A year ago...I was about to give birth to a beautiful baby boy which i did and he was beautiful but people dispy'ed the fact that i was a teen mom and they had so many things to say which is okay i understand i get the fact that they didn't think it was the right time for me to has a child But you know what i can say definitly that i have a beautiful child that i love to death and im still going to school and graduating this year and my husband which i married 3 months after my child was born, they are the two greatest things i could ask for I am proud to say im a good mom and too all them young mom, single moms it's okay you shouldnt care what people have to say and don't let them get you down you can do it. I did open my legs and yes i am proud to say i'm responsible enough to be a mom. People can say what they want to say but guess what i proved them wrong and all the mom's who think they cant do it you can ive did it. and im probabley more responsible then some 40 year old moms or some 20 year old mom's. I am a good mom!.No im not recommending it and i am financially stable im just saying that to the people who already are pregnant then i think that it is fine.

Would you honestly recommend to others the social, financial, and personal consequences of having a baby before you have a stable environment for that child?

Since when is a college student financially stable? Are you and your husband able to support both of you, a child, and pay for your full tuition? That's pretty impressive. I'd be interested in reading a blog on this.

See what i dont get is why your attacking me on this subject i was simply making a statement and you jump all over my back im not here to start a fight or anything because i was trying to be encouraging for some young parents, Yes kids are at expensive but they love you and that is all that i can ask for, not as many people are as fortunate as i am to have a husband whose working at a hospital and i know that but im doing something that i love and i know that im doing the right thing. i'm trying to encourage not start an arguement. because if i wanted to do that i would go on the debates.

... these blogs are meant to be progressive. Progressive results in debating. The comment area in personal blogs often results in discussions. My comments were not a personal attack; they were very specific questions directed towards you that you choose to ignore, resulting in further inquiry that you have, once again, ignored.

I, personally, do not agree with blogs like yours that contain an attitude condoning teenage pregnancy. It encourages irresponsible behavior and creates the appearance that everything will "be ok" when in fact it's not; socially, economically, or otherwise. I have a difficult time believing that you, as a high school or college student, are capable of financially and emotionally supporting a child, much less dealing with a marriage. These are complex things, yet you make them sound so easy.

I would suggest a blog approaching your experiences with young marriage and teenage birth in a more honest light, discussing the trials as well as the positive parts. Life isn't a bed of roses, and it's not fair for you to pretend that it is when there are many others who could benefit from learning about your mistakes.

Your message is great and all, but could you try breaking it up into...sentences? Also, no crap you opened your legs. You had a kid, right? When you put it that way, it makes it sound like you think your child was some type of punishment.

I love abortion. Read more here:
