Hello,

I am 15 years old. I have a beautiful baby girl on the way named Ayanna. She is due May 31th. I am attending school and should be graduating 2 years early. The father left 2 months into the pregnancy..; stupid idiot. Most teen guys don’t understand the effects of not being there for the mother and the child. I do; I’m going through it.

To all you single moms out there; it’s not over, you can still make it. What helped me get through is everytime I felt down and out, I would think of all the strong women before me who have gone through the same exact thing some in worse situations. It’s not the end of the world. They have been through it, and are now stronger from it. Please stick in there. Don’t give up. Remember, everytime you think it can’t get any worse, there’s always someone out there who has it worse than you, so be thankful.

You can make it.
