Ok, straighten up and read this closely. I am not going to criticize you. I don't care if you are lying, this is not just for you, but for anyone who is thinkg of bringing a baby into this world at such a young age. I am going to tell you a little bit about me and my life.

I got pregnant at 14. My parents had moved me to kentucky to live with my grandparents because I was running away and getting into trouble h ere. I was angry with my mom for leaving me there, so I ran out and slept with the first guy I met. After only knowing him for 5 days. But unlike you, we used a condom. It broke. I found out 17 days later that I was pregnant. I can't really say that I was too upset. I cried a little, but I actually got excited. It didn't hit me until I was about 7 months, and I started to realize how much this baby really was going to impact my life. I saw how much everything costed, I spent time with friends babies. I finally opened my eyes to the situation, and it wasn't pretty. That was when I had my proper cries and doubts of my maternal abilities. But I sucked it up and dealt with it. I had my son 10 days after I turned 15. And for his first 7 months of life, my mother bought everything for him. But I finally got a job, and I will tell you, it is not easy. Not at all. Hun, I work 4 days a week, 5 hours a day. That is 20 hours a week. On top of the 7 hours a day, 5 days a week at school. So let's see, that is 55 hours a week right? So let's throw in some shower time, some meal time, and time to spend with my son. You know what that leaves me with. 6 1/2 hours a night to do homework, and sleep. By the time I finish homework, I have about 5 hours left to sleep. Then I get up, take my son on the bus to school, struggle to stay awake through my classes, break for 3rd period when I get to spend time with him, eat, finish classes, come get him, ride bus home, put him down for a nap, try and catnap or clean a little, get ready, go to work, come home, play with josh, shower, eat, get stuff ready for next day, do homework, and sleep. Then I get up and do it all again.

I will tell you, I am physically, emotionally, and financially drained. I bawled my eyes out the other night screaming at anyone who was listening, asking why I have to do this alone. Why is it that his father is at college, playing football, and I am here at 15, working, schooling and parenting. I cried for about 3 hours. I was sobbing so hard I couldn't breathe. Then the next night my boss sent me home 2 hours early because I was exhausted. Of course it was raining out, and I started crying again for no reason on the walk home. I have a sever case of manic depression, and these past few nights have made me feel like I don't want to live anymore. It is so hard. But somehow, is ee my precious little boy's face, and I pull through it. I go to school and maintain a 3.25 gpa, I work my ass off for a measley 100 bucks a week. And I am the best damn mom I can be, and I will tell you, that is my little boy and I would die for him, but at 14years old I was not ready to make that sacrifice. But I had to. I know you are not ready to make these sacrifices, so don't. Don't do it. I have plans for myself after school, I am going to make a proper and decent life for my son and i. Whether we are alone, with someone else, or otherwise. But just think about it, are you really ready to devote 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to someone else? Are you ready to spend every penny of your money on food, diapers, clothes, and toys to keep them happy? I am flat broke from buying my son christmas presents, and I can't wait to give them to him. But I would like to be able to buy myself some things too. But I can't right now because I cannot afford it.

So in answer to your question tell your mom this. Mom, I made a mistake that I am not ready to deal with, but I will deal with to the best of my abilities. Know that I will love this baby and do whatever it takes to raise it, even if it means sacrificing my personal life, social life, sleep, and sometimes even showers. Because I am ready to grow up and take on all the responsibilities of an adult.

When you can say that to your mother, without being afraid to tell her, you are ready to have a baby. Until thenm I suggest you use protection or keep your legs shut.

Chrissy, honestly, I have to tell you that you are very mature and a very smart young girl. I've read so many of your posts and they have so much wisdom, advice and mature content in them. You come off as an adult, and you're 15. You've matured so much for your son and i'm so proud that you're mkaing it through school and work. Your a strong girl chrissy.

Thanks shauna. That means a lot to me. I feel apprciated when people notice what I do. Most people have no idea what the hell I am going through, and don't seem to understand why I snap at them and scream until I am at the verge of a nervous breakdown when they call me lazy or something stupid like some kid got mad when I said he needed to shutup because he was making fun of some chics clothes. I told him that he needed to go earn his own money and buy his own clothes, and then he can make fun of other peoples'. He was like shutup, yo mam take care of yo baby. And I was like oh hell no she don't I take care of my baby and you need to shut your damn mouth before I smack you like I was yo mama. Lol. Needless to say, he left both of us alone. Lol. But people make me so angry, and they just don't understand what it's like. But like I said, thanks shauna. Love ya lots. By the way, how is danica?

Wow chrissy! I never thought I would get to talk to you because I didnt think you posted anymore. I read some of your past post and they really touched me. I know it is hard raising a baby at 15, not from experience but from what I heard. You are a very very mature young adult. Ive never heard a 15yr old acting like an adult like you do. Im just hoping you will get your peace in the near future from all the hard hard work youve had to go through. Let me do an intro about me. Im jess, 15, from louisiana, 10th grader, and possibly preggy. Unlike you we didnt use a condom. I thought I wanted a child but I dont. My senses came to me realizing what the health question was I thinking. I just hope im not but if I am I will love the child of course and take my responsibilties. Your a very bright girl and I hope everything will ease down for you. If I was your boss I would honestly probably give you free money because you work hard enough as it is at home and at school. You are a great mom chrissy dont never let anyone tell you.. Your not because I will slap them lol.

Okay I know this is an old post and I know I say I am never truly mean to anyone but how dare you girl! How dare you bring a child into this world trying to concieve at 14? Thats ridiculous might as well just re ask your parents if they want to raise another child. You cant drive, you dont have a job, I mean you cant even file for your own insurance. How will you provide for a child his/her well being? A child is expensive and doesnt need another child to raise him or her. Okay I understand completely that people do get pregnant at 14 yet not intentionally and do become great parents but they arent trying and they arent playing games... Having a baby is not a game and it is not an 8 hour babysitting job either! Get your caca together graduate middle school and medical question let yourself grow up!

Sorry to anyone I offended and sorry to the girl who posted this but that just hit a nerve.

Parents with 14 year olds have children still!

Chrissy, youre *awesome*!!! Dont let anyone tell you diffrently. Your one of the strongest people I know, even if we dont really *know* eachother. Just keep on doing what your doing and youll be fine. Things will eventually get easier. But you are an excellent mom. If I lived in venice, I would babysit joshie for free!
By the way, is dewitt sending you any money? If not, maybe its time to light a fire under his a$$, ya kno???

God isn't going to bless you with a baby if he thinks you're not ready! And we can all see that you aren't ready! 99% of this forum thinks you are crazy! Get over the baby fever and get a job please! Conceiving a baby happens when you least expect it to! Take my advice...I went to school with a girl that tricked her exboyfriend and told him she was on birthcontrol when she wasn't. She ended up getting pregnant and going in pre-term labor 6 months into her pregnancy and the baby was born and died three weeks later. Because you know why? She wasn't ready! She lied to him to get herself pregnant so she could have something to do with him for the rest of her life! What goes around comes around and it slapped her in her face! You need to let it happen on it's own and in it's own time...You are 14!!! I'm 19 years old and I dunno if I could handle a baby! You haven't even been through the roughest years of your life yet...Meaning high school! Chances are..You are your boyfriend would probably end up breakin up anyway! You need to put you first!

Yep.. All it is..Is baby fever! I used to be like you i'd see a cute baby and want one myself. And even though im 18 and 9 weeks pregnantand have an awesome job and loving husband ect.. I am worried how I can give this baby the best life in the world. Do you have anyone you can babysit for or something so you can get sick of a baby lol.. Just please do not get pregnant. If your bf loves you so much than both of you can wait a little longer.

I know how you feel, because I want to have a baby so bad, but the first thing you should do is go a buy a pregnancy test and take it, because then you will know or not, or go and have a blood test done. I am happy for you and your boyfriend that you guys want to have a baby, but you are scared to tell your mom. Are you and your mom close? Can you tell her anything and get her advice? I know it will be hard to tell your mom that you could possibly be pregnant. Tell her what you plan to do to help support your baby. Tell her how you feel. Be honest with your mom. Once again I am happy for you and your boyfriend and wish you the best of luck.
