Hello my lovelys!! Tonights post will be about Teen pregnancy and the struggles that come along with it. The reason why im posting about this subject is because im watching the Teen Mom Finale special as im typing. I Love this show. Ive been watching these girls since they were on the show 16 and Pregnant. Each of these girls have had it rough, and I admire how they have been able to get through the hard times and still be good mothers. (well some of them)
                                                      
Even though im not a teen anymore, I can relate because I did have my daughter when I was a teen. I may not have been 16 but having her at the age of 18 was just as hard. My life took a major turn at the age of 17. Some things happened and I ended up moving to the city with my best friend and her boyfriend at the time. I was having a good time living without the supervision of my parents, but let me tell you, I paid the ultimate price for that "good time". While living with my friend, she and her ex-boyfriend introduced me to his cousin. And I really dont want to go into details about the day I met him because it would never end. But, what I can tell you is that I disliked him at the very beginning. He was so cocky and ssooooo not my type. I was very petite... at the time.lol. And here comes this 6ft 8, jock and all I could think was, what were they thinking setting me up with this giant? lol. but as the night went on something came over us and next thing you know the words I love you are coming out of his mouth around 4 something in the morning.(we stayed up literally all night talking and getting to know each other) It was soo funny because they kinda slipped out, so as soon as he realized what just happened he said "im sorry I just tell everybody I love them." And from that night on we were literally inseparable, I dont even know how many "sneeking out" nights we spent together. But like every other love story, there were some speed bumps, but they didnt stop me from transferring to a new school in the city. Little did I know that would bring more problems. Even through the problems were there we still couldnt stay away from each other. So during one of our problems when we werent together, I found out I was pregnant.

Us before Miss Mia came to the world

1 month into being 18 I find out. Oh man, 18 is supposed to be the best year ever... right? Well I spent mine being pregnant in high school, throwing up on my way to the bus stop and during classes, also just not being able to do what every other 18 year old does. Even though I got pregnant while trying to live my independent life, it never stopped me from graduating high school. I graduated being valedictorian, homecoming queen and prom queen. High school was the best even being pregnant. Now there may be more the story but when I hear some girls say they didnt graduate because they got pregnant, I dont think thats a good enough reason. Ive seen alot of girls pregnant in school and they've graduated. But like I said there may be more to the story. So if I offend those of you who were pregnant and in that situation to where there was more to the reason why you didnt graduate, I apoligize.

Us at prom, I believe I was about 3 or 4 months here.(not sure)

Now 4 years later from the day we met, we are married and our daughter will be turning 3 in less than a month. We still have speed bumps but no relationship is perfect. By sharing my story, in no way am I saying another relationship is going to turn out the exact way, but I will say once you find out you are pregnant whether you're ready or not just think about the situations you put your child in because it's not all about you anymore. And please, please, please when you have a child dont think that just because someone else loves your child means you dont have to watch or take care of them. Yea it's nice to get help when you need it but come on you need to ask yourself "who had sex and the child in the first place?" Im nowhere near being a perfect mom, but when YOUR child is calling granny "mom" there's a problem. And once again I may be pushing some peoples buttons with these comments, but hey im intitled to my opinion, thats why this is my blog, but so are you and if you feel im being rude or getting out of line im sorry. So ending my post for tonight, ill say think about what you're doing when you find yourself in a bed thinking you're grown when you're really not. Love yall and thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed.
