    Well, I am 19 & am expecting my second Baby in the next few days so have a strong opinion on this subject. I believe teen parents are very stereotyped & although I realise that a high percentage of them aren't financially or emotionally prepared for a Baby, some are. Both my children are to my fiance, we support ourselves financially, we are both very mature, he works full time & I am a stay at home mum because I believe that's what my children need, I will go to work part-time once they both attend school & we both have excellent high school grades & fully intend on continuing our education in order to achieve our chosen careers. Our children are our priority & my son has a stable routine & is happy & healthy. I don't think parents should be judged on their age - I know 40 year old mother's who are doing a lot worse for their kids than I am. I am not so naive as to say that getting pregnant at 16 is a great idea but if you put the effort in, you can make it work & I actually feel that my life will pan out better this way because I will be able t concentrate on my career once I start it without interrupting it 5 years down the line to have kids.

    • I am also 19 and admire you for what you have done.I am also 19 and wish to have kids. My fiance and i both work full time and have graduated high school. I do not plan on going to college b/c i am more of a family person. He is oging to attend college in the fall. I know from taking his little brother for a walk (who's 2) teh looks we get and i don't think it's right. I'm 19 have lived on my own by choice for a year and am very independant and responsable. But people don't care about that they just see a "teen" with a kid. But i just thaught i'ld wish you luck and say good job.

    • Thank you for your supportive comment. I wish you luck with starting your own family. It is hard work and you do lose a lot of time to yourself so enjoy that while you can. I mainly miss getting time with my partner so make sure you have enjoyed each other's company. All the best xxx

    • well i think that just cuz your 19 doesnt mean you have to go out and get pregnant! i think it's dumb because is that what you really want for the rest of your lives think about your big goals in life if you dont have any goals go out and try to set new goals for you everyday!!!!!!!! you are dumb for having your 2nd kid @ 19 WOW!!!!! im guessing you wernt so smart!!!!!! dumb ass!!!

    • I'm guessing her goal was to have 2 kids and a family at an age where she can still be active and be energetic... Young kids need energetic parents.
      Your comment is dumb

      you said you live independantly on you own? How will you continue to be financially secure when you give up your job to have kids and the boyfriend gives up his job to go back college?
      That is what people mean by 'not secure'.
      At this age people are still setting the foundations for their education and future path in life. If that stage is inturruped with a baby they most are forced to skip that stage and end up falling into lifetime povety.
