feeling depressed.

Why do people have to put me down because I'm 17 & pregnant? I'll be 18 in April & I'm homeschooled about to graduate in the winter. I don't see how I'm hurting others by being pregnant?

People always need somethig to complain about. Im 19 and i can tell people just look at me and judge me. I am engaged but i dont wear the ring so i think when people see me and then no ring they probably assume i just got knocked up and im gonna be a single mom. But i dont care what they think because i know who i am and what ive done already to support my child so their opinion means nothing to me. you just gotta stay confident with who you are and know that people just need someone to judge so they can feel better about themselves. Dont let it get to you! Good luck with everything, and congrats(:

Lady... Its a pattern! I've gotten crap since the second I found out I was pregnant. I got in fights with girls, got in arguments with people... And just keep getting crap from so many people. You have to have to have to be happy for he baby. You're young! But that doesn't mean you can't be a mommy... Prove everyone wrong.. You'll always have to.

I've been in your situation. I was 17 when I became pregnant with my first. I was 18 when she was born. I walked the stage at my graduation with a big belly but I didn't care what anyone thought. Most Everyone that judges you for being pregnant has done the same thing as you.. You just got pregnant and they didn't. I had the support of my family and the father of my baby and I are now married for going on two years. Don't worry about anyone else. It's your life not theirs.
