@jaydeybugz more is on the mom cuz she has a choice. like getting an abortion and adoption. they make it harder for themselves by keeping it. and they shouldn't have opened their legs to guys who they thought were bad boys or hot

I get the job first but she can do high school by mail or computer. I may only work retail and not make much but having even just my high school was needed. Plus you need it for any other education classes.

All the way up until 13 I was in foster care, but by 14 I moved out. My dad was never in the picture and my mom wasn't much better. So to cope with my life I started going to parties. One night I got drunk and my boyfriend took advantage of me. We split up for a month until I found out I was pregnant. We got back together and I'll admit it was hard at first. 6 years later I'm still trying to get over it, but our life and this family is perfect. We are engaged and are planning our wedding!

Teen mothers:.ONLY 1/3 get HS diploma. 80% will be on welfare !The children of teen mothers have lower birth weights, are more likely to perform poorly in school, do drugs, join gangs, be violent, and are at greater risk of abuse and neglect & are 13 percent more likely to end up in prison while teen daughters are 22 percent more likely to become teen mothers themselves

@WH1PP3DCR34M I wish u luck in following a career path but having another kid doesn't make sense now just get your school done & then worry about starting a family
