lately ive been getting hassled and discriminated against by girls my age. most of the woman at my job are single teen moms ( or were teen moms) but the ones that arent seem to think they are above us. like we arent people to. this really hurts my feelings because this girl told me i was a slut because im the one with the baby. as if that even matters. i wish i could make these girls see that they arent better. i overheard this girl she probably was like 28 talking about how teen girls are dressing too sexy and we are all gonna end up pregnant. i walked up to her and told i was a teen mom and i was offended. she asked my age and then called me a baby. i hate that these girls smirk at me while they jump into their brand new car that daddy bought and i have to climb into my 1991. ya know. i guess i get mad because i dont know where these girls get off. i know its their parents feeding them this crap, hoping that they wont be a teen mom as well. its one thing to know older moms look down on you but it hurts ten times worse when your friends and other girls your age treat you like shit to

getting crap from your own generation
Jeez, I'm sorry.
It's one thing to be a bigotted, opinionated, judgemental asshole. It's another thing to open your mouth and prove it.
Hold your head high above the trash talkin'.
Oh man. I'm sorry. That's tough to deal with, but I know ehre your coming from. I had the same trouble when I first started college. I came for like a tour thing and I brought all my kids with me. This one girl walks up to me and asked if I was babysitting. I told her no, they are my kids. He face showed compete discust and I overheard talking in the library with some other girls. They were saying that I was a slut, didn't know who my babys' daddy are, and they I was a stipd low-life. I's very hurtful to hear that from those your age. I have to go to school with them too. I just ignore them and keeping doing what I need to so I can be finished. Keep your spirits up and don't let other people ignorance weigh you down.
Getting pregnant right after my 16th birthday made me a prime target for people to make comments about. It happened at school by my peers, and it happened out in public by people I didnt know. Even my moms (now ex) fiance made remarks about me. It hurt, but it made me stronger and I learned not to care. I was the one living my life, not them. It didnt matter what they thought.
I always laugh when I hear girls condemning girls who got pregnant had children. They are usually engaging in the exact same behaviors that result in pregnacy.
Exactly. I had girls calling me a slut, because I got pregnant who were having sex also, I just got caught.
I hate when one girl calls another girl a slut and well she doesnt even know her. Plus I believe that whatever you do with your sexual life is your business just be safe.
I hate when women who haven't had children young think they are above us. Especially if we weren't married. But I laugh at them, because I know I am a great mother and I know that being married or having a partner has no effect on the kind of mother a woman is capable of being! Single young mothers are wonderful mothers regardless of their marital status!
My sisters were fond of saying evil things like that to me while I was pregnant. I was a slut, I was a whore, even though they were both having sex as well.
My older sister still tells me I'm going to hell, which makes no sense to me since neither of us are christian. I'm sorry you're dealing with this, hon. Be strong, though I know it's easier said than done.
