Hi! This is a topic who is very important to me. i'm a young mother, i was pregnant with 17. my boyfriend was at this time 18 years old. it was the most beautifulest thing that ever happen to us. we was so happy about it, to know that we became parents. ok i have to say honestly, that we were in tis time not long toghether, but it was a desire from both of us, that came deep from our heart. seriously both of us feelt so ready to take over this large responsibility and we know real good what we done ;) and that a baby changes everything in our life. hey a baby is a human and we need to take care over it. it's not like a puppet who you can put away when you don't like to do something with it you know what i mean? of course whe know what we done =) and we was so happy about this. the pregnancy was very nice and i enjoy it every day. the feeling if a baby moves and pedal inside a belly is like there are some butterflys inside or something like that =). just fantastic. but sometimes it was very hard too, because of this looking from the peoples. sometimes they look at me from head, down to the feets and make some rejecting mimiks. the first time it stress me very but with the time i changed my mind because....whatever they don't know us and how we goes this things on. we was so curious whether it is a boy or a girl lol. we wanted simply to make everything correct, like parents do this. then we know it is a boy!!! we give him the name justin, because it sounds so beautifull and we love the meaning of this name. yeah we was very hopeful and anxiously, that everything will become well. justin was born 09/28/2002 and we was so thankfull, that everything is ok with him and the birth was the awesomest and painfullst expierience i ever had in my life lol. oh yeah we was so proud of him and he is the cutest baby we ever seen. OUR SON...WOW what a feeling. of course we are proud of him yet, now he's a 4 year little boy and he became to a very nice and good boy =). and yeah i'm still with his father toghether =). it is so beautifull to have this family and i'm very thankfull for everything...i'm very happy that all this happen and i never would change this or repent what happen. i can say i have a happy family, of course with up and downs, but we do everything for him and for our family. omg i can tell you so much more about this but i write a book here hehe. so thats a lil bit from my story. so hey let me know when there are some young parents out there, who wants describe and tell us their own story. i know there are some good and bad expiriences from parents or peoples around them and i think we need more to talk about this topic. everyone who are interesting about this topic are invited to write their own meanings about that. i'm exciting about every answere. thx =)

Teen parents make me sick. Teen pregnancy is the epitome of irresponsibility. It's all the more irritating when people get all happy and excited about it as if it were the greatest thing that could ever happen and not the dumbest cr@p a teenager can pull. The lives of my fiance and I were ruined due to this level of stupidity. HIs parents chose their 16 year-old, high school drop-out son who got his 17 year-old high school drop-out girlfriend knocked up over their 21 year-old, hard-working college student son. It's disguting and rediculous.

thx a lot for the answeres. both of you had totaly right, but i think that "older" parents can be bad parents too. of course young parents have not a lot of life expiriences, but every human make others expiriences in their life. for me it's was important to make the desicion for my kid and not against him. we're father and mother like every other parents too. just a lil bit younger. everybody who knows us, see that we are parents with our flesh and soul. to be older is not a garantie to be good parents. i hate it when people make kidz and don't take care about it. i think it's so harm that you don't know us personally =(. i think you will see that we are great parents and that our son is a very good educated kid. for us are things important in the educadet, like for every other parents too =). i know a lot of arisen people who had young parents too. they grow up like every other kid. but i know also that some young parents neglect their children and i'm very sad about this, because the people got the meaning that every young parents are bad parents. of course we are not perfect, but how many people out there are perfect? hey i'm glad to see that both of you are interesting about this topic. thx for your meanings =)

I think maybe... possibly you are bitter because you say your life with your fiance was ruined due to the 16 year old "drop out son" got a girl pregnant. Well, maybe you just need to accept that it's not the pregnancy, it's the parents of your fiance that your mad at. It's not because these two kids had a child. See how older parents are stupid? Get my point? It's not about teen pregnancy here. I think your just bitter, which you have every total right to be hon. But don't blame it on young teens, blame it on the older parents! (In this particular case). Greets from Switzerland.

I understand your anger. That is horrible of her. I'm just trying to point out that not all young parents are like this. I just try to see this view overall. Some are like this, and some aren't. I'm just sorry for your exeriance. That's really awful. My heart goes out to you. I knew someone as well that got pregnant just to get on welfare. That made me sick. But I saw my friend Jen and that made me see teen pregnancy in a whole other light. However, I discourage these young girls doing it for other reasons than wanting to be a parent and love the father, ect. xo

Simply put, young parents are just that, young. With that said, they more often than not lack the necessary life experience required to raise a child correctly. Then again, it's that sort of experience that can make you a man or a woman. It's a double-edged sword, really.
