Whats the rush? Why at 15,16,17 years old are girls trying to be married with children? What on earth is the rush.. I cant even fathom it... granted I was 16 years old when I became a mom... which is why I can say from experience.... WHAT IS THE RUSH... what happened to hanging out with friends.. going to the movies.. slumber parties... high school...care free days... graduating... gasp.. even COLLEGE... but no.. they want babies.. I mean of course I don't regret my kids.. BUT having them later in life would've saved me a lot of heartache and headaches... I can tell ya that... but they WANT babies.. they TRY to have them.. with their little boyfriends... yeesh.. like these little boys are ready to be fathers.. yea.. I know.. "you shouldn't judge me.. you don't know me" blah blah.. I dont need to know you.. or where you come from to know that you are in WAAAAAAY over your head.. but its ok.. because being pregnant is SOOOOO fun and SOOO cute and OOHH a baby shower.. yay.. lets eat finger sandwiches and open presents!!!! yyyeeeeee hawwww. Boy I'd love to be there when you get that slap in the face of motherhood. Any mom will tell you yes awesome to be a mom.. but its HARD WORK trust me... much more than you are anticipating so Good Luck Chuck... You can call me and pretend all is ok... but i hear it in your voice buddy.. the stress, the hurt, the regret. "But you and Marcelo did it and you guys are happy" yes, we did... but only with lots and lots of HELP.. from our families.. yea it wasn't so fun when I was up all night.. and had to get up at the crack of dawn to go to school then come home so he could go to work pushing carts at Jewel-Osco... getting paid peanuts... yea that was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!! OOOOhhh how cool was it that we fought constantly because we were both SOOO stressed.. YEA! fun times... but go ahead... live your life.. have your babies.. go through the same crap we had to... I promise.. as tempted as I'll be.. I wont say I TOLD YOU SO... really.. because most likely I'll be your only friend left. I'll just smile at you and say.. "oh hes sooooo cute... yadda yadda" then you can go home and write a journal about why you are SO PISSED about how STUPID some of these younger girls are acting.
ok.. that's my rant of the day.

HAHAHAHAQ!!! i love you korina! but this is soooooooooooo true!!!!....i didnt plan shyanne but if i could i would have DEFINATELY waited!!! today is one of thoes days that you just wanna run and hide in the closet! oh boy i wish i could! They will realize it after its done and over with...they will wish they would have listend but in the end they are stuck with the stupid decision they made! I lvoe my daughter but if i could be older and have the same daugher i would do it! Im a full time mom and work full time now i some how have to figure out how to fit full time nursing school into that...yeah let me tell you its gonna be fun lol YEAH RIGHT!
I agree I have a sister who is about to turn 16 2/12 and she is trying to get pregnant and is getting married right before I'm due... My brother tells me shes doing it to get attention because I got married and got pregnant and everyone was coming from out of state to see me so she didnt want that to happen... Well she got her way they spent so much on her wedding no one can afford to come see my son when he is born...
I totally agree with you... I just had my first baby at 37, and it's STILL hard work! At 16, I couldn't have imagined being a mom, to be honest. I was way too busy having fun! I really don't think those girls have any clue what they're about to get into... And when they do, it's unfortunately already too late.
But then I think back, and remember how I thought I had everything figured out at 16, and how I never listened to my elders, so they're probably going to have to find out the hard way regardless...
well i didnt wanna have kids. i was 15 when my dd was born. it was not planned i wanted to be a teenager but some women are just obsessed with havin kids lik the lady with octuplets. it starts early. i dont regret my baby but i would hav liked to live my life more. but i wouldnt change it now.
Boy do I agree with you! I was 19 when I had my daughter. I was in college and I arranged my schedule so I could run home and breastfeed her! It was a lot of hard work and I don't know what would have been if I didn't have my mother, my grandmother and my father to help me out. My BF at the time did all that he could to but like the majority we ended up splitting b/c I wanted to be home with Mom, we lived together for a short time. I was not ready to "play house". I waited 7 years until I had another child! I'm 29 now and I just had my third child and I wish my parents were here to help me! It is such hard work and dedication. A lot of these young girls are stupid and have no idea what they are getting themselves into. I didn't plan to get pregnant, it happened and I took responsibility. My plan was to finish college, travel, find myself and then settle down..........yeah, ok, everything changed and I had to grow up......QUICK!
i agree.A lot of freshman in my old high school are pregnant.It was the "cool" thing to do and i guess it still is

A Boy with Autonomic Dysfunction - The Miller Family
Our Special Life
Oliver was born after having suffered a stroke while in his mother's womb. The resulting brain injury is called Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction). His doctors believe the stroke was the result of the miscarriage of his twin. Oliver is completely blind and his underdeveloped brain stem makes basic physical functions a challenge. In spite of all this, he is a happy, go-lucky, 12-year-old boy, and his mom wants people to meet the real Oliver, not just his medical hardships.

I completely agree! I love my son and I wouldn't change having him for the world but it is definitely hard work..a lot harder than I expected and im 20. My husband and I fought all the time as well because it IS so stressful. I dont understand what is wrong with young girls either. My sister just had a baby and she's 17 and she thought it was so cute to be pregnant but once that baby got here it was a different story..now she wishes she would have waited but its too late now! What really makes me sad/mad is the babies that are born to people who don't want them and then they get tossed into the system..and most of them come from teenage moms who just thought being pregnant was cute and didn't want the responsibility of raising a child
