Teenage motherhood is a fact of life that
no one seems to accept yet. It has also
been around for longer than anyone thinks.
Our grandparents used to get married as
early as fourteen and have children right
after. But sometime during the last
century, someone turned teen pregnancy
into a bad situation. I'm not advocating
that we should all become teen parents
just because our ancestors did it but I am
saying that once it's done, it's done.
There's no going back once the baby is
conceived so why should any teen mom have
to deal with attitudes that are less than
helpful. We need assistance, not cold
shoulders.
"so i'll always be called a teenage mom,
huh?" asks terry*, age seventeen with one
child. "well, that's okay either way
because I take care of my child better
than most 'adults'. Let them call me one.
I'll take it as a compliment."
