and yeah, being aware of your faults is a huge step above most people

Can I though? I mean, getting preggers seems scary.

If you're 19 and you know your flaws, you're doing fine.

Stick to your guns and work on your career. You will grow into a good person.

you can't get pregnant anyway

SHUT UP.

(If you aren't already)

@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) shush, we can try

It's not my fault.

nobody said it was

but its true

Hmm, 8.30 in the morning and I'm telling lude anime avatars to repopulate the planet. Thanks sargon!

I just want to be a good mum.

you can adopt

^

its not a bad option

or don't subject a child to that tbh

Or surrogates is an option too

thats basically adoption with extra steps

I heard it was insanely difficult to adopt. Makes a really good case against abortion.

At least the child would resemble your partner, and if they want kids then they should be happy

I'm scared that my experiences, my spiral of life won't be a good influence. I mean. I'm a really bad edge case. I flunked school, flunked college, flunked everything and hit rock bottom but I now work as a specialist without any formal educational training except a low lying diploma.

well then do your best to correct the spiral before you think about having kids

which everyone should be doing anyway

@Steyr "Thick" Shotgun sounds like my mum tbh

I don't think trans people should be allowed to adopt tbh

@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) you can think what you want

i dont have a problem with trans people, i have a problem with people who push being trans on their kids

theres a difference

I can think in terms of reality

isntead of perpetuating a delusion

I've got no career except some english teaching experience and I'm making games. I probably shouldn't have kids but I've given myself a 2 year time limit to just do it anyway.

as long as they are responsible parents, i have no issue

Teaching my kid that university isn't important, that experience is worth it's weight in gold. How to woodwork, shoot, weld and get them interested in trades because if nothing else they'll have job security.

dont teach them that it isnt important then

I guess it's tru what they say about there not being any girls on the internet <:smugon:512048583806025739>

teach them that people can make mistakes and correct them

Steyr that is good thinking.

it's not about the competence of the parent frankly, its the simple fact of bringing a kid into an environment that will instantly confuse them

University is the trick to being in debt by government.

You only go if it's necessary.
