I always believed that if that is what you told yourself, and then no it’s not wrong. Many people will tell you different, but if you don’t want to be a parent you shouldn’t. I know a few people that never should have been parents

No it is not wrong. It is a personal choice that need not be explained. And if this is truly the way you feel then make sure that you take every precaution to keep from having them. There is no reason to bring an unwanted child into this world.
Oh, BTW, feeling this way does not make you a bad person or any other negative thing. It simply means that you do want to be a parent.

No, it is not wrong. But, hopefully you're young enough to continue putting that decision on hold.
At one time I wasn't sure if I wanted children. Not because I don't like them but felt very full filled with nieces and nephews and wasn't sure if I would be a good parent.Eventually I did change my mind and raising my daughter is the most awesome thing.
But I'd never think badly of anyone you chose not to have children. It's definitely a personal choice that should not be judged.

No, it's not wrong. You can't force yourself to have kids. Howerver I would try to find out why I felt that way. Some people want to pursue a career, and don't have the time for instance. Some are scared they won't make good parents. There's always a reason. It's important to know why you feel the way you do. Some people do want children, they just aren't aware of it.

No, it is wrong to have children when you never wanted them.
The first "right" a child has is to be born into a family that wants that child.
Not everyone wants to be a parent...it does not make you selfish or anything else, other than responsible....
But, don't lock yourself into anything, you may change your mind later in life.

Nope as long as you discuss it with any potential partners. Not everyone is meant to have children. it is a personal choice but never say never, you just might change your mind in the future!

no because it is better to be smart enough to know that is what you want than for you and the children to be miserable. Parenting is hard work and certainly not for everyone. It is good you have the rationale to see that may be the case for you.

No, I don't think it's wrong! It's your own personal choice, and it's your choice to make! Only you know what your heart wants and what your heart doesn't want; and if your heart doesn't want children i don't think anybody has the right to judge you for that!

I find it difficult to believe that you may "never" want children however, I have discovered that people chose to forefill their lives in their own ways. Some choose to be free and live their life in the moment and without the embrace of committed loving relationships and instead choose to have short relationships with others as opportunity allows. Good luck with you choice. God bless.

No. Some people don't ever want children and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
