Answer 2

Its always a good idea to have a support system for yourself as a mother, and especially as single mom.

You sound like you're doing an excellent job. Remember to always represent to your children what you want them to be. This includes avoiding friends who arent worth your time, and relationships with men who are worthless. Its hard to figure that out at 16, and even harder to figure it out at 16 when you're already grown up.

I didnt have kids at 16, but I took care of my dying grandparents, and finished school, raised my brothers... wen through a lot. And i can say that the best thing you can do it make very careful thoughful decisions about every single aspect and choice in your life.

Another great support idea is a church, or other similar organization.

Answer 3

I am really sorry to hear about your baby's dads. But i will give you some advice not to be mean or anything but you might want to try and get on birthcontrol after you have this baby. 16 with 1 kid has to be hard. Pretty soon it will be 2. And it will be harder for you. You dont want to make that 3 do you? Espeically if you have no help from anyone else!
