Hello and welcome! Come on in and get accurate and needed information about teen pregnancy and marriage for those of you experiencing it, thinking about experiencing it, and also to those of you writing papers on it. I am currently a teen mother myself (this is not past experience, this is learn-and-share-as-you-go-experience) and I have been married since November of 1996. As always I welcome and encourage your comments, thoughts and views on any and everything you find here so feel free to email me.
For a male perspective, visit the companion pageTeen Dads, Teen Husbands run by none other than my husband. (It's not very large or extensive yet, but he's working on it!)
Join the Teen Mom Breastfeeding Support Group!! Several of you have indicated that breastfeeding is important to you. Since we know that breastfeeding has it's own unique problems on top of the stresses of teen parenting, it can help to get in contact with other teen breastfeeding moms. Email me at Ilyssa13@hotmail.com and I'll hook you up. :)
Please check back by sometime soon to see what's new! As always, feel free to email me with corrections, questions, suggestions, or anything else; I always welcome your response.
