I'm a 19 year old girl and never want kids. I don't like babies either, and think that animals are far more cute. There are a lot of females who never want kids and never have kids. It's fine.

ya it's absolutely normal .there is nothing abnormal about not wanting kids. me the same way....

It's perfectly normal to not want kids and be like 29. Our generation just brainwashes people that there are things we have to do. (this is one of them) do what you want and live the life you want. :)

Totally normal. There is no need to try to force yourself to feel that you should want something because majority of people want it and they lack the ability to imagine that someone can have different desires. It also doesn´t have to be age-related, even if you never want to have kids, there is no reason to feel inferior to those who feel the need to reproduce. And it also doesn´t mean that you have to be alone. I am in a long-term committed relationship with the most wonderful woman I have ever met and neither she nor me want to have children and I am pretty sure that it will never change (by the way, I am twice as old as you). Enjoy your life and do not let others impose their own priorities on you.

It's not entirely normal, but it's not uncommon, especially at your age. The world is open to you and your biological clock hasn't gone off, you're not looking for domestication and you're young.

Women your age should be more concerned with making lives for themselves rather than making babies for themselves. You aren't expected to be concerned about this at your age.

Of course it's normal. In modern society, some women just do not want children and women should not be expected to or judged.
I'm 18 and not sure myself. I have already been pregnant which resulted in miscarriage but whilst pregnant, I didn't have a clue what I was going to do!
But I have to say, when you fall in love your feelings do change. When I was in love with my ex I so wanted a baby with him at some point because it just feels right to bring a baby into this world with someone you love. But now that I am no longer in love with him, I think it's crazy. My opinion could very well change in another 10 years or so but right now, I am undecided.
So of course it's normal. Women have a choice these days, mainly due to inventions such as the pill or other contraception made specially for women.

I plan on having a kid one day.

Normal.

I'd say it's normal. I'm also an 18 year old girl and I'm in a similar situation. For me it's not that I don't want kids, it's just that I don't think I'll ever have any.

It's more than normal!, it's incredibly healthy and rewarding!, by not poisoning your life with those monstrosities known as babies, you are ensuring happiness throughout your life!

Both myself and my fiancé are childfree. It's totally normal and there's a large group of people who feel the same way. Check out some childfree groups on Facebook or some forums.
