I feel kind of like the same way, tho i wasnt really the party girl, first time i ever failed a class was RIGHT after i found out i was pregnant. My problem was i was looking for love in all the wrong ways.. i was molested when i was younger
and im a firm believer that thats why i felt like i needed boyfriends and physical relationships. Tho i am still with my daughters father, its been up and down but weve been married a little over 2 years and have created the life we wanted for our daughter because no matter how hard it gets we have to stay strong because we do love eachother and i want to show my daughter that love can overcome all odds =]

*Party* - posted on 02/22/2013

My Story is long , So I'll try to shorten it xD

I am sixteen .
Have been in foster care for four years now .
When I was little I raised my two brothers ,
and when I was eight or nine I raised the neighbor's son
because she was out partying all of the time .
I moved to this new town right before the school year ,
First day of school I met this cute wrestler kid .
A week later my sister invited him over ,
knowing that I liked him ,
and locked us in a room together so she could ... yeah
with her boyfriend lol .
So for half an hour he touched me and said a bunch of sweet things ,
the all famous " You're beautiful , I won't leave you " etc.
I kept saying "No , I don't think we should , I don't want to , I'm scared "
etc. but he would not listen , just kept ASKING ! :(
So I finally told him fine .
I cried the entire time he did it ,
but he just ignored me .
When he was finished he said , "sorry if I hurt you".
And then he sneaked out the back door and was gone .
The following Wednesday ,
he asked me out and I said yes , so we had sex again .
The next day we broke up :(
A week later he told me just to do him one last time .
Being scared of him saying something during school
or getting pissed at me , I said fine .
After that he was done using me ,
and we stopped talking completely .
I still waved to him sometimes , but he just nodded .
A month later ,
September 18th ,
I had this gut feeling that I was pregnant .
I went to the health department for a free test...
sure enough , I was pregnant :/
I called him immediately afterwards .
At first he said it wasn't his ,
I told him how he was the only person I had sex with .
He started crying ,
told me that I had to "kill it" because "it" would ruin our lives .
I told him I can't kill a baby !
The next day at school
he tried intimidating me I think .
He stood SUPER close and looked into my eyes ,
and he said that I had to be reasonable .
He said he's going to tell his parents ,
and I need to tell mine and then abort it .
I told him I have decided to keep it .
He said at least give it up for adoption ..
I told him I planned on raising it ,
and he said if I didn't get an abortion within ten days ,
he would never speak to me again .
I said " Oh , so you can go on with your perfect happy little life ,
and I have to deal with being used AND murdering my own child ? No"
and so he hates me now .
It's six months later and he still refuses to claim the child or speak to me.
His beautiful baby girl is due May 23rd .
I plan on going to court for child support ,
and of course he will demand DNA testing first .
After that proves he's the dad ,
he will pay child support .
Hopefully he will visit his daughter :(

I was 16 years old, my boyfriend and I were having unprotected sex. When i got my period we decided to try it out and on my second day of my period (i usually had 6) i ended completely. At first I just thought my period was off or something and just went on with life. Well a month and a half later I never had my period and went to get a pregnancy test and I got 6 positive tests but wasn't too sure until I went to the doctor. When I went to the doctor he made it official I was pregnant but it wasn't with just one it was with TWO! Now, I and my now husband, who is the baby daddy, are so grateful for our 18 month old daughter and son Adelyn and Ezekial and I couldn't ask for anything better.

I was 19 when I fell pregnant, and I too was in a serious relationship. Before falling pregannt with my son I actually fell pregnant when my boyfriend and I had been together for just five months. However, that baby wasn't to be and I lost it before it even began. However, I then fell pregnant again in July of 2008 when we had been together for eight months. We were both 19, but he did the right thing and stuck by me. We have now been together for almost four and half years, and our son Connor will be 3 next month and I will be 23. We are very happy with our little surprise and look forward to adding to our family in the future.

Well me and my boyfriend planned our baby. At the ages of 18 and 20 we decided that we wanted a family together. The person I'm having my baby with was the first one I had sex with, the first one I kissed, he was my first everything and we finally decided that we wanted to have a baby. I'm currently 5 weeks. The story with us is that I'm starting school next month on the first and right now he's in Afghanistan because he's a National Guard, he'll be home in April. When he get's here were going to move in together. We're currently engaged and we're going to get married a while after he gets home. I'm currently 19 and he's 20.

I was 19 when me and my fiance conceived our son. I had been out of high school for almost 2 years and was a full time student and worked full time. Me and my fiance had been split up a few weeks when I found out I was pregnant I was trying to figure out if being committed was what I really wanted. I did not discover I was pregnant until I was 11 weeks and the only way I did find out was I went to by new jeans and could not get into my usual size they would not button I have never had a regular period until now that I am on birth control. But me and my fiance worked things out and he was there the whole way and now we are a happy little family we are still not married but who says you have to be married to have a family? We both work full time and I go to school full time and my fiance is trying to get into the Navy. I have always wanted to be a mom I never dreamed it would be so soon but God had different plans for me. I am so blessed I couldnt ask for anything more the smile on my son's face lets me know that even though we struggle sometimes it is all worth it in the end. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and I thank God every night for putting my son in my life being a mom is the best thing in the entire world. And I always keep in mind God never gives you more than you can handle

me and my boyfriend were a year and a half living together and we wanted to start a family, at the time we were very in love, both had good jobs, i was 19 he was 20, we wanted a big family 6-8 children before we turned 30. i came off the pill in april and bascially became pregnant straight away, we both worked full time during my pregnancy, saved for all the baby equipment, a house and we even hot a holiday before daniel came along,i gave birth 23.2.09 to daniel 8 pound 7 ounces, about a month after daniels birth my realtionship went down the drain, there was lack of help from his dad, and due to dis i have been dignoased with severe postnatal depression and anxiety, his dad walked out when he was 3 months old, has broke my heart and left me completely drained, it feels like a battlefield that i cannot win,



its amazing how u can love some one so stongly u'd be devasted if harm was to come to them and in a split second its all gone, ye hate each other



im living by myself with daniel now 7 months, its really hard but wen i look at him im greatfull for what i have and happy to be his mother

Unlike you I was going down a very very very bad road. I had dropped out of high school in the first semester of year 12 and was working part time at KFC. I often didnt show up to work because i was going out partying and started trying out new things. I ran away from home so my ex and i could go out more and get wasted. Thats how i met my current partner Jamie who got me back on track, we were smoking weed and getting drunk alot, but he forced me to go back home to my parents and didnt let me skip work. on new years we had a massive fight and broke up (we were drunk). A couple of days later he showed up on my door step to make things right, if not to get back together he said he at least wanted to be friends, if i didnt want that then he wanted to at least end everything on a good foot. we got back together and the make up sex is what got me pregnant! I was 17 at the time and had lily 2 weeks before my 18th birthday. She changed me and my partner into better people. we dont drink, we dont do drugs and most importantly, we are so happy with our lives and each other. if it wasnt for my daughter i think i would have ended up being found dead in a guttter somewhere.

because of the town i live in i have been looked at like i did something wrong by falling pregnant after a one night stand but i am happy with my decisions because my partner loves our son and we just look at it like we used IVF.

I was 18 and livng with my boyfriend at the time(husband now). Wehad always used protection and he also thought he was sterile. A doctor had told him so. We had sex three times without a condom and so happened the third time was the charm. I was so scar when I had my first son. I ws not ready by any mean. And here I am today 27 with 3 boys and another baby on the way! I am very happy!! I was thankful to have a guy that loved me and we have been together for amost10 years! I am glad to hear that u and ur boyfriend r still together! It is a rare that the guy sticks around. So congrats on both of u! It will be hard, but if u guys love each other enough u will wrk through anything that comes ur way, believe me, I know.

Hi this is my first time in here. I was 16 when I found out I pregnant. My boyfriend and I, we had been together 12 months, always used protection so this wouldn't happen. When we found out I was pregnant his cousin informed us that him and his mates use to go down to the chemist and stick pins into the condom packets. NICE, just what we wanted to hear. My Bf stuck around for about 3 months then took off, came back once my son was born, hung around for a couple of months then took off again. My son is 17 now and hasn't seen his biological father since he was 3. Luckily I found a wonderful man who loves my son as though he was his own and we now have a beautiful daughter. Everything worked out in the end but its was tough for a while.

Diana - posted on 07/17/2009

First...how did you get pregnant????? Other than artificially, I think you know how most of us got pregnant. I got pregnant at 16 and had my beautiful girl at the age of 17. I did not drink and did not party. I thought and still do to this day think that I was in love with my boyfriend and the boy that grew up to be the man I married and remained married for 16 years. He sadly left me for someone 10 years younger than me, but I did have the most marvelous child, who now is a professor at highly regarded university. Age is not important in the process of having a child as state of mind. At the age of 17 I was more in tune with my child and a better mother than many 20 somethings that were having babies at that time.

Emma - posted on 07/17/2009

You're story is lovely. I met my boyfriend when I was 15 and he was the first and last person I had sex with as we are now married. We moved in our own house when I was 18 and shortly afterwards I got a positive result and was over the moon as we had been talking about it for some time but we didn't think it would happen so soon. We married in Jan 08 and our little girl came into the world April 08 and we couldn't be happier

Bill and I had been having unprotected sex without even thinking of the consequences. We were each other's first and neither of us knew much about contraception. After a couple of months, Bill suggested I go on the pill. He took me to the planned parenthood clinic (waiting outside - they wouldn't let him in) and they made me take a urine test before they'd prescribe for me. The nurse brought me into a room, sat me down and started talking about abortion. After a few minutes I figured out that I was pregnant, got up and walked out. I was scared, but told Bill immediately. He lifted me up, spun me around and cheered, "I'm going to be a daddy!!!" As we rode home on our scooter, he yelled that to everyone he saw -- the man mowing his lawn, the guy in the car next to us, everyone. I knew then that everything was going to be ok. We were scared to death to tell our parents, but once we got that over with, everything worked out. We got married one month later and 27 years later, we're still very much in love.

Well Kelsey, you already know my story seeing as to how you are my best friend, but for everyone else to know...

I have been dating my current boyfriend for over 3 years and we now have a 1 month old baby. Because I try to take my religion seriously I was waiting until marriage to have sex but then a little after our 2 year anniversary I decided not to wait anymore so we started having sex. 2 months later a condom broke and we ended up getting pregnant because I hadn't gotten around to getting on birth control yet. At the time I felt like an idiot because my friend had just gone through a pregnancy and i should have learned from her experience, but now I am extremely happy with having a baby.

I really did think that Kelsey and me were an exception and that most young people who have kids sleep around, but after reading so many stories of people like us it makes me sad to know that there is such a bad stereotype against teen moms, as this is not the case.

Diane - posted on 07/16/2009

I was 20 and had moved to a different state to be near my long distance bf. It wasn't until I got out there that I realized what a loser he really was. Among other things, he wouldn't use a condom or help me pay for birth control. I had a lot of cysts though and had been told I probably couldn't conceive naturally so I agreed to keep having sex with him without the pill. Bad idea. I didn't know for 8 weeks that I was pregnant. When we found out, he told me to "get rid of it or give it away." I admit I was so scared I almost decided on adoption, but I couldn't do that. My bf was so horrible to me after I decided not to abort that I left him and moved back "home." He has seen MY beautiful little girl for 2 hours out of her 4 years and only pays support when he is threatened with jail.

its nice to hear that things can work out for some young couples who get preg... although that is not happened to me. i fell preg to my ex boyfriend just after my 15th birthday. i was with him for about a year before we even started having sex and i wasnt and still arent into the party seen and drin king alot or drugs, tho i was going thro family stuff and i had moved out and was living with him and his family at the time. he was a great bf till i fell pregnat then he turned and started abuseing me physaclly and mentally and cheating on me. we broke up when my daughter was about 6mths after he started abuseing her. i am now 17 with a bueatiful 18mth old daughter who i love to bits and cant imagin life with out her.

wow great story!

mine is similar

i met my fiance when i was 15, my mother wouldnt let us date until i was 16 so we had to wait two grueling months! Once we started dating we were inseperable..and he was my first

i dont have periods, never have, and so the gyno said my chances of conceiving were pretty much nil!

since he was my first i trusted him and not once through out our entire relationship did we ever use a condom, besides i didnt believe i could ever get pregnant..we had been dating for 6 months when i moved in with him, dating a year when he proposed, and been engaged for half a year when we found out i was pregnant...hes been really supportive and goes to every doctors appt ...luckily i found the right person the first time around!

I was a party girl, well more than that I was actually having quite a hard time dealing with a drug addiction and I was in an abusive relationship.
He lied to me about not having any swimmers (lol) and I ended up pregnant at 19.
There is a happy ending, I left him, moved back in with my Mum (in a different country) and now I don't hear from him at all,
actually he's living with his pregnant fiance.

I got married to my husband at 17 while he was on HLTA [basically R&R in the middle of a tour, he was in Afghanistan] so we decided to do it then. We started talking about have a baby that night actually and we stopped using anything. Our daughter was planned and we have never been happier. We recently celebrated 2 years of marriage and her first birthday 6 days later :D

I met my fiance when i was 14, we dated for about 4 months before i got pregnant. It was a complete shock. He comes from a fairly religious family, and my family was not impressed at all. For me abortion was not an option but i knew i couldn't raise a baby and give him everything i would want to give him. So in may 2005 i gave birth to the most handsome baby boy ever, Gavin, and we gave him up for adoption. I guess you could say we got lucky because my aunt and uncle adopted him and we have been able to see him a few times and even spent a vacation with them! But now i am 19 years old and me and my fiance are the very proud parents of our beautiful baby girl Zoe!!!

I was 17, and he was 21 and he is a really sweet guy..He kept pestering me for two weeks about getting me something..So we go back to his place from his Cousin's Birthday Party , and I was getting somethings done, he comes over to me hands behind back and starts saying a poem [ he made up.! he LOVES writing me poems] off the top of his head..and told me he loves me alot, and gives me a promise ring. :) , that night our babygirl was conceived.

I found out I was pregnant when I was coming into being 6 weeks pregnant... I knew something was up when I had the urge to go the washroom every 15 mins.! lol, i bugged him for over a week to take me to the clinic, but we were a day late.. lol so instead we went to the hospital... I remember the rush of emotions.. and when the nurse was like "Your baby has most of his/her organs.".. I started crying... Then I also found out that the baby's heart starts beating at 5 weeks...and then after he told me he will stand by my side [which he did, and still does.. NEVER missed an appt or anything!] I found the whole pregnancy was alot easier than I actually expected.. lol

Leah - posted on 06/18/2009

I was 17 years old and a senior in high school when I conceived. I had been dating Ryan, the father, for about a year when we decided to have sex. I didn't know I was pregnant for the first 4 months, I had only gained 2 or 3 pounds and nothing else really seemed any different. One day something told me that I might be pregnant so I decided to take the test and when it came back positive I sat down on my bed for an hour and didn't say anything. I called Ryan and told him the news, at first he was really happy and said he would be there for me through everything. After Gavin, my son, was born Ryan decided that he wanted to go do the college thing and he wasn't a part of Gavin's life for the first year and a half so I was forced to grow up and raise my son on my own. I chose to go to college online that way I could be with Gavin while getting my education. It was tough, but amazing at the same time. Even though I was a teenager when I had my baby, I wouldn't take it back... watching him smile, giggle and give me hugs is one of the most amazing feelings in the world.

I loved reading everyone's stories and am so proud of everyone!!! I met my husband when I was 16 and he was 18. From the first night we met he told me that he wanted to start a family soon and I always wanted to have a family young. We were friends at first though. I would help him out with girl problems and he would help me with boy problems. We started dating when I was 17 and we were on and off a lot. The last time we broke up I decided I wasn't going to take him back till he was more mature and knew exactly what he wanted. When we got back together he had joined the ARMY. He proposed before he went to basic training (we got married 3 months later). I found out I was pregnant 3 weeks after he had left (I was 18) and had no way of letting him know until he could call me. I wrote him a letter but he called before he got it. I told him and after he got off the phone he yelled that he was going to be a dad and everyone clapped. Because of training and schooling he was only around for 2 months of my pregnancy and left for Iraq a month before our son was born so he was not there for the birth. He did not get to see his son until he was 3 months old. He was born May 30th 2007. We just had our little girl May 11th 2009. Now we are all born in May (She was actually born on my 21st b-day) my husbands b-day is the 25th of May. We are a very happy family and I am proud to say that I am a young mom!

I got pregnant when I was 18.

I met my boyfriend in Feb 2008 and moved in with him and a few roommates a few weeks later (not my smartest decision) and I became pregnant 4 months later.

Before I got pregnant, my boyfriend and I were off and on and breaking up probably 3 times a week and I had moved back in with my parents.

When my boyfriend and I decided to give us one more shot, he kept telling me I needed to go get checked because I wasn't acting 'normal' and he had a feeling I was pregnant.

I kept blowing it off and I thought he was just paranoid and one night after sex, i started spotting so i was convinced i started my perioid, but he wasn't and still wanted me to get checked. The next morning, the bleeding had stoped so I went to the doctors and found out I was 4 weeks pregnant.

I was in shock and scared and I honestly didn't want to tell my boyfriend I was pregnant because I knew that he would tell me to get an abortion, but to my surprise he didn't want one, he wanted what I wanted and he knew that keeping our baby is what i wanted and he vowed to stand by me 100% and a year and a half later he's still keeping his word.

After I found out I was pregnant, I enrolled myself back into school and managed to get the last 7 credits I needed to graduate, and despite what teachers told me, I did graduate 5 months later, a month and a half before I was due.

I never dwelled on being a teen mother, I never thought my life was over, I just thought of it as a new chapter in my life. I personally don't think it's too difficult at all, sure some things are stressful but in the end it's all worth it. Sometimes I do miss my old life and my friends, but then every morning when my daughter wakes up and the first thing she does when i look at her is smile, i remember that i left my old life behind for a much better and successful life.

I found that being positive changes everything.



Now, currently I am working a full time job and will be starting college in the fall.

My boyfriend and I are still together, some days and better than others, but we're making it together.

THE WAY I SEE IT IS IF THE SORRY ASS DADDY DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM FORGET HIM!! YOUR SON DOESN'T NEED HIM TO BECOME THAT STRONG MAN THAT YOU WANT HIM TO BE!! HE HAS YOU!! MY BABY DADDY GOT ME PREGNANT ON PURPOSE AND WE WAS TOGETHER FOR 3 YEARS BEFORE HE FINALLY GOT WHAT HE WANTED!! THEN TO TOP IT OFF HE GOT ANOTHER GIRL PREGNANT THE SAME MONTH I HAD MY SON!! HE HAS BEEN LOCKED UP JUST ABOUT ALL OF MY SON'S LIFE SO I COULD CARE LESS IF HE COMES TO SEE MY SON WHEN HE GETS OUT BECAUSE MY SON IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF!! I'M NOT GONE LIE I USED TO WISH FOR THE SAME THING THAT YOU ARE WISHING FOR BUT I GOT OVER IT REAL QUICK BECAUSE IF HE REALLY LOVED MY SON LIKE HE SAYS HE DOES THEN HE WOULD'VE STAYED OUT OF TROUBLE AND NOT KEEP GETTING SENT TO PRISON!! EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER IN DUE TIME AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL YOUR BF THAT IF YOUR SON IS CALLING HIM DADDY HE NEEDS TO BE READY FOR THE FAMILY LIFE AND DON'T LET NO MALE COME IN AND OUT OF YOUR SON'S LIFE!! I TELL EVER DUDE I TALK TO IF YOUR NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING PART OF A FAMILY YOU CAN LEAVE NOW!! I DON'T BRING TO MANY DIFFERENT MEN AROUND MY SON BECAUSE CHILDREN ARE REAL SMART SO YOU REALLY HAVE TO HAVE POTENTIAL IN ORDER TO BE WITH ME!! MY BF NOW IS HUSBAND AND FATHER MATERIAL AND HE TREATS MY SON AS IF HE WAS HIS OWN!! HE LOVES HIM AND SO DOES MY BF'S FAMILY!!! I KNOW IF WE EVER BREAK UP HE'LL STILL COME AROUND BECAUSE HE LOVES MY SON AND MY SON LOVES HIM BACK!! GIRL JUST LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS: SOME PEOPLE WERE BROUGHT IN YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON AND SOME ARE TAKEN OUT OF YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON. THE REASONS AREN'T ALWAYS WHAT YOU WANT BUT IT WILL BE ALRIGHT IF YOU JUST LIVE FOR YOU AND YOUR SON AND NOT FOR ANYBODY ELSE!!

Well lets see.Where do I even start lol.I met my little girls dad when I was 13 years old.We quickly became friends but there was never anything more.That changed about 5 months before I turned 15.See, I was really mature for my age and he would always come and talk to me when his gf would cheat on him or if he was upset and needed advice from a girl.It was then that he started to develop feelings for me.He told me about how his feelings had changed and I was weirded out at first but decided to give it a go.I was still a virgin and he wanted to take my virginity and I would not give in.Until June 10 2003.We didnt use a condom cause he told me you couldnt get pregnant the first time and being stupid I believed him.I found out I was pregnant a month an a half later after only having sex once.When I told him he ran.After bein friends for over 2 years he threw it all away cause he got me pregnant.I was 14 going to turn 15 on august 5.I was a very good student in school.I made strait A's and was in the beta club.I ended up having to drop out of school cause I was always so sick.I did eventually go back and get my G.E.D but I will always miss that I didnt get the chance to go to prom or actually have a teeneage life.But I will never regret my daughter.She is my life and I would do any thing for her!

i got pregant at 16. my bf and i had only been going out for six months when i got prego. it wasn't planned obviously. not long after him and i started going out i started on birth control. but after my third month of taking it my doctor decide to switch me to a generic type of pills. i was only on these new pills about two months when i got pregant, i didn;t actually find out i was untill the end of october because i thought maybe my body was getting used to the new pills when my period came a week early. but when i found out it was a big shock. my bf was pretty shaken up about everything. everyone was pretty supportive about the baby. but after a few mnths everyone was in on it. its pretty exciting knowin i have my own little one and a family of my own. although my baby isn't due for a couple more days i already feel over whelmd. maybe one day me and my bf will get engaged sometime down the road. lol

I was 3 months shy of my 17 birthday when i foud out i was pregnant! My son wasn't planned but at the same time, my bf and i hadn't done anything to prevent it from happening! We didn't really care..if we got pregnant then that was fine...until the day i found out..my bf was shocked..but then an hour later was so excited! :) I have been with my bf for just a little of 3 years now!! the crazy thing about my pregnancy was that when my mother in law was pregnant with my fiance..we were pregnant around the same time!! our due dates were 1 day apart..and craved alot of the same thigns...it was really weird! But me and my fiance are really happy and can't wait to have another...hopefully soon!! I'm proud to be a young mom..its what i was made to do!! :)

I fell pregnant after just been with my boyfriend, my first serious boyfriend for just a month, sadly that babys heartbeat stopped at 18 weekd gestion, I had to have a D&C to remove my baby. From that day we both knew we wanted a baby, we didnt try first month, second month we didnt concieve, it was heartbreaking, I was in tears, but luckily we concieved third month! I now have a amzing 11 month old son called Tyler, Me and his daddy are still together (been together almost 3 years now) but we have had lots of problems and obsicles in the way, but my family is my world!! dont regret one thing, and I am also going back to college in September! xx
