IT is weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my content. Sometimes IT is annoying. But right now, IT would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear ohy
@@Dreamybullyesking224 yeah.. sure, she wasn't mature back then. but getting pregnant at 13/14 doesnt mean that you cant become more mature as a 16/17 year old teen mom.. your ideology is weird and jambled up, you should mature.
Honestly I was so happy she said that. My mum had her oldest at 16 and me her youngest at 38 by me she just gave up. We were more like roommates then mother and daughter
Allie's little proud smile when Maddie was talking about how having her baby changed her life!!!!!! That was adorable, but I refuse to believe the first one was 3 years ago, lmao
thank y'all so much for having us!! being a part of this has truly been one of my proudest moments. I am forever grateful for this platform and all the raw, real, thought provoking content.
More like 15-18 years, they won’t be old enough to really understand and explain what it’s like. Really most people don’t understand the extend of their childhood until their in their mid twenties.
I don’t know her personally but I can tell from the way she talks that she radiates positivity. I’m so happy that she was able to overcome her bad thoughts. She truly is an inspiration to many Gen Z’s.
@@medo05511 I used to think very differently of her because she did have a period in 2019/2020 where she kind of went off tracks and became very immature but she’s definitely grown up and has done so many selfless things for her daughter!
@@medo05511 Right, and I respect her so much as she’s my age but dealing with such different responsibilities that I couldn’t imagine handling from the ages of 13 to 18. She could’ve easily given up at any stage but she hasn’t, she’s done the opposite, thriving off her situation enough to buy her and her kid a house
I’m speechless. Being a part of this video was special three years ago and it was special this year. I’m so thankful for our growth and I’m thankful for Jubilee being such an amazing platform fostering empathy and open minded thinking. ❤️❤️
@Lamou Lamou Sometimes the women are the reason they leave also. Like you can have a kid with someone, and that person could turn around and become an insufferable piece of crap. It works for both genders.
@@LilPoopsie Nah. It should be an obligation for parents to take care of their kids, else face prison time. You made it, face the consequences of your actions. Lead your partner down the right path if they're going astray
@@angela.6273 what are you on dude? She’s clearly more comfortable with herself and has realistic morals and ideas now. Be gone troll, people are allowed to have a sense of their own style instead of conforming to one idea of what’s attractive or not.
Oh wow. You should've seen the look on my face after seeing "2019" in the corner of the old video after reading "3 years later" in the title. I cannot fathom that 2019 WASN'T a year ago
These women are truly incredible and should be sooo proud of themselves. I'm sure they're all amazing mothers and they're all doing an incredible job. 🥰
I wished they realized more that baby doesn't stay a baby forever but they turn into grown adults one day. When they were talking about considering next children it was all about babies with zero consideration that they're people that will go through all life stages... and that's kinda understandable because they're barely adults themselves. I think they should gain more perspective before they say they want 4-7 "children". So many people get neglected by their parents and other family members once they're not little pink babies anymore - including myself.
I’m not trying to encourage teen pregnancy, I’m saying that given the circumstances (which they cannot change), they seem to be handling everything well while remaining positive. For them & their families, that’s worth being proud of.
Chloe is Zenon’s partner. Zenon is the teen dad that has been on jubilee videos relating to teen parents. Chelsea is Edgar’s partner and Edgar was in the teen dad video.
so impressed with Maddie, most grown adults in marriages don't realize that co-parenting isn't about liking the person it's about the child. she realized that at such a young age. so impressive. seems like a great mom and person.
Less than a minute in and I'm literally crying at the fact that all of the girls can stand on the "agree" side 😭😭 I'm so happy for them and their babies 😭💯
Loved this video!❤️ Thank you for having me again, Jubilee! Grateful to participate in this series that has fostered a much needed conversation about the realities of young motherhood.
Most wholesome thing I’ve watched in a long time. Maybe ever, actually. You guys all seem like amazing mothers, and I’m sure you’ll continue to be. Wish everyone was more like you. Wish you the best!
Please do more videos like these! Your game shows are fun, but these Spectrum videos with in-depth exploration of issues that matter enrich my perspective and make me a better person.
This is so wholesome. I remember watching the first video when it came out and it brings me so much joy that their positive attitude towards motherhood hasn't changed since.
I loved hearing all of the girls' insights so much, especially Allie's. Seeing how they're all so loving and supportive towards one another is really beautiful.
i love how supportive each other are, just like the first video, and they look so much mature, it’s amazing to see how they have different opinions to before or even between them, but i can see how they respect and validate explicitly each other’s opinions and responses
I find it interesting that her baby's dad is suddenly super involved now that she's a successful youtuber... Anyway, it's lovely to see all of them doing so well!!
Maddie was probably in the height of her popularity when she was in court with her baby daddy. I think they both grew up a bit and got quite a bit of help from the court system.
This was really beautiful to watch and I'm glad they're all doing well. If they're open to it, it would be cool to see them come back 5-10 years from now, when the kids are even older, to see how their perspectives and experiences have evolved.
I still remember watching them 3 years ago and how they changed my perception of teen moms and how I negatively looked at them. I’m glad I’ve opened my eyes to it and glad to see that they are still doing well!
About that first girl talking about how she was going to write a suicide note and such, what she said is correct except for also, when you have that kind of depression where you feel depleted, caring for a being that doesn't know any better in a way actually helps fill you up, because that act of kindness for someone else also feeds for you. I remember I went through the same thing when I was 13, and we happen to rescue a kitten by the dumpsters. She changed my life
Can y'all do a video of "Who is not British?" I think its fun when they are trying to guess who is not British by their accents lol😂😂😂 Thanks, Jubilee!!❤❤❤
Had a baby at 17 and all I can say it's the best thing that could have happened to me! All of you are so strong! Having a baby at a young age has really showed me strengths I didn't know I had. Love this!
Honestly I'm someone who doesn't want kids at all for personal reasons but hearing them talk about how their babies made their life better and brought joy to them warms my heart.
Wow 3 years, it seems to me the first video just came out. Seeing these beautiful and strong woman grow and prosper has got me tearing up a bit. Blessings 💕
She got pregnant so soon after giving birth! There has to be a suggested waiting time. I hope she was healed enough before having to do it all over again !!
I find it crazy that’s the one girl said “no one ever tells you the costs of children”. Everyone tells you this. In fact, I thought everyone knew this. This is one of the reasons people tell you plan a family and not be a teen mom. Her saying this baffles me, but maybe we just aren’t saying this enough in education. We focus too much on “don’t do it” but never give the reasons why you shouldn’t do it and what might happen THOROUGHLY - and again, safe sex. Also pick your sex partners carefully.
maybe she just meant that no one ever FULLY tells us the costs of children? just like with sex education, as you said, all anyone ever talks about is the "do not" and not the "why not" - maybe that mom just meant that yes, although people talk about how expensive it is to have children, people don't talk about WHY it's expensive. apart from the obvious factors like food and shelter (which i'm sure that mother was aware of), there's also education, birthdays, electronics, medicine and vitamins, et cetera and these all also add up as the child grows older
I think people who say that don't say so because nobody actually never "told them" or they "never heard" Like they say, "experience is the best teacher", so until they're in it, it usually doesn't actually impress on them how expensive. If you're single, no kids and parents are ranting how expensive it is to raise kids, it's super tempting for one to easily think of such parents as overreacting or overestimating and "blowing things outta proportion" It always only fully makes sense AFTER one starts raising a kid, and then the realization kicks in.
Unfortunately, not everyone knows this. Random people aren't out here educating the kids who have parents that shy away from the sex talk, or go to schools with no sex education. The kids in those situations who might read comments like yours are just lucky
I’m gonna have to disagree with this. It definitely is not told as much. I know for a fact outside of the US, it is not.

Their kids will be incredibly grateful for these moments and how honest and caring they are, cause truly amazing parents like this don’t happen often.
