Teenage Pregancy

 
Description: Have you experience of having children when still young yourself?

Newest Review: ... a flat he bought last year (which I am very proud of him for, as he is only 21!) which we now live in as a little family. The two of us decided to change our lives for the baby as we want to be great parents, we both sold our own cars and bought a family car together with the money (A renault Scenic). Everyone always spoke of how difficult pregnancy is (which i had always been worried about) ... more

 ... but to be honest I didn't find it too bad, I enjoyed being pregnant but as I am young (and probably look younger) was worried about what people would say or think of my bump! I did get terrible back ache throughout the pregnancy, and towards the end I ...more

- Teenage Pregnancy - I am a teenage mother (18 years old) I fell pregnant whilst I was still 17. I have been with my partner over 2 years and it was a shock when we found out that I was pregnant (took a while to sink in!) I had always wanted to be a hairdresser so was working in a top high street hairdressers at the time and was completing my NVQ. I decided that the long hours I was working weren't going to work around a baby if I was going to be a mother who would care for my own child as much as I can, so left the job and am currently carrying on finishing off my Level 2 hairdressing at college and plan to get a job as soon as becomes possible to work around our ...  Read the complete review

I have decided to share my very personal story surrounding teen pregnancy because although every story is unique in some way, I'm not sure I will ever find anyone who can relate to every aspect of my experience. I will begin by saying I am now 25, so a lot of the events in this story took place a few years ago now, starting from when I was just 15. I was certainly not your stereotypical chavish teenager who put it about a lot, ended up getting pregnant in order to claim benefits and never do a days work, as you often see portrayed in the media. I don't think anybody that knew me would have predicted this would happen to me. I was more of a hippieish tomboy. I ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Why (285 words)

In my opinion, the whole topic of teenage pregancy is a sensitive one, and one that not many people want to talk about. But it has gotten to the point where something needs to be done. I mean if you look in the papers recently you will have read about the 13 year old dad. How can a child be a parent, as after all, that is what he is a dad. In general, I think that is you are going to get pregnant under the age of 16, then you need to pay the consequences, after all I dont believe in abortions, as I believe that it is wrong and the easy way out. Not many parents actually sit down with their children and have a convseration on this subject, which I think is ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Teenage Pregancy: From An Auntie's Point Of View (1501 words)

Firstly I should mention that I am 23 years of age and I have no children. You're now asking yourself why I'm writing on this topic! Well after reading through several accounts I thought I would give an account but from a different viewpoint. My sister was 17 when she found out she was to be expecting. I received a very cryptic call and was told to return home (6 hour train journey) as soon as possible. It was midnight before I reached home and slumped on the sofa. I knew something big was going on as the family were tense and my sister was in a seriously cranky mood. They'd made her wait up for me getting home, which was unusual. When she told me, my ...  Read the complete review
