Those teenagers who give other teen mums a bad name!
I'm only 17 but I'm responsible and I know I will be a good mum.. But people judge me and think I'm horrible and everything because of those girls who just aren't ready! The girls who still drink and smOke and go out to party's every weekend! They give us a bad name an it's so frustrating because we aren't all like that! Some of us are going
To be good parents.. I'm not going to leave my baby with my parents so I can go partying.. I know that there are sacrifices I have to make now.. They just don't understand and it makes me so angry! I have people look down on me in the shop and whisper about me! I hear the names they call me and the things they say.. It's hurtful that because a handful of young mums are reckless that reflects on us as a whole :(
On a happier note I'm 19 weeks and I can't wait! :)

Yes and it really is hard to just try to be " the bigger person" when there are so many ignorant people in this world :(
i guess to put it simply i wish you didn't have to show anybody anything. i wish you could just be you and enjoy your pregnancy.
i'm sorry other people are so rude to you like that. obviously no one told them that if they have nothing nice to say to say nothing at all. poor parenting on their parents part. often times people judge others because they feel it validates their own lives.
i know its a hard time because there are all those hormones involved. but believe in yourself and don't let those who are judging upset you. .
if you feel like expressing yourself more perhaps take a look at the teen pregnancy forum. you might enjoy meeting others that are in a similar situation. cause sometimes a good rant is just what we need.

I'm 18 it is awful ... I went off on a lady who was standing behind me talkin to her friend about how horrible they feel for my baby and people my age shouldn't be aloud to have kids and than when I pulled out my credit card to pay she says " aww she's using daddys money" that was the last straw I stood there for 15 min ignoring her rude comments by this time I was already crying so I turned around and started yelling " my daddy died when I was little fyi this is my money that I worked hard for and I am married and I love and do everything for this baby so if your going to talk s**t atleast whisper" her jaw dropped and the cashier was just smiling but I just couldn't stop crying it hurts when older people make judgments because we are young <\3
I mean these people who tell me I'll be a hopeless mother and things like that, I'll prove to myself and to them that I will be a good parent! My age has nothing to do with it to me! I know I will be my daughters role model, hence why I am not going out partying and drinking! She will be my first priority.
i love how guys say you'll show them! i think that is humorous because there is no one to show anything to. it is no ones business if you are young and pregnant and you should realize that before making yourselves bitter about other peoples opinions.
you are going to have a little one soon. you will be their roll model and their guide through this world. you will teach them everything they need to know. so if you are eager to show someone something, show your child how to live a happy healthy life and you will have accomplished something amazing!
also, in the past when you got your period you were married off and had children right away. if that were so this day in age, we would have 10 year old parents now. so in comparison you'd almost be a granny by now!

Yeah I understand completely! I do wish I had of been more careful but it happened and I accept it. I'm happy to sacrifice drinking. I can include my baby in things with my friends like shopping and going out for lunch and stuff like that..
I'm 16 and i know EXACTLY what you mean. I can't stand when others feel the need to judge me horribly based on other teen moms and what they have done. Yes, i'm young and have my whole life ahead of me but it doesn't change the fact that i'm taking responsibility for my actions. I don't regret my baby one bit but i do wish i would've been a little more cautious
about unprotected sex because i know it's going to be really hard. You can still have fun, just know whatever you do has to include your baby. What i don't get is why people assume the worst of teen moms. Just because we want to have fun doesn't mean we're going out drinking/smoking and partying. I go out and have fun with my family. when we go to sixflags or disneyland it would be GREAT to be able to ride the roller coasters with them but i can have fun watching them enjoy
themselves... And eating (: you can never go wrong with eating lol. But anyways, congrats on the baby and always keep your head up. What people say, let it go in one ear and out the other.

hey lady, if you feel comfortable being a mom dont let others discourage you, let me tell you you dont need to do all those things mke a mistkes jus because you are young trust me i know, but yes you should enjoy urslf and you dont need to go to clubs drink or smke to njy life, rather get it ryt the first time, than hav a mountain of regret! i like your attitude your will determination will see you through trust your judgement and remember what you do is a reflection to your baby, mother to a child means guardian angel. it will not be easy but stand firm in wht you believe and God will see you and that blessing carrying through, Stay Blessed
Oh and most girls.my age have never had a job and their parents.are payong for.everything. i have two jobs and a car fully paid off and everything for the baby i have bought with me or my partners money. but people still say im not in control of this situation and how i need all the help i can get of course i will need help seeing my mum wont be here to help me but i dont think im that stupid.
I was a young mom as well. I had my 1st daughter at 17 and pregnant w her at 16. I got looks and snarles and ppl talked about me too. But like lyak said u do need to go out and live a little. U need to b a teenager. When my daughter was about a yr old I got a wild hair up my a** and went crazy!! I couldn't take it anymore!! It gets really hard and stressful. I did tht for about 2 months and picked my life back up and straightened up! I now am preggo with my 3rd and love my kids dearly and would never leave them. Yes I crave adult conversation at times cause I'm 24 and it still gets stressful but date night w hubby every once in a while helps:))
I just turned 18 and im 32+2 weeks. i know where your coming from i have been with my partner for awhile and i have had alot to go through my mum passed away three months ago so i have had alot of.stuff on my plate. I stopped smoking straight away and have had no alcohol it makes me sad for these kids who have mothers that smoke and drink and not care. i moved back home with my dad to help him cope with everything i hope it was a smart move me being pregnant is the only thing keeping him going. i hope you have a great pregnacies and to amyone who thinks you cant do it you just have to prove them wrong
I know I'll go out every now and then but not every weekend like other girls.. Party's and clubs aren't my scene anyway.. It doesn't interest me.. A nice dinner out somewhere is enough for me. I wasn't saying ill never go out, just I don't like that some girls go out EVERY weekend.. They got pregnant, they should accept the consequences and sacrifices.. There's always later in life when the child is older too, you don't have to go out as soon as you can
you don't know what its like to be home with a baby all the time, I love my kids with all my heart, but I need a break every now and then, and I don't mean daddy keeps them out of the bathroom so I can take a bath, I mean adult conversation, I was a teen mom, never went out and partied, never drank until passing out, I never came home at 5am clubbing, not because I didn't want to, but because I had a baby and no trustworthy babysitter, you haven't lived life yet, neither have those partying teen moms, so they are trying, their priorities are a bit misplaced I would say, don't be surprised that one day you'll go out and you'll want more, and I'm not saying its bad, go out when you have a chance, it will relieve your stress, just don't come home too late <3
