im not a statistic
by: molly c. on Mon, Nov 24 2008

My name is Molly i am 17,I got pregnant with my baby when i was 16,When i found out i was pregnant i was scared..the thing that scared me the most was if i could be everything that my baby needed. I had alot of ups and downs with my pregnancy..i had nobody to support me. Im a firm believer that “god only gives you what you can handle”.so i had my baby.i kept her and these past 2 months she has been in the world have been the most happiest/challenging thing for me.

My recent boyfriend who i was with for 4 years(not the father) decides hes not ready to be a dad..i was put in a position nobody should ever have to be put in..my child or my loved one? The hardest thing iv probably ever had to do turned out to be the best decision iv ever made,cause i love my baby and nobody comes before her in my life!

i want to say just because your about to be a “teen mom” does not mean you’ll be a bad one,i dont think it matters if your 15,16,17,25,35,40 years old..etc.etc.if you love your child and you do everything you can for them, it makes you a good “mother” in my book. dont let people catergorize you as a teen mom..age is just a number that changes ever second of every day.
