well im gemma,recently i posted a request for some advise on this and the people have really helped me loads!!you know who you are so thanks a million!but i have another thing i have been thinking about today,because i think i am pregnant,my boyfriend is 25 and really wants a child with me and says he loves me so much and wants to be with me forever and he cant imagine his life without me which is reassuring to hear.but the thing is i STILL can't help thinking about what people will say about me having a baby at 19 if i was pregnant.i know 19 is better than some girls who get pregnant at like 14 etc etc but im still thinking about what people will say like ''oh my god is she not a bit young?'' or ''how the hell is she going to cope or bring up a child??''. i love my boyfriend more than ANYTHING in this world and i want to have a child with him too.any one out there been in my shoes before?or have anything to say on it?? much appreciated! xxxxx

jessekk69 agony auntI had my first son at 16, second at 17 and now 18 and expecting my third baby(dont know the sex yet) in december (all 3 with my husband) No one has ever judged me and i dont care if they do. My friends and family all love me, my husband and children. And they all know i'm a brilliant mum. I also know i'm a brilliant mum, and thats all that matters!! You know what ever you and your man decides will be the right choice. Feel the fear and do it anyway!!

TaylorChu agony auntWhy are you worried about what others will think? They arent living your life. They are not paying your bills and looking after your health. Their opinions mean nothing. You live for you.

*I would like to say though that you should push to get married. No sense in having a man's child and there be no commitment. But then again...thats just a stranger's opinion and you can do whatever you feel like with that train of thought (^__^)

Ms. 18-21, what other people think is completely and utterly out of your control. Basically, you're worrying over something that it out of your hands. You can't simply just walk up to them and tell them to stop thinking. It's just a part of who an individual is.

Rather than worry so damn much about what others think, you should start thinking about what you should do for your baby on the way. It's a lot more satisfying to be responsible for your future child, than to irresponsibly worry about blah.
