Theres some really narrow minded people on here its awful dont you think?
Answer:
Some people slag off off others because they do not look at the whole picture. Don't worry about what others think. Do what you feel is right. It is your life but my only criticism to my own comment is don't hurt others while you are doing it.
Takes all kinds I guess
Everyone is entitled to an opinion that's what makes democracies
Unfortunately, you are the exception to the rule like, all Muslims are not terrorists
everyone is entitled to hava an opinion, you just gave yours, we have to take the good answers to get to the good ones.
I think alot of it is they don't think they are mature or responsible. I was a young mother too, but I had a good job and my own place and ended up gettin gmarried to my "baby daddy"
because people are self conscious, so any way they can bring down someone else, they do it, so it can make them feel better about the things they worry about, and so it makes their problems look not so bad.
What is even worse are the people who criticize others for their exiguous use of punctuation. Haven't they ever heard of e e cummings?
you are the exception to the rule then..
wake up and realize most young parents do not have successful lives and live off the government systems forever..
I had a child at 17, and I too, am the exception..
Hopefully I get off right before you get on.
Asking questions like this shows your age.
There are narrow minded people everywhere, it's their way of coping with world. You ignore them and live your life as you see is best for you and your family.
if you are a very young mom and everything is going great for you ... congradulations.. sadly you are the exception to the rule
I'm pretty narrow-minded at times but hey life's too short to be petty.
Good for you, but the people you say are narrow minded probably just think that there are a lot of very young parents who should follow your example but unfortunately do not.
Everyone has a right to comment, if that is the worst thing that happens to you today luv count yourself lucky. Worry about real issues. UTGAJ
yes i agree with you it's disgraceful, nice spelling by the way!
there are some very nasty narrow minded people most from america or jesus loving groups.
These issues are a black and white for some people. You either don't have a child until you are twenty five or you are a whore at sixteen. It's sad. People jump from one extreme to the other. These are the same people who think they are correct all the time.
While I don't condone teen pregnancy or suggest it--I know how it is. I was seventeen when I got pregnant with my son--I was living on with my HUSBAND, had a great job, working on my degree, had graduated from HS a year early, and taking full care (he lives with us) of my cousin. I have never used government assistance OR needed parental help.
So no, I don't use their tax dollars, I don't use my parents--who actually live 10 states away, I'm not a whore and I'm married.
The people who see it in black and white probably see everything that way. It's pitiful and sad.
Hi >
I am "broad-minded", so no effect to me.
However I agree that some folks using this site have a narrow, uneducated grip of stuff.
Fair play to you for the observation
The internet is totally anonymous, so people say stuff that they wouldn't dare say to someone directly. I don't find these flamers funny, but some people do, and some people just have a really negative attitude to young mums.
In the end it's just their opinons, though. Don't let strangers upset you... ignore them or if they're really out of order, report the post without responding directly... like these people are likely to be perfect in every aspect of their own lives anyway?
that's life
For the majority it dosn't work out. But for a few like your self it clearly has, so fair play!
You have got to remember that the people on here do not know you as an individual and will make snap judgements. It is much easier to size people up face to face.
THANK YOU!! I am still pretty mad about that.. "I pay enough taxes" or whatever. Those people I don't care how old they freaking are those are the ones that should NEVER have children..
Good for you! I am glad someone else out there is sane.. See I am also a young mommy just like you, a little younger but yeah. I got pregnant with my son when I was 13 (raped and got pregnant). I took care of my child 100% I didn't recieve any help at all from my foster parents or the system. I worked to make money babysitting, mowing yards, inhome care for older people and pregnant women. I paid for child care, bills, food, diapers, formula EVERYTHING all by myself even though everyone around me thoguht I was stupid for not having an abortion. I moved out on my own when I was 15 and have lived on my own ever since. I am now 20 and sicne my son my husband and I have had a 2 almost 3 year old and a 12 and 1/2 week old both girls. My husband passed away when I was pregnant but my kids and I are doing just fine, I homeschooled myself and graduated HS early and then I went straight to college. I am still in college, work full time and I am not a judgemental a$s like 99% of those people who answered that question.
i totally agree with u im a 20 yr old mum of a baby of 18mths and ive been with his dad for 5 years i dont see why people think young mums r bad there just as good as older mums
hey chick i understand why ppl say what they say as a general rule ppl have a moan at those who have a baby to get a council house and live off benefits. I admire ppl like u who get off there bums and work to support there family. Like u i was and still am a young mum with the childs dad and we both work. Please dont let narrow minded ppl get to u they dont have a life themselves so dont worry chick!!
its driving me nuts to,my little sis fell pregnant at 17years old and had a lovely wee boy she is single,i got married and had a wee boy to
even though my boy came from the so called perfect family hes a cheeky fart compared to my nephew,so i will put my hand up and say my
single teenager little sis has made a better job bring up her wee boy than me.
i no!!
i totally agree with you! i had my first child when i was 21 not as young as some mums but some young mums do the right thing by that child. even an adult grows up when they have there own child and most young mums do end up finishing school because they know they have a little one to support. i take my hat of to you for doing the best for your child and not being a bum like most adults with kids. i now have 2 kids my husband works full time and i work part time i`m also looking to start a college course to get some where in life good luck to all them young mums don`t let narrow minded idiots think you are stupid, young and immature prove them wrong:)
Well said, I couldn't agree more. It's time these narrow minded idiots stopped blaming teen mums for the countries problems and looked at the bigger picture for once!
I too was a teen mum, and have also been with their father for 6 years. I have 10 GCSEs and 5 A-Levels under my belt despite "having my life ruined" as some stupid people would think! I don't work at the minute as fortunately my partner has a good job, i take care of my baby daughter and i look forward to start my career in a couple of years after I've seen my gorgeous little girl grow up.
Are all middle aged people good parents? Certainly not! We are not foolish enough in general to pigeon hole the millions of parents in this country into the same box. Some are great and some are absolutely appalling.
So please have the decency to treat so called "teen mums" with the same respect and not be so damn prejudice against all of us just because of the minority of them in the press out there are giving us a bad name!!
