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?

I am looking for people who are willing to tell their stories for a book for teenage mothers and fathers. Your name wouldn't be with your story so people wouldn't know that it's you unless you want them to know. I would also love some pictures, but don't feel pressured. I am going to be getting it published once it's done and i would love for other teenagers to hear other peoples

So a little bit of an update...I finally found a (very very VERY tiny) flat for me and my husband-to-be...words cannot express the pick-and-mix of emotions I am feeling right now. All good mind you, but just crazy. I'm someone who has never really had to be truely independant of my Mum. And while there were times when I stayed at my fiance's place when he moved reallty far away (sometimes

Today I told Lamar that I really didn't want to get the abortion and he has been acting so selfish. All he talks about is how it's going to ruin his life. HE doesn't consider my feelings and the risk of an abortion,not to mention the emotional downfall that I'm going to have after I get the abortion(if I get one). He has the nerve to tell me he doesn't want to hurt his current
