Im 16 and pregnant i know i should have waited a bit longer but it happenes. I went into shell the other day and the lady was giving me the third degree she asked if i was married how old i was and she was giving me the worst faces when i have her the answers no im not married but i am still with the father. Just because i got pregnant doesnt mean i have to marry him. People at my church too they give me some faces i stop going all together because they act as if there holy when there not. My baby is being taken care of im graduating in may and being a CNA in july done being mad just had to let it out

I don't know if I count... I was nineteen when I had my daughter. I had been married for over a year. I think the comments about the wedding were the worst though. I got married a month after I graduated high school to the love of my life. I was raised by a super conservative family that does not believe in sex before marriage and especially not cohabitation outside of marriage!
I kept the secret of being sexually active until after the wedding, but we were planning to get married anyway, we just pushed the date up because I really wanted to live with him and my family just wouldn't approve. Everyone assumed the only reason we would get married so young was because I was knocked up, when in reality I didn't get pregnant for eight months after our wedding. People freaking su.ck.

I think people react that way because they know how hard it is being an adult and having a child, let alone being much much younger. It's hard at any stage in life. But being younger, you are just getting to know yourself, who you want to be, where you want to go in life. It's a huge juggle. But there's no looking back now. It may be easy to think having a baby is rainbows and sunshine, but it will be one of the hardest things you will ever do in life. And the most rewarding. If you took on the responsibility of getting pregnant so young, then you have to accept people's negative judgments. Raise your head high and say yes I'm graduating, yes the baby is well provided for, yes I will try my best to be a good mother, and yes I am strong. Rise above the insults,looks and whispers and shine on. Because thatthat's the best for you and baby.

My sister was a teen mom. She got pregnant at 15 and her kids are well taken care of. Who cares what other people think about you beung a teen mom. Dont let the people you run into at stores or church ruin your spirts. Alot of people support teen moms. And I'm one of them. Good luck sweetheart
