When you are walking down the street do you think about how you look at people? If you see a girl that looks in her teens and is pregnant do you glare at her? So many people do this without even realizing it. I am a young mother. I know how it feels to be judged by people walking by. How would you feel if you were the best parent you could be but people just assume you are horrible? Why don’t you think about the things you make people feel before you do it again.

When I became pregnant with my son I was 16. As soon as I started showing people started to judge me.  Did they ask me anything about my situation? No. They just judged. What would have happened if they had talked to me? I am a polite person, I am responsible and I was doing what I need to to make sure I would be able to give my son everything he needed. Why do we judge people?

Next time you walk down the street and see a young pregnant girl think about her before you judge. Was it possible that she had no choice in getting pregnant. Its not like you know her background. You could be glaring at a girl who has been raped and just making her feel bad for something she cant help. Is she being responsible and planning on doing what is best for the child? Why judge someone when they are trying to make things right? Think before you act.

So many people just think what they feel or believe is right but things happen. Why make people feel bad for what they have done. Don’t you think they feel bad enough? Just remember as you start to judge someone, everyone is different, every situation is different, and you could be making things worse when it isn’t impossible for you to keep your faces, gestures, and thoughts to yourself.
