Sorry I'm going on a rant now. It seems more and more unmarried teen moms I run into act like they've done everything correctly. Ha! I would really like to know how. I'm about to be 19 and it's mind boggling. Your thoughts?

Our society makes teen pregnancy and teen parenting seem ok. I think our government is spending more money on helping young parents then they are on prevention. I completely agree with you.
You know the old saying, "It takes a village to raise a child." People just don't care anymore.

I got pregnant at 17 gave birth at 18. I will be 20 in June my son is a year and even though I was not married I feel as if most of my actions have been right. I could have just aborted my son but I choose to handle my responsibility! I have my own place and I support my son and I'm not just some young mom sitting around waiting on a county check. I go to school and I work. All my bills are paid and my son is well taken care of. Not to mention his father and I are still together. Yes we could get married and we will just not right now. Even though I am considered a teenage mother I'm a darn good mother! But, yes so young moms don't do everything right even those that are older do the same thing not just teens!

The very sad fact of the matter is that these teen moms will have children who will also be teen moms as well. There is nothing they have done right making the right decisons, and most have not finished school, and most are living on the welfare system. Their children will more than likely stay in the system as well because this will be all they will know. Maybe though, they have not had a mom and a father who was there to teach them or be there for them. I do hope that they will go back to school and get their degree so they can set a wonderful example for their children.

Girl, we all have challenges in life and you just got some earlier than others.
Being a MOM is incredible so love it, they grow up fast and you when they go to school, then you go back too. Get that degree and lead by example.
Oh we have hard lives, just different from each other. You have a so many blessings and counting them, makes the harder times better. Really.

Its away to justifiy there actions for getting pregnant at such a young age and remember when your teenager you think you know everything, but the fact of the matter they don't. Part of that has to do with the fect they do not have a frontel loab that allows them to slow down and rationize thing out like an adult. Why do you thing when you where a teenager you had no patience you had to have it now. And as you got older you calmed down and began to rationlize thing and things start to make sense. that what i think.

i think as though the instruct on Fox kinfolk, secret existence or in spite of it rather is termed provides the impact that in the time of highschool it is so user-friendly to enhance a new child. basically from looking at one episode i observed that the instruct has youth on there discussing having intercourse, yet yet one youngster already has a new child as a consequence of having intercourse!! you may think of that the instruct could attempt to be lifelike like the youngster mom instruct and instruct the struggles you face from judgements you're making. in my view i think of the two shows are a waste of television.

Good luck and best wishes!
-Everything will be fine, if you are comfortable with it, and unless your mind tells you something different, you made the right choices.
Do they pay your rent, pay your bills, support you and your kid?
If the answer is NO, then who cares!
-We are all equal but we are not the same!
You don't have to do something someone else does just because of what you think they will think of you or say about you.
Peace, and worry about important stuff (like your kid!)

First of all, maybe they wanted kids!
Maybe they thought kids would bring the best out of them.
So, they had kids, and they love their life!!
Just because a teen mom has kids, doesn't mean she made a mistake. It doesn't mean she doesn't want them!!
You cant judge someone, thinking you know all about them, when really, you just think you know something about them.
Find out what their situation is, then judge.

are you on public assistance, because if you are, then i have to say no. if you bring children into this world you'd better be able to raise it yourself, and not the rest us. best of luck to you. have a nice day.
