How bad is this?

It is your life to live as you see fit and if you would rather not get married or have children then it is your prerogative. You have to do what you feel is right for you.

You're 18. Marriage and kids should be the last thing on your mind. In my humble opinion, you shouldn't even consider marriage until you are 25, and kids a couple of years after that when you and your spouse can afford them. Get an education, date around, live life. When I turned 32 or so I could finally see myself getting married. If I would have gotten married to my love at the age of 24, I would have been divorced by now with alimony and child support. Use protection and have fun, but don't let a good person go if he/she comes around.

You are 18!!!!! Thats to young to want that any way. I got married at 20 at thats was to young. Dont get me wrong, I dont regret it b/c I have 2 great kids. I was married for 12 and then one day I was divorced. When you marry youg=ng people will change as that get older. They dont want the same thing when then 30 as then did at 20. Just live life right now and date. Someday you will find someone of will love you and treat you with respect. Then you can settle down and have a family. Dont rush things. Thats why there are alot of divorces at a young age.

its not bad at all! Your only 18, you have not done anything in your life, you shouldn't be worried about things like that until you have made a decision on what you want to do in life have goals set and reached some of those goals!
Marriage, kids family, is something that you have to be ready for, and most people are not ready for that at 18! Live your life to the fullest and have fun, there will come a point when you will know when to slow down but until then HAVE FUN and dont regret anything you do!

At your age you don't know yourself yet, you've got a long way to go. Your feelings are coloured by your experiences so far. You may feel different when you're 20, and surely by the time you are 25, when you have matured. Fundamentally, there is nothing "wrong" with a person not wanting to get married or not wanting children, but don't sell yourself short yet. Wait.

There is NOTHING wrong with this. There are many people out there who don't want to get married. Just because everyone else does it, doesn't mean you are supposed to do this. Marriage is a choice. It all depends on what you want from life. You are normal as anyone else. So just be sure you go to college and get a good job and invest wisely, save your money and you will have all a good retirement. (Travel after retirement)

Hey, I don't think its necessarily "bad" right now: you're still young enough (sorry, not trying to sound patronising!) to grow in yourself and your needs and wants, and either you'll change your mind, or you wont. Ultimately, you're responsible for your own happiness, and if you're happier on your own, so be it.
People change as they grow, maybe one day you wouldn't mind settling down.
However, if your fears come from something else, such as abuse, or a bad family life of your own, or bad experiences, maybe you should consider talking to a professional to sort it out: and then you can still decide, are you better off with or without a family? time will tell.

trust me sweetie at 18, this should be the last thing on your mind.. think about going out and having fun and living it up and then think about family...you say you don't want one but when you find that person, being in love will make you do things that you never thought you would do or wanted to do
