i tink its shocking what yoor saying here i fell pregnant at 15 ant theres nothing wrong with it everyone covers bad press on young mums but when dose the good young mums get any press?
NEVER
its so easy for people to jugde but they dont know what gose on in there own home
I think am a great mum and its not right to judge just because of our ages!

Well i do think thats not right but i have a friend that might be pregnant and she is only 13 years old… but dont call her a slut or slag or whatever.
you see she had a 17 year old boyfriend and felt she didnt really have a choice if she had sex with him or not…but the fact is he did and she regrets it so very much coz not only could she ruin her life she could do the same to her babys if she is pregnant.
and worst of all he mum and didnt even know she was going out with him, because they hate his guts and she is not going to tell her perants.
im her best fwend and she told me coz i was the only one who would stick by her and support her.

not all teenagers go oot with older guy to have sex with them to get pregnant, she just feel inlove with the wrong guy and now much pay for her mistake…teenagers like my best fwend who hav done something stupid by accident…well i think there should be a place where these girls could go for help and support coz they are just young girls who are so not ready to bring another life in this world it would be to much responsibility for them,
im not trying to say that she is all inocent, she should of been stronger…all im saying is sometimes it wasnt ment and instead of calling them horrid names you should at least try and help them…i agree not all teenagers do it by accident and some wait till there are ready.

as i said before there should be a place where teens like my best fwend can go to get checked oot and advise and support…she is sooo scared that she is pregnant but she doesnt deserve to get called a slut who cant keep her legs closed…because she puts her hands up and says even though i didnt think i had a choice i am still in the wrong and i think it takes guts to say that.

so please b 4 u call any one a slut, just think coz it might not be hope it seems and maybe one day you might be in that situation and want help from ppl but they will ture there backs on you coz u did on them…she is my best fwend and i wasnt going to turn aways from her in her hour of need am just not like that and i told her no matter what you do i will not judge you and i’ll always be here for you.

thank you if you took time to read this, it means alot to me !! xxx

what some people are saying is really horrible. teen mothers shouldnt be named slags. Im about to become a mum just at 17. And yer i am young, but i have my whole life ahead of me. Not all young mums are the same.

just some people are in different lifes. some of us have support of our other halfs. like me my boyfriend works, we just brought a flat together.

but some of us dnt have it that easy, and i wish people could understand that, not everyone has a other half that can be there for them or even support them. or the most common is that the father doesnt want to know.

there are only a few nice guys out there, and some women need more support than others, and that should bt understood by people of this world. Benefits are only a small amount of money that is given to parents. its not much at all. and some of us have that luck where we dont have to, but there are mothers out there trying their best for their children and only want the best for them.

And for them people sayin they are ’slags’ your soooo wrong. maybe if men like you didnt go round maybe babies like they are nothing then maybe it wouldnt happen. Its not just the women, its the men to. And it easy to name a mother….but why not the father.

And finding you pregnant might be a good thing or might not be at first, but its hard to get rid of a baby inside.i couldnt go through with it, its hard. And most people that have, would never go through it again…..

Having a baby and calming benefits isnt a bad thing, they have a baby to look after….and yes its hard work. mothers can go back to there jobs after or go back to studing. there so much time to do so.

so dnt judg us……..cz we are not all the same!!!!!!!

I cant believe those comments left by mash at the start! I’m 17 and I have 6 month old son, I stayed on at school and I’m taking an A level in maths and science, and I work very hard. I dont have a job but I dont claim benefits either as my partner who I have been with for 3 years now has his own business. I plan to get a job after I go to uni so I dont fit the stereotype of a typical teenage mum and I know a fair few people sho dont either! So before you go judging us you need to know what we are doing with our lives and how well we look after our children!!!

This blog makes for a very interesting read. I’m just wondering if any of you could get back to me as i’m currently producing a magazine aimed at young mums for my third year assignment. I would love to hear your thoughts. My email is corky_242@hotmail.com.

Ok… so I’m like 2 year late on this, but this page is coming up near the front of a google search, so there are obviously people reading it, therefore I shall continue…

“what a load of liberal nonsense. these slags should be shot and their bastard children sold apes”

“teenage mums are should learn to stop opening their legs because their awful children will all be criminals. the slag, i hate them all and their impoverished ugly children”

…my jaw has literally dropped to the floor. I just cannot express my disgust in words. I can tell you now. I would much rather be a teen mum, than a uneducated, fowl mouthed, prat like this.

I am 19. My children are 2.5 and 1. Me and my partner own our own home, I have my own business, and my children are being brought up to learn right and wrong and good manners (of which you obviously need to learn). I can safely say my situation and the way my so called “impoverished ugly children” are being brought up, is a hell of a lot better than non-teenage mum’s… who believe it or not, also claim benefits and live in council houses.

I know for a fact there are so many fantastic parents out there… who just happen to be a year or too shy of the “acceptable age” of being a parent.

So WAY TO GO Mash, on making a difference to the world with you vitally accurate comments!
