basically theres no question here..i just wanted ignorant people to know that theres more then just 30 something people who can support kids..
i guess the question is why are people sooo cruel to kids with kids??
i mean a 30 year old can have 5 kids and be irresponsible but a 15 year old with 2 is just bad from the beginning..

I agree with you, you don't have to white to make it in this world. However, I do think you are alittle young to be having 2 kids. So you were 13/14, depending on your birthday, when you had your first one. If you were my daughter, I'd KILL you. You say that you aren't on welfare. But are you and your boyfriend living on your own, by yourselves, no help from mommy and daddy. Or are you getting help from them/living with them? And I wouldn't be that proud about being 15 and about to have a 2nd child. You are a child, you should be still playing games and having fun and going to school, not changing diapers and having morning sickness. you may enjoy this now, but you will regret it in the future.

Well, speaking as WHITE mother and not quite near middle age, but still finding this posting offensive.....
It's great you and your boyfriend are doing what you can for your babies. But you have to come to terms with the fact that you ARE a teenager, and TEENAGERS are statistically NOT responsible parents!
I was a teenage parent, and I got a lot of talk from strangers, family, and friends, and that didn't matter that I was white or not. I would think that you would be trying to break strereotypes and bigotry for your children, but being mad at whitey is putting you in the same category as them. It makes you no less a racist if you are mad middle aged white people than they are for being rude to you. So, if you REALLY want people to take you seriously and you really want to be a respectable parent, do your best for your kids. Keep on with school, go to college, be a good role model to your kids and love them every second you are around them. Don't care what Mr and Mrs. Smith down the way have to say to you, and by all means, if you are going to post on here shouting out how together you are at least make an attempt at proper spelling.
There is certainly something to be said for speaking and writing like an educated person. Now, I understand you are in what, 10th grade? You still have more "skooling" to do, but seriously? Come on!
You are so young to be so angry! Grow up, move on, do something with your life!

Do what you need to do to be a strong lady. I had my first child when I was 17 &, like you, I went to a continuation school & graduated with my son in my arms! As long as you have the support from family and friends that will help you keep your head up, I dont see why a 15 year old shouldn't be able to get a job to support her children without government help. I'd say to do what feels right, but people will always talk negative because you're so young. Now is your time to shine! Do it for your kids & prove to everyone else that you can do it (if not better!).

I really dont think this should be made out to be a racial thing. I think that you are a very strong woman if you are supporting and taking good care of your children. I think that the children having children part comes into play when children have babies and they are unable to support themselves let alone provide for their children. Age has nothing to do with it whatsoever. You can be 40 years old and have 10 kids and be a drop deal looser and be on welfare and have your parents taking care of your children. It can go either way.
Sometimes you just have to look at people take in what they are saying and then turn around and let it go out the other ear. Who ever is telling you this obviously isnt very smart are they? Since you are taking good care of your children!!! Dont let people get to you. The only reason they do that is because they are miserable in some way or another.
Good for you!! Remimber just nod your head and smile real big at those negative people.

Well that's kool that u have a son and another baby on the way. I honestly think that kids are the most wonderful gift in the world. They the ones that keep you happy and young. I'm only 21 and I'm goin to have my 1st son (37weeks) I'm so happy. Well i wish you the best with ur babies and don't let others tell you what is right and whats wrong u know that ur self already. Your not a baby. LOL..oh and those that talk about kids that have kids its just cuz they don't have nothing better to do and in fact mad at them self or something is wrong....as long as u take care of ur babies that's all that matters and even the law sees it that way so people are no one to judge you.

Where I'm from, it's pretty common.
Good luck with your education. It is the only thing that will allow you to provide a good life for your family.
Also, if you live in an economically depressed area - move. As in: "anyplace is better than here"
Sometimes just by moving you can make double what you would in another city. Also depending on what type of work your man does, he might be able to get union, then you can get totally set up.

15 with 2 kids? Who take care your kids while you in school? Damn, your kids need a real mom and real dad, not this kind of family. Would you be happy if your daugther at 13 got pregnant with some boy around that age? How the hell a 13 know to take care the kid! A 13 can't event take care of herself! A baby, CRAZY!

15 and pregnant with baby number 2 , its bad because of your age , you're still a baby yourself. But if you're still in school and doing what you're suppose to w/o help then you go girl , next time use protection , finish college and get a decent job. Its hard for us minorities and you know that . Show them you are better than just laying on your back pushing out babies. Good luck and keep up the good work hun

I think you need to be studying more than spreading your legs and getting knocked up. Nice grammar and spelling... you just proved that perhaps being white and intelligent does get you further than 15 and pregnant with your SECOND child! And what exactly is "the dam thing?" Enlighten me please! I'm 25, a college gradute, NO children and have a great job... and I'm a proud "white WOMAN"... get back to studying honey because your writing proves that you're an idiotic steryotypical teen mother. Oh, and you spell it SCHOOL, not skool... ok?
