For example, going to college or having children straight out of high school.

Get educated first, so you can have a good job to support your children. The higher your education, the better off you and your entire family will be.

straight out of high school? sweetie, give yourself some time. if you have that opportunity to marry and start a family, that is great. dont rush yourself. you are still young. explore more of yourself and wait for a family. give your self a few years to find you, and make sure that is what you want before getting into it at such a young age. there is so much more you can do that you cant do once you have children. travel, and learn about you. if you still have that desire to start a family within a year or less, than sweetie, go for it. education and family are both very important. to have a family and be able to support a family, one must have an education. mcdonalds is not a way to raise a family. get school out of the way first, then start your family. very admirable to think and want both. both are very good decisions. both need proper timing. pray about it, and you will be fine. trust in Him. good luck

I was anxious to have kids. I wanted to be married and have a child by the time I was 21. I did go to a community college for 2yrs. Now, I am married and have 1 child. I have recently figured out that if I could've done it all over again, I would've went and got a good degree and not have been in such a hurry to have kids and get married. There is soooo much you can do with your life before you have kids!! Once you have them, if you don't make a ton of money, there's not much you can do. You have to plan! I know so many people that have waited and they talk about traveling to this place or that place and I so wish that was me. So, I say college first and get at least a 4yr degree and then worry about getting married and having kids!!

It all depends on what you feel called to.
I always wanted to be a mom, but it didn't happen for me early. I didn't marry until I was 22, so I was ready to have children right away. My first child was born when I was 23, and I had some college education, just because I went to find Mr. Right.
Education, to me, is important if you don't want to be a stay at home mom, which I think is what all moms should be. Having children is a full time job, and you should prepare yourself properly and seriously.
If it's education you want, get it. Life throws us all curves.
If it's children you want, and you are married, get it on!

Wait to have children. I did things backwards, got married right out of high school, had children. Got divorced and I am back in school graduating next year, my kids have had to give up a lot not only because my time is very tight, but because money is always an issue. Being a student is very expensive and we can't wait until after graduation so we can finally live again.

Children are more important than anything in this world and once you have them you will know.
I say you go to college and then have children because once you have kids, you will have more expense and after that you can't go to college. If you go to college then you can have a good job and that means even if your husband leaves you, you will still have a good job and can support yourself and your children.
Good luck and hope you make the right choice

There isn't awnser that is for everyone. Depends what is in your heart, what you want out of life and what you want to be able to provide for your children. I had kids straight out of school, and don't regret one bit. Do what is in your heart, don't just have a baby to have one, make sure you are ready.
