Teen moms can be traced back for years and years and people are now noticing that there are teen moms in this century when they have been around forever. Yes, the rate of teen pregnancy is a bit higher than before but nothing is that much different. I know for a fact that teens are annoyed with obnoxious questions that they don't want to hear because I myself am a teen mom. Being a teen mom is not easy what so ever! Being a mom alone is a lot, but when you're in high school and juggling homework and a baby is the most difficult thing I have ever experienced. The one thing I hate the most is when people makes comments towards me being a teen mom or just asking personal questions that should not concern them at all.

"Are you still with the baby daddy/Is he supportive?"

Why is that anyones buisness even if they weren't teen parents? What if the reply isn't good feed back? Bringing up the dad in any way is personal together or not. Some guys do run off but not all guys are bad. Even if my boyfriend wasn't there for me, he will always be there for our son. Some may not be that way so why even ask?

"The one thing that's good about being a young mom is that you loose the weight faster"

I can honestly say that I would rather be an older fat mom then a younger skinny mom! Although to my opinion, the one perk of being a teen mom is having more energy. I couldn't imagine being an older mom because I feel like I wouldn't do as much energetic stuff like I do now. Anthony hates when I sit down and I am constantly walking around the house and up and down stairs.

"I bet you're tired"

I am as tired as I have ever been. Yea some days I get less sleep, but that doesn't mean that teen moms are any more tired then you are. I feel that waking up to this face to the left is way better then sleep. It could be five in the morning and his little smile makes me smile and want to stay up with him.

"How old are you?"

Yes, I am 17 years old and I think that is none of anyone's business. I know it's nice for someone to give you advice once in a while, but seriously, don't tell me how to live my life. Everyone makes mistakes but Anthony happened to be a miracle because before him, my life was going down the wrong path.

"Are you graduating High school?"

The answer is yes, obviously, but I know a lot of teen moms don't get the chance to graduate. I feel this is truly rude to ask but what if I where to say no? I'm going to get lectured about that too? Just because teens have kids doesn't mean they're a vegetable, they still have a functioning brain! Having a kid while you're still in high school doesn't mean you're life is going no where, it simply means you're life is going to be 100 times more challenging. Since teens had their kids, that means they took the responsibility to take that challenge.
