Wanted to say...

I seen a post on a girl who got judged for being a teen mom, and that really reallllly gets me upset and angry because there are so many woman in the world who have babies young and they turn out to be wonderful moms and better then some who are adult and it teaches them to grow up and mature. I'm only 17 and 8 months pregnant due in January and I'm proud to say I'm a ftm. I have a great support from my family and the baby daddy is 18 and was a big sex addict before and all he went thru life about was how many girls he had at once and how much sex he could get and after 2 years of getting cheated and played and lied to, I've seen a major change in him ever since we found out about our baby, I see him grow up every day that goes by. He stopped with everything, works really hard and buys me and the baby everything we need. And every baby happens for a reason. I never smoked or drank and before I found out I was pregnant I tried hookah for the first time because he wanted me to and I was 2 months pregnant I could have harmed the baby and I was depressed thought about killing myself and I look back and I'm so blessed I have a baby girl who is completely healthy and I know I might be young but i will be a great mother to her. Just wanted to share and if your gonna judge then you really sound worse then "kids" having babies .. Congrats to all mothers!

People are just rude. I know people who are first time parents in their mid to late 30s and are worse parents than my friends who are young/teen parents.

I had my daughter when I was a teenager.  It wasnt easy but when is being a mum "easy". I have a law/accounting degree a great paying job and my daughter was on the honour roll last year at high school. Im pregnant with my third child now. Teen mothers try just as hard as "normal" age mothers to be amazing to their kods. We love them just as much. Non teen mothers are capable of messing up their children just as much as teen mother's.  Its disgusting for people to judge other people

Ya that post was way messed up. That poor girl didnt even get an answer on what she was asking rlly. My mom was 17 wen she got pregnant with me and did an amazing job. It doesnt matter how old u are. I think its great that the younger moms step up to the plate and take responsibility. God has a reason for everything. I was 19 wen i got pregnant and i knw i will be a great mom the best that i can be along with all of the young mommys out there!
