"i am 19 this year and found myself to be pregnant! while i do love this baby, we must learn to be practical. grow yourself first, before deciding to tie yourself down. i am sure you wouold want onlt hte best for your child, but rite now u cant due to age and lack of proper career. so just move on, you will get a chance to be a mother again when you are move stable for it. bless you."

"Everyone on this board seems to be throwing negative messages at this girl. I ALSO had my first baby at 17 and it was the best thing that i have ever done! You consider all the things that you are going to lose before going ahead with it or at least i did. I can imagine she is sick of hearing, "you are wasting your life, its hard work, you loose your freedom",etc. I got my own house (mortgage) with my boyfriend (now husband) before the birth, worked full time before the birth so therefore provided my baby with everything it needed. I loved motherhood so much that i have gone on to have 2 more children and i am still only 23. We have both worked hard to provide and pay for them and i think that if this is what you want then GO FOR IT!"

"There are some people in the world that have gone off to college and cannot spell well. Some people does have a learning disability or other problems, so please don't judge someone that you have not met in person about their education. And how is it a shame for the child? My boyfriend's mother didn't have much education. She is not very smart, but he went to school and graduated and went to a college. He is doing well now and because his mother didn't have good education it didn't affect him at all. So what are you trying to say? "
