Although my mother was young when she had me at seventeen, your mother was certainly much younger. She is an absolutely amazing human being. Please tell her for me that she is my hero. In fact, she is a hero to everyone who knows that the value of a human being is not determined by their size, location, stage of development, or the age of their mother. Their value is intrinsic to their humanity. You are living proof of this philosophy and I am so glad that you are here with us.
My mother got pregnant at 13 and had me when she was 14. She could have easily aborted me. In fact, many family members said she could cause there was no way she could take care of me. With the help of my grandma, she put me in daycare, had a night job, and went to school, even graduated high school. So it is possible. It is so possible to have a life while having a child. I\'m now 19, almost 20 and my mother is my best friend. She\'s so amazing
