I respect them...Its extremely hard work, I had to do a baby simulator for My child Psychology class and I went out and was carrying my baby and people thought it was real and I got some of the dirtiest looks, but I honestly don't care what other people think its your baby you made the decision they don't need to look at you bad, they should respect you for not aborting it..Good Luck and God Bless with your baby : )

first can i say i was a teenage mother, i had my daughter an just 14. even thought i may of missed out on party's and other things i do have wonderful memories of my teenage years as i had a wonderful supporting family an friends that were great. the only problem i had was the stereotype that is of teenage mothers that were all sluts and cant look after out children but even thought that is right for some 95% of the teenage mothers i know are great with their children and I dont see how just because your younger you cant be a good parent. but i have to say i would rather my daughter to have a "proper" childhood and have kids when she has a job and is in a adult relationship but if she did have a child young I would 100% support her
congratulations on your child and never let anyone judge you x x x

No, I am now 35 my first was born when I was 17 I think as long as you look after your child to the best of your ability you cant go far wrong but I think you are talking about financially its ok to have benefits you are entitled, but once your child goes off to school I feel that you (not you personally all young mums) should go out and get a part time job, you can now get help with childcare as well as your earnings topped up by the government.

do you really regard yourself as part of some sort of club ? i mean, you may have nothing in common with other teenage mothers other than the fact that you gave birth at a young age. and we can't really have a view on you without knowing anything more about you than the fact that you are a teenage mother. now, if someone was to generalise they could have some negative views about teenage mothers. it is difficult for me to think of why, other than your own friends and family perhaps, and maybe, though not necessarily the father of the child, anyone would think it was a good thing that you a) got pregnant and b) went ahead with the birth. but as i said, i don't know any of your circumstamces, so i wouldn't assume that you were " just like the rest of them ". you are an individual, not a stereotype. at least, i hope so.

I had my first daughter when I was 16 and the second at 19 yrs old - my daughters are now 23 and 26 and are great women - settled in relationships and hard working. But the best part is that although it was sometimes hard, we did a lot of growing up together and they are now not only my daughters but my best friends as well. Parenthood is hard at any age - its not how old you are physically but how emotionally stable you are that makes a good or bad parent. Good luck to you and your kids - enjoy them.

I was a teenage mother. THere is nothing wrong with that AS LONG AS you step up and take on your responsibilities as a mother. Everyone told me that I missed the "best years of my life". Well, the way I feel about it, there is nothing better then playing and spending time with my two boys. These ARE the best years of my life. Don't worry about what everyone thinks about it. My husband's mother, aunt and grandmother was either pregant or had a baby or two in their teens.

It matters not whether you are a teenage mammy or an older one. It only matters if you are a good one.
This next part is for the one who said mommy which is an American word for mother where mammy is Scottish for mother

I think your very silly to throw your life away before you have stopped and taken a look around, if it was an accident or a rape then you cant sometime help the hand you've been delt, if you planned it then obviously this is what you wanted from life, I think you should have had a teenage life and a twenties life gone out got drunk gone away with your friends on european trips but now you won't be able to experience that joy.

Both of my sister were young...one was 18 and the other was 16 when they had their firsts.
I actually have a lot of respect for teen mother because i know that i couldn't do it.
