What teenager ever thinks she would be a mother by the age of 17 let alone a mother of three by the time she was 21? A bet a lot of them don't. I know I didn't. At the age of 16, I became just another teenage statistic, a statistical momma. That was in 2001. Back then there were no TV shows of teenage pregnancy glamorizing the epidemic or even TV movies like "The Pregnancy Pact" to scare the thoughts of having babies out of young girls' minds. Those things didn't come along until I was 22 and two kids later. If I would have saw those shows back then, I would have definably gave sex a third and fourth thought .

I was young and naive. You never think it would happen to you. I am so tired of seeing these girls from 16 and Pregnant being thrown all around in the media and being paid major cash to be a statistical momma. I work hard for to take care of the babies I brought into this world and trust me when I say I have sacrificed everything for them. Is it fair that so many teenage parents are struggling and they get to be put on a pedestal for going through the "babymomma" and "babydaddy" drama. I don't think so. Why not try to help these teenage parents be all they can be and be role models for their children. Give them some counseling and some skills training, instead of teaching them to pose for a magazine cover. These are just some thoughts. We all know what sells. So can you expect anything more?

My issues are sort of different.  I've been in a relationship with the same man off and on for 10 years.  We have a 7 year old child.  And we've lived together for the last three years.  Everything is in our names together.  We are what you consider "common law" married.   I am not very young, and not in school.  I am a working full time.  

My home life hasn't been very happy lately.  I guess it comes with being with someone for so long.  We had been fighting alot, and decided to seperate.  During one of our moments of making up, I ended up getting pregnant.  We were careful-using condoms.  But I still got pregnant.   When I first suspected being pregnant, I took a pregnancy test.  It was negative.  But my cycle never came, so I took another-in fact 3 tests-all positive.  I just sat there and cried.  Here I am preparing to move out on my own, and this happens.  I didn't know what to do and I was afraid to tell him. 

I had just got back from a trip from vegas. I went for my birthday, to see my Godmother. I turned 17.  The trip was long and hot, and more so i was nausteated the whole while. which was new for me because i never get sick in the stomach. when i went to school that monday veryone began to notice changes, besides the nausea, i was sleeping and wasnt my full energetic self. And one of my teachers

I was a Junior in college when I found out I was pregnant -- just over 20 years old, with my entire future ahead of me.  I had been seeing the father of my baby for almost 3 years.  I was very deeply in love with him and at one time I thought that we would spend the rest of our lives together.  But our relationship had always been tumultuous.  He was emotionally unstable and

To be very honest, I cannot believe I am writing this. However, I need to share my story with someone because I constantly feel like I am hiding who I am. I feel like I need to be with people who know how I feel and I guess this site is the only thing I have found that seems good enough. So here is my story. I really hope it helps someone in some way and might make someone's decision a little

I finally decided to write my story,  i will do my best with my english..

When I was 16  was constantly raped by a closer person, after a few months I got pregnant, and he made me say that the father was my ex bf, who was a very good person but I wasnt having sex with him. He made me do that by threatening me for almost 3 months that I stay in my hometown. My
