19 and Pregnant

Teen Pregnancy

On December 26, 2001 my whole life changed with the realization of my being pregnant. I was a normal everyday teen going to college and trying to work a full-time job. Suddenly I was told that I was going to be a parent, too. I thought my whole life was over. Everyone kept telling me that, and I eventually started to believe it.

However, after my sixth week of pregnancy, I came to understand that I can do whatever I set my mind to. I know that I'm young and I have a lot to learn, but I can do it if I try hard enough.

My whole life I have been told that I would never make it, but I think I have come very far. I graduated from high school with a 3.9 GPA, and I have finished a semester of college with a 3.3 GPA. I was the first in my family to go to college, too.

I am writing this story for all those teen mom's out there that can't talk to their parents, or anyone older than them. I know how you are feeling, because it seems like no one believes in me anymore. However, I will prove them wrong after August 30, 2002 when my baby is born. I am going to be the BEST mother, student, and hardest worker I can be.

A baby isn't a curse, it's a blessing that changes your life for the best, not the worst. A baby doesn't make you want to give up, it only makes you stronger, and it gives you one more purpose to strive for success.

#1 19 and pregnant!

Submitted by Anonymous on Jan 23rd, 2009.

I'm 19 and pregnant, my boyfriend is 24, I don't currently have a job but I'm looking, my boyfriend will have just started his final year at university when the baby is born and won't be able to support us all. We don't think we will be able afford to give the baby a very good upbringing. He has been very supportive and is willing to give up university and find a full time job but I've told him I don't want him to quit! I really want this baby and I think that we will be very good parents but all we have to offer it is love. I'm stuck and don't know what to do!
