Alright Im 17 years old & pregnant with my first baby. I am doing on line college classes, & i have a wealthy family who supports me & my boyfriend and i are together for three years now.

This is what i have to say about everyone making a big deal about teen pregnancy.

1. Yes, we are teens and no it may not be "right" to have a child at this age, but it happens. No we don't live under a rock, we know it takes alto for a child. No teenager thinks it is fully okay to have a baby. Some may think its easy & cute, whatever the reason teenage girls are pregnant doesn't make us bad moms, or unable to do it.

2. No one ever died from having a baby. Doesn't matter what age you are, 11-80 if your having a baby your giving it life. God has plans for everyone and makes everything happen for a reason. I believe that teen mom or adult mom no one should be judged.

3. Do you think of how we feel when we read or hear you down grade us? We aren't horrible people, we have feelings. What exactly does it do for you to cut us down? It isn't your body or your choice? Yeah some people get help through WIC or food stamps, but i work at a grocery store, and i don't just see "teenage" moms using them. i see all ages using it.

4. One thing i know, is ill be a damn good mother to my baby. Im able to give a little angel LIFE. And i can promise you that ill do a MUCH better job then 87% of mothers do. I have a huge heart and a huge goal for me and my child.

5. Don't call us teenage moms "whores" I have never slept with any other man then the babies father, so that doesn't make me a whore. We aren't little babies either. Some girls may sleep with alto of men, but still does not make them a bad person. Some girls, get raped an get pregnant and you don't think twice of how they feel.

6. You think your doing us a favor by cussing us out and telling us we are pathetic and immature, but in reality all your doing is making us prove you otherwise.

7. Yes, i know yahoo answers is for people to give advice, but what advice are you giving by cutting us down? None, your being cruel and heartless.

8. One day,if your child becomes pregnant as a teen are you going to cuss them out and tell them they are horrible and deserve to rot in hell? I think not.

Your parents gave birth to you, and centuries ago, girls were having babies at 11 and 13. Were in the 21 century now, and teen age girls are getting more and more aware of pregnancy and getting pregnant. Stop being so heartless & try and assure them they will be okay. It pisses me off to see parents and adults cut teenage girls down for being pregnant. You mess up at some point in your life, & i know for sure, alto of you. Don't wanna be judged for it...

Stop making us girls feel so horrible. Have a heart?

Im 17 years old, with number one baby on the way. I plan on graduating on line college in 3 years and giving my baby a good loving home. I work hard everyday at my work, and my parents don't just help out cause they have to, they do it because they care.

Think of how you'd feel.

Your just bitter because you really know that you just made the biggest mistake of your life...

[huma]

Nice to know that you're doing good and working hard but why would you care about what others people think?.. you shouldn't get offend if you are not that kind of person.. Get over with it.

[Valerie N]

its not that your having the baby its that you got pregnant in the first place. sex is sop posed to be meaningful with the one you will spend the rest of your life with and well i hope he is the one

[Lisa E]

Very well said, sweetheart.
I wish you and your baby a very good life.
And I agree, the quality of motherhood isn't determined by age.
Good luck and congratulations (:

Mg i agree with u 1000%. I'm 16 and think i may be, but when i ask for help on here i dint give out my age CZ i dint want to be cut down, they wouldn't think twice about if i have a job or if i sleep around. I'm with the boy i lost it to, and iv only been with him, and i have a job. Thanks, Lil that really made my day

Well considering you ranted about other peoples opinions on teen pregnancy like...20 minutes ago, I'm going to give you a good word of advice. SCREW EVERYONE ELSE, just do what you're doing and as long as YOU are fine with YOUR life, who gives a s-hit what everyone else is saying?

[Army Nurse]

I also hate those people who put teenage mothers down JUST BECAUSE. If you need to go on a forum to put somebody down then you really don't have a life and a active working brain. There are a lot teen moms that do way better that those old women who discriminate against them. Best thing is ignoring them because they prove to us that they have no life and no respect for them self or others.

[RollMyDice]

I couldn't agree with you more. Age is a number, just because where teens does not mean we Carnot look after and support our own child? .. People who put us down clearly dint know what we are going through they dint even know us so what gives them the right to judge us?, I bet half the people who judge us have had abortions and not even fit enough to be a parent. They say we need to grow up well i think it should be the other way round. Best of luck to you Hun x

God does make everything happen for a reason,
But it is wrong to have sex before you're married. No matter the case.

I think it's irresponsible to be a a teen-aged mother.
My opinion.
BUT, it is something you can just undo.

And if you had to do it on your own, with out your family's help,
It would open your eyes to see what its really like to be a mother.


I have recently discovered that I may never be able to have kids, and I hate seeing teen-aged mothers pawning their child off into any open pair of arms when times get hard.
You may be a good mother when the child is born.
But you(and the babies father) need to stick with it.
Give that baby a good home.
And a good life.
And all the love and support it could ever want.

And if you ever get frustrated or angry with the child,
just think there are people who would kill to be where you are.

Best of Luck
