I am 19 and a college Junior. Whenever I have to go on my college campus with my son, I get lots of stares- both good and bad. Why?

Well, first off...good for you for getting your education and not letting be a teen parent be an excuse to sit around and collect welfare! You are setting an expmple for other young moms that being a teen parent doesn't mean that you have to give up. I think a lot of people may be suprised because of the ammount of people that do NOT attend college. Don't let them get to you. Just remember that you are finishing school so you can provide a better life for your child.

Because college students are all about partying and barely having any responsibilities and to see someone their age with a child is weird to them because usually people are smart enough to wait until they are out of college and are married before having kids.

Yea I get that too...college kids are usually irresonsible, immature and in aw when they see one of their peers with a child. I personally don't care...if they look at me funny...well it's my life not theirs so they need to get over it. People just don't get it when young people have kids..I was 17 when I got pregnant and in college..I gave birth on the second day of my second semester of college...the looks were crazy. But who really knows why it happens.

i think people make a big deal about it is because some people think its horrible to have a kid and go to school..it makes you look like a slut and what ever..i see a lot of people that go to school and have kids..and people say they cant picture that girl having a kid now..or its like oh i knew she was going to have a baby she doesnt know who the father is..ect..plus i think its an age factor..other people can be nice because having a baby is a special thing..and some people compliment the kid and what ever else..but i think people just need to grow up and stop worrying about others

because SOME NOT ALL people think that once you have a kid that your life is over. good for you for striving for your dreams. my mom always wanted to be a nurse but had my brother before she could become one and waited till we were in high-school before going back to collage. WAY TO GO.

I think it's partly because they when they see a young mom it shocks them because they are the same age yet they are seeing themselves as irresponsible and you grown up! And like what everyone else says.

good ones because they think your son is cute following you around campus. bad because the other ones are shallow, jealous, i dont know. appreciate the good looks and ignore the bad.
