Tell it like it is

I am a mother. I had my son at seventeen, so I was pregnant at sixteen. It’s a big deal, but ‘living with it’ isn’t exactly the term I’d use for it…I doubt this post will even make it up. But hey, why not try? I have to disagree with so much this site says.

It says that it is the biological youth that makes teenage mothers have unhealthy babies…Explain then, why Mother Nature made the best childbearing years sixteen to twenty-one? I’ll tell my story. I fell pregnant and I was left by my babydaddy and had no support. The treatment I received was shocking; I think that’s the biggest problem in teenage pregnancy, not all those other fancy theories.

But I gave birth to a healthy baby boy who’s two now, and not one of those gloomy doomy predictions ‘experts’ like to give has come true, I am he is sane and my career’s quite on track too. Don’t let all those people get you down girlfriends!
