I do believe that now days hollywood puts teen pregnancy out there. Juno was an very good movie to me it shows and kinda teach other ways to deal with pregnancy then getting an abortion. Yes i am an teen mom and it is hard i had my son when i was 17 and now im 18 and he is one. I do believe that being an teen and being a mom is alot of work it takes time. Im not saying that being a teen mom means that its the end of my life b/c its not. I have susport from my father. He helps me when i really need help other than that i take care of my son on my own i get everything he needs. But in some ways i believe teen moms take advantage of being pregnant and having a child. I myself am an senior in high school and i have an part time job its not easy raising a child but but i do my best i can strongly say i am a good mom. I wanna say that to all teen moms that just because you have or about to have an child doesn't mean your life is over. No one can ever say that they cant do anything because they have a baby thats not true you can still do alot. I was in the 11th grade when i had my child now im an senior with good grades (passing) and about to graduate in june. I wake up every morning at 6am to get me my son ready 4 school i take him to daycare then go to school i come home go to work at 5pm and get off at 10pm come home do homework go to bed and wake right back up at 6am. If i can do it so can you have faith.

The people who could best benefit talking to any teen practicing unsafe sex or even considering having a baby as a teen, would be some of us families who've been there, done that and for a very long time now. Fourteen years ago our then 15 year old daughter gave birth to a son, four years later another son came along. We were a good family with good morals. I tell parents all the time, don't think because you go to church on Sunday it can't happen to you. It happened to us. We stepped in as grandparents and parented, paid financially and filled in the gaps that our 15/19 year old daughter couldn't fill. It never stops. Problem is, when grandparents step in, then the babies bond with the grandparents and they are basically raised with 3 parents and growing up like that seems normal. So, even when the kids are 14, like our oldest grandson is now, its hard to break from that because he finds that completely normal and it's his life. After 14 years, we're attempting for the third time for the boys and their mother and my husband and I to live in separate homes. They miss us, we miss them. They relate to their mom like a sister. The transition is hard on everyone. WORD! Don't do it! Your precious teen years are simply that, precious. It's not fair to you and it is not fair to your children and it certainly isn't fair to the grandparents. The whole family is affected forever. We are lucky. We're a very close, supportive family. But honestly, that's all we've got going for us. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.
