Girls Who Parented

These are real girls who have parented as teen mothers...

Myranda:
She found out she was 3 months pregnant when she was 15. At that point she had been with her boyfriend for about 6 months. She thought they were in love, but she was wrong. She said when she told him she was pregnant, he told her to get an abortion and that it wasn't his. He then told her that he hated her and that he wanted a blood test on the baby.
She said that even though he is not there for her son, his family is very supportive and love him very much. The baby is now 3 months old and the father has only seen him once. Her advice is to wait until you know who the right person is, and to make sure that he loves you and the baby and to make sure he will be there for the both of you because it is really hard to raise one on your own. She is very thankful that both families help out in raising her son.

Anastasia:
She got pregnant when she was 13. Some people made the suggestion that she should get an abortion, and that she would never get anywhere in life. She said that it was the best decision that she has ever made to keep her son.
She is now 18 and her son is 4. She graduated from high school and is now in college. She says that because of her son she has the motivation and determination to make something more of her life. She is going to improve to the world, herself, and her son that nothing is impossible. She says that everything she does is for him and she thinks twice about anything that will affect him in a bad way.

Patrice:
This girl had her first kid when she was in the 7th grade. She is now in the 9th grade and is 15 while her son is 22 months.
She says that at first she didn't know what to do, but now she enjoys being a teen mother. She doesn't go places she used to anymore, but she says she is young, smart and beautiful and can spend more time with her son, and says that he is her bundle of joy.
