I had my daughter when I was 17 an not out of high school- It was very hard and very stressful time for me and everyone around me- I wasn't with the father- and of course I thought I would be but also didn't plan to get pregnant either and I was living wherever because my parents were upset with me- They expected there little girl to grow up before there baby had a baby- I ended up having to complete High school early so I was able to graduate and give birth to my baby with out missing any school. I was a single mother for 4 years- and it was the hardest job that anyone could be- I would have done anything to bring back the going to prom my senior year going to parties with friends and being a teen but instead I was home because I was pregnant-
I am now 24 and married for 5 months to a great man- We have a 3 year old daughter together and are trying to have another- He has now adopted my 6 year old - cause her dad was never around and it was so hard on her to deal with that- Thats why I wish I would have waited till I was married so my daughter didn't have to grow up to know her dad was never around for her-
My advise to you is WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE MARRIED AND YOU FIND THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE- YOU MIGHT WANT A BABY BUT A BABY IS BY NO MEANS GOING TO KEEP YOU WITH THE FATHER / BOYFRIEND- EVERYTHING CHANGES WHEN A BABY COMES- YOUR LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME YOU NOT ONLY HAVE TO CARE FOR YOURSELF BUT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING-
PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT EACH AND EVERYTHING YOU DO AND PLACES YOU GO ON A DAILY BASES AND THINK- WHAT IF I HAD A BABY COULD I DO THIS OR THAT??? PROBABLY NOT- ENJOY YOUR LIFE WHILE YOU ARE STILL YOUNG AND YOU HAVE THE CHANCE-
MUCH LOVE-
