Pregnancy Info HOME

Congrats on your daughter. I really hate when everyone says mistake. A child is not a mistake. If they were would we have people against abortion. Anna stand up and be proud. You are a mother and a young women. In the past women have had children at Anna age and continue to this day. And guess what it won't end no matter what anyone says. Until we have the right resources and stop making our children feeling ashamed and giving them the proper support and resources ie/ s_x education and birth control. Once we get past our difference in religion and politics and put the government money where it is suppose to be, guess what we are going to have to deal with teen pregnancy. I live in the teen pregnancy capital of Ontario. I am not a young mother, but I see these kids living and working their so called mistakes out. There are some great young mothers and fathers here who are struggling but are not living off the so called system. They are working and going to school. Now young mothers, to say their are worse older mothers out there. You can't just come out and say that you have no proof on numbers. You also have to look at someone who is older . They waited for the marriage and the job. They sacrificed alot to become a mother, Child care in my counrty doesn't come cheap when both parents work, but a single parent or a young mother have resources. People here are paying $300 a month for one child in childcare. I have a view on both sides of teen pregnancy. Almost every girl in my family had their kids under the age of nineteen. Its funny I am proud of everyone of my family members. So Anna and B be proud and stand straight good parenting comes from within. AGE is only a Number, used to judge in this forum. By the way I am 31 and A mother of 1 and number 2 on the way. Guess what I am also deaf and I am a very good mother. My daughter is 20 months old and her vocabulary is above normal and she also signs.

of course there are kids,like 16,who have kids themselves and they are "mistakes".A girl could have a child at 12,what do you think about that?Also as for saying age is only a number,when grown men have s_x with young girld of 14,15,,its enough to make adults feel sick, and call him perverted.So,no age is not just a number.There are licensing rules as to why kids cannot drink,they are not there for the fun of it.Why young people cannot vote,because they do not know there own mind,they have'nt lived life yet themselves. I agree with you though on how thhese youngters can judge on older women who have waited to be financially secure etc etc.Its true they have no proof.However,once again it is put to these teenagers,yes,its true there are those older that can be a bad parents(s)but talking in general terms,there is a whole list of reason why it is wrong to encourage,or have children when anna you are still a child yourself.as others have said,you need time to get to know the man,there are many things at 16 you are not allowed to do,you have no money behind you,and in trying to tell your child when it gets to a teenager what is right or wrong,you have lost a lot of credit by having a child at 16,its a knock on effect,as your child will say "well you were only 16 when you had me mum".What can you say to that?Believe me,when your child gets to be 14,and you have matured,you will not like the thought of her out having s_x.You see,the list for a teen mum is quite long,in general terms.All you can say back,is "well you can get bad older mothers"which is true,but there is an awful lot of difference as well.

Good for you anna if you are mature and able to look after your baby all by yourself you should be proud of your self. It does not matter how old you are as long as you take good care of your baby that is all that matters.

I agree with you entirely,some very good acurate points.These girls throwing their lives away,then wanting credit for being a "good mum"course they should be a good mother!!!!

Im not saying im the best mother in the world. Why must everyone think that just because im younge Im not a good mother. Im just like you....except for the age. yes i made a mistake but that "mistake" is the love of my life. Im not saying that Im a better mother than you. But you talk about how immature I am but yet you are the ones who are so quick to judge....so think about that....and to everyone who was actually adults about this thank you for your kindness...and dont worry nothing they can say to me will hurt me.
