I had my son when I was 15. Don't mind people who look at you funny! As long as your child is healthy and you take good care of him/her and yourself don't care what other people think! I get a lot of pressure from people my age calling me names and making fun of my child and "feeling sorry" for my child because I'm young. To be honest, all i tell them is "You know you're doing the same thing I did to get pregnant, you're just lucky it hasn't happened to you yet". It's ridiculous how disrespectful people are! You keep doing what you're doing to take care of your child! Good luck!

I was 14 when i got pregnant & had my daughter at 15. Now i am 16 & my daughter is just 7 months. (: People always look at me funny & give me dirty looks i just shrug it off. It's not any of their business it's mine , i know i'm a good mother. && all of these women commenting uncluding YOU are as well !! We do well for ourselves. And the older women have no room to judge. This is society , life goes on. Just keep your chin up & keep loving that little boy like you already do ♥ Good luck girl :D

I was 17 when I got pregnant (on the pill) & 18 when I had her. I am 23 now. I was still in high school so I heard all of the horrible things people generally say about teen moms. Being a teen mom is hard enough as it is, the negative comments just aren't worth thinking about. Put all of your energy into being the best mother you can & ignore the neigh-sayers. YOU know who you are as a person & a mother & providing the best care for your child & doing the best that you can for them is the most important thing you can do.

I was 19 when I got pregnant and 20 when I had my son Joseph and got married. I am now 21 and my husband is 23 and our son Joseph is a very happy active 1 year old. People look down on us and we hear that we should have waited because we havent had a chance to live our lives. But I dont care because Joseph is the greatest little boy that I love to death!! We also have our own place and doing well! I have learned to ignore peoples comments and just live my life! :)

i was 17 when i had my little girl and people look at me funny all the time but as long as you know you are a good mother dont worry about what other people say or think cause they dont know what it is like

I was 16 when I had my first child. No one had faith in me either, and the people who interfered caused more damage to me and my daughter than they helped. They wouldn't allow me to be strong. I had a lot to learn so I needed help, but they just took over. Continue to be the best mom you can and always, always trust your judgment.

I got pregnant when i was 16 and had my daughter when i was 17. age doesnt matter, its only number. and for ppl on here to criticize younger mothers for having sex at a young age did u ever have this thought maybe a precaution was taken and it failed! that does happen! Im a damn good mother to my child and i dont regret having her one bit! I get looks too when im out with my bf and our baby and i just look away because I myself know how good I am. I dont need other peoples approval and neither do u or any young mother for a fact. Just stay strong only we ourselves know how great we are and other people should just mind their own damn business! =]

As long as you are taking care of your child and being a good mom,dont stress about what people say. i was 19 when i fell pregnant with my first child an people thought she was my sister,still happens and i'm 28 now. im pregnant with my second and not married and people still judge. People will talk no matter what ur doing or ot doing. Live ur life! forget about them.

i think it is bad ppl having sex at 14 let alone having kids wen ur onli a kid urself i think its awful tht ppl have sex without condoms at tht age knowing full well tht ur actions will eventually lead to a baby .

i was 17 when i got pregnant with my son and had him at 18. i will be 19 next month.i also like very young for my age so ppl look at me like "what is she doing with a kid?" do like me and pay them no mind...as long as you love your child and he's healthy that's all that matters.

Leigh Ann - posted on 06/24/2010

i was 17 when i had my son.i get the same looks from ppl too. Im also married which gives even weirder looks. all i ever here is "you guys are just so young" i love when ppl state the obvious things that we cant change. dont worry bout other ppl im proud of you for keeping your baby and being a good mom. thats all that counts keeep your head up

Olivia - posted on 06/24/2010

i got pregnant at 18, but didnt have him till i was 19. i think when ur young and you actually get pregnant you tend not to look at people in a funny way if they are young and pregnant too. people just dont understand. before i probably would have thought differently. it all changes once you go through it too.

I had my first child Tyler when I was 15.I am now 25 yrs old and Tyler is 10.I also have a 2 yr old daughter and for me having a baby so young was good and bad.But I dnt regret it.I loved being a young mummy!!

Sarah - posted on 06/23/2010

I just recently had my first baby about a month ago. I was 16 and just turned 17, so I know what it feels like. Honestly, I just ignored them because I knew I was going to be an awesome mother. It also helped a lot because I had so much support. :)

Niki - posted on 06/23/2010

I know just how you feel! I got pregnant at 13 and had my son at 14. He is now 13....I used to get the same look or when I was taking the bus to school people would look at me in disgust. All that matters is that you know your a good mom and you take care of yours! Sure those people hurt but guess what all they are doing is making you a stronger person! My son is going in to 8th grade he's on the honor roll and the football team...I know I raised him right and having a baby young doesn't mean your going to be no good...I graduate myself in Aug for nursing. Just believe in your self sweetie. And you shouldn't have to act any way...you just keep on going and they'll see for themselves how good of a mama youare. Good luck!

i got pregnant at 16 had my first at 17 have great 3 kids at 23 and dont care at all what people think about my age. i am single and my children come first thats what matters. if u want a good comeback that really flips a lid... "yea ill be done raising my kids early and get to really enjoy my life and ill actually have money and no one telling me what to do" ppl stop and think wow shes right. just be a good mom let the little things go and keep ur head held high for that baby. thats what is important

I got pregnant at 14 and had my son when I was 15. I went thru my whole first year of HS pregnant. I then returned to school, finished all 4 years of HS and graduated. He is now 8 and I have 2 other sons which I had when I was 19 and 20 with my husband. (not baby #1's father) Even tho I'm not a "teenage mom" anymore (I'm 23), I'm still a young mother with 3 kids and I would never change that! It gets easier as the years pass, people WILL accept you, and life goes on. So live it for your kids!

Kymberly - posted on 06/23/2010

I was almost 19 when I got pregnant and had my daughter 4 months shy of turning 20. Even the nurses at the hospital looked at me funny because of my age, but you know what? I'm glad I'm a young mom because I'm going to be able to enjoy my children and see them graduate highschool and hopefully college. When you get pregnant at 50 you're basically dead by the time they graduate. It's all a personal choice but I'm happy with the one I made, and we are trying for number 2 now :D

i was 18..and it doesn't matter if you are 13 or 18 they say the samething..it is irratating but i know people that are in their 20's or 30's that aren't good mothers when younger women are..i just ignore them..i have to live with my decision not them..

Hi!! I was 15 when i got pregnant with my 1st, and 16 when i had her! I now have a 3yr old & a 3wk old son! My daughter will be 5 next month! I always got looks and stares, but i always ignored them, i know i'm a good mom and i love my kids to death! But now it isn't such a big deal, since most military wives have kids, so it's not a bother, but i'm 21 now.

I got pregnant at 20 and had my daughter at 21. We are currently expecting a little boy. So basically 2 babies within a year. I'm going to be 22 in July and regardless of how old i am i still get looks because i look younger. All you can do is just ignore them. People like that are just looking to be nosy and have something to talk about. There not worth the time and effort. As long as your son is receiving everything he needs, food, clothes and shelter. Then don't worry about what everyone says. Its none of there business.

Ashley - posted on 06/22/2010

Don't pay attention to people like that. Brush it off if u doing what u need to do for ur child then that is all that matters. My mother was a young mom at 16 and i think she is an amazing mom. i just turned 22 and i have 9 month old twins and i feel that if ur children are the # 1 in ur life then everything else will follow.

Amber - posted on 06/22/2010

13 is a very young age but does not make you a bad mother. as long as you have been taking care of yourself and your son then don't bother listening to anyone else

Tegan - posted on 06/22/2010

I got judged for being 19 when I had my son.... Me and my fiance were trying for 6 months.... we planned on having kids early, so we could grow up with them and experience them while we were still young...
I say congratz to dealing with all the pressure of being a young mother! Age doesn't determine your ability to be a great mum!

Jennifer - posted on 06/22/2010

NOW THAT YOU ARE AMOTHER YOU HAVE TO FOCUS YOURSELF ONLY FOR YOUR CHILD...OTHER PEOPLES POINTS ARE INVALID & IF ABLE POLITELY LET THEM KNOW....IF U CANT THEN IGNORE THEM...I WAS 19 when i got preg & 20 when i gave birth(sm look at me odd but thats no concern)...ALTHOUGH MANY PPL WILL WONDER THE CAPABILITY OF SOMEONE SO young being responsible you prove it by what you do....NO MATTER CONTINUE TO BETTER YOURSELF EDUCATIONAL OR OTHER ANY CHANCE YOU HAVE ITS A LNG LIFE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD ALSO SHOW RESPONSIBILTY BY TAKING ACTION & PREVENT MR KIDS NEAR FUTURE!!! (IN MY EYES YOUR FISRT ACTION OF RESPONSIBILITY CAME WHEN YOU CHOSE TO CONTINUE PREG...NO 1 KNOWS YOU OR YOUR SIT...PPL ARE JUDGEMENTAL SO DNT BOTHER) ~ sm bettr mother come younger some do no not age doest determine responsibity or lack of...just take good care of yourself and little one =)

Hi Precious, I know how you feel. I got pregnant when I was 15, and had my son when I was 16. I'm 28 now. I raised my son by myself without assistance. I finish school and have a very well paying job. And I still get the comments. I look very young. So when I say I have a 12 yr old, the next question I get is how old are you. Your best bet is to ignore it. Take the pride in the great mother you are. If they ask your age, say old enough. :)

Alison - posted on 06/22/2010

dnt worry about aother ppl as long as u kno ur doing the best u can thats all that matters and tell them that ppl used 2 get married and have babies all the time when they were ur age so dnt judge u. i found out when i was 18 and had my son and ppl still look at me like that and thats wat i tell them and they shut up real quick when u syand up 4 ur self

Alicia - posted on 06/22/2010

well they shouldn't change their mind bc of your age. You are a it young to have kids but the point is that you have a child and you are raising it and being a good mom. age has nothing to do with that

I was almost 18 when i got pregnant so i will be 18 when i have my daughter in August. If it makez u feel any better teen pregnancy pretty much runz in my family. The girlz in my generation of my family like me and my sister and my cousinz, all the girlz except 1 got pregnant when they were still teenagerz. One of my cousinz got pregnant at 13 or 14, she started the trend. lol. Every time one of us getz prego my grandpa alwayz has something to say. So dont worry about what other ppl think. If they think ur a good mother before they kno ur age then ur a good mother, not that their opinion matterz but i bet ur a great mother. Teenage motherz just have a lot more hardshipz to deal with than older women, it doesnt mean that we r any different at raising our kidz.

Nicole - posted on 06/21/2010

I got pregnant when I was 17, and i will be 18 when our baby girl arrives. i'm pretty good at blocking peoples snide comments out anyway, since i was always the girl who dressed funny and was loud and just had fun..but no matter what they say, if you know your a good mommy, then just brush it off. keep your chin up girl

Jessica - posted on 06/21/2010

i was 16 when i got pregnant, and i thought i couldnt do it because i was so young.. but everything changes once your baby is in this world. good 4 u for going through with it so young! dont listen to the people who only have bad things to say..

Nekia - posted on 06/21/2010

i would be a little upset by that as well. people dont understand that age has nothing to do with it. u can be 15 and still have more of a maternal instinct than i d do at 21. it is all about the mothers level of maturity. not her age. but i was got pregnant at 17 and had my son one week before my 19th birthday

i was 19 when i got pregnant, & i will have my little girl in Oct. im 20 yrs. now. But dnt let what others say defend you, or make you look at yourself twice. I was 15 when i got pregnant the first time, but it didnt make it...i would've been 16 when in labor. But ppl way im to young to be having a baby, when truth be told they themselves my have had a baby when they were my age. i just look at it as, they are ignorant to the way the world is today. be strong for youa nd your son. YOUR A GOOD MOTHER, NOT BECAUSE THEY SAY YOU ARE, BUT BECAUSE YOUR RASING YOUR SON THE RIGHT WAY, YOU DIDNT GIVE UP, HAVE A ABORTION, OR THROW HIM OFF ON SOMEONE ELSE.
HOPE EVERYTHING GETS BETTER FOR YOU
