When I started my website, Teen Mothers Together, at 17… I honestly didn’t think it’d be all that is today. It was just a way to cope for me at first and I didn’t want to teens to feel alone going through things like I did. I started it just 2weeks after losing my daughter. I sat at home, alone, no one to talk to, not many people seeing it as such a loss as if I were older. Plus, my boyfriend and I had broken up and he wasn’t talking to me. My parents act like it never
happen. All I ever heard was “I’m sorry for your loss” I was sick of hearing those words because within a year everything fell apart for me. I lost my son, my uncle, my daughter, I almost got kicked out, 2yr anniversary of my grandma dying, I failed math, and I was heart broken. It seemed nothing would get
better. I didn’t want other teens to think nothing would get better and someone didn’t care or they were alone. I honestly thought the site would become just another one of those things that I didn’t keep up with and forgot about. But then I met a women who came across the site and she was an author who wrote a book for teens who have experienced miscarriage and abortion. She helped me through so much of my grief, that I wanted to help even more. Now the site has been up for a little over a year and we have a Facebook page and its still slowly growing and progressing. But I’ve heard so many stories and cried for some of those girls and helped so many. I just can’t give up on it now and let it go. I admit, I can’t do it all on my own like I have but one day, I want it to be bigger then just the site or just the Facebook page.
