First of all I just want ALL the teens on this show to know that I am so proud of you ALL! And so are many other people, as they should be. It takes a lot to be pregnant, but especially when you're a teen. I was 15 when I got pregnant with my son, 16 when I got married and had Michael, and I'll be 20 in January and my husband will be 29 in January also. We are loving every minute of being parents and being married. Michael is the best thing that has ever happened to us, and we love him with all of our hearts. I'm so glad that each one of you has been able to experience the joys of pregnancy and of having a child. I hope each one of you continues on with the same courage it took for you to have a child while you were still a teen. I face each and every day with my head held high, and I do not care what anyone thinks or says of me. I can thank my 3 year old for that; by having him I now have courage that I never thought that I would have. I love my precious baby boy and I hope you all continue to be blessed throughout your lives.

Notice how farrah shakes her head when she keeps saying how much she loves raising her baby, and how much she loves her responsibilities.. I CALL BULLSH!T

damn shes hot i wouldn't mind getting her pregnant.

blackreign09 (10/5/2009 7:00:14 PM)

dont get mad at me im just telling the truth and calling me names won't change the truth. So its all good I can take it. I wasnt a teenage mother, I knew better. I was on my own WITH a job, twenty two yrs old, and my own place when I had my first one. How can you congradulate a girl for being hot in the ass and getting pregnant? Im baffled. IM not gooing to apologize for what I said. It needed to be said. Miss America is a nice thought but its not reality. She needs a real job making real money so she can take care of her baby. I was speaking to her immaturity Bottom line getting pregant is NOT a good thing and should not be rewarded with praise. Young people kill me wanna be grown and do they thing parents can't tell them anything, then when they get in a pickle after being warned they look to the parent to help them or bail them out. Well how about either never having sex in the first place or using some type of contrapception? At least wait til your an adult. What about those messages? You calling me ugly? Well I think its ugly how most young girls drop their drawers for any boy that pays them a little attention. Then wonder why they are become a teenage mother or catch a disease. Why would I be jealous of a teenage mother? You make no sense at all. Im jealous of someone whose life is gonna be hard as hell because she wasn't properly prepared emotionally, physically, and or finacially to have children. And what's worse, statistically she may crank out another one young. SO please tell me how you think I would be jealous of that? Don't worry i'll wait.......................................................................

blackreign09 (9/11/2009 8:49:47 AM)

wait did I just read this broad wants to be Miss America. Now that's a picture, and unwed teenage mother representing america. As if the world already doesnt think America is off its freakin rocker, we're gonna let a nasty, mouthed, spoiled, bratty, irresponsible little girl represent in a Miss america Pagent? Come on girl, get real. The chances of her becoming Miss America are none to nil. Im am laughing as I am typing this because. It's soo funny how she doesnt say I want an education in a field in which I can base a career. No.. its I wanna be Miss America. Nice dream, but come back to earth wih the rest of us hon. You willing to neglect your baby for the time and attention it takes to "become Miss America"? which again speaks to your immaturity. Now that you have that baby alot of things you thought you would be able to do, its a wrap on that.

-Quoted from Lori below - "You people disgust me. So judgmental. It takes a brave, brave young girl to take a strong stand and choose to raise her child instead of running away from her responsibilities." I placed a child for adoption 8 years ago when I was 18. I was not happy that I was a pregnant teenager, and I thought it was very "immature" of myself to get into that situation. I guess I'm still immature for giving a child to a family who could not have one. I guess I'm immature for knowing that I could not provide a financially stable life for my child. Love doesn't put formula in a babies mouths or get you diapers from the store. Adoption is not the right choice for everyone, and keeping a child is not the right choice either. Honestly unless you've been in this situation you have no right to say much because you don't know until it happens to you. And Lori, maybe you should choose better words the next time you choose to voice your close minded opinions. It might take courage to keep a baby, but it also takes courage to know that you may not be able to provide for a baby, and the right thing to do might be to just let someone else do the things that you can't.

Lori (8/31/2009 10:53:10 PM)

You people disgust me. So judgmental. It takes a brave, brave young girl to take a strong stand and choose to raise her child instead of running away from her responsibilities. Where do you see immaturity in that? I see so much of myself in Farrah when I was at that age. But, I am ashamed to say that at 16, I was more concerned about my hair and what I was wearing the next day at school and I know I wouldn't have wanted to give up my carefree life. That's immaturity. These are very mature young ladies that are making difficult decisions that will change the course of their lives forever. I commend you all for your courage and determination and if you continue to display these qualities in life, you will go far and achieve very much. All with a beautiful baby by your side! Never give up - always reach for more - you will get to where you want to be :). I wish you the best of luck an

georgivar (8/31/2009 6:46:31 AM)

she made the right choice

brick35 (8/30/2009 10:02:03 PM)

This show disgusts me.

brick35 (8/30/2009 10:01:38 PM)

I agree with you blackreign0--these girls are stupid, immature, selfish brats. It is absolutely ridiculous for people to say that they support such ignorance and recklessness. You are not being moral or godly in making the decision to keep a baby. In fact, I would say that you are being a terrible, delusional blight to society to bring an unwanted, unplanned child into this world. These kids are too young and irresponsible to even realize what that "decision to keep the baby" entails and I feel bad for their parents.

blackreign09 (8/26/2009 7:28:21 PM)

First off there is nothing commendable about having a baby and your a child yaself. Im sorry but what happened to shame? If I would have had a baby at sixteen there wouldnt have been a baby cuz my mother would have killed me. I am so tired of you young girls being so sexually wreckless with no care for the consequences then expect us parents to pick up the pieces. If you have unprotected sex, you WILL get pregnant period. not only that you could have caught a disease. And your poor mother I feel soo bad for her because she has a selfish self centered daughter who has an attitude problem. How can you be at odds with your mother when YOU are the one who messed up. Crying about a car? Honey please you got it good compared to some of these young foolish girls who decided having a baby is fashionable like a freakin prada bag or something. When you are 16 and under there is no such things as love. ALL guys wanna do your age is score period. and alot of you girls keep letting them. I could tell by your episode that you are very immature and that doesnt mix when raising a child. You should have woman'ed up and gave your baby to a GROWN adult who can raise her and give her the guidance she needs. What kind of guidnace can you give her, when you barely have any yaself? NO your mother should not lift one finger to help you with that baby, she didnt make it. And she didnt tell you to have unprotected sex. If you were my daughter you would have a job, plus school, and deal with ya baby. Since you wanted to be grown there you go, congradulations, its a girl

i thiink ur such a strOng giirl. dont liisten to what nObody says , take good care of ur baby=]

duharfinaaogon (8/18/2009 12:30:55 PM)

I think its was a good thing and a strong ting that she decided keep her baby. Casue I don't think alot of 16years old girls would do that, thinking of that the father wasn't by her side at the time and she didn't get so much respect from her friends either. I think she seem like a great mother!

brandi1214 (8/17/2009 9:43:13 PM)

I am 35 yrs old and I have to say I loved the show.. I had my 1st son when i was 16 yrs old. Watching the show i really saw myself. Its very hard to have a child at a young age, but takes lots of courage and strength. I dont think anyone has the right to judge anyones decision, we all have diffrent circumstances with our family. I really liked Farrahs story. I didnt have my babys daddy in my life either, it was hard at times but DOES get better, so hang in there Farrah..

Karen Dii (8/15/2009 2:43:57 AM)

Please,, and seriously don't give a chid... It's going to be our future and its come from you. I know looks like so easy but the truely... nor hardest thing ever every one's choose a decision and make a lot of things without Conscience but the person thats who said: I'm not ready for having a child and raising .... But the answers and your solution to your problems...its give it up??? But you was ready to have sex?¿? maybe later you re going to have sex with other guy or the same guy ..and u be pregnant again?? and u going to do the same ******¿??? give it to adoption Please peeps its our future its no a game have sex and all that things. think about the decision again... And don't take so serious the people that who said this and those...and jok about the responsability that u have inside your skin please we are a Moms!!! and thats are our childs!!! fighter like no ones the day at born change your life complete ... But dont lose thats moments.. the moments that only matters in this life. Love your son Cause I love my little daugther.
