I completly understand how you feel. I am 21 and due to marry in 4 weeks and am 4 and a half months pregnant. Because I look quite young I also feel judged that I am not allowed to have a baby or a life!
Its really upsetting because you feel ashamed and upset to go out when you should be glowing! I have just decided to hold my head up high and last time I got a dirty look I actually asked what the ladies f**king problem was! She soon turned around with her head down!
Be proud of your bump sweetheart! This is the most magical time in our lives! Its no one's business what your situation is just hold your head up high, and give them a good old scowl back!
Don't let people make you feel bad about yourself. Only you know you & who cares what they think? Everyone has their own baggage & most people who judge others like that are insecure in themselves...judging others gives them an outlet and a way to feel better about themselves.
I got married really young and shortly after we were married, I had 3 children within a years time. My son was born on September 10th and my twin girls followed a year later on September 9th. I was 21, but you'd think I had them at 15 or something the way people would look at me when I went shopping, etc. I loved my babies and I didn't give a crap what people thought, even if I hadn't been married, I wouldn't have cared.
My husband has always traveled on business and I raised them pretty much on my own, now I have 4 kids and I wouldn't trade one moment of it just to make some stranger feel more secure in their own skin. Enjoy your pregnancy, enjoy your new baby and remember that so many people want to think the worst for some reason, it's just the way society is. You know who you are and that's ALL that matters!
God Bless & Good Luck!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
