19 and pregnant

One thing I hate about being pregnant at such a young age is people tend to look at you and judge you.. like today I flip out on some lady because she give me a dirty look and told her daughter that she better not get pregnant like that girl right there. Kinda let my hormones take over and flip out saying just because I'm young and having a baby doesn't mean I ruined my life and I hope your daughter gets pregnant at young age and her baby daddy leaves her and so soon as  he finds out and then I left it might of been rude of me but I can't handle judgmental people

I just turned 20 and becoming pregnant honestly saved my life. I'm so lucky and feel God gave me this babby to save me from my old life. If people want to judge you then screw them, they don't even deserve a reaction from you. You're better than that and you know where you stand.

I understand. Im 17 ftm and no one at my school suspected for ME to be pregnant. So when I started showing, everyone gave me dissappointed looks like i ruined my life. They said I wouldnt be able to go to college anymore cause Ima have a baby. Total bull.

I think it's best not to judge back. Not to respond in rudeness back. Be secured in who you are..and not be shaken by others' judgement. You decide who you are..rude or kind? You can choose who you are and not just respond in kind..

I'm 18 and having my second son in august! But I'm married to the father of my children and I get looks anyway because I'm covered in tattoos from my neck to my feet!

I'm 18 and my husband is 21!
We are better parents than most people in their 30's so we laugh when people judge us!

I love when other girls my age put there nose up to me when they see me because I just put my middle finger up!:)

My husband and I stopped calling them haters and started calling them fans! Lol

I'm 23 and I had a women tell me today I was to young to buy maternity clothes. I looked at her funny and was like "I'm 23, married and pregnant, technically I'm not." People just anger me!

I am 19, 20 in July but I literally look 14. So I will probably be getting some mean looks too but I am married, I work, and my husband is in the marines! So we are very well off :)

I understand your frustration but your about to be  mother! Would you say something like that in front of your child? You shouldn't let people get to you like that. People are ALWAYS going to judge one another. As for you saying you hope her daughter gets knocked up and her childs father leaves her is incredibly messed up, watch what you say to people because Karma is a b!tch. Im not a religious person but just in case you are, God don't like ugly.

Lol I would've done the same thing! Haha..  19 isn't even that young to be pregnant!!  I'm 18, I'm 30 weeks, and I'm also married! My husband is 23.  I Dont think I'm too young at all! I Dont care what people think.  I know I made the right decision! and both our families support us all the way! So that's all that matters to us! :D

I understand how you feel, since I'm nineteen and pregnant as well. I've snapped at a few people but I'm a shy person so I probably don't snap to much.
