Why do ppl stare at pregnant teens like
they are some kind of freak show????!!!!
:x they are still the same as anyone else,
but they are bringing a beautiful baby
into the world. Does anyone else agree
that ppl need to make the pregnant mothers
feel welcome and accepted? This just
really bugs me!!!!1

I agree with you. I get looks all the
time. I also took home a baby think
about it for school. I needed to for a
class. People just kept staring at my
belly and then at the car seat. One lady
was talking about me behind my back and
telling someone that I was too young to be
a mother and that I looked like I was
twelve. I am 16 will be 17 on the 14th
of januray but anyway. I just turned
around and looked at her. I said yea and
the father and I are expecting another.
We are very happy about it. She just
gave me a dirty look and walked away. I
just hate it when people think we can't
take care of our babies because we are
young. I have met a few people that act
like they are okay with teen pregnancy.
I prefer to have my kids young anyway then
I won't be to old later and I can be a
young fun mom. I am 13 weeks pregnant.

It is so sad that ppl in this world cannot
accept other ppl for their differences.
It makes me sick to my stomach!!! I love
babies, but definetly not ttc( I am only
14, soon to be 15 in feb.) I dont think
being a teen mom is bad, because teens
make great moms. I think that 15 and
under is young to be conceiveing, but ppl
need to accept ppl for who they are inside
and appricate the fact that they are going
to be bringing a baby into the world. I
am sorry that ppl give you looks and call
you names. Congradulations on being
preggy!!!!

I know what you mean. I was nervous how
the kids at school would act about me
being pregnant but that's mostly no
problem and they've been pretty good about
it. The ones who give me dirty looks and
say things are mostly older women. Today
I was at the store and a woman in the line
in front of me looked at me like I kicked
her dog or something then said "don't you
think you're awful young to be having
babies?" I was just biting my lip and the
woman in line behind me said "don't you
think you awful old to be saying rude
things like that?" so I guess sometimes
there's people out there who'll stand up
for you.

How old are you? I am glad that some ppl
actually have a heart and are willing to
stand up for all the pregnant women. When
you are pregnant it is a beautiful thing
and ppl so embrace it and not be haters!
Do you agree?

Planned or unplanned? Congrats to being
preggy. Are you excited? Do you think
that becoming pregnant @ 14 is wrong and
selfish???

This was definitely not planned. 14
sounds to me really young to get pregnant
but a lot of people think 17 also is. I
guess it really depends on if you're
mature enough to handle it. I don't know
if I am now but I know I sure wasn't when
I was 14. I think it's awful young to
start trying to get pregnant. I keep
thinking i'm going to be 18 when my baby
comes and my due date's like 10 days
before i'm supposed to graduate so
there'll be a lot more jobs I can get than
if I was younger. But that's just me.

I am 14 and not ttc! I want a baby, but I
would have no idea how to support the baby
and I am still in school and have 3 more
years till I graduate. Are you still in
school? Have you found out the sex of
your lil angel yet? Have any names picked
out? Just wondering!!

I really don't pay much attention to
others. I am usually too stuck in my own
little world to care or notice! Lol my
little baby is our blessing and I don't
care if other people are too shallow to
see that!

kids young is... "to each their own".. I
wish they wouldn't.. But hey.. It's not
my problem..If the person who is pregnant
has no problem..Why should i?.(no offense)

What people worry about, of course, is
that only 3% of pregnant teens end up
graduationg, and most of them end up on
welfare for extended periods of time.
Nothing particularly wrong with that in
itself, but it gets damn hard to dig
yourself out of that hole later.

To whoever asked if trying to concieve at
the age of 14 is selfish, I think, yes, it
is very selfish. But to accidently fall
pregnant is a totally different situation
and I really look up to those who make it
through.

Yes and here is the reason why. I am not
lying when I say I am 14 and I have had a
misscarriage!!!! I would never lie about
something like that. You guys need to
know that I am telling the truth!! I gave
my self a different name because I didnt
think you would accept me for having a
misscarriage a 14. This is the truth and
you can believe it or not, but I am not
lying!!!!!

I'll be 21 in less than 2 months and
people give me dirty looks all the time.
I think it's extremely rude that people
can't keep their nasty opinions to
themselves. I guess I would understand it
more if I looked 12 but I look older than
I am. I hate old people! Grr!

no one will judge you for having a
miscarrige at 14 sweety.. It happens.
You can't "stop" misccariages. Everything
happens for a reason. I'm sorry what you
went through. But you still shouldn't
have put two different stories on the
board. Anyway, sorry for your loss.
