Question

how did you cope with it?

--oh, and im not a teen mom, im just curious, and im doing a term paper on it..thanks

Answer 1

Our son was born when we were both 16, luckily my husband assumed his responsibility as well as I did. We had a daughter when we were 20. There were some hard times in the beginning, but we got through them. 25yrs+ later, we are still together. We became grand-parents at age 39. Our son has a 4 yr old little girl, he was 22 when she was born. Our daughter now has 2 little girls. Her first was born when she was 20. Let me just say we are proud parents, and it's extremely joyful to be grand-parents. We are still young, and able to enjoy the grand-children and play with them.

Answer 2

Yes, I had a child at 19, 20, 32 & 34 & I find that I had more energy & more patience with the first two. I also became a grandma at 36!!! Although I have more money for the last two - but not much more!!! So, I would say they both have their pros & cons! Was happy & enjoyed each one of them though! They're all special in their own way!!! Hope this helped your paper in some way!

Answer 3

I had my son when I was 16. I wasn't allowed to live at home with him so I moved in with my best friend and she worked 2 jobs and I worked 2 jobs and we both went to school and the father also helped alot financially. I was lucky to have a good support system and we made it through. My best friend and I both went to college. She is still my best friend to this day! I was just very lucky that my son and I didn't have to struggle. His father and I ended up breaking up after 7 years when he went nuts but that is a different story. I just can't imagine my life without him.

Answer 4

well i had my daughter at 19 i had to drop out of school cause i was too sick to attend classes and when i had the opportunity to go back i had to pay out of my pocket since i was on financial aid probation. since then it's been one dead end job after another and i've tried several high priced vocational schools. If i could go back would i do things differently? yes. But I would never take my daughter away despite everything. I just have to try harder

Answer 5

I had my daughter when I was 19. I coped with it one day at a time and now things are alot better.

Answer 6

My parents under no circumstances somewhat taught me something approximately existence, yet my one pal instructed me to under no circumstances replace for a guy. there became into this one guy I enjoyed sooooo lots. I had the biggest weigh down on him and he enjoyed me too yet he suggested that if i wanted to be with him, i'd would desire to earnings weight. i'm completely happy at what i'm now, so I instructed him no, I won't replace for him. In a manner, it made me more desirable by using saying no. as much as I enjoyed him, I became him down with the aid of fact i did no longer desire to alter. And yet another ingredient my pal taught me: some adult males are like cotton candy crushes. they are super to seem at and to think of roughly, yet as quickly as you get a flavor, there is not any longer lots there. So specifically situations a weigh down ought to stay a weigh down and not something extra. (:

Answer 7

not me but i have a few cousins to have kids at the age of 16.....im 24 and my second cousin is a freshman now i believe....its still pretty darn wierd.

whats more strange are the people who have uncles that are younger then the nephew.(you know when your grandmother has a child after you are born) that would be strange.

Answer 8

i was 19 when i had my first son and it wasn't easy, we didn't have a lot of money and my husband at that time had a crappy job and we lived in a crappy place and didn't even have a car, so yeah it was tough, but then we moved and i got a really good job and things got better but it was a rough first few years!!!!!

Answer 9

No, but I became a parent for the third time at age 60.

Answer 10
