If you’re concerned about this, but still want to be a parent, consider fostering. That way, you’re not bringing a child into the world, just taking care of one that’s already here

    And adopt older kids too, just because they carry some baggage with them doesn't mean they aren't deserving of a home too. When I was 16, only one family in my entire district took age 14+ kids, otherwise they had to wait in group homes for placement, oftentimes aging out instead.

    Fuck no lol. My personal opinion obviously. Those half adults will have zero attachment to you, and will gladly pass you cyanid when being asked for water

    Again, personnally, no way i am letting an immature, unstable person in my house

    Not that over population is really a thing but we have so many children not in a loving adult's care we really need to focus on them.

    Overpopulation is really a thing though

    We have enough resources to support the current global population and then some. To call the failure of our chosen economic system to distribute those resources rather than burn them or let them rot in warehouses "overpopulation" is misdirection.

    It's kind of like this: I have two sandwiches, I only need one, and you come up to me because you're hungry. I tell you "Ah I see your problem. There's too many of you! If you were fewer people, you wouldn't need a sandwich."

    No, I get that the resources could be distributed better, but there is no environment wherein the current population is going to be supportable by the current biome esp considering climate change.

    It's wild to think otherwise, frankly.
