So I was a teen mom, I got pregnant when i was 15 and had my son 2 months after my 16th birthday. My parents although dissapointed were supportive and so was my sons dad. The rest of my family however didnt have high expectations for me and made it clear they though the birth of my son meant the end of my life that i could not make anything of myself that we could not support our family. For me pregnancy and birth of my son gave me the motivation and strenght i needed to move forward and excel in school. I gradtuated high school, I have a collage diploma for web design, my sons father who I am still with has been employed for eight years with the same company. We have been able to give our son a good life we recently bought our first house, and yes i lost a little of my teen years, but I feel like i have gained so much more, I lost friends but made new ones. Everyting happens for a reason and there is a reason my son is here. We can do anything we want if we just put our minds to it. I now have an great hubby and an amazing 6 year old son and i dont regret for a second.

I got pregnant when i was eighteen. I had my son when i was nineteen. Although my plans changed once having him i don't regret having a child young. It made me a better person i think. My sister is due any day now she is about to be eighteen. She is a problem. And i tell her when that baby comes it will change everything in your life. Things will never be the same. I loved my change though.

It is absolutely a change but change dosnt always have to be bad. Is she thinks positively about the situation she can make the best of it and have a succesful life whatever her version of success may be. I wish her all the best.
