Mom.

Just being a single mom is hard enough but being a single teen mom is the hardest thing a woman can go through. It's the peak of your life yet you get showered with responsibilities and duties. There's the possibility of your lover abandoning you, avoiding and resenting you. The lonely times of working to support yourself, raising a child, and trying to mend a broken relationship. Do you tell your lover? If you do, how will it affect the situation? Or should you just keep quiet and get an abortion without him knowing? If you do keep it, the morning sickness, the cravings, the contractions - you experience it all but will anybody be by your side to soothe you? Should you let him know about the child? Would he even care or take responsibility? The possibilities are endless, but there's one only decision.You find out who your real friends are, the ones who stay by your side and the fakes who walk out with prejudice by their side. You're faced with a vulnerable creature, and the pains of motherhood but also with the joys of it.

You may not keep the child, but you have the decision whether to abort, give it up for adoption, or keep it.

I salute teen mothers, not 16&pregnant.
