my cousin had her baby at 13 my daddy cracked down on me and my sister but my cousin finished highschool went to college and makes a lot of money because she wanted a better life for her son.
im a teen mom. I got pregnant at 15 and had my son at 16. Hes amazing he makes me view life in a different way! He made me want to go to college and do something with my life so i am this fall!! Im so blessed that i get to get up every morning and see his smiling face I love being a mom and i know some teenage mothers arent the best and they left their parents do all the work but i dont i believe when girls decide to have sex at any age they know the risks and what could happen and they should take responsibility for their actions and be a mom i did get my Ged after i dropped out of school i didnt want my mom to have to put her life on hold and watch him while i went to school and im going to take online courses in just a few months so being a teenage mom to me is a positive thing im so much more mature than wat i was and im happy i dont spend my weekends partying or anything i spend them playing with my son or coloring lol hes amazing and i feel so blessed hes now almost 21 months hes such a joy
I’m 16 and almost 4 months pregnant. And I’m not going to drop out of high school or anything, this experience is actually pushing me to try harder for my baby.
I got pregnant at 16 years old. I had my daughter when I was 17, just before my senior year. I graduated high school on time with my class. I had been working since I was 14 years old so money was not an issue. My mom and 4 sisters helped with baby sitting. I worked 3 jobs for 3 months. I had a 7:30 am shift- 3:30 pm hostess/waitress, 4:00pm-10pm at a Dairy Queen and then a 10:30pm-6:30am shift in an old folks assisted living place. Then I moved out on my own, got a job, had my daughter in day care. I guess since I had a lot of help and I worked my butt of to provide my daughter with the things she needed, i didn’t have that hard of a time with it. However I do feel I missed out on a lot. For school I went to an ALC so I missed all the things I could have done. Prom and nights out with the friends. But it helped me to grow up a lot. Her dad left me while I was pregnant, but that was expected. He’s not too involved with her now. She is 4 years old and her name is Beyonca. She now has a 1 1/2 year old sister and a sister on the way!
I’m 21, but I had my son when I was 18. I got done with my senior year when i was 6 months pregnant. Nobody knew that I was pregnant exept my mom and my bf. I didn’t really show that much until I was about 7 months pregnant, it just kinda looked like I’m getting fat:)
Anyway it was really hard watching all my bffs goin to college and all…but I knew I just couldn’t give up, cuz I needed to take care of my son. I got a good job at a nursing home and even got promoted after 2 years:)) Being a relatively young mother made me a lot more serious and organized. It is hard sometimes, but I moved back to my hometown so my mother can help out. It is almost impossible to raise a child on ur own without ur family’s help when ur a teen mother. So now that my mom can help out I can go back to college this September and get a degree in health care management. I am not only a young mother, but also a single parent, cuz my bf turned out to be an abusive a**hole.. BUT i would not change a thing and I love my son, even though life for us is not a walk in the park.
I was 17 when i had my daughter. I am now 30 and she is 13. It was def. hard in the couple years after her birth when work was just a job and a little over min. wage instead of a career and a salary.
I talk to her about life’s choices and teen sex and pregnancy.
I don’t regret my teen pregnancy…had I not had my daughter at that age…I might not have been so life driven and as successful as I am now.
