a REAL teen mother

So I get so sick of the way teen mothers are portrayed. It seems as if the media is determined to instill the fact that "if you get pregnant at an early age, you will fail." and "it is a never ending, doomed cycle." Also, I watch Teen Mom of MTV and let me just tell you; they are putting on like hell. So ask me anything. This is mostly to prove a point to all the olds and people who look down on me when I tell them my age(19) and the fact that I have a kid. And I'm not advocating for anybody of any age to go out and get pregnant because it's easy, or fun or cool or anything stupid like that. Also, I want any young girl who is currently pregnant in secret or currently a teen mother to pull herself up by the boot straps and KNOW that you CAN do this and well.
