I know your probably thinking that this forum is going to be about me bashing people who get pregnant at an early age...Well guess what, you're wrong...I'm on of those people!
Ya see, I got pregnant when I was 16, currently 17 and due in July, and I've had so many bad things said about me and too me and so many dirty looks. If your one of those people who think that young pregnancies should be aborted or talked trash about....Your cold and heartless and probably don't even care that you are those things. Ya see, when you're in my shoes, those things hurt....they make you feel low, and not good enough, but that's wrong. In my opinion, it's not about the age that you get pregnant, it's about the way you take care of your child. Don't get me wrong, I"m not proud of myself, I wasn't trying to have a baby. But I made a mistake and I have to deal with the consequences. Lucky for me, I'm having a baby with a guy that I've been with for almost 4 years, and that I love unconditionally and is willing to stay with me though this....A lot of girls in my shoes don't have that luck.
So please, tell me what you opinion is on teen pregnancy. And remember, other pregnant teens or young moms may read this so if you're going to say something low and hurtful, don't leave an address that we can get back to you at. I would hate for you to get hate mail cuz of my topic.
