   First of all, a lot of teen moms are ashamed of their condition because of the way society frowns on babies having babies. Read more on that here http://www.babylifetime.com/community/charity-society/ I you would like a day to day picture on the life of a teen mom, find a blog, and ask permission first if they are willing to share.. Here is a directory of mom blogs http://www.babylifetime.com/community/mommy-blogger/
   I would advice teen mom to first off find support with their family and community. Emotionally and financially, a teenager cannot care for an infant by herself. She should also strongly consider having her baby adopted if she cannot properly care and get support for her baby. This is for her own sake, and the sake of the baby’s life.

   I’m not a teen mom but I’d just like to say baby sibs are an amazing birth control. Me (bro is 2) and my friend (step bro is 3) told each other this the other day and laughed. But it’s so true, you never know how much work they are! I wanted 5 kids before my bro and now I want none (EVER). it’s not that I don’t like kids (well that’s like 50/50 lol), it’s just I think I would be a horrible mother as well as all the work.

   I am 19 years old and have a 2 year old son. As a teen mother, I’ve gratefully learned a lot and have grown proudly. Yes I shouldn’t have had sex young, especially before marriage; but life happens and we all make mistakes. I personally took it as a wake up call. I didn’t drop out, I didn’t ask for a hand out; I did it all on my own. The way I see it, I was responsible enough to make the decision to have sex, so I dealt with the consequences. I graduated high school, got a job and raised my son on my own. To this day, I’ve never asked for food stamps or welfare. I take pride in knowing that the clothes on my son’s back and the food on the table comes from money I worked hard for and earned, and it doesn’t get any better than that.
   My son is my pride & joy, and I honestly would not have changed a thing.
   Hope that helped =)

   I’m 17 years old, and mom to a baby girl.

   I was 15 years old when I got pregnant. I was on birth control and using a condom, but somehow, it still happened. I like think it meant to be.
   My bf left me, after I refused to get an abortion. And since then, thing only got worse. I had to move out of my house, ’cause my parents weren’t coming around.
   After a long list of complications, my daughter was born. I’m not gonna lie and say everything has been perfect, but she gives me strength and is the reason I don’t give up.
   After a while, things get better and they start falling into place.
   I live on my own, I started college, I take care of my daughter, I don’t depend of the gorvernment. It’s not impossible.

   Do I encourage other teens to get pregnant?
   Certainly NOT. It’s far from easy. You trade you careless years for responsabilities, and it’s true that a baby it’s always a blessing, but it’s easier when you are old enough, financially stable and mature.

   Do I regret my daughter?
   NO. I don’t regret her. However, I do regret not waiting longer to have her. Thing would’ve been a lot easier in a few years.

   Am I a good mom?
   I don’t know. But I try to do my best. My daughter is my priority, everthing revolves around her. My decisions and my daily life are based on what’s best for her. I might not be the best mom, but I love my daughter with my life, and I’m willing to do everything it takes for her to be ok.

   My advice
   To other teen moms:
   Do everything for your baby. Let him/her be the reason of your existance, that way all your decision will benefit them.
   Don’t let what others say get to you. Age doesn’t defines how good of a mother you are. Keep your head up.
   It’s ok to ask for help. Many of us are ashamed to ask for help, ’cause people we’ll think we are not good enough, but the truth is we are still teens, we are learning, and as long as you’re doing your best, we can get a little help.Don’t let a man define you as a mother.
   Learn from your mistakes.
   Never give up.

   To teens in general:
   If you are gonna have sex
   BE SAFE! Condoms and birth controls are never 100% safe, so make sure you have a back up plan.
   Don’t judge teen mom, you don’t know what we’ve gone or are going through.
   Learn from our mistakes, and don’t repeat them.
