I have and always will
But more than once I've been found wishing
That time would just stand still.

Would I have been a star?

I'll never get that far. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 357 [topic] => 31 [informant] => Alyssa [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Young Mother

Life is full of what could have beens. I was a parent at 12, thanks to my sister having a child and then leaving it with me. I don't know where I'd be today if that had never happened, but one thing is for certain, i would not be me, and I like what I have become.

Having a child at any age can be difficult, but it doesn't stop you doing anything! Ok,maybe you will have to wait until baby goes to school, but you can carry on your education, do it on the computer. There's loads of courses and some are free. Have you got any support? You'll need time out occasionally even if you could go round a mates for an hour to be a 14 year old. I was 19 when I had my first and I thought I was young and it was hard for me as I didn't have much support. I hope you are coping and I wish you all the luck in the world. Remember your life does not stop because you have a baby, in fact it could open up a whole new world for you.
Best wishes,

Ali xx

I pray you have the support and friends you need. Life must be crazy. I'm 14 also, and I can hardly imagine having a baby. That's so much responssbility!!! If you need to talk....
