I am completely sick of..

Some people are quick to assume things hun. Just walk on bye with your head held high knowing that the child is your sister, they are the ones who are in the wrong after all and you and your mum know the truth dont let it bother you hunni i wouldnt good luck x

Some people find it easy to judge others dont let it bother you. You are doing such a good thing helping your mother out by looking after the baby. I think it is easier for people to sit and quickly assume the baby is yours rather than use their minds a little in that the baby could belong to anyone.

In all honesty, i'm not a silent person. If that was me i'd hold my head up high look them straight in the face and tell them "This is my little sister, and your being rude!" But thats just me, people can be very irritating.

Yeah I know people are too judgemental these days. I mean even if she was your daughter they need to mind their own business they probably have more problems than you can even know. The same thing happened to me. But I was with my daugher and my younger sister and it took place last year. My baby sister looks like me and a taxi driver saw her and said congratulations with a smirk. And i'm like he did not just do that. But then my mother told me that the baby was hers. I mean how stupid and ignorant can people be? These are people that have no live and just enjoy ruining other people's life.

My wife is an L&D nurse so when she helps deliver a baby from a baby it saddens her, mostly if she sees the family unsupportive and knows the child will have to grow up not getting all the love they need. Your case just shows that society doesn't know or doesn't like the thought of a young girl with a baby. People don't know, and they judge according to what they don't know. Sing a little song to your sister and include the word "sister" in it so if people over hear, and they'll be listening, they'll know that its your little sister and they'll hopefully know how much you love her and love taking care of her. I'm not suggesting this is a cop-op to what people might think but it will sure make them think twice about making a comment. This is a special time in your life and your sisters, and your mom's too. Don't let a few people who don't know anything about the situation ruin it for you. Keep your head high big sister! You have little feet that will soon follow.

I feel you. I am a teenage mother, so I know how it feels to have dirty looks and the baby actually is yours. But there isn't much you can do, if you talk back to them, it's like your some little kid who can't handle little comments people make, you ignore them, and it's like proving them right by not defending yourself. Best thing that helped me was just ignore it, to the point where I hardly even noticed anyone pointing fingers and what not. It's hard to start doing it, but once you find your identity, know you're a better person for what you do to help your mother is when you'll be able to let it all go.

Because people are nosy and don't know how to keep their opinions to themselves. You should hold your head up high because they are making false assumptions and judgments. You have done nothing wrong. It's kind of funny because my best friend had her baby at 17 and every time she would go out with her people assumed it was her little sister. She would get so irritated. They would actually go up to her and tell her what a good big sister she is to be taking her baby sister to the park every day. When she'd tell them the baby was hers they'd freak out and give her dirty looks and not want to talk to her anymore. Her attitude was "screw 'em." Of course, that might have been because she looked like she was 12 (just has one of those young faces). She's an excellent mother, by the way. Her daughter is almost 9 and she is 26 and she is my hero (and I'm 5 years older then her). The funniest time was when the 2 of us took the kids to the park. I had my 3 (they were about 1, 2 and 3 at the time). She had her daughter (who was 4) and her cousin that she babysat (who was 2). Everyone was staring at us trying to decide who the mother was. She looked about 16 (even though she was 21) and I looked like I was 20 (even though I was 26). It was a riot. So don't feel bad. Even adults get crap like that every day.

This is the times we live in, where teenage pregnancy and teen motherhood is abundant, I know a teenage girl as well whose mother had a baby at 39 too. Now this young lady is a very outspoken young women and when people look at her she puts them on the spot and ask them if there is a problem. They are so embarrassed that they turn away or ask how old is her baby, and she politely tells inquiring minds that it is her brother. Her mother goes through the same thing they think the baby is her grandchild and she nicely explains that it is her son. Keep your head up stay positive and confident and do not give them your energy act like you don't notice them, you don't know them anyway and you don't owe them anything. It doesn't matter what these strangers think, you are doing a good thing helping your mother and little sister. Just concentrate on being the best daughter and big sister you can.

Your going to have to face it...Most people are ignorant and that is not your fault...just ignore them and know that you are better than them because you are not hasty to judge without knowing.....

Some people are just like that, I guess. Although nobody has the right to judge anybody for anything that they have done. I do know the feeling of being judged because of my age. Even now when I am at my 20's. The fact that I already have 2 babies is a LOT for others to handle. Most people who react that way are those who have learned the hardship of raising babies and struggling to put food on the table. I know that now. There are those, also, who simply just judge others because they assume that THAT person must be sexually active or something, and they roll their eyes to kingdom come thinking what the world is coming to. I understand your point of view, and I think you shouldn't mind those people who give you those looks. You know the truth, and if I were you, you shouldnt care much even if they call you names or gossip or something. Besides, you're not the one looking stupid for talking about something you dont know..right? :) Take good care of your sis! Help your mom. It is a hard world out there...
