why education is important for single teen moms too

Teen moms are portrayed in a negative light through some people's eyes. Being a teen mom doesn't make you a monster or a stupid female. They are still human beings and they have feelings. Education is a must for teenage mothers and it is important your child view you as a role model. Only 40 percent of teenagers who have children before age 18 go on to graduate from high school, compared to 75 percent of teens from similar social and economic backgrounds who do not give birth until ages 20 or 21. My mother had my brother at the tender age of 14. She admits trying to hang with the popular crowd and do what they do. After having a child at 14 she dropped out of school because it was too much to handle. I know it can be hard but now a days you have no choice but to stay in school. Education is the key to success and school is your way out. Do not be apart of the statistic. Go to school and become a strong parent for your child. It will help you in the long run. I promise.
