeping them from tremendous heartache.
