Hey. I am from South Africa. I am currently pregnant(my 3rd pregnancy) my eldest is almost 7 and I had a miscarriage last year. To answer your question, yes! For some teen mom's things do change, I am speaking from experience. I was 16 going on 17 when I was pregnant with my daughter. No I do not have the same friends. They party and my life is dedicated to my family, I couldn't go out with them, drinking or whatever they did,(it is not how any child should be raised. My daughter was with me everywhere I went, I never let my responsibility fall on my parents. I refused to be a mother who is someday told 'you didn't raise me' or 'you had fun while I grew up without you'. I always knew what I had to do for her since I was pregnant. I love her and my unborn child, just like I love the child I lost. I would do anything for them. I don't regret falling pregnant at that age. It was hard but I wouldn't change it for anything, and those friends would have still been in my life if they were true friends. Not all woman feel the same as I do and I would not advise any teen to fall pregnant. (Its HARD, imagine hospitals, being up all night, no help from anyone and being confused about how to raise a child. No baby sitting is not the same) all of this is just my opinion and experience. Yes it was hard but not all bad, and I wouldn't change it for anything. Hope this helps.

Raswus9, I am currently 18 years old and coincidentally my son was born the day you posted this. I live in Canada and am a single mom. I was very fortunate to have such wonderful and supportive friends (for the most part), there were many who turned their backs on me when I wasn't interested in the same things they were, anymore ie. drinking, parties, boys. The friends I still have from before I got pregnant are still very much a part of my life and love my son aswell. Like many other teen moms a lot of harsh words went around about me, many throughout those I am no longer friends with. Falling pregnant was the biggest blessing in my life and although I am young and doing it on my own I wouldn't trade it for the world.
