I knew at a VERY young age I wouldn't have kids. My first inkling was at 12, after watching my mom work so hard taking care of all of us (7), especially the baby (10 years my junior). By the time I was 18 (probably before), I just KNEW parenthood was not going to be part of my life. I'm 49 now, and no regrets.
I was 15 when I knew parenthood wouldn't fit in one of my life accomplishments. I would like to look young by the time I'm 40, with no kids of course. I wish more girls would understand that.

I do! Part of my looking younger than my age is my not having had children. Also not smoking and staying out of the sun helps. My sisters also look young for their age, but the sister that had two kids looks the oldest.

I'm 19 and my sister says I'm too young and I should wat for a few years. Had she not known I felt his way for four years. She wants to control me from getting sterilized. She must understand that I'm not a kid person.

I was on the pill at 18 & sterilized at 23.
There are young women out there who don't want kids and didn't cave to peer, parental, societal or church pressure.

We're worth the search.

Does anyone think there won't be anymore childfree people left in the next decade or so? Some narrow-minded people who call me selfish said that.

That is absurd! If anything, the way our culture is shifting, there will be more CFs and people waiting until their 30s and 40s to have kids if they so choose.

Yes, there'll be CF people in the next decade, probably more so, too. And they'll most likely have their parents to thank for that!
