Message From a Teen Parent
Posted: 09-04-05 08:48am

I know that some young girls who are aged from about 13 are trying to get pregnant nowadays. I am 19 myself and I first fell preg when I was 15. I now have 3 kids and I am a single mum.
My kids are the most important things in my life and I don't regret having them so soon or anything. All as I wanted to do from a young age was to become a mum that was like my lifetime ambition. But I don't think it's right for kids at school still to plan on getting pregnant. It might sound rich coming from me and you probably think I sound like your mums or whatever but you should be in a very very stable relationship and you should leave school and so well in your education first so you can get a good career. Think before you plan on anything like this. It is a massive turnaround and an even bigger responsibility

Your right it is a huge responsiblity, thats why I want to wait till im done highschool atleast. But I maybe preg. If I am, theres nothing I can do, and I will just have to start taking the nides(nortth island distric education system) program (kinda like homeschool) then ill come back for 2nd semester of my grade 12 year (cuz if I am im leaving half way threw my grade 11 year) I would perfer not to leave school, but you got to do what you got to do right...

I dont blame these girls who want to have babys so young..Since I was 10 I have wanted a baby..Thats when my little brother n sister were born.. But I knew I had to wait, I just didnt know why...Now that im 18 and have a cute little boy I realize that having a baby really is the best thing that can happen to you...But when you have a kid its not about you..Its about making sure you raise that child with all your best and make sure he/she is happy and taken good care of and to do that you do need money and to make a plan for both of your lives to make sure its going to be ok... You cant be selfish anymore

Yes. My youngest sister charlotte has a baby in december she was 15 but only 14 when she became pregnant. Charl loves her daughter demi loads and says it's the best thing that's happened to her even though she has found it tough. Demi wasn't planned though. Charl says some of her friends are jelous of her for being a mum and are trying to concieve. They are only 15 and I think this is completely wrong. I have told them my opinions and I have been told that they thing when me and charl had babys it made are lives complete and made us something to live for.I know some people like me long for a baby from a early age and I understand why but you also have to understand why you sometimes have to wait.
