I just read a question by an 18 year old girl asking advice about what she should do, she wants to have a baby but I guess she needed some help with the decision?
Overwhelmingly people tried to discourage her as many of us are older and understand the reality of it, but, of course she completely ignored the vast majority of people and gave a "favorite answer" to a girl that wrote:
"i think your ready and i think with time you will have one and make a great mother i hope you do"
She went on to reply "she has lived her life" and is "ready". (At 18! I got a good laugh.)
Is it funny to any of you that some people here just ask questions to validate what they have already decided and choose to completey ignore what the majority think? Why do you think they waste peoples time if they've already made up there minds and had no intention of listening to the advice given?
BTW- I have my own opinion on the subject but I'm actually interested in what others think.

If at the age of 18 .... I had already lived my life....it would have been short and shallow. I can only say that at 60 years old....I'm still living my life.....and learn something everyday.
It's called maturing.....something this little lady will realize one day....hopefully.

communicate it out jointly with her first, so that you do not screw up 3 relationships jointly. each so often it facilitates in basic terms to positioned your emotions into words. She desires to take heed to those words. then you definately both want to imagine about for an afternoon or 2 earlier you're taking any action. It sucks no longer to have a right away decision, although that is a lengthy way more effective perfect this way. it would not matter too a lot the position you've this communique, yet the position you had in ideas by technique of the creek is almost as good an section as i'll imagine.

According to Andrew Newberg, in "Why We Believe What We Believe," we tend to view as true opinions that coincide with ours. We ask for advice, hoping that someone will give us the advice we want, and when that advice is delivered, it confirms our bias and allows us to proceed with what we had decided to do.

I think some of them are kinda "in your face" and like the 18 year old without a clue, just want to announce what they're doing or not doing.
I like the ones where they tell you what not to tell them.....LOL

Maybe they haven't really made up their mind yet, but make us think they have. If they have already made up their mind, then they wouldn't be asking nor care what we think.

Ahh...second guessing and looking for validation from others. Nothing wrong with that - we all do it. (don't we?)
