YES I'm a teen mom, YES I'm 15. YES My boyfriend is not the father of my baby, and YES I'm not married! - Comments

that sounds a lot like what happened in chapter 55 of my story

That's so rude...
Ugh, some people just make me angry.

uh, that lady's a total b*tch.

plus you don't go to hell for having a baby at fifteen. -___- i mean, you go to hell for any sin you commit but that's how it's always been and that's why Jesus had to come down and die for everyone so we could ask him to be our Savior and go to heaven. DUUUUHHH OLD LADY.

lol. but really. she is a total b*tch and i hope she sits down and thinks about what she said and realises it was wrong. but she probably won't. BECAUSE SHE'S A B*TCH.

Some people just have no idea how to be the least bit civil and tolerant- usually, stupid people.

I understand that from the perspective of somebody who is deeply religious, it would be hard not to confront and try to 'save' another person whom you thought was hell-bound, but there's really no need to be assumptive and rude.

It must be hard for you being such an easy target. Everybody makes mistakes, and probably most of us are 'sinners' as viewed from at least one angle, but you get to cop all the abuse because your situation is so obvious in public that you stick out like a sore thumb. Best of luck to you, and I hope you're also getting support to counter the insults!

Elderly people are too stuck in the past, the world they grew up in. It's hard for them to adjust to things. But it doesn't justify her being so rude, at her age she should obviously know better than to speak to someone in such a banner. And calling the baby a sin? That is just so far over the deep-end, that's not okay in any way shape or form.

Don't let these people get to you, their words aren't important.

Wow, you shoulda punched that woman. Acting like it's her business, when it's clearly not.
That's why I dislike people.

I agree with Vic Odin. I'm not a supporter of teenage pregnancy and I do think most teenagers are too young to engage in sexual activity but what she said was just rude. That's good her grand-daughter apologised :)

The nerve of some people. It upsets me that it's always elderly people who do this, because I think old people are kind of cute (weird, I know).

My friend told me about this one time she was babysitting her cousin and was taking her for a walk, I think it was down the shore, and her cousin has a speech problem, and the way she said my friend's name sounded like "mommy", so people kept giving her dirty looks (mind you, my friend was only 12 at the time). And then this elderly woman came up to her and started telling her off. And when my friend finally got a chance to explain that the child was her cousin and not her daughter, the older woman said something about not trying to hide her sins and just walked off.

Well, uhm, I'm not a huge fan of young mothers, for one. I think it's a bad life choice and the media is making it out to be this cool trend, and it makes me hate society more and more.
Now, I have nothing against you as I do not know you, and I'm sure you're taking care of your child and you obviously have support for them. I also have nothing against younger kids having sex, but I do have a younger brother about your age and it seems very strange.

On the other hand, I hate religious assholes like that and she had no right to judge you in that manner. Hence why I hate religions. She shouldn't have said that and I don't think she understands that she's meddlnig in your life, something no stranger has the right to do.
Also, use a condom next time, kiddo.

Wow. That old lady's a f#@king tard.

Not cool. That old lady is just bitter.

Thanx kitsch :)

Well me personally agreed with her up till she got religious. Only married girls should be pregnant? Okay keep that to yourself because not everyone agrees, but yeah I mean just randomly giving someone a lecture on their life is just stupid. I mean it was a one and million chance of meeting her and chances are you two are not gonna run into each other again so she should have kept her mouth shut.

It just bothers me when people do that.
Because if someone were a teen mom and chose to not keep her child,
then they'd STILL be upset and view that person as 'sinful' or whatever.

It's also a personal thing for me since my mother had me while she was
in high school. You're a really strong, amazing person and mother.
This I am sure of.

Yeah I've learned to just take it with a grain of salt. People have done that before but they haven't been as mean about it. I usually just get an 'Oh' when I tell people that I'm her mother. The woman's granddaughter seem very nice and apologetic though.

Wow, that lady had absolutely no right to speak to you that way.
Especially because she was speaking for 'the Lord.'
No. Just no. :| That's unacceptable, and thankfully her granddaughter
apologized for her. People can be really rude and say hurtful things.
