| If you are a teenager and thinking about parenthood, think
again. I am a 16 year old teenager who had a baby at 15.
The birth of the baby was complicated, along with the pregnancy. |
| |
| If I could do it over I would have listened to my parents.
I really thought my baby’s father loved me until I told him
I was pregnant. The first thing he said to me was, "It’s not
mine." He then left me. |
| |
| I went through the pregnancy by myself, the birth of my child
alone. I am also raising my daughter by myself. |
| |
| My life has changed a lot. There is no more partying or hanging
out with your friends. Put it like this: even though I am 16,
I don’t feel like a teenager anymore. |
| |
| If there wasn’t public assistance I think I wouldn’t be able
to give my child the material things she needs, or the food
she needs. |
| |
| I sometimes wish I never had a child. When she cries and there
is no way to stop her from crying no matter how hard I try,
I get real frustrated. I have help from my Mom, but she is not
always going to be there for me because this is my responsibility. |
| |
| If I could change things, I would not have a baby right now.
I love my daughter, but feel now isn’t a good time for me to
have a child. But it is too late now. |
| |
| She is here, and I am a mother. |
| |
| My advice for you is to please think it over again. Think
about the consequences of having sex and having a baby. If this
doesn’t help and you decide to have a baby, it is not going
to be fun. |
| |
| If it doesn’t turn out the way you expected, don’t take
it out on the child. It is not the child’s fault. |
| |
| It is yours for deciding to have a baby so young. Always remember
this is another life to think about. Every little thing you
do, you teach your child. |
