I just exited from being a teen three months ago, but what exactly are you going through? Different people experience things differently. For example, my mother was 17 when she had me and regrets every moment of being a teen aged mother. She had an awful experience. I had a stable relationship with a man that wants to marry me before we got KU. I get what you're trying to do, but you could be a tad bit more specific.

I was a teen mom ( 16 ) When i had my daughter, i can probably relate to whatever it is your going through! feel free to message me if you want to talk. ( :

well I mean being a teen mom is indeed a very stressful thing... so thats what I meant... Being pregnant at a young age in general. I know a few people and they feel a lot better having someone to talk to. I honestly am not regretting anything, and so far this isn't an awful experience for me. Everything happens for a reason it is what it is.

Well I'm glad you feel that way. Like I said, I wasn't trying to be mean or snarky or anything. And I really do think it's pretty awesome how you're trying to help others.

I'm not a teen mom but I am very young (Early 20's) with 2u2 on the way so just because I have graduated doesnt change the fact I still get judged just the same..

With DD I was instantly asked my age..If I was married or with my DH.. it was a little ridiculous and none of peoples business.

A customer came into my job once and a coworker was talking about my daughter and she seemed appalled.. "You have a child?! How old are you? Oh dear, I wasnt even thinking about babies then!"

So I'm not sure if I can relate in the *exact* same way but I still get the judgement a teen mother might.

I'm 20, unwed, and this baby was planned. I have stage 3 endometriosis, so we wanted to get preg asap. We had to see an infertilty specialist for 6 months, and last year I lost a baby at 12 weeks.

But any who, being unwed and not graduated from college yet, I get alot of BS from other people. Having my family's support through all of this has been extremely helpful. People can say some really insensitive things, and I look a lot younger than 20, which doesn't help. I just try to stay positive...

I work at a daycare, and I can tell you for sure, the best moms are the YOUNG ones!!! Sure there's lots of great older moms, (and I don't mean to offend...) but don't let anyone doubt your mothering ability!

I was a mother at 15 with my first. It was a hard road to go down, but it made me keep my eyes on the prize and finish college, and meet a good man who loved my son. With this baby Im now close to 28 and exactly where I wanted to be. I know that sometimes teen moms get judged, but I fully believe that you can take that experience and use it as your driving force to be even better than you were before
