This needs to end

- It's okay to get married at a young age and know when it's the right time. If I find someone who I would love and enjoy spending the rest of my life with at 16, I will. If I want to get married at 18, I will. There is nothing wrong with doing so. Just like there is nothing wrong with waiting until you are older

- Being a teen parent, planned or otherwise is nothing to be ashamed of. Age does not determine how good of a parent someone is. If I want to have a child at 18 and I have the means to do so I will. You, nor anyone else has the right to interrogate anyone who makes it clear that they intend to TTC at a young age. It is THEIR choice. Not yours. Asking them, "do you have enough money?", "what about school?", "you do know how much babies cost right?" Accomplishes nothing and frankly, it is absolutely NONE of your business. That girl is the only one who knows if she is ready or not. 

- Not all of us are immature. There are still young people out there that are driven, intelligent and know what they want in life. And that's okay. You are not their parent. Give them solid, kind advice or move on. 

I am an 18 year old, married woman with a planned child on the way. I couldn't be happier with my decisions. I know that I'm ready and I will not explain myself to anyone. Neither should anyone else. So stop and think before you judge young women for their choices. Not all of us are naive and clueless. Stop treating us like we are.
