Are you scared to bring a child into this world?

Yes I have said this before. I would have concerns. It is a turbulent time, with the warmongerers and exponential increase in laws.

Most 16 year olds haven't taken any narcotics, and up to 30% of 20 year olds are still virgins.I don't like my generation at all, but lets not start piling problems on here.Rhazakna

I don't know what I want really. I acknowledge the profoundness of bringing life into existence but I also acknowledge my own suffering not only because I happen to be living in a hard place but also because the very notion of being a human being is making me so sad. Its those natural unavoidable things that I'm talking about: making something out of yourself, facing diseases and death, dealing with heartbreaks, coping with the death of a loved one, having to deal with tough decisions that will make you miserable for too long and the likes of them. I always ask myself if I had the choice right now to decide to exist or not to in the first place, what would my choice be? I find that idea of nothingness so relieving. Accordingly, how can I bring a life to existence?

Sounds like first world problem syndrome to me.

Or teenage angst. Or both.

And I would absolutely dispute your thesis.

There are times that I definitely am, yes. I used to always dream of being a parent someday. Now, though, I'm not entirely certain I'd want to do that anymore. More and more my trust and faith in people gradually disolves...

[QUOTE="SUD123456"]

[QUOTE="Rich3232"] Ah yes, a desperate attempt at rationalizing the constant suffering that we all experience on this planet. Fact is, for most of the people, the pain/suffering will outnumber the joys/happiness. Only reason I haven't really offed myself yet is because of a morbid curiosity for what will happen to me and because I don't have enough courage to do so. Rich3232

Define poverty like conditions.

Also, poorer people/nations always score higher on surveys of happiness. And by poorer, I do not mean the small % of the human population starving to death.

Recent Survey Example

No the world is actually better than it has ever been, human society has never been more civilized, never lived longer, never been more medically, scienticially, technologically more advanced.

We have problems, and we mostly try hard to improve the conditions.

Kids have been having sex way younger back in history, 14? that's already too late, most would've been married by 15.

Murder rate, has been going down for over half of century now all over the world, haven't you noticed?

[QUOTE="Rich3232"]not really. i just don't want one because they just suck up your health and money. br0kenrabbit

Raising a kid, either naturally yours or adopted, will statistically grant you longer life.

that's certainly understandable, for many reasons

Not really, I have 2 kids as it is.

[QUOTE="SUD123456"]

[QUOTE="Rich3232"] Not at all. The vast majority of the people in this world are living in poverty like conditions. Even the ones lucky enough to live in a first world nation often experience long stretches of boredom, sadness, or despair. Happy moments are just that; brief moments that quickly disappear.

Of course it might not be perfect.

On the otherhand this is a survey of thousands of people across the world vs the opinion of a depressed teenager on the internet.

[QUOTE="SUD123456"]

[QUOTE="Rich3232"] From the article itself: "Some critics charge the poll may be unreliable because it could reflect cultural biases toward giving positive answers to strangers asking questions, despite real-world living conditions. And telephone surveys have become increasingly inaccurate, according to many reports: Landlines are less common in many households than in years past, while cell phones (or no telephones at all, in developing nations) are the rule" Hardly a definite answer nor does it ever say that the vast majority of people are actually happy in the world. Only that the ones who tend to be happier live in poorer nations. Rich3232

Which all kinda goes along with what his link was saying.

Yes, because I despise children.

[QUOTE="lukeyAUS"]

Most kids are drinking, smoking and having sex by the age of 14 and taking class A narcotics by the age of 16, What happened?

br0kenrabbit

What do you mean "What happened"? Until recently, most people were parents by age 16.

Of course, most were dead by 30.

History didn't start in 1950.
