I want to know what they do after the baby? What happens to their lives? What do they do about school, work their family?

Some of them go on to have a miserable life. Others work and go to college at the same time. They enjoy growing up with their kids and seeing the world through their eyes. It really depends on how much determination you have. No one can help those who won't help themselves. If you sit around expecting someone to pick up the slack for you and whine about what you're not able to do, then whatever happens is your problem. So basically you work your butt off to be a good parent and make a good life for yourself and your kids. With hard work and determination, it's really not that hard. And the rewards are amazing!

I can tell you from my own experience, that it's hard. I had my daughter when I was 16 and no one except my best friendand fam knew about it (I was petite throughout pregnancy, my daughter was born in Dec. so sweatshirts covered it up) but in any advent I had her over the Christmas break and went right back to school after without taking a break. My mother watched my daughter during the day while I went to school but I finished school, I was junior. I finished my senior year in Fl (lived with my grandma) b/c I wanted to get away from my negative influences.
I went to school and worked at McDonald's about 40 hrs a week to pay for the sitter to watch my girl during the day, it was not easy.
In any advent, although I've had a delay, I'm finishing college, make $40,000 a year, have a wonderful husband who is not my daughter's father by the way and am living life well. I can only say having good support and positive influences around you will definitely help. Do press on to live out your dreams and make a life for your child. I'm 25 now and my daughter will be 9 Dec. 28. Also don't have any more kids until you're ready.

After a teen mother has a baby. If they have family and friends support they can continue to go to school and get their education. Its a big sacrifice but it can be done. Having a baby doesn't make your life miserable. But, you have to consider that you have a child and that your child comes first. So you have to do all that you can to make a better life for you and your baby. So that means going to school and working is an option. There are some colleges that have daycare so it can be done. Good Luck.

They become "parents" and they don't have time to hang out with their friends, or do anything that teens would normally do... They often times have to find a job(s) and care for their babies.... Sometimes "special" schools will work with a teen mother so they can graduate OR get their GED. However, some to drop out.... It just depends on their support system and if there's a daddy in the picture or not.... I think that every teen mother is different and responds to their baby differently... My mother was a teen when she had me and she managed to get married, buy a house, have another child- get divorced.... Go to college/trade school get remarried... etc.. It just depends on the mother and he "drive"....
Good luck

Well if they keep the baby they need help from family. They go to night school, they get a job, they work their butts off to come into their own at an earlier age than they were meant to.
Their lives, social lives are pretty much over... they will no longer have the luxury of going out with friends and just hanging out whenever. They will be parents and have their child to take care of.

Do you mean if they keep the baby? If so, they will be up every 2-4 hrs. on average (depending if the nurse or bottle feed), feeding, burping, changing, cleaning & caring for the baby's every need. They can resume a normal life aside from that providing they have a good support system & lots of help for the baby, both physical help & emotional support as well as advise. Oh, & a decent income will be an absolute necessity:-)

What do you mean?
It's not about "what happens to all teen mothers?"...it's about the individual women and how they take charge of their responsibilities and ask for help and seek it out if they need it.
There are many teen mother's that end up being very happy, and successful, because they owned up to the responsibility of having a child and took control of their lives. They also asked for and sought out help when they needed it.
Then there are teen mother's that lose it and have no support system, nor do they know how to take control of their situation and end up making choices that they should never have to make in the first place.
It's not really about being a teen mother...it's about the choices you make if you become one.

they get on with their lives, i had my son at a young age, and although i missed out on clubbing with my friends and going on single holidays i would not change my son or his timing at coming into my life, i went back to school when he was two, and got all the qualifications that i need to go to university, although it was harder with a child and more tiring i did it, at the start of any relationship i told them i had a child and we came as a package so he was never an issue, if i could talk to some of these girls who want a child when they are young i would say wait, it is hard work, not all cute babies when the child is sick or another night out has to be cancelled because of a sick child, or that who they think are friends will disappear when the novelty of a friend with a child has worn off, and they abandon you for fun, but in all honesty i have done everything the next person has done it has just taken longer and more work to get there, but it was my choice to keep my baby and i have made the best of it so i don't regret my dissuasion, my son made me grow up and face reality but i would not be without him, i will still be young enough to party when he is old enough to look after himself. so what do young mums do the same as older mums we look after our babies and get on with life, hope this helps, best of luck.

The same thing that happens when anyone from all over the world has one, the babies are in heaven. I'm sure everyone is pure in all the countries around the world except America, right? I'm sure they don't sneak and have an abortion and don't have sex until they are married. They might get killed caught in such an act, so therefore they sneak and have this done. Do you live in the US? Why are you here? Go home! You who think they are holier than thou. God said thou shalt not murder, why is it ok when you do it in the name of Jihad? Hypocrite! Murder is Murder, Sin is Sin no matter what!

It depends differenty for every teen mother.Soon r able to take care of the baby,live a good live,and r able to finish school with good grades and work.Others r sadly unable to overcome being a teen mother and it will affect their live.They may have to give their baby up for adoption,foster care,or to a family member to raise,they might have to drop out of school,they would be able to get a good enough job.
