i hate the way they make us out to be so bad

does it matter about our age! i really dont like being made to feel like a rubbish mum x

no matter how much of a good mum people are they will always be judged on their age by programms like this who never give a balanced argument.

this is one reason ive just stopped watching rubbish like this.

i got pregnant at 19 now 21 and my sons 13 months and the amount of dirty looks i get is unreal i also get asked "are u with the dad still?" which i reply yes im bloody married

I hate when they put things like this on.. its totally one sided.
It depends on everyones seperate situation. Its hard at any point to be a mum, doesn't matter about your age. I see plenty of 'older' mums that shouldn't even be allowed to reproduce but no one nags about them do they?
A teen mum can be more capable of looking after a baby and be a better mum than a woman in her 30's. Its ridiculous.xx

omg, it shouldn't be about age, its about what type of mum you are..

i choose to have sex and i chose to come off the pill...

My mom didn't have me til she was 35. By then she was to old to play with me. Both my parents had full time jobs and I didn't spend much time with them when I was little. If I wanted someone to play with I had to go to my grandmas. She wasn't a horrible mother but she really wasn't always there for me. I think young mothers can be better because they can be there and interact with their L/O much easier then an older woman. Not to mention all the complications with birth when you have one when your older. My mother had to have a C section.
Our bodies are made to have a child young! It's how they did it 1000s of years ago. This day and age just looks on it as a bad thing. But why!? Your body is ready and more prepared for a baby at 16 then at 30...

about how young girls are gettin preggers, cos there's no sex education..

moomin_troll · Nov 5th, 2009, 08:59 AM

a lack of sex education is not to blame for a raise in teen pregnancy at all!

its common sence to use a condom just some people not all teens choose not to use anything out of disregard for their own bodies.

its the same with everything in life afew people will "ruin" things for everyone else.
like some teen parents are terrible and dont have 2 brain cells to rub together, like my little sister she was bought up in the same house i was and is thick as sh*t and is sexualy active at a very young age where as i waited and was sensible. no matter what we say to her shes playing with fire not using condoms even tho we have drilled it into her that she should.

but then again there are "adults" who are terrible people and shouldnt be able to have children but because of their age its supposed to be ok
