Regardless of what anyone thinks and says... just because teen girls have kids doenst mean that they will be failures in life. I have 2 amazing kids... graduated high school w the two kids work fulltime and support my family so before ppl start runnin their mouths sayn that all teen moms live off welfare and mooch from the government u btr realize cuz dat aint true

I AM A 28 YEAR OLD MOTHER OF 5 CHILDREN THE OLDEST BEING 14. I WAS 14 WHEN I HADE HIM. AT 17 I WAS MARIED 18 PREGNANT WITH KID #2 AT 19 KID #3 AND AT 21 KID #4 NOW I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD I WOULDENT TRAID MY KIDS FOR THE WORLD.HONESTLY I WOULD SAY IF IT WERNT FOR MY OLDEST I WOULD BE IN THE SAME SITUATION ALOT OF THE OTHER KIDS MY AGE DID ON DRUGS OR DEAD BECAUSE OF DRUGS I GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN IN WASHINGTON COUNTY MAINE IF YOU HAVE HEARD OF IT ITS PROBLY BECAUSE OF TIME MAGAZINE CALLING IT HILL BILLY HARION CAPITAL OF THE WORLD BECAUSE OF ITS OXYCONTIN POBLEM.I JUST WANT TO SAY WHILE PEOPLE ARE POINTING OUT TEEN PREGNANCY AS A PROBLEM AND IT IS. BUT SO ARE DRUGS AMONG TEENS AND IM WILLING TO BET THAT ALOT MORE TEENS ARE DYING FROM DRUG OVERDOSE THEN GIVING BIRTH. BUT YOU DONT HEAR NEARLY AS MUCH ABOUT THAT.AS FOR WHOS FALT IT IS. I WOULD SAY IT IS THE FALTOF THE TEEN! REGARDLES OF THERE UP BRINGING I HAD A LOVING HOME ANYTHING I COULD EVER WANT BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I HAD MY PARENTS TRUST. DOES THAT MAKE THEM BAD PARENTS? AS FOR SUPORTING THE CHILDREN OF TEEN MOMS YES IM SURE IN MOST CASES THE GOVERMENT IS SUPORTNG THEM.BUT IN THE LONG RUN WHAT IS WORSE ON THE STATE OR COMUNITY OR GOV.. PREGNANT TEENS OR TEENS ON DRUGS THESE KIDS NEED EDUCATION AND BE ABLE TO OBTAIN BIRTH CONTROLE WITH OUT THERE PARENTS CONSENT IF THESE KIDS CANT TELL THERE PARENTS THAY WANT BIRTH CONTROLE WHO IS GONNA HELP THEM. HOW WILL THAY GET IT
