how do you feel about teenage pregany?

im a 17 year old mother i have a gorgues liitle boy name tyson he is my sunshine in my life,
i try to be the best mother i can be it gets so hard sometimes i get alot of looks from older people and it brings me down sometimes,
i still have the father were happy and engagad we have been together since 7th grade im really cut about about how some people think about me how do you feel?

Oh well.. since you two are getting married then that is GREAT! I would feel bad for you if you were a single teenage mother.. I know how hard it can get. But....getting pregnant before marriage... my religion doesn't allow it. but hey... you know.. you're old enough at least and you're getting married. I hope you two live happily together. :D

I had my oldest son when I was 17. I do not recommend it; however, you already have the baby and now you have to do your best to provide for him in every way.

It is difficult, but it is very rewarding and the investments and sacrifices you make for your child are more than worth it!

Best wishes my dear

Well, for me it depends. I'm against people having babies at a young age because a lot of abortions happen this way, but really it's not a problem if you can handle it. My friend's sister had a baby at age 15, and she's one of the happiest people I know. She now has two kids, a loving husband, and is on the way to a successful career. She's a great mother, and I really respect her because she had to be so strong to get through everything.

Just ignore the looks you get from people. They don't know what you've had to go through, so they really have no right to judge you like that. I'm sure you'll be a great mother! Stay strong!!!

I'm very happy for you :)

I don't think it's smart to go and purposely get pregnant at such a young age(unless married), but if it happens and the person is happy about it than I'm happy. I can't think of a greater blessing than a child.

God Bless,

I'm happy for you too. Since 7th grade that's cute! My 15 year old cousin is 5 months pregnet right now and she's turning 16 in may and her baby's due June. She's having a baby boy too named Daven. I can't wait either. I'm not very happy with who the dad is, they're still dating..but he got her pregnet only after a month of them dating. He's also 19 wich is just an even bigger problem to me. But I have to deal with it. Don't worry about what other people think. I've learned a lot these past months my couisn has been pregnet..everyone thinks I'm the same. But she really is a good person, she's staying in school, she makes good grades, and she'd be a great mom. I'm sure you are too. So grown ups are too sterotypicall with that. Just becuase you're a teenage mom means you're a bad perosn. I wish you and your fiance the best of luck. And keep strong.

A marriage and children is absolutely fine. I wish you the best. And pay no mind to the hoodliums that wish they had your love. =]

But, the ones that just sleep around for the fun of it... That's another story. I could go on all day about how I feel, but I got in trouble for it last time. But, I'm pretty sure you can guess how I feel about it.

Have a nice day. And good luck with your future! May everything be peaceful. xx

thank you so much guys
your advice and coments has made me feel better already thank you

Very few people live storybook lives anymore,while it may not be the perfect way to start out,I have a lot of respect for the way you are handling the situation,you chose to keep him, you love him, you can hear it in your words, you are with the father and plan a future with him, be proud ,you`ve handled it well,ignore the looks,not all of us older people see it that way,good luck!

I'm totally happy that you're happy about it! I mean, yeah, I still don't like 14 year-olds having sex, but I like it when people like you take responsibility and treat it as a gift. What I DON'T like is teenagers getting each other preganant, and then treating it as some annoyance that they have to put up with. Thank you for not being like that.

i'm not too for it or against it. my best friend just had a baby girl in december and shes 17 too. and when her boyfriend found out she was pregnant he broke up with her cause he didnt want a kid and i dont believe in abortion, so she didnt have one. but she made me godmother =], so that makes me happy. and also now shes with another guy who also has a son who is a 7 months old and now my friend is pregnant again. ugh.

I think that as long as they are responisible fine. I mean, I won't say every teen parent is horrible.

i'm glad ur guy gav ur side--and you two are engaged!!--hapy for you guy..always be like this!

as long as the baby hav the father and mother--no worries for me

What the hell is pregany?

You shouldn't care what others think. it's your life to control. not there's. let them have there opinions. if your still together then obviously the descision wasn't all that bad. and you obviously love your child so ignore everyone who thinks you are whatever they think of you. i personaly think that you are great for keeping your family together. and luving your child and future husband. so do what you feel is best. :)

Let's keep it dead simple, shall we?

Keep your pickel in your pants until you're both ready.

Thank you.

Motherhood can be tough no matter what your age ,I was alomost 22 when I had my first and if it weren't for my parents I don't know what i would have done.I think people should leave teen mums alone ,as I said its a tough job and they do well.The only shame is that they are giving up their life and the change to have fun before being tied down.

I feel...if it happens, it happens. I'm 16 and I have a baby, and it's really not that bad.

I have nothing against teen pregnancy, having nearly been there myself. Accidents can happen despite using all the correct contraception.
But only if it's in a loving relationship, things were done right and the teens are mature and sensible

Young teens who get pregnant due to stupidity and not using the right contraception are idiot's. Especially when they gte pregnant for the benefits and money. What losers.

My opinion =)

I don't feel that teen pregnancy is something evil or horrible or whatever. People have the right to make their own choices and it is not my place or (in my opinion) anyone's place to call them immoral. I do feel sorry for them though. It can screw up someones life so fast.
