Teen mothers opinions on teen pregnancy?

I am a teen expecting mother myself. I feel that we are looked down on because of our age. Which ,yes in some cases I understand that we are young.

But they need to look in another angle. I am a junior in high school 17 and my babies dad is a senior and 18 BUT we have been together since we were 13 and 14, we BOTH have nice paying jobs and we are looking for a place of our own now, and my dad said he will help support us no matter what, and so has Brent's mom and dad. So it really don't bother me what others say; I have all the support from my friends, my dad and Brent's(my babies dad) parents and of course Brent himself!

So haters can hate. We ARE great moms no matter our age (well most of us are) We played and we are paying with our beautiful angels! God Bless my fellow Teen Moms!

I am 5 months pregnant with a little boy and I am 17 BUT I live in my own HOUSE, that I pay for. I am with and have been with his Father for going on 4 years this month. I not only have a job, I have TWO and so does his Father.

Not to mention I am in my senior year on high school and taking 2 college courses. I am prepared for my amazing little boy ) but even if you live with your parents, get a job and support what you created!

I'm a teen mother myself, I'm 17 & I have an 11 month old baby boy. I love him to death, & now I couldn't imagine my life w/o him. I did not intentionally try & get pregnant, like the teenage girls on here are talking about.

I went to my mother when my boyfriend & I started having sex, and since I'm catholic she was against it, & would not put me on birth control. My boyfriend & I tried preventing having a baby, we used condoms, but they aren't always 100% effective. But everything happens for a reason, & I wouldn't trade my son for the world.

Its HARD, I miss out on sooo much! Friends, parties, & everything when my friends want to go out to the mall, most of the time I have to use my money to buy diapers, baby food etc. So I have to pass that up. I'm in my junior year of high school, I've been doing extra classes online so I can have enough credits to graduate this year.

When I'm at school, my son is in daycare which I pay for! I work, when I'm at work my boyfriend has our son. I hardly ever get anytime to myself.

A baby isn't a toy, you can't just send it back once you're done playing with it. I wish I could have waited about 8 years, so I could give my son so much more. But I'm very fortunate, I do have family that helps out.

My mom puts a roof over our head & feeds us. I didn't choose this lifestyle, but I owned up to my responsibilities. *Teen pregnancy is looked down upon by most people, but you just have to take the good with the bad & be the best parent you can be.

I was 19 when I became pregnant with my first, the only teen pregnancies I look down on are the ones where the teen gets pregnant on purpose to keep her boyfriend. I now have 2 kids and expecting baby number 3, im still with my now husband, all of our babies were planned besides this current pregnancy, was on the mini pill since im breast feeding my second who is only 10mths. Im now 27.

I have the exact luck except I'm 17 and have 2 kids and have been with the father of both for 3 years now. And we have our own house that is paid for and and we both have jobs and can support our 2 kids financially and pay our bills and still have money left.. Like other girl said.. Not all teens are as lucky as this but some are...

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.
