I'm not one to judge, in fact I think of myself as very open-minded but recently I've been getting annoyed by teen moms. When I'm on facebook and there's a young girl that says "I'm gonna be a mommy!" it just makes me mad. You're 14-17 and you're excited about that? Yes, it's exciting but it's not something to really shout out to the world as a teenager, well not right away anyway. I'm happy for them, I really am but impulsively I think "Seriously, another girl who's pregnant?" and then I'm like "Shit, what am I thinking? I'm such a hypocrite". I laugh at the girls on Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant. Then I feel bad because I was only 15 when I became a mom. But then when someone else says something about it, particularly someone who has never been a parent say these sort of things, I find myself defending these young mothers. It's quite odd. I'm not trying to sound like one of those dumbass teenagers who say "I'm very mature for my age, my mind set is beyong 15 years old" but I have been told that I act years beyond my actual age. Is this normal or am I just a hypocrite? Or is my mature mind set making me think I'm older than I really am which is causing me to look down on young mothers? Haha, I don't know if that can happen, just a thought.

      IMHO, It's the joy of bringing a product of your love and affection into the world. A piece of you and your lover in one. It's offensive to our nature when young people get pregnant because typically they haven't experienced enough yet to know what true love is; and having a kid is all about true love. Once you have a child you'll love nobody more than that child-it's such a primal instinct of women. I think it's weird when people are anti-children, it just goes against nature. But more power to you and those like you who don't want children honestly, it's kind of getting crowded in the world... Some of us need to continue the race though; we shouldn't just all stop having children.

      The ULTIMATE PENETRATION.
      Except... going the other way.

    :'( I'm really pissed because I had a beautiful submission ready to post and everything I typed completely disappeared. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

    But I will say this, I completely understand what you're saying. I am also a 'teen mom'. I got pregnant when I was 17 (we were together 'exclusively' a whopping 10 months before I became pregnant, we're still together), had my baby when I was 18. I'll be 20 before the year ends and my son will be 1 in May.
    You know the tough road that is ahead for these girls. A new life should be celebrated, but when the conditions are as such, it should be in a more..modest way.
    I got rid of my facebook page a while ago, but I never announced my pregnancy to my "fb friends" even though I was anxious and excited. I knew I'd get negative responses, hell, if I heard a 17 year old announcing her pregnancy, I wouldn't have good things to say..I did announce his name and weight and size after I had him.
    It annoys me that we get grouped together because our maturity levels, situations and circumstances are not all the same. People shouldn't assume things just because we had our kids young. Things happen. The only way to prevent babies is abstinence!
    Blahhh it's getting late, I'm tired and I'm rambling now lol, their reality will hit them soon enough. Good luck to you and your munchkin!

    Normal.

    I see teen Moms shit-talking other teen Moms all of the time.

    I saw one the other day on my Facebook (she is 20 now) saying "OMG all of these young girls having all of these babied like it's a new trend or sumthing smh" and one of her friends commented "...don't you have two kids?" and her reply was "yeah, but i had them two years ago, not like now when every1 is having babies".

    I personally find it funny when they stop referring to themselves as anything else but "omg im a mommy omg!". I find it funny because my older friends (25+) that have kids don't do that, nor are their over 9000 pictures or status updates about their "baby bump! omg!"... If I posted any of this on my Facebook, I'd have so many poorly articulated angry-young-mommy replies (and so quickly too) that my computer would crash.

    I know a lot of young moms that are grown now. They all tell me to wait, they say they love their kids but they missed out on their youth. It pains me to see young girls becoming Mothers when they have yet to become themselves...

    You know what its like, and it sounds like you know more about values and self respect than the usual teen moms.
    from the sounds of it, you seem more mature and respectful. Your not a hypocrite.
    Good job and good luck to you.
