Phew, reading this thread has hurt my head! I think it may have gotten a little out of hand! Being a teen mum myself I know very well people have mixed feelings. I didn't plan my pregnancy, I was on the Pill at the time. But I don't think it's fair to judge. Teen mums are usually stereotyped in such a negative way but at the end of the day many of them do as good a job of raising a child as someone in their 30's.

However everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to be honest, it doesn't bother me what other people think. I'm happy just to live my own life and let them live theirs

The thread got very much out of hand and not just the replies on here but also the behind the scenes stuff...

After giving the girl advice,people started to express their opinion on her age.I wouldn't say that she was attacked in this thread,but it all ended up badly,with some personal insults thrown around...
As I said,I don't judge anyone,especially teen moms,being one my self and I think that they can do such an amazing job with their kids.Nothing makes us less mothers than a person in their 20s,30s,40s...

Again,the mods and admins did a great job with the situation,really,I applaud them!
I would go crazy too!I almost did in my position,I'm sure if I was Wobbles,I'd water hose my computer...

Let this be a lesson to all of us!

Well I've considered myself well and truly told! And I only read some of the things in detail but I agree with the decision to ban sao as she shouldn't really have said some of the things she did

Sao didn't just went out of line on this thread but also later in the chatroom.I don't know if you saw this on here but she said nasty things about Wobbles...

I don't know if you said that you recognized yourself in some mean comments(I may have misunderstood).I'm truly sorry if I said something that may have offended you...

Amy, i don't know you, but i don't think you've anything to worry about. Like you said, you are a teen mum yourself, so i think if anyone can be objective on a thread like this, it would be people, such as you who are in that situation already!!

I second what has been said- Wow! What a thread. I generally stay off the teen sight just because it can hit a chord in me...but couldn't help but notice all the posts on this one and had to see what it was all about! Quite entertaining Also interesting to see all the opinions. I have to agree with you, Amy (I think), that it is one thing to plan a pg at 16 and other for it to be an accident. And planning or accident has no relation to how good of a mother one will be- they are unrelated issues. There are certain life experiences to be had from the age of 16 to let's say 30, that I would not have chosen to miss. However, had I ended up pg at 16, I'm sure I would have been a great mother and could not have regretted what I missed because I wouldn't know what it is I missed (if that makes ANY sense at all). I also don't judge teens who do get pg, planned or unplanned- it is their choice to make. Amy, you are a good person to speak on the topic, being young yourself. Great job on not getting nasty back

I've got to jump in and say this comment is very unfair, yes there has been alot of criticism in this thread none however that is personal.You have no idea how it comes about that someone gets pg, if its un planned. Yes it could be that they didn't bother with contraceptives but its not always the case, and i find your post to be very judgemental, personal and unfair.

I don't think I was offended personally by any of the comments made by you but I appreciate that you apologised just incase

I did read the things she'd been saying in the chatroom about Wobbles which I found very childish and immature.
