      What's wrong with teenage mother's? It's the perfect age to have children, you can still get an education and your kids are grown when you are still young. I was 22 by the way.

    • @cynthiaesquibel3191
      @cynthiaesquibel3191 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I was 19 when I had my first and 21 with my second. My problem is with the unwed 13-20 year old mothers who are unwed, get on welfare, stay on welfare, and continue reproducing with whomever is the 'flavor of the week'. That way of life is destructive to all concerned, including society in general, and from what I've seen, the majority of those are more I interested in having a life, going to parties, and dumping their kids off on others (usually THEIR parents!) because they are 'too young' to be stuck at home, raising the kids they produced. I'm not saying all teen mothers do that, but the majority do...I've seen it in my own community, starting back I. The late 1980's.

      @@cynthiaesquibel3191 I totally agree with you in many cases but in my experience lots of friends and acquaintances of mine have been teenage mother's and have been wonderful loving responsible mother's. I do get what you say but I've known older mother's to be pretty rubbish too. It depends on the circumstances. I'm from England by the way.

    • @cynthiaesquibel3191
      @cynthiaesquibel3191 5 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @Charlotte Bruce- that probably explains the difference then, I'm in the US. The majority of teenage single mothers I've seen over here (including former friends from my youth) weren't interested in being the best parent they could be, they were more interested (after the thrill and attention of a new baby wore off) in how much welfare they could get and who could they dump the baby on so they could party and pick up men. I'm glad that the young mothers you've known weren't like that...it breaks my heart to see that so often over here! My best to you.

      Jane Eve yes she was in the Ab Fab movie, but unfortunately because she (Janette Krankie) is a white woman who was playing a Japanese character, Jennifer Saunders was actually accused of a form of racism known as yellow face by a Korean - American comedienne named Margaret Cho. Jennifer actually explained though that Hookie Mookie is just pretending to be a Japanese person and there is no slitty eyes or yellow face makeup.
