I googled “Successful Teen Mothers” for a persuassive speech topic in a class i’m taking and found this site. I myself am a successful teen mother. I am 34 (I look 24) with 17 and 14 year old daughters. I have been at my current job 5 years and working towards my bachelors degree. My girls are very well behaved and get great grades in school, not to mention particitate in church activites, sing in the church choir, play basketball and volley ball. And I did come from a teen mom who also came from a teen mom. I just chose to break the cycle and speak openly about boys and sex with my girls at a younger age.

Success is defined by the individual goals that we each set for ourselves and our families. I had my son when I was barely 17, I didn’t graduate highscool so I went and pursued my Ged. I am in my last year of college, studying to be ã law clerk, with ã 3.7 GPA, and goals of graduating college, going on to university and finally law school; ultimately becoming ã lawyer. I will define myself as successful when I have accomplished my goals, been the best mom I can be, and have not allowed my decision 2 keep my son hinder my dreams. So to all the teen moms, you are the author, the editor, and the main character in your life’s story; you define success and being ã great mom. DON’T GIVE UP, PERSEVERE AND YOU MUST SUCCEED!

I am a teen mom as well. I had my son at 16 and I am almost 19 now. I am graduating high school this June. I am a single mom, I work and still in school. Its hadr but I am still doing it. I love my son to death. Hes my everything. I am doing my senior project on Teen Mothers and why teens should wait to have kids young. I don’t regret my son at all, and actually he made me a better person but my life is hard. By doing this I am showing people what we do everyday to make sure our childrens lives are the best we could give them. My son is almost 3 and is the light of my life.

I had my son at 17 and it’s good that there is somebody out there doing research that defies the stereotype.
I myself defy the stereotype in many ways. I finished high school, am studying journalism at university, and I don’t plan to give up. I may be single with no other family but my son, but I give him all I can, and it doesn’t matter that we live in government housing for now.
But the only successful teen mother that I can think of — actually, any mother — are the ones that raised good children that turned into girl adults. That’s the biggest measure of success I see for a mother.
I support teen mums and believe they can accomplish anything they put their heads to just like any other person! (even though I’ll be out of my teens in about half a year lol!)

I am a teen mother, I will be 20 in a month. Like the student in this article I am a university student writing a paper on young mothers who defy the stereotype. I give kudos to young mothers who are out there being proactive and doing everything to the best of their ability for their child. Although ladies, let’s spell things correctly when we brag about our successes. I say this so that we can continue to give teen mothers a good name.
