When I think back to when I was 16 years old wanting to be older, and be able to go out to the bars with my friends it never crossed my mind that in 2 years I would be a MOTHER!!! When I was in my graduating year of high school I found out I was pregnant and considering my situation, and all the support I thought I had I went through with the pregnancy, and on Dec 13 I had a baby boy named Adam! I feel as if my life is going no where now. My mom is pressureing me to spend more time with my son, but I am studying business at a local college and I work full time nights. I feel trapped, and guilty for not being there for my son. I just want to know if there are any other young moms out there who can share there experiances.

Since i was young, I am soa fraid of bigger responsibility. So, I did not jump into any situation which I know i am not ready yet. Including marriage. I married on my early twenties. Because I prepared myself first in all aspects. When the time came and I taught I am ready already to become a wife and a mom, that's the only moment I decided to get married.

Good for you for having the baby! Good for you for going to school to do something better with your life! Good for you for working! I know it is all hard, but you really must try and spend as much time with your son as possible. While things aren't easy, and I am sure you feel like you have lost a portion of you "fun" years, but you have to be there for him. He deserves all that you can give him and probably more. I wish you the best of luck and hope that you find peace with your life. Children are a gift, cherish them while they are young, since time goes so quickly and one day you will be looking back and wondering where their youth went.

Being a mother outside of marriage will always be met with difficulties and troubles. That's the price of being so adventurous! Your mom was right! You have the guts to be in what you are now, then face the responsibility. Accept your fault and do your part as a mother. It is difficult, I know but don't despair. Fix your life and start all over again! This time with God. Your son has a good name, let it be the same with his life...
