What hardships have you experienced as a teen mother?
I am writing a thesis paper on the hardships for teen mothers. If you have had a child (past or present) when you were under the ages of 20 years old, this question is for you.
What I am looking for is what types of hardships did you experience?
Do you think your child suffered more than children from older parents?
Was there anybody that helped you and guided you? If so, who?
These are just a few questions. However, my paper is titled Struggles of a Teenage Mother. So if you have a story that falls under there please share. Thank you.

I got engaged when I was 13 to an 18 year old man I amazingly am still in love with, he is the most amazing man I have ever met, but we are talking about my twins not my fiance :)
I was on birth control for 3 months when I was 13 before I missed 2 days and messed it over, when I was 14 I got pregnant. Now I dont believe in abortian, I consider it cold and cruel murder and I knew id never be able to deal with that sort of guilt.
So, Nine months later, not even fifteen yet, I was sitting in a hospital, my love sitting next to me and our twins. Vixen and Vex :)
Now, I did get behind one year of school because of all this, and that was really hard, but as soon as our children were born I moved in with my Fiance, and we still live there today, he is now a mechanic and i work at Subway for the time being, I am in grade 12 now, and my marks are passable and my attendance isent perfect but its not that bad. My Fiance stays home with our kids most of the day while im at school, then goes to work while im home doing homework, I only work at Subway very little time during the week, the money is just for little extra's :)
Im not saying it worked out like this for every teen mom, but mine didnt really screw me over that bad, I love my kids more than anything in this world and they are absolute angels, and I love my fiance for staying with me through all of this, we are getting married this summer, and the worst fight we have ever had was for me to get him to stop tickeling me :)
My life has changed, I know I wont be able to go onto further education, my family doesnt seem to have a strong connection with me anymore, job options are limited and I cant really go out partying, but hell, with my kids and my fiance, I need nothing else :)
Hope I helped
PS: To any teen girls who are pregnant, its really not as bad as you think its going to be :)

As a tender character, u might desire two move available in the market & experience lifestyles. Party, hang around with peers, u understand, are living somewhat. As a mother or father, u can have regulations. U are not able to move & come as u desire anymore b'cuz u have tasks. When u fully grasp this, u would possibly get depressed & now not experience lifestyles like u used two b4 u had been a mother or father. Adults can manage the strain of being a mother or father b'cuz they already skilled formative years and r cool with settling down. Teenagers r now not able four that style of dedication.
