Is being a pregnant teen really that bad?...

[michelle p]

...=((? I just turned 18 and I'm pregnant with twins. They are due january 20, 2008 and im having an extremley hard time already, and all i hear is people saying stupid stuff like "omg shes only 18 she can't raise twins." It makes me feel bad but I guess all teen moms go through it.I'm going to do whatever I can to be the best mommy for them. I graduated from high school, and I'm going to start taking college courses again after they are born, but only at night when my parents can watch them.Is being a teen mom really that bad?

everything will be fine, Your not the first teen to get pregnant and your not the last. For a women being a mother is natural you'll be able to handle it.. well hope this helps! o yea im a pregnant teen

Being a teen mother isn't bad. People just make it out to be a big deal. I'm 17 with a 3 month old daughter. I was 16 when I got pregnant and 17 when I had her. Just because I'm only 17 doesn't make me a bad mother. I take care of my daughter and I love her to death.It's good that you have a plan of what you would like to do after they are born. Twins will definantly be hard.Good luck and congrats!

I had my daughter 3 weeks before I turned 21 and to me that isn't young but people still talk their shit and judge people, well you know I am a very good mom, I own a house, have a great job, I am married now and I have what a lot of ppl want, so as long as there is a will, there is a way, no one can hold u back! Those babies already are loved! Good luck!

I have a lot of respect for teen mom's that take care of their babies. My mother-in-law had her first child when she was 14 and her second at 18. She raised them great... it's definately possible and it sounds like you've got your priorities in order.Don't let those other people get you down. They have no idea what you are capable of. Congrats on the babies!

[cookiemonster07]

dont care about what people say hun..they are always going to shit talk and make u feel different. u have to know that u must love ur children and always be there for them... u should be happy u have parents who are going to help you even if u cant do it all by urself. take it easy and good luck with ur twins...

If you are ready for this then no. Most people think it is bad because you normally only hear about the worst cases. The stereotyping would have to be the worst but be strong and forget about it. You should watch Juno never seen it but I know its about teen pregnancy and I have heard it was very good

i would've thought being pregnant was the easy bit! it's the giving birth and raising kids that's a challenge!depends really. it's not so much that you're incapable of raising them - far from it. if you love them and have a supportive family, then that's fantastic, you've already got a headstart. it's more that people will perceive it that your own life and future has been cut short, as the lives of your kids will have to take priority over yours. and that's how it'll be for the next 18 years.i'm turning 25 this year, and i have a settled job, which i do love. but there's so much more I want to do with my life. I want to go travelling round scandinavia, i want to learn ballroom and latin dancing properly, i want to spend a year in australia, i'd like to do a property development etc etc. and really, all i have to do, is save up a bit of cash and hand in my notice. i'm single with no kids, so i haven't really got anything stopping me. if for example, you suddenly decided one day "i want to do xyz", you'd have to wait until your kids were old enough before you could go off and do it. i've got friends who have kids, and while they love them dearly and wouldn't change them for the world, i sometimes get the impression that they wish they'd waited, so that they could've got out to experience the world for themselves, and not just through postcards, photos and a tv screen. i like to think that should i ever have kids, it'll be after i've accomplished as much as I can, so i can sit and concentrate on them and their future, and not just sit there wishing I'd done something more constructive with my life when I had the opportunity to do so much more.
