I'm curious, at what age do you stop assuming automatically that a girl/couple had a baby by accident?

Just a question I've been pondering as a 19 year old and all of these people I graduated with two years ago are getting married or having kids.


as a bit of a disclaimer: I know some people have kids on purpose at this age, but I've noticed that when these things happen, everyone I talk to always assumes failed birth control.

Most teenage pregnancies in my school certainly weren't planned. But the marriage thing is weird, high school experiences is such a small group to limit yourself to for marriage. If she is the one, date each other longer then.

Why would they ruin their lives with kids and marriage at such a young age?

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

Some people are capable of parenting at that age. The question I was looking for answers to was the approximate age that you stop assuming these occur by accident.

I tried saying this is a thread earlier but I got flamed for it.

I prefer to be the man in a mask.

People go long ways for attention. TLC certainly doesn't help this situation. at. all.

I try not to assume how a couple decided to have a baby. That tends to end in awkward moments where someone gets offended.

  • 01.04.2013 8:42 PM PDT

Best thing to do is just to not assume anything in the first place.

Maybe of whether or not the people in question would make good parents. But not whether the kid was an accident or not.

Are you saying the first thing you think when you see a child is: "I wonder if that baby was an accident or not."

Kind of weird, man. My initial thoughts are either, "Wow that baby is cute." or "This little bastard could not be more annoying."

Interestingly enough, I've tended to group those two subjects into the same impression.

Ah, well I've never really assumed if it was an accident. (like kids or marriage )

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of "Congrats my bestfriend on your new baby girl<3 can't wait to meet her! Love you so much XX" with about 50 likes attached from various teenagers on facebook.

Edit: This will sound pompous, but I tend not to directly associate myself with people who are -- neither accidently or intentionally -- having children at our age, so I never actually meet or see these children.

Unless you've inherited lots of money, most people at that age can't financially support a child properly. That's not even taking into account maturity.
