Not saying anything about people who get pregnant by accident. I'm 18 and have a 5 month old. But I had plans and I'm working my butt off accomplishing those plans. And then I see that 15 year old who's dropped out of school who's parents take care of their child and they don't plan on doing anything in life. I just want to slap them. Get up and do something with your life. Do it for your child.
I'm not saying all teen moms are like this.
my favorate was when i was in school in my favorate teachers room i was asked how old my daughter is and i tell them how old and then the ackward question they almost try hididng is asking if im still with her dad and i tell then yes (4 yrs on the 25) and they see pics of her and they are cooing about how they want a baby because they are soo cute and im like sweety if i could have my daughter exactly as she is and have waited i would have (then the question of how long ive been with her daddy comes up and the normal reply is "well its ok since youve been together so long" that is when my teacher stepped in and gave me the mommy stare of it wasnt ok and tells them that
Wooo!!! You go girl!!!!!!
Quoting Innocencedreams:I know. I was 18 when I got pregnant on purpose, we were actively trying. However, we were also married and could easily afford a child. My two younger sisters, who we have adopted, are both pregnant, because they wanted to get pregnant. They are 13 and 14. I will never understand why they thought it was a good idea (BTW, they got pregnant before they came to live with us), but now, we are making the best we can out of it. But while we have to support them financially for everything, they will NOT be dropping out of school. They will get straight A's, like they have been, and they will get a diploma, and they will go to college. We'll pay for college, and their kids, but they have to build a better future for themselves and their kids.
I know. I had my first at 15, got pregnant at 14, from rape. I didn't want a child, I had no interest in sex, I wasn't ready in any way to raise a child. I made it work because the situation was forced on me, but I would never in a million years have chosen to get pregnant then or have a child. I did make it through school, with a lot of help from my parents, homeschool, GED at 16, and then nursing school right away. I busted my ass to get my grades high enough, to keep them high, and to work, go to school, and raise my son, and then to work full time while raising my son after school. It wasn't easy, but I made it work, because I had no choice. But to want to do that? What kind of an idiot does that? And then to do it, but not make the best life you can for your child? You made the choice to have that child, now care for it.
