I'm 18 and I hardly feel like a teen mom.
I really don't feel like it because when
you think 'teen pregnancy' you think of
high school, but I've been out for 2
years. I consider myself a teen mom, I
just don't feel it.

I see what you mean. There's a huge
difference between a 13 yr old and an 18
yr old.

How did that happen? Was the child raped
or was it consensual? Is she ok?

as far as i know she wasn't raped. i went
with my mom one day to this thing they
were havin at school for the kids and she
came there with her boyfriend and her
baby. she was in the 6th grade and her bf
looked like he was at least 16. I couldn't
really tell wether she was happy or not
but I hope she's doin ok. i know she
doesn't have a lot of money becuz a lot of
the kids in that area are poor. i don't
realli know much else about her and she
doesn't go to that school anymore.

19 and younger. But I think ages 18 and
19 can be considered a teen mom or an
adult mom.

That is rape. There is no such thing as
consensual sex under the age of consent.
Which 12 definitely is.

You are absolutely right. That was a dumb
question on my part, because there is only
one answer. Rape.

here you are a legal adult at 18
why?
because your tried as an adult in court if
you get in trouble with the law.
if your under 18 your tried as a minor.
that is why when you turn 18 you are now
classed as an adult. although i would say
20 is when we should all be classed as
adults.

21 is when you finally have all of the
rights as any other adult, though, because
that's the legal drinking age. It used to
be 18, but too many teens were getting
killed from alcohol (drunk driving,
alcohol poisoning, etc.)

Why do you feel like you are not an adult
at the age of 18? Wasn't the choice to
have a child an adult decision?
(Or are you talking about your mom, was
her excuse for making you fend for
yourself that you were 18 and an adult?)

yes choosing to keep my baby and become a
mother is an adult decision.
However, i said that i think we should be
classed as adults at the age of 20 because
there are some teens out there who think
they kno everything when really they kno
nothing.
My mom had me out of the house a week
before i turned 18.
i am an adult, and yes im going to have a
baby, but at times i do still feel like im
just a kid, learning new things still to
this day.

I agree with you about the age thing. I
cried the night before I turned 21 because
I didn't want to be an adult, lol!!!!
Your mom sounds cold. I'm sorry to say
that, but that 's just the feeling I get.

a little heartless and cold yes.
i do not doubt that at all.
She has one picture set in her mind as to
how i should have turned out and that will
never go away no matter how i live my life
or how good my life turns out. She will
always go back to that picture in her
head.
