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?

Why I signed up, the history of my pregnancy scare...

Posted by vampire_girl19959 in worrying pregnancy

This is why I joined the site... ( I am aware this is very long btw lol)

I'm fourteen years old, I have a boyfriend that I love more than anything and I know he feels the same, and I thought I might be pregnant.  Please don't judge me, I don't smoke or do drugs. I very rarely drink and it's never behind my parents back and I never get drunk.  I live alone with my mum and I see my dad on weekends, they haven't been together since before I was born, although I know it wasn't because of me coming along... My mum was 29 when she had me and my dad was 30 or 31, I forget, and I know they love me very much.  My mum has always been very overprotective and wasn't happy about me seeing my boyfriend as he is in the year above me.  During the summer she stopped caring because she got a new boyfriend and she just didn't pay any attention to me as she was so smitten with her new lover, although they only lasted a few months after he treated her badly ruined our holiday and she found out he had some strange mental disorders... By this point I'd had sex with my boyfriend, but we were safe and with us both losing our virginity then we kinda failed a bit lol.

Growing Up

Posted by liquidsunshine13 in worrying pregnancy

I think the hardest part of finding out you're pregnant is the worrying. Worrying about telling your boyfriend, your family, your friends. Worrying about the future, money, education, jobs, a place to live. My first thought was "this is a life sentence." I am going to have something that i can never walk away from when it frustrates me, or break up with when i cn't be bothered
