Im so confused as to why people are STILL shaming young mothers.

If you dont agree with it than that is fine, you dont have to agree, but shaming someone, putting someone else down for there age at which they have a child, does that make you any better of a person? No.

Every teen mother is different.

Some teen mothers are still in school, living with there parents, doing it all alone but atleast they are being mature enough and responsible enough to raise that child and love and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.nurture">nurture</a> that child. They could eventually get there lives together, have a successful job and even be doing better than an adult with a child!

Some teen mothers pretty much already live an adult life.

They have already graduated.

They are living with there significant others.

They have a good paying job.

They pay there bills, they are finicially able to have a child and emotionally ready for one as well.

But yet people STILL are shaming them, not because of who they are, but because of the age at which the fell pregnant.

"It doesnt matter if you have your life together because your only __ years old, you will regret it, that child was just a mistake " yes that as an actual comment i read.

Why cant we just build eachother up? Motivate eachother? Give our stories of sucess instead of failure?

I am a teen mother and guess what i have NO shame at all. I am proud, i am happy and i will never regret my child.

I am only 18 but guess what i live that adult life i explained earlier.

Im starting college this August all for my soon to be born daughter.

Her father goes to work every single day, sick or not, and even works over time (sometimes).

He doesnt have to do this, we always have money left over even after we pay the bills and buy her stuff, but he does it so he can surprise us and take us out to nice places.

Now see if it was a 30 year old in my position everyone would say "you have your life together thats wonderful, and going to college for your daughter your such a great mom" but since im so young im still labled as "immature, and irresponsible"

I dont care what age you are, what skin color you have, or what you look like.

As long as you are trying, as long as you are being a mother to your child, as long as you are pushing through and doing everything that you can for your child, your a damn good mother to me.

Thats how i wish it was for everyone.

So to all the teen moms who get shamed, or critisized or talked down to because of your age, i would say don't listen to anyone.

You do what is best for your child.

You do what you think is right as a mother.

You ignore the hateful comments bc i am living proof that you CAN be a young mom and still have your life together for that child.
