Things teen moms say

Every single time a teen mom says "my baby saved me" or "I was doing drugs and drinking and they got me out of that" or "my baby helped my depression and teen angst" etc, which it seems almost every young teen says about why it was good they had a baby, sorry but that's called being a teenager.. Usually you grow up and get over those things with age and maturity. Babies are not solutions, they're not meant to fix your lives. Statements like that don't make you a better parent, they just exasperate the fact that you had a lot of growing up to do. Own up to it and don't use it as a good reason for other teens to keep unplanned pregnancies.
