If humans are not emotionally mature to raise a child b4 the 20's, why be able to produce sex cells at 12?

Answer 1

that is just part of the way humans develope. boys have to go from boys to men at some point in their life. same as girls going to women. what starts and stays with you through the boy to man process is high levels of testosterone which happens during a stage called puberty. this usually occurs during the age you stated above. just because a boy can produce sperm at 12 years old doesn't mean that he needs to use it at 12. it it just part of the maturation process that happens at a young age. for example a person has 15 gallons of gas in a 20 gallon tank of their car. they know it is there if they need it but it is not necessary at the particular time. saving the gas in the car by not going anywhere is saving it in case of an emergency or other need therefore it is out to better use. maybe not the best example but you see what i mean. same thing with a boy and getting sex cells. he knows that they are there but at 12, it is not the right time for him to use them. as the years go and the guy becomes more and more ready to do this, then the experience is much more fun and enjoyable because he waited until the time was right instead of messing up and doing it at a early age taking a chance on having a child that they cant support. hopefully this helps you. i explained it the best i could.

Answer 2

Emotional maturity has nothing to do with physical maturity. Humans evolved based on physical maturity. The needs of a child have also changed over the last several hundred thousand years as well. Before it was just the basics. People got through life based on what instinct told them. Unfortunately, humans developed mentally faster than they became able to control themselves emotionally. Now we have the capability to have rational thought and we can determine how emotionally mature we want to be. Some people choose to develop quickly and some don't. The ones who developed fast, had children that hopefully followed suit. They in turn did the same as their parents. The same thing happened with the ones who did not develop well and of course their children turned into the same delinquents their parents were. Of course there are exceptions to that rule of thumb.

Answer 3

Everyone in the world is different and who says a woman and or a man can not raise a child emotionally before age 20?
I do not believe that one bit at all.
I have 4 wonderful boys whom I raise emotionally just right they are now all in their teens and doing well, I had my first at age 18

Answer 4

You've discovered the secret that brings the "women's lib" movement CRASHING DOWN.

Bodies are physically capable by 15 at the latest, and in prior generations, 15 was VERY COMMON, most were considered "old maids" if not married with children by 18. Then along came the Rockefeller f-ckers that invented "women's lib", so they could get women working and tax the other half of humanity, and also try to depopulate the earth ("overpopulation" is a fallacy and a hoax, by the way, there's no way we could ever "overpopulate" the earth even if we all had 20 kids each)

And nobody can use the excuse that we didn't live as long, that is a fallacy

I wish I would have gotten married and had kids at 15, at the latest. It would have been smarter for my life. And there is no such thing as "emotionally mature". If you have children, that will teach you responsibility and growing up better than any worthless "career" or "degree".

Answer 5

Maybe we don't have to be emotionally mature to raise babies. Our grand parents were raised by 16 years old mothers and the were healthy, strong and with a good morality. This is a XXth century bad idea. Maybe to raise a child we have to feel more and think less about other things.

Answer 6

Beacause our mind evolves quicker than our bodies. WAY back when, people barley lived past 20. So, around the age of 10-11 they coudl have sex and reproduce. And in about 10 years or (when their offspring was able to reproduce) they died off.

So, as time goes on, we live longer, and it takes us longer to mature because of that..but, since it takes a LONG time for us to evolve our bodies, our reproductive system hasn't really changed much in the past couple thousand years :)

Answer 7

There are still many child brides at 12 in other countries. Back not long ago 40 years old was considered a sage ...people married young and died very young.
You were an old timer if you hit 30 if we go back to the dark ages like the path seems to be taking it might be that way again.

Answer 8

I don't think it's a question of age. Maturity levels are different for everyone. I know 40-year-olds I wouldn't trust with a child, and 12-year-olds that I would.

What it really comes down to is how much are you willing to change your lifestyle for a child? If there is a 15-year-old willing to give up partying and going out all the time with their friends, they will be a better parent than a 30-year-old who drinks every night and brings home a different person every weekend.

Answer 9

i personally feel that some adults over the age of 20 are not emotionally mature enough to raise a child

Answer 10

I think this is a throwback from the days when people only lived to be 20 or 30. Evolution just hasn't caught up yet. Also, there are theories that the growth hormones in meat and dairy products nowadays cause adolescence to occur earlier, so if nature is trying to breed out early reproduction, growth hormones are contradicting that effort. But that's just my theory.
