hi all,
this is a question for all the young moms out there.... what problems/ obstacles have you faced having a child so young? have any of you continued with school/university? how hard did you find it? what type of support was available to you? i would really be interested in any comments that you could offer me as i really want to start university in september and i just want a heads up on what i can expect...

thank you all in advance.

Please do not post the same question multiple times on the forum. Duplicates of this question have been deleted.

Best wished for your University experience!

...i had my first son at 17! i gave my son to my husband's mom and she raised him until i was out of highschool...i went to college to become a teacher to autistic and ESE children. 2 years later i went back to school to become a speech and physical with some backround occupational therapy...,than shortly after i went to buisness school and no i have my own center for autistic children! i now have 4 great kids!

i had my first baby just after i turned 18. its wasnt easy, but since then we have been married, bought a house, he's apprenticing as an electrical engineer, and i will be fully qualified as a marine engineer this time next year, assuming i continue my studies while on mat leave from my job.
