Where I went to school in a working class area in the mid 90’s it was fairly common for 13/14 year old girls in my year to have boyfriends in their late teens and early 20’s. Some ended up with kids as a result. Few people seemed to me to really bat an eyelid?

I am SUPER emotional this week. So proud. So happy. So many emotions. My baby is 16 this week. I dreamt of this week, from the moment he was born. I hoped and begged that I would get us through, that we would have enough money, a safe house, all the resources I could give him. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, and no way of being able to achieve anything. I was 17 years old with not a penny to my name. I ran away from abuse with my baby at 18 years old - to an area I had never been. I cannot tell you how FULL CIRCLE I feel this week. My baby becomes the age I was when I got pregnant. That tiny little baby I held in my arms as a child myself, is 16 this week. And he’s grown into a wonderful, brilliant and loving person with his whole life ahead of him. Here’s some terrible pics of me at 17 years old, very pregnant! All my love to the teen mums who follow me xxx
