Here I was 20 years old with 3 children no education, no guidance, not one person to truly help me. To make a very long story short. I knew I had to do better for my children.
By the time I turned 16 years old I had 2 beautiful daughters. Not quite understanding the importance of parenting I did my best. In the relationship with their father I was abused mentally and physically. He cheated numerous of times and being that I was young without guidance I stayed in the relationship until I gave birth to my little boy.
I went back to school and obtained my High school Diploma aka (GED) at a community school. Not only that I accomplished a goal I never thought was an option for a single mother of three kids. I went to COLLEGE and obtained my AS Degree in business.
Not only that my children are doing very well in school. Their grades are unbelievable, both of my daughters make A’s & B’s each marking period.
I think turned out to be a GREAT MOTHER with GREAT CHILDREN.
To the teen mother/s that may be reading this today. Be encouraged, don’t give up on yourself even when everyone else does. Every story can have a Terrific ending. It’s up to you. Take it from someone who has walked in your shoes and once was there.
Blessed, Jasmyn
you are very strong, and goal oriented. I remember when i had my first pregnancy, i didn't know i was pregnant until i was 6 weeks. The boyfriend i had at the time would abuse me mentally & physically on a constant basis, so i stayed…all the pain i went through, feels like yesterday..thought it would break me i was only 17 going on 18.. but im still here 20 going on 21..starting college in January.
Wow… Fantastic…I have wondered for so long if there would be anyone else out there at the ripe age of 20 with 3 kids. I had my son at 16, followed by my first daughter at 18 who was planned, then surprise surprise another daughter not long after my 20th birthday. I am now 21 my youngest is 20 months and my son will be heading off to school in a couple of months. I the same as you didn't have a chance of education, so the start of next yr I will be starting a course in aged care, Ive been stressing out how I am going to manage the full time study, a child's home work as well as school runs and alternate care for my daughters, it's going to be so hard but thanks to you publishing your story has given me the extra boost, knowing that this has already been done should make it easier for me. Rest well at night knowing that you've got yourself through it and so many other girls, congratulations your very special.
