Kid thrown into an adult world.

Sometimes I feel like a kid who was thrown into an adult world. A world of bills, rent, work, school (in my case) and nothing fun! I guess I really was forced to grow up faster than most people. I got pregnant a few months after I turned 15, had my son a week after my 16th birthday, then got married and moved out on my own a few months later. I graduated from high school a year early, so now I'm going to college and I'm only 17. I am extremely proud of my accomplishments, I know most kids my age could never do what I have done. I kept my baby, when everyone told me not to. I've had many girls who chose to get abortions come to me crying saying that they were glad I had my son, because it was something they couldn't do themselves. I beat the statistics by not only being a teen mom and graduating high school, but by doing it a year early AND going to college. And unlike most teen moms, I am happily married to the father of my child. But there are times when I wish I could have enjoyed my childhood a little longer. There is nothing better than doing what you want, when you want, and having no responsibilities. Ironically, when I had the chance at that, all I wanted to do was turn 18 so I could have my "freedom" from my parents. I want my son to enjoy his childhood as much as possible and not to grow up too fast. You never know what you've got till its gone. And the grass isn't greener on the other side. (It all smokes the same) haha just kidding!
