Still pushing on

I hate how people judge me, the way they look at me when they find out I'm an 18 year old single mother. I found out that i was pregnant right before my senior year of high school. My boyfriend and I had been together for 2 years and I honestly thought I was going to marry him. When I was 6 months along I found out he was cheating on me. I refuse to teach my daughter it is okay to let a man treat you that way, so I left him. I had my daughter (Kelly) about a month before my 18th birthday, and I graduated (with honors) a few months later. Now I am a full time college student trying to balance school and home life. My choice wasn't the smartest one, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I just want to let people know that not all teenage moms are "permiscuous" and we are certainly not stupid. People make mistakes, but God does not and we were ment to have our babies for reasons beyond understanding.

just keep trying

i got pregnant when i was 15. fun, huh? NOT. my boyfriend and i had been dating for 6 months, broke up, and then i found out a week later that i was indeed pregnant. i did not tell him, even though he would find out anyway. so when i came back to school junior year with a belly, he freaked shit. i told him that i want nothing to do with him and that i can give birth to and raise this baby girl all by myself. so, that i did. on december 2, 2008, Valeree Nicole was born. she is the light of my eyes, and the essence of my breath. i dont know how teen moms say that having a baby made their lives harder, because my baby relieves me of my stresses. in the end, i do not regret any desicion i made.

Teen Moms Can Do It!

I was 16 when i got pregnant. I broke up with my sons father in the first couple of months after my sons birth.He is still in my sons life and pays child support. My son is now 4 years old, and i am a college graduate with a degree in law enforcment, a home owner, married to an amazing man who treats my son great.and rasing my son to be an amazing man. I hate reading these articles about how teen moms will never achieve their goals and i just want you all to know that you can do whatever you put your mind to!

My Little Boy

I'm currently 18 years old and pregnant with a healthy little boy. I met his biological father in the local town I currently lived in. At the time I thought he was the sweetest guy ever, but after a few months I felt trapped, leaving me to turn to drugs. He was controlling and never let me communicate with my family. He made me move out in September of 2008, and we got kicked out twice and lived in a garage. Finally in early 2009, I finally worked up the courage to leave him. We were apart for a month. We got back together and broke up about amonth later. Two weeks later he called me and begged me just to come hangout, so I did. We were then together for a few weeks. During the time I got pregnant. I got pregnant on April 26th 2009, and didn't know. We finally had stopped talking and I never wanted to talk to him again. Then on May 23rd I went to a pregnancy center and the two lines popped out and smacked me in the face. I called him and told him, hoping he'd change his ways and stop with his drug and alchol abuse. On June 3rd, I seen a little pea on the Ultrasound screen. We tried to make it work, thinking a baby could help our relationship. IT DIDN'T! I finally broke it off and met someone who treats me right. Now my son's father wants nothing to do with him and hates me with a passion. My boyfriend and I are planning on raising my little boy when he is born in late January. He's truely a blessing, if it wasn't for my little guy, I'd be 6 feet in the ground from drug abuse.

cant be real

I got pregnant with my current boyfriend --, I had been with him 3months to the day that I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant, I never thought this could happen to me I was always thought of as the ‘innocent’ one out of my friends so when I looked at the positive test my best friend had persuaded me to take I felt no emotion my mind went blank I walked back into my room -- were fighting at the time he rung me asking me to meet him and if I wanted him to get me any alcohol of course I had to say no then I continued to say I needed to talk to him instantly he amused the worse thinking I was going to end it, when I meet him I took him away from everyone and told him I was pregnant he walked off crying his best mate followed him then he returned crying it felt like everyone was crying accept me. I’d always said I would have got a abortion up until the age of 16 but something changed my mind. It took me 3 weeks to tell my mum she wanted me to get a abortion my dad was going into hospital for a major heart operation my life at home was hell finally my mum has come around to the idea everyone at school is supporting everyone’s stood by me luckily. I know somebody who has a baby at 13 and I have a friend who is due two weeks after me so we talk a lot about things. but things are hard for me and Lewis as I find it hard to tell him how I am feeling and we spilt up the other weekend but we got back together we have been together 9months now nearly 10 and we can’t wait to meet are little girl on the 14th of January 2010. I plan on going back to school for my exams and then going collage in September. I regret keeping her at times I miss how my life was but I cant wait for my new life.
