It was not planned that way, and I found out right after I graduated. My boyfriend wanted to marry me, but I did not want to marry him. My parents insisted, and as a "little girl," I still did what they told me I had to do. What did I know about the responsibility of a baby? It changed the course of my life, and I look back and wonder about the poor choices I made, thinking I was doing the best for my child. I was immature and lost for years.

I know what you mean about your daughter. My granddaughter is 21, and I cannot imagine her with a baby! I had her mom when I was 3 years younger than she is now, and even she feels bad for me!
