Like was it hard for you in school to be a teen parent did it affect your education to a point that you could not do the things that you would like to do. Cause you were a teen parent.
not education wise. the school tried to kick me out but couldn't legally, and luckily I was due in the summer. I mean I couldn't go out and party or get drunk, I couldn't smoke pot or get arrested. I would say she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. She stopped me from being stupid. She incouraged me to try harder. I'm 26 now, a mother of 4 and have never been happier. I also get financial assistance to go to college whereas my friends with out kids have to take out loans and borrow money. Finding time for homework can be difficult but they are worth it. I wouldn't change a thing.

I wasn't a teen parent, but I already know the answer and can tell you it.
Yes, it doesn't affect you education. First of all, you have to concentrate on your studies and your child. Whenever you are a parent, your child comes first. If your child needs you now, you have to run home from school and miss class, which takes away your time to do your homework and take class lectures.
Being a parent means you have to make sacrifices. For instance, on weekends when you want to hang out with your friends, you will have to cancel your plans because of your child. Therefore, many times you could not do the things that you want to do.
A teenager is too young to have a child. It takes away too much of your time to do what you have to do and what you like to do. You are only young once. So why not take that opportunity to have as much fun as possible and have children later on.
-There is only one opportunity to have fun._
-But there is a whole lifetime to have children. To me, I would wait as long as possible to have children.

It stopped it cold. But my kids are little scholars so I guess it is a tradeoff.
