I have only been on mylot for a matter of 2-3 days. I post a story, after reading so many others about teenage pregnancy. I read mothers, friend, cousins, all, looking for hope. I grew enough "balls" to tell my story. Only to tell it, and give my first hand truth, and show 1 positive side to tell girls. Not that teenage pregnancy is good! It is completely frowned upon by all of society today. My point was, to give hope to the girls that were already to far to turn around. Thats it!! I feel that there is always hope in a situation like this. I was only trying to give a few girls in serious trouble a "somewhat" positive look on life. I feel that if you tell your story, with meaning behind it, why should anyone judge you, if they have not lived your life, or been through what you have been through? I was trying to shine a little bit of light, thats all.

Though this discussion had been posted 2 months ago and I know it's kinda late for me to drop in, i just can't help responding. I read the discussion you were talking about and found that gal evil. I hate her. I read one of her discussion she posted and I respect her choice of not getting pregnant but I got offended when she mentioned she's disgusted with pregnant women and kids. I can't blame her if she's disgusted with most kids but being disgusted with pregnant women just because she can't stand the feeling of something moving inside her body if she gets pregnant is something really makes me boil. She haven't experienced the thing yet, it's just a pigmentation of her rotting brain. She even disrespected someone from her discussion just because that person is trying to change her mind about pregnancy. When someone change my mind I just go on with the flow of the discussion but I don't get disrespectful. I think that gal is sick in the head. Someday she'll end up all alone and she will never be happy. That husband she has now, I have feeling one day he will leave her whether or not her husband doesn't like kids. I wanted to respond to her discussion too but it's just not worth my time. No wonder her username is GloomCookielex. She's gloomy all her life.

Yea I know exactly what you are saying, the girl was completely disgusted at the fact that one woman who said "no kids", quickly changed her mind when she felt that baby inside her. The girl seems very defensive about her choice. Why not be proud of it and not fight about it just because other women chose something different? Something the girl needs to think about is, if it weren't for "those disgusting pregnant women and kids" she wouldn't even be walking on what we call Earth. And if she doesn't want to be here, maybe she's went through a bad child hood... its sad if so. But it would explain alot. But you never insult someone that has chosen something different than you. And she shouldn't disrespect someone that is debating with her on the topic. Its a very sensitive subject. If she doesn't wanna see disagree she shouldn't post at all about the subject... because you will get it no matter what.

I got pregnant with mu son when i was 16, i was scared about how i would able to cope with a baby but i managed just fine, i'm a good mum and though i did miss out on a lot of teenage things like partying etc its really worth it and I'm so happy i had him.
Teenage parents get judged, patronized and criticized so much, though most of us are really good parents. Its mostly just prejudice.

Thank you everyone! That really wasn't totally my point! My point was I was being "attacked" by telling my story. Being brand new here, and seeing so many posts about people being scared about teenage pregnancy, be it themselves, a friend, a child, a cousin. I was just trying to help people to realize there can be an upside. For this I was called "contradictive". The person sounded disgusted with me. It's not fair to judge, if you have never walked a mile in their shoes. As for teenage pregnancy, no one has the right to judge, unless they have faced it themselves! Thank you for the support!
