Far-fetched dreams?

I'm only 20 years old, about to be 21 on the 19th, and I'm in college. I'm finishing my associates degree in the fall and starting my Bachelors degree in the spring. I want to go into work as a correctional officer and then on to greater places in law enforcement.

I'm in a relationship now and living at home still. I want to move out within a year or soon and then after that get married.... AND THEN HAVE A BABY!

I guess the main idea in this blog is I WANT A BABY AND I WANT IT NOW... but then i think on what I want in life and i understand that it just doesn't fit in the plan right now. If nothing else goes as planned I at least want to be living outside of my parent's house and married to the man I'm pregnant by before I have a baby...

To me it's one of those things I want but i just cant do it yet because I know the time isn't right. But i don't want to be run down from other people's kids by the time I have my own.

Is it normal to be so anxious for a child?

Am I pushing for goals that are too taxing?

Do you feel where I'm coming from?

Teenagers without a clue, and having babies

Not saying any names but why do these young girls continue to spit out babies they know they can not afford to take care of? Like one young girl literally lives with her mother and siblings, who in turn lives with the girls grandmother! So lets count:  THAT'S 4 GENERATIONS LIVING UNDER ONE ROOF! Is that insane or what? she has NO JOB, NOT DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL, NO CRIB AND SUCH FOR THE BABY ..... But she's posing on Facebook with captions like "me and my baby fly" .. REALLY? I'm not trying to put her down but she needs to wake up to reality.

Another teen with a baby is really close to me.
This girl (16 years old) runs out the door every chance she gets, leaving her baby with her mother so she can chase the streets. What is so mind blowing in the streets that it takes priority over her 1 year old baby? I'm asking you guys out there because I haven't got the slightest clue. She claims she loves her baby but I'm just NOT SEEING IT. I asked this girl if she had the baby to keep the father around (and he isn't around) and she said no she just didn't want to have an abortion because she was scared of the pain.. LIKE HAVING AND RAISING A CHILD FOR 18+ YEARS IS GOING TO BE EASY.. RIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT

They have sex without the mindful knowledge of the consequences, then they are allowed to make adult decisions. Some of these teens don't even have an income to even raise a child but they still choose to bring a child in this world now their burden falls on the adults in the teens life, most likely the teens parents, and it becomes a long cycle.

Why have a baby if you KNOW good and well that you have no money to support the child?

Does anyone understand where I'm coming from?
