I was the first student who had gotten pregnant and continue my education to graduation. I am blessed to have the most unbelievable daughter imaginable. She is today thirty years old, a respected Pediatrician, and the most balanced woman I have ever met. I'm more than proud of her, she is the best thing that ever happened to me. It can be done.
Regarding the parents - I had the most strict parents you could possibly imagine and still managed to get pregnant. If a child wants to do something bad enough, it's going to happen now matter how good the parenting. |
I also agree with what you are saying, I am in no way advocating teenage pregnancy. It was not easy being a mother at 16, I would recommend waiting until you are older. At he same time I feel its unfair to state that its not possible to be a good mother at 16. I am going on 30 now and while it was hard raising a child I think Both my child and I turned out great!
