 Happy 1st Birthday Babygirl! Mommy loves and misses you soo much! R.I.P <3
That time of the year is coming up again. October is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and October 15th is the day that everyone lights a candle in honor of their babies. If you haven't experienced it, please still support those who have, 
This something that is near to my heart. I, myself, use to struggle with self harm and still sometimes get the urges to. I know so many people who struggle and wear the scars that show they survived. Please support and show them you care.
 Remember everyone is going through something. Even if they don't show it. Also, remember no matter how hard it seems, it will get better and someone cares. Someone always cares. You are NOT alone. Never give up. If you need ANYTHING, please please message us. No matter what it is, we are here for you!
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.
I know a lot of girls and guys who deal with depression, self-harm, eating disorders, etc. All caused by different things from discrimination, loss, being bullied, etc. I, myself, deal with some of these things. As I have said in my "About Me" I dealt with depression since I was 12 and use to self harm. Also, I have recently admited I have an eating disorder. I'm getting help. I support you through your times and with getting help for yourself. No matter who won't listen, find someone who will. Speak Up about your problems. Even if your parents don't want to see it, find someone who does. You aren't alone so don't deal with it all alone. http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/http://www.rainn.org/http://us.reachout.com/http://us.reachout.com/Always Remember You Are NOT Alone!

Happy Mother's Day Everyone! Remember that even if your lil angel isn't with
you, you are still a mother and this day celebrates you. You just celebrate it a
little differently then most. Hope everyone has an amazing Mother's
Day!
STAND UP AGAINST BULLYING: I never could
and still dont understand why people especially other teens could be so cruel.
You make fun of people because of looks, style, voice, sexuality, race, etc.
What justice does that do? Nothing. Teens call girls sluts, whores, etc because
they got pregnant at 15. But some of those girls, you don't know they were raped
and were brave enough to keep their baby. ...It doesnt
change anything but make her feel worse about the situation. You don't know what
they've been through or how it happen. What that person feels, how many rude
comments they get a day. One sweet comment or even a hello can change a persons
mind from wanting to commit suicide. One person can change a life but thousands
of people can make a difference. Ive had friends try to commit suicide, try to
drink or smoke their problems away, cut themselves, and purposely try to lose
their child because they couldnt take it anymore. I am asking all of you to
please stand up against bullying. Stand up for what you believe is right and
make a difference. It starts with you.
Things were getting a little easier. Hit some huge shocking bumps in the past 2weeks. I was handling it well. Then I went into Target today and I wish I hadnt. All the little kids and babies with their momies. Getting ready for Easter. All the cute adorable baby clothes... I thought I was okay until I just wanted to cry my eyes out.
Im so overwhelmed with things that I feel like my head is going to explode -.-
