Age of a Parent

We starve at times and go without this is how our job is done, not by choice I assure you  for the cards that are dealt are never known. But we do not neglect  our parental right, for we may go without food but our children do not. For this has been in  existance for centuries, we have survived and learnt by our lessons without any questions asked. Our babies are our own this much is true, no matter how young we have a choice and a job to do. If we have the will to survive we have the will to exist, this is what makes us so unique. Yes we are mothers of a young age we are capable and are willing so please don't take  our parental right's away, by doubting the job that we do. We are raring our babies  to become adults of this world, with the knowledge of understanding and the gift of unconditional love. You may still doubt us  this much is true but if we are capable of concieving a child, we are capable of learning  how to be a parent just like you. God put us here to exist in this world our purpose in life is obvious, to rare our babies as our own not to have them taken from us  and put into foster homes. We may need a friendly shoulder now and again, even a little guidence from a friend. This is not being unfit beleive me when I say that we may be young but we are the same as all parents alike, no matter what the age for we all want to make a difference  for the future and children of today.

Additional Notes:
For all young parents from the ages of fifteen and onwards. I have been a parent since I was sixteen and rared a Daughter and an A.D.D son on my own. I am now twenty nine years old and to me young mothers are capable to be parents just as much as the old.
