Hey you guys im not pregnant myself, and i dont know anyone who actually is a pregnant teen. But ive thought about it alot, and i wonder what its like. I especially think about the hardships of teen pregnancy, mostly how it feels to be a pregnant teen who is not supported in their pregnancy. I would really appreciate it if you guys could tell me what its like. I want to know how it feels to be alone during pregnancy. I want to help with this. Its a terrible problem, and im hoping that we can find a solution. Please reply, because its to help people who need that help.

When I was pregnant I had the support of the baby's father, my parents, and my sisters. That's more than a lot of girls have so some would say I'm lucky I guess.
But once I gave birth I had no friends. I had different priorities and all of my friends forgot about me. I still don't have a social life outside of my immediate family. I don't even get date nights with my boyfriend because the stresses of growing up with a kid has put off our relationship.
It's depressing and when I sit down and think about it I feel pathetic.

^ I feel the same way.
When I was pregnant, I had the support of my family too. My parents we pissed at first but they got over it . My brother and sister help out when they can as well. I am very lucky to have them and I appreciate it because I couldn't do it without them. I lost so many friends after I got pregnant. I got called a slut and a whore pretty much the whole time I was pregnant and I still get called that. I don't have a social life either between school, sports, and S.A.T prep classes every saturday plus two 17 month old babies I barely have time to sleep and eat forget going to the movies with my friends.

i feel so touched after read those comments. i never got pregnant before, and i think i'm just too young for it. as a teen, i think we shouldn't leave them alone. those who got supports from family and friends are the lucky ones. it's not easy to face it especially when people around deserted pregnant teen. they need help and support since they never experienced it before. we should try our best to understand their feelings, give them support and love they need. parents should show their children the right direction to go and how to be a good parents to the baby. maybe the best way is to build a place special for the pregnant teens to give them shelter and consultant..
