Teen Moms

I'm going to be a teen mom by choice, I'll be 19 when my child is born. But I don't like the stigma that the term brings when people hear it. They automatically assume your child was an accident, that you are on welfare and you don't have enough money to support your child. They think you're a drop out and will have no future. I'm none of those things and I don't want to be associated with it. 

I hear some women kind of brag about being a teen mom and that's all fine and dandy but I personally wouldn't throw it around for all to know. I want them to see me for how good of a parent I will be, not my age. 

Edit: I don't live at home. I'm actually married with my own home.
