19 and new mom here with a 7 month old. I had to grow up pretty fast. At 15 I moved out. Shortly after I turned 16 bought my first house with my now husband. Took 2 years off school to work. Went back to school stoned for every class. Graduted with honors 8 months pregnant and married. I'm a rare case and have had the oppertnity to witness teenage moms, both 15 and 19, in both cases they are leading very irresponisible live, which got them pregnant in the first place. The 19 year old has lost her baby but can very easily get her back but isn't willing to do the 2 months work to get her back. She's given up on the baby even though she really misses her and herself. The 15 year old is growing up and working it out with her parents help. When it comes to being a teenage mother it entirely depends on the support system you have and the drive to haul ass and prepare, you have 10 whole months use them to tie up loose ends and get ready.
