I'm nineteen and pregnant with my first. Who cares about the judging, as long as you're a good mom. Life is different for everyone. The good thing about having kids young is you will be able to go out and live it up when they are older and moved out. A young mom is not equivalent to a bad one!

I'm not one to judge, but surely you understand why people are judging you. You're a senior in high school and pregnant with your second child. You are on your way to becoming another statistic. You need to do everything you can to be a good mom to your babies and to finish school and get a good job.
You need to provide for your children and show them that yes you had them a little too soon, but you worked your *** off to give them the life they deserve. It is going to be very hard for you. I won't pretend it will be easy. My mum had 2 kids by the time she was 18, and we struggled a lot. She got into tons of debt to provide for us and make sure we didn't miss out on anything. It was hard for her. And it is going to be hard for you. Good luck

It happens hun. Altho young in age doesn't mean that you can't be a terrific mom. Be strong and best wishes to you and those precious babies.
