Hi everyone, I'm new to this group i'm 19 years old and I have a beautiful 9 month baby girl, I have a hard time fitting in with my old friends as they do what regular 19 year olds do where i'm much more mature anyone else in the same shoes??

:) yes and yes..... I'm 22 and still have a hard time finding people in my age range to talk to. Everyone I meet is older and its so uncomfortable.

I find it uncomfortable as well my Fiance is 24 and knows a lot of married parents in there thirties who I just can't relate to. I'm as mature and have the same values but it still just feels weird to be friends with them and talk about our kids. I know there are so many young mothers out there but i'm still always home with my baby never getting a break because there is just no one for me to communicate with.

I know how you feel... I feel like my daughter is so fusturated from being home so much and it bothers me that I can't find anyone for her to play with. I went to a mommy and me class with her and all the parents were well into their 30's. She had so much fun playing with the other kids and some mom's were nice but they asked me so many questions like: where do you work, are you going to school, are you with the father etc and I really felt like the only reason why they asked me was to judge me for being a young mom. Anyways, I really don't mind those questions only if they are out of good intention. So how do you like being a mommy? What is your daughter's name?

I love being a mommy... ppl judge because i'm so young and I didnt get to finish highschool but becoming a parent was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Before I had my daughter Madyson I was always partying all the time getting into trouble, but the second I found out I was pregnant I quit smoking and drinking. Now my Daughter is 9 months old and I still dont smoke or drink or even go to parties. I'm doing night school to get my diploma and lovin the mommy life!!! Whats your daughters name and age??

My daugther's name is Nicolette. She is 3 (well lol about to be 4 next Friday). I got pregnant in High School (my senior year, 2 months before I turned 18) and it was somewhat hard. I remember everyone going to grad night etc and I couldn't. At first that time I was bummed out but now that I look back it's a small fraction of my life that really didn't matter. On my graduation day lol I was able to hear ppl saying from the stadium (she's pregnant.. look look ) etc but my mentality was "yea I am and so what, I'm walking and graduated just like your kid did". People just like to look down on anyone who they think they are better than. Being a parent is a GREAT thing no matter the age. That is great that you are getting your high school diploma. How much longer do you have to go? Your daughter would be so proud of you!!!  Better now than never. My husband is also working on his diploma and going to evening classes and he is expected to graduate in DEcember. It doesnt matter when you graduated, as long as you have your mind set to get to the same distination. It gets a little easier when you child gets older. You will still constantly be busy but you manage to find a little more free time and you are able to do a little more. Activities become funnier and they start saying the most outrageous things. Kids are so observant and can pick up your mood vibes. It's amazing!!!!

even though im 25 i still have a hard time with people i moved to allegan and i have no friends only my husbands friends. he is older then me and so are his friends but there all country kids and im from the city and i feel as if they act different around me. im so lonely me and my 15 month old stays at home all day and it just makes me sadder and miss my city life so much more. its very depressing here...
