Hi Kim,

I was pregnant at 16 and still in school, which was very unplanned. I had been with my partner for about 2 years at the time and he wanted me to have an abortion but I wouldn't and he accepted that.

I went back to school the next year and completed year 12 (with my parents help babysitting). After school his dad and I split up and I raised him by myself for a few years but now his dad sees him every second weekend and I have a partner of 2 years who helps me out a lot.

I am now 22 and my son is 6 years old. He is a very clever, polite and well behaved child. Even though I was so young I think I've done a better job so far than some parents I see with children the same age as him.

Hope everything goes as well for you as it has for me.
Rebbecca.
