Parenthood Isn’t for Everyone
It’s not a shame to admit you need help as a parent; raising a kid is not easy, especially when it wasn’t something you planned and weren’t prepared for. Having a kid is a lot of responsibility and a big decision that should be thought out. Being a young mom works for some women, but it’s not for everyone, and there’s no reason for shaming young girls if they aren’t ready to take on this responsibility.
This woman shared on Reddit that her parents and surroundings pressured her to go on with her unplanned pregnancy, even though she didn’t feel ready to become a mother. Now, she’s left raising that child alone and has no one to turn to for help. It’s good that more and more women today open up about their struggles and unplanned pregnancies, encouraging other women to do the same.
