First, what makes you assume I want a man?

"Nothing turns off guys her age more than a girl with a kid. She's going to have a hard time finding a decent man now."

I actually really haven't found this to be the case. Having a child is definitely an added challenge to dating, but I have never had anyone have a problem with the fact that I am a mom. The logistics of it get in the way more than anything. It's not a 'turn off' kind of situation.

Can you get me a source on those 'statistics'? My son and I ARE a proper family.

I don't think teenage parents are doomed to fail. I am a teenage parent (My son is 2 and I am 15.) And I think I am doing fine with my life. I do well in school and I have a job now. This girl however, will not go far. She was 15 years old and she PLANNED to have a baby when she KNEW and even told everyone that she knew she wasn't financially stable.

You say society sets up teen moms to fail. Miss, IT ISN'T SOCIETY, IT IS THE GIRL HERSELF by virtue of the fact that when "teen" mom gets pregnant, she does not yet have established finances, a full-time career job w/ decent salary, maturity of years even if she thinks she is "very mature" & finally a teen mom is usually not married to a man who can share responsibilities of baby! Don't blame others, Miss! U had the sex. U r very childish to place blame. Be an ADULT & OWN UP TO YOUR OWN MISTAKE

You're right. I am like so obsessed with violence, sex, and drugs right now that I have like five guns hiding under my mattress right now where my boyfriend and I fuck five times a day, after which we smoke five joints and then make really bad life decisions before breaking up with each other. It's a vicious cycle, I tell you. I hate the new world.

Well, it's so reassuring that teen parents have folks such as yourself up, ready, and willing to take time out of their day to bash someone else, rather than "well speaking on a statistical point of view..." you must've felt quite accomplished after making all that up and sending it out to all the hopeful teens out there, well i for one am sending out the biggest "congrats" i can to all those out there, enjoy your blessing, and for your "morality"...well you should just look the word up and see

You can rationalize your situation all you want but the fact remains that children raised by teen parents are more likely to grow up disadvantaged and messed up. I know full well your "new world." I understand your generation; its obsession with sex, drugs and violence, its fear of learning and its blindness to the consequences of choices and actions. You're a teen father; you're probably not going to remain with your lady and all your child will end up with is a broken home.

There's no such thing as "financial stability" there's those who a graced with excessive amounts of money, Those who are "mature", and those who just don't want "the hassle". I'm a proud teen father, and we're doing well we, being my lovely lady, and my wonderful baby girl, and our lives are more "stable" than those of both our parents'. so the "fact" that remains is, you have an acute mind. and i truly hope your below the ninth grade, because the "new world" is something you know nothing about.
