I think women's rights have come a long way, and when a reasonable person sees a teen mother they assume she has wrecked her future. They may also assume she is unwed and will not continue her education, maybe even "suck off the welfare system". This, like all assumptions, is hardly ever the case. There are many young mothers who continue their education, maybe even pursue it more ambitiously because they know they have a child to financially support. Unwed? Maybe. But do we really want teenagers marrying the father of their child? Not really. It's a damned if you do, and damned if you don"t situation. We would criticize a young married mother for rushing into a marriage just as we'd criticize an unwed mother for being 'promiscuous'. As for the financials, most teen mothers are supported by their immediate family not the government. They live at home so they can continue school and receive childcare from relatives. Maybe some people just feel that teen mothers are unequipped to deal with a child emotionally. In all honesty, I don't think you can prepare yourself for motherhood and if you wait to have children until it's the "right time" you may end up on the opposite side of the spectrum and be 40 years old on infertility treatments praying that it's not too late. We shouldn't judge people for deciding when to start their families, too young or too old.

i am a mom and my first pregnancy was when i was 18 and i had twins. there is nothing wrong but you should know beforehand wether you are ready to get pregnant and chance raising the child alone. i am also single now. 22 the twins a re 3 and i have a 15 month old from my marriage that ended and tried another relationship and that went really bad but ended up pregnant again. it is very stressful being a single mom but also rewarding.

i was a teen mother (i'm 20 now). People do give you a lot of crap sometimes when you're a young mom. Its a shame, if youre taking care of yourself and your baby it's something to be proud of not looked down on for, even if you're a single mom

As long as you work and are'nt on Welfare, and you are married, I don't see anything wrong with teen mothers.
