Ok, I know I am young(17 1/2), but I love being single. I was told that I have a problem with commitment-I agree too. But I mean you Can do your own thing when you are single, you are not tied down with Husband and Kids, you can go shopping and stay out all day, visit friends and Travel, ect. But I do know it is hard Living alone and one income comming in is harder to live with. But I just do not see myself with anyone dosen't mean I don't flirt! but I do not wan't kids or to be married. Its like I'm Scared. But Do you Think this is wrong????

You're not crazy and you're not wrong. What I think a few years will show you though is that you will find someone you don't get sick of, someone you don't mind...and actually want to do those things with - someone who will respect your "you" time and leave you alone and be flexible in plans. I know a lot of people who felt the same way you did, swore they'd be single forever - until they all met that one person they felt like was just a different version of themselves, someone they loved to spend time with and someone who enhanced the experience. Eg going to the beach alone is one thing but going with someone else who points things out, engages you in conversation etc., can be a good thing. Just give it some time, no need to rush and don't worry about being weird - you're not and you'll either find someone and be happy or be alone and be happy!

You are 17 1/2. As you get older your values will probably change. You may want a family, children, and so on. If you like being single, I think that's fine too. At your age, looking back, I wish I had been single so I could of met more people, had more experiences and figured out what type of people I like or don't like. You are young and have plenty of time to fall in love so just enjoy your youth for now. If love comes a knockin you'll know and being single will be the last thing you'll want.

If you get a good job, definitely single is easier. No compromising, it's total freedom. If your hormones aren't telling you make babies, then don't. It's not wrong. Devorce rates are sky high and 17 is too young to make decisions on someone to be "tied down" with the rest of your life. Enjoy the freedom!!!! ;)

There's nothing wrong w/ wanting to remain single all you life. People want different things out of life. Some want the great career, others want that nice house, the children and great wife/husband. It's all up to you on what you want go for it. IT'S YOU WORLD GIRL AND WE ARE ALL JUST LIVING IN IT!!!!!!!

No, its not wrong at all. There are many people that dont want to get married or be in relationships. Go ahead and try a relationship when you want, maybe you will find the right person and change your mind. And its not like you have to marry the person, and if you feel uncomtorable your free to do what you want. break up with him..talk to them about it..do whatever you need. But theres nothing wrong with wanting to be single =]

When I was 17.5, I was single and I had a plan...I had dated once in high school, and I was going to date once in college, once in grad school, once in the "real world" and then that would be enough for me...
I now have a promise ring and a prospective husband I met as a freshman in college...
you never know what will happen and at 17 its fine to say you don't want to date, have kids, or be married but if love comes knocking on your door, don't turn it down to be stubborn.

No I don't think that you are wrong. I do think that as you grow older you will find that there are more important things in life than the things that you feel are most important now. We all go through it. Have a great and happy life, no matter how you chose to live it. Love yourself and others as yourself.

I think you are one of the smartest and mature 17 1/2 year olds out there.
I was married the first time at your age. I was ready for it. Today at 49, I am single, but not looking because I know what it means to be single and what it means to be married and I wish to stay single.

you're 17 there is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to ENJOY being single. you're only young once.
to often people rush to have a family and get married, live a little and you'll be wise enough to pick a good mate and you'll have wisdom to share with your children.
in time you may change your mind or you may not. regardless, i suggest a roommate for now, helps on the living expenses.
