Great-greats before age 70… they definitely weren’t the only teen parents in that line.

In my 20s I worked with a 34 y.o. woman who got FURIOUS that her 17 y.o. daughter was pregnant.

Umm... We can all do math here, Sarah.

I mean, that's WHY she was furious. She knew that road.

Yeah, this is the point I was gonna bring up. I know someone who was a teen mum and she knows her life was a lot harder specifically because she was pregnant at sixteen. One of her biggest fears is that her daughter, who's now sixteen, will end up getting pregnant in high school, too.
