hiya
i fell pregnant with my first babie when i was 15, i am now 16 and 8 months pregnant and i was just wondering if any of you got filthy looks from other parents or older pregnant women, as i seem to get them alot and i think it is to do with my age but the thing that bothers me most is they automatically asume that you (i) am going to be a rubbish mum because of my age.
Am i the only one...... and i don't know what to do about it because let's face it i don't want to be rude.
i had my baby 3 weeks ago n im only 15 n i got so many dirty looks from ppl. i also look very young. i h8 the way ppl think young mums cnt be gud parents cos they cn be. like loads of other older mums n dads r sometimes bad parents. so y does every1 assume young mums are bad parents.

Haha I get looks on a daily basis, not to mention the teens I used to go to school with calling me down all the time, people preaching at me from nowhere. & the worst yet is everybody telling me how to raise MY baby!
But I personally think everyody is entitled to their own beliefs therefore I will keep my chin up high and pay them no heed. We will all make wonderful parents no doubt.

im 15 on april 2nd and 12 weeks pregnant. i think its stupid people are so quick to judge. ive been with my boyfriend for 8months and i was on the pill so it was conpletely unexpected yet people still think they have the right to judge me and think im a slut. people look down on young mums but i think they should be helping and supporting them because its one of the hardest (but most rewarding) things youll ever have to do.
at first i wasnt too happy with being pregnant but its really grown on me. im so excited!
good luck to all the other teen mums you have my support all the way

I'll be honest with you. I think it depends on where you live. That's the case for me. There are A LOT of teen Mum's where I live and most of them seem like really bad Mum's. All of them are on welfare, popping out children for money. In Australia we receive $5,000 for each baby we have. I see a lot of children in dirty, too big/too small clothes. The parents are addicted to drugs and alcohol.
BUT THAT'S THE AREA I LIVE IN, AND IT IS LIKE THIS IN OTHER PLACES IN AUSTRALIA.
But do I think teens are bad parents? It really does depend on the person. I think teens can be great Mum's just as older Mum's can be as well.

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with being a teen mom. I'm only three weeks into my pregnancy with my first child and i feel proud that i've made my own decisions so u shud be proud of urself 2.
