I Was a Teen Mom

I married right out of high school because I was pregnant at 17. I love my son more than anything else in the world and he's the greatest blessing in my life. But if there are any young girls reading this I can't stress strongly enough how one seemingly simple moment of passion can disrupt the course of your entire life forever. Because I got pregnant I couldn't follow through with any of my life plans and I married a man who felt he had to do the right thing rather than a man who really loved me. As a result I've not known love and real affection in my adult life.

Good advice if only they listen. It is a shame you never got to feel real love and affection.

I agree with you. Although I wasn't 17, I was 22, it changed all my dreams and hopes.

Sage advice.

But, you've got a lot of life yet to change that last bit

Lonely let me add you are not alone. I got married young for the same reason...a child on the way...but it didnt last long as she cheated with anyone she could while I was working two jobs so she could stay at home.

Sorry to hear this. I know how much regret can affect our lives. It changes how we would normally view things. At least that didn't transfer to your son. You are a good mom.

Sorry to hear this :( .. I am glad atleast you have a son you are proud of!

That is really sad but your advice should be heeded by all young girls rather than the liberal nonsense they often get pushed at them. Thanks for sharing!
