She's an amazing example of a good teenage mother, you guys don't know her though so can't really comment on it.

People have said (me included) that there are of course good teenage mothers. Again, accidents happen but the thing I have a problem with is teenagers who choose to have a baby when they don't have the financial means to support a child first of all and are really too young and immature to know how big an impact it will have on their lives, probably their parents lives and also a new babies life.
