Parenting is tough, and being a parent while still learning about yourself and the world is even harder as a teen. My Mother was a teenage Mom and looking back I am so proud of her because I don’t think I could manage. Good relationships, self-confidence, support, and not losing focus are definitely needed to keep moving forward.
Indeed.with enough support all is possible
