Answer 1

Hi! I was 15 when I had my first child..I wont lie to you and tell you its all easy and things like that..I lost all of my friends, her real father has not seen her in two years and I had no choice but to drop out of school.

Please do me a favor and try to stay in school. Do you have a support system that can help you with daycare or anything? Because that was my problem i had no support system and no money. I went to a school for a while that had a daycare there but they took away the program because they lost the funding for it..

I am married now with another child and my daughter is an amazing 5 year old about to start kindergarten..Dont get discouraged and dont let people put you down or judge you. Trust me that this mistake will end up being the best thing that ever happened to you.  The only thing that I regret is not staying in school..There isnt much I can do without a diploma. I am working toward getting my GED and getting my degree in early childhood education..Please remember one thing because I am sure you have heard this alot.

Having a child at 15 will not RUIN your life--It will CHANGE it..And it is up to you how much..Do what you need to do and please dont turn into another steriotype..♥
