i am from Uk

There are a lot of really nice people that are from the UK that come here and they should be getting up about now..opps, you know that already or maybe you've been up for a while, oh never mind, you know and I don't.

Lots to read here, other sections to get to know people and find out about yourself, what we have in common and what we don't. Places to ask specific questions or just have some fun.

You already do something I don't. You go outside on the street and that to me takes courage. That you have your baby takes courage. And you never have to say anything here just to please people, you can say what you want or don't want, it's none of our business. I think you're going to do just fine. See the thing is, I may just learn a thing or two to help myself from you. It works that way.

And I still want to see baby pictures, when you get some.

thanks for that

i do have some baby photos but don't know how to get the on here

Cool, I'll send you a PM

ok thanks

I'm glad to hear that you have family support, puppylove - I was worried when you told us about people "hating" you because of your motherhood that you had been rejected by your own parents or something. Children do take a lot of work, after all - very difficult (although not impossible) for just one person. I've got two of them myself, although I was pretty old before the first one was born.

Yay! Baby pictures! Always like those - babies are easier to get along with than adults, I think; they don't try it interpret signals you're not sending, and their primary signals are cooing (happy, comfy) and crying (hungry, tired, wet nappy). So much less trouble to talk to!

Maybe you can PM me, and than we can talk about your precious one, with a little more privacy, if you wish. I love babies, no matter who old, or young their parents are. :O)

You sound cool to me, puppylove. I think your daughter's lucky to have you for a parent. It's rough having a baby and not having friends. Sometimes it seems like you can't get a break and nobody's on your side. Hope you decide to stick around.

I got facts too. My mom had a master's degree and she was thirty five when I was born. Pretty much every night she was drunk as that guy in the picture. On top of that, she was a feminist, so me and my brother had to grow up hearing about how terrible men were.

Nobody better try telling me that age and education makes somebody a better parent.

You've got everything you need to be the best parent in the history of the world. It's all there inside you. A lot of people don't understand that, and when you hear bad things so often, you sometimes wonder if maybe they're right.

They're wrong. They don't know what they're talking about.

By all means, post your baby pictures for everybody else, but I won't be able to look at them. Seeing babies tears me apart inside. Me and my babies got torn out of each other's lives.

It's a pity that you have to end up in such a serious situation so early.
But on the other hand, what is done is done, you have a baby and now the entire purpose of your life is to make sure that your baby will get the best possible upbringing in this f****d up world.
Make sure you have some kind of moral code that you follow for your life laid out and ready, and then make sure to instill it firmly but lovingly into your child.
I hope the father will be there to help you with this. If not, he's trash.
In short, don't let your baby grow up to be trash. We have well enough of that already.

Welcome to WP, I hope you enjoy posting here.

Being a teenage single mother can have its difficulties. The stereotypical view is that you're a 'slag chav vicky pollard' bla bla bla, but not every single mum is like that. This 'stereotypicalism' really can be quite harsh on those that fit into it's categories, for example not all 'chavs' are that bad, a lot of us associate the 'chav' with mindless thugs, beating up old folks for no reason, and wearing hoodies. The press has just reinforced the belief that people who wear hoodies are dangerous, and you should avoid them at all costs. I'm sure many people feel comfortable wearing hoodies.

I'm pretty sure you're not one of those teenage mums who goes round shagging every guy you consider to be a 'friend'. Sure, it does happen, but you, with the support of your family, and real friends you will make, will give your child the life that many others wish they could've had.

Happy for you!

It's ashame society tends to judge girls rather than guys. Mainly because guys can't get pregnant. I hope you're doing well with your baby and all. Don't take would ppl say literally. I had a friend who was had a baby by 17 and she still got her GED and went to a college. I think she's doing pretty well for herself.

This is a great place to be in spite of some of the stuff that's been going on in this thread.
