I had my first child at 15 it was exceptionally hard but me and my husband worked together and now my daughter ls 26 and has graduated from kings college London and we have now been together 29 years.
Had my first at 17 was married 18 months by then though and was planned 50 years and 3 children later he's still my best friend and the love of my life
How rude does it matter even 29 years ago this would not have been the issue it would have been when I married at 16 ( 50+years ago now) I'm assuming if her child went to kings then she is if not English then British in England you can marry at 18 without parents consent I'm Scottish we can marry at 16 and I did I married in February of 69 had my child in July of 70 perhaps she chose not to marry or had accidental pregnancy that's fine her business whether the child was born out of wedlock or not
Don't get your panties in a bind. Age of consent is 16. Even if they're close to 16 or look mature, nothing much is done about it. Her mom probably approved of her dating him. She'll be lucky if she even recieves any child support from him. They're not very efficient of enforcing that either. However, she will get a government check for herself and the baby and qualify for government housing.
What concerns me the most about this situation is the mystery surrounding the baby’s father. From the scant information that Leah gave about him, it’s clear that he was an older man who lied to take advantage of a young girl, which is a serious offense. And it’s troublesome that neither one of Leah’s parents seem to be concerned about tracking him down; they’re focusing instead on how unprepared and immature Leah is. Yes, she does have a long way to go in growing up and learning how to care for a baby. But it’s not as if she was running wild in the streets. It’s also clear that emotionally, she’s still having trouble processing the enormity of the situation, including the fact that this man abandoned her.
Her mother is not exactly the sharpest tool in the box either, but it's always possible that more happened about the man in question than we see here on film.
Yes ! It's like actually victim blaming because they make it seem like she did this with some kid down the street or at School not some predator she met online
My first child was born when I was 27, and now I'm much older I wish I hadn't married in my 20's and travelled round Europe before settling down until I was at least 35.

Yeah, would love to see 'mumsy' when she was pregnant -- you suffer greatly from anaemia (if you are prone to it otherwise) when pregnant. Makes you want to sleep for days. Mind you, that bedroom is a tip.
@@zacariastephens2329 of course, but it sounds as if she never had that conversation with her and just assumed she wouldn't be talking to boys (since she went to an all girls school)
Looked Leah up…. Looks like she’s a doula in Brixton now. So that in and of itself is an accomplishment, but she did it as a young mum. Hats off to her
my mum was so young when she had my brother&my sister.. and said with both she didn’t feel ready.. now she has an amazing career, and has since my sister turned 1year old.. brought him and my 3 siblings up and all of us achieve high, have good jobs and never went without. Being a young parent and not feeling ready, isn’t always a bad thing.im not saying it’s a good thing, I’m just saying it’s not always as bad as people say.. good luck to any young mum, I’m 23 an pregnant which isn’t very young, and I still have my worries.
I was pregnant at the age of 23.. babies dad and I got married and have been together for almost 10 years and we've since had another baby. 23 isn't too young. I hope everything went well for you Shelby.
Just about the only time stories like this are followed up on, whether they're shown in documentary form or in a talk show is when there's a good outcome. You don't get views from another sad statistic!
They never did follow ups to these , they were supposed to educate girls on why it's a bad thing to get pregnant at 16. They didn't want to glorify it at the time because it was really "popular" for teens to get pregnant back then.
The situation sucks but I applaud her for still wanting to follow her dreams and become a doctor. A baby stops nothing, only adds to! Remember that! The worse thing a parent can do is tell their child already in such a tough situation that their lives are over because it’s not. She may be young but that doesn’t mean she deserves to regret this experience for the rest of her life. Be happy and excited but most of all learn from it and do better. She’s capable of doing any and everything she dreams of but at the end of the day if she doesn’t have the right support it won’t stick. I wish nothing but the best for her and her little one! ❤️
You keep reading those fanfictions and fantasy novels, darling. Meanwhile the rest of us will live in the real world where limitations and circumstances of birth affect what is available to us.
I don’t understand why people are calling her stupid. Yes she made a mistake, like cmon people!!!! we all make mistakes. No one is perfect at all. I’m not justifying what happened to her but at the same time don’t come for her.. what about the guy? It takes 2 to make a baby. Now for her laziness.. she is very lazy but let’s not forget that she’s just 15 years old and her mom did not train her well enough to be hard working. It’s really not her fault . I actually feel bad for her, but i do applaud her for not doing an abortion because God has a reason for every human being brought to life. I also applaud her for wanting to go to med school that shows determination. I pray and hopes she achieves her dreams in future. I wish there was an updated video or something.
Making mistakes doesn't take away the fact that she is not 'boy' or street smart...she's stupid, you can hear from the things she says that she'a dumb af
nontobeko mathabela so what are you perfect? Yeah the girl made some mistakes and is very naive, she is very young for her age. Very sad situation but I believe she will turn her life around and do well for herself and her baby.
If you believe that God has a reason for every human being brought to life, why is it so difficult to accept that he also gave doctors and nurses the knowledge and technology to perform abortions for the women who wish to have them?
Not that it’s ok that she’s pregnant but I think continuing to berate her for getting pregnant when she’s 5+ months along doesn’t help anyone and only makes her feel worse about herself and situation. I think it’s time to be encouraging and optimistic that she can still have a great life regardless of this slip up
Exactly if they give her support and help here and there she can still achieve her goal of becoming a doctor. They’re being so arrow minded of the fact that she didn’t do exactly what they have planned for her
Right? As if destroying her self esteem is going to undo the past. It sounds like she'd had very little sex education before this happened and her mum just doesn't want to take any responsibility for that.
I mean yes, but that’s how we ended up with this shitty generation of teenagers who expect everything for nothing. You have to be tough on kids. But support them at the same time.
I hate when people claim it’s embarrassing to go get condoms. Isn’t it more embarrassing that your a teenage mother?! I know she said she didn’t even use protection, but that’s the point. IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME. Case & point
I'm a teen Mom I was 16 and honestly? I wasn't embarrassed at all :) I'll never ever would suggest to get pregnant at a young age but I do think young mom's should be respected more. They want to give up there whole youth to raise another human being,tbh I think that's brave as fuck (Side note: I got pregnant while I used the pill and condom)
@@fallen_onexd1380it's not abt shame or anything but if u r too young to be married I think u r too young to have sex some teen mom r lucky but not all and I have seen some teen mom's leaving their babies and running off with another men. It abt bring another life it's not only abt u. Now a days young girls and boys hardly finish school and they are with a baby. Mostly boys can easily get out of it but the girls r the one who suffer the most. I have seen one of my friend she also got pregnant in her teen years after that wat happened to her and baby was not happy end.
I really would love an update about Leah. She was super naive but if anything that will give you a wake up call, it would be a baby. Does anyone know anything about her progress after the show?
I remember watching this at around 19 or 20 and although I knew the situation wasn’t good, being 30 has made me realise, oh my God, that girl has no idea what’s about to hit her!!
Thinking that having a baby at 15 will be fun says much about her level of maturity ...for the life of me I can't understand how a bedroom can look like that....thank God for my mother...no messy room!! Teen or not ..☺☺
The law doesn't allow them to get off scott-free, unless they had sex under a fictional identity and are nowhere to be found. There is no legal paternal surrender law, that lets them opt-out of the legal and financial obligations of fatherhood. You get identified as the father, it's "pay up looser" time.
@@KEENDARLING There's times where the father is not known or the girl doesn't tell him. There are a lot of kids that don't know there father's. Hence not been able to claim anything. Sad situation.
I think it’s not fair to call her lazy. She’s a processor. She thinks and thinks and checks again. She’s a smart girl. Secondly, she’s got the maturity of someone her own age. Can’t tell her you’re pregnant you’ve got to grow up in nine months. These things take time. The mother is angry but she can’t use her daughter as an outlet to vent her anger. Take it to a friend or therapist. She needs a mom who will help her and support her. Pregnancy is hard but teen pregnancy is harder!
She's a high achiever, with no common sense...that baby daddy story is very sad. She can still achieve her goals, it will take a bit longer..but keep pushing young lady.
I know right😂😂😂. Kids kids kids. I honestly don’t know if I want to have any. I think I exhausted myself during my teenage years and don’t want to relive that cycle trying to make sure my seeds don’t ruin their lives! Especially when it comes to dating 😫😩
@@madelineevans128 Have you ever actually seen inside a medical professional's home? They are generally very messy because they are forced to be so clinically clean and tidy in hospitals. The dirtiest people I've ever known have been nurses and doctors.
Love how she says “I’m an adult, I’m having a baby” and then later goes on to say that her mom will change all the diapers and that as long “as it’s fun” she’ll be okay with having a baby. There is very little fun in parenthood. If you don’t even want to change a diaper you are not prepared for all that motherhood is.
I wish older people will speak life into teen parents, so many women I’ve grown up with that became moms at 14-16 and are the doctors taking care of people who said “you’ll only work at McDonald’s”. Just because your life went that way doesn’t mean theirs will, things happen learn to make better choices. I rooting for this young woman, I hope she comes in touch with people who will guide her to her dreams and avoid those who put doubt in her mind. 💜💜💜💜
all of y’all need to realize this was 10+ years ago. Sex education wasn’t as common as it is now. Most places taught abstinence, and it was commonly believed that *you couldn’t get pregnant your first time*
Well the lack of sex education claim doesn’t wash with me. I was teen in the early eighties and knew that your first time at sex was all it can take to fall pregnant. Really I do not understand these claims regarding lack of sex education in school! 🤦♀️
@@carultch Abortion? Not everyone wants that. Not everyone wants to kill their baby p.s Abortion is illegal in the UK after 24 weeks and also when women do get abortions it can lead to depression and regret. We have a choice for a reason and i believe a baby deserve every right to live even if it's not with the birth mother.
NoOrdinaryGirl it’s an acronym that means wives and girlfriends of football players. They had a reality show about it. Basically she thought this guy was some Rich athlete and she was going to be set for life.
The comments really be like "shes so immature" yeah maybe because shes a literal child who was clearly taken advtanage of by an older man smh. How you gone expect a child to act grown?
@@MrsDogLover You're right about the adoption of course. I wonder just how many teen moms considered adoption but backed out due to the opinions of all the teens who are watching videos like this simply because so many teens think it's so "awful" to place a child for adoption, yet most of them have no idea about how difficult being a young teen mom usually is. I guess I don't understand WHY so many teens think they need to post nasty comments to young girls who have thought of giving their child a better life through adoption? I just find it really strange that a young teen mom to be would actually think that the opinions of people she doesn't actually know means much? If a teen mom is considering adoption it should be her choice and not a bunch of YT teens that have no idea about the young teen mom trying to decide her child's future and that of her own.
For Americans: in the UK, "college" is what they attend after they finish standard education, typically around age 16 or 17. So his dicey comments aside, the fact that biodad was in college at 17 wasn't a stretch in terms of age. It's not like it is here in theU.S. where typical college age is 18 or 19. That's more university in the UK..
My heart breaks watching this. This young girl is so sleepy and off with the fairies. So young mentally. She is not ready for school let alone the responsibility of motherhood. And the parents seem to speak to camera saying they are worried but do nothing to help the situation by entertaining her irresponsible behaviours and passive approach to discipline. She needs to come down from Her lofty cloud of holiday mode, and splash the cold waters of reality on her face and wake up. For herself and also the baby and her loved ones who will be affected by her pregnancy. I matter what anyone says. She is sweet but will need more than that to even have a hope at coping with young parenthood. And to think she didn’t even enjoy the experience of the babies conception, it’s so typical of young folk taking part in grown folk things. Young people engaging in premature sexual activities is more about the male pleasure than anything else. And it’s so sad to me that as young woman, they/we subscribe to being taken advantage of in his way, many unknowingly participating in something that benefits them NONE! Then being laden with the consequence and weight of it all. While the boys go off to ruining futures. I want her to do well. Want her to find her rhythm and enjoy her life. Mentally emotionally spiritually and eventually in a relationship that adds to her life.
@@frankmangan2113 How offensive!!!! I’m a devout Christian. I neither smoke, drink nor do drugs. I’m afraid, that must be YOUR own mentality. Sad. Also it’s THEIR: not THERE…………
In 2010 I was 17 not far from her age. I couldn’t even imagine having a baby at that time. I went to Europe that year with my school and traveled to Italy France and Switzerland. That was such an amazing time.
I'm 26 now with my 5th married my middle school sweet heart! I don't encourage teen pregnancy but I do believe in a support system. I do not believe in telling someone their life is over that is so sad. So the moms life is over and the dad gets to live his
You can study parenthood, go to prenatal classes, be rich etc , but no one is ever ready to have a baby. Every child is different. You don't know what you are going to face with that particular child.
If England held the fathers or the fathers parents accountable I bet the underage pregnancies would drop dramatically. They should be financially accountable for their children.
Mother is completely unaware of what's going on with her daughter, hasn't made it her business to know who the father is and hold him accountable, isn't still with the girl's father who also sounds like a clown, the daughter is living in lala land. The father isn't pleased then why wasn't he instilling sense in his daughter? How two derelict parents conspire to raise a pregnant bubble brained daughter.
I can't believe young girls like them crazy enough get pregnant this age there life has so much responsibility they no idea how much work would this be for them 🙄
Ready or not it's coming soon. She really needs to finish school no matter what. I hope she's doing good after this show. God bless her and the family.

Looked Leah up…. Looks like she’s a doula in Brixton now. So that in and of itself is an accomplishment, but she did it as a young mum. Hats off to her
What’s her name ?
How did you find her please, I tried searching it came up with different people
Whats her ig name
Damn investigation skills be on point 😂
You wanted to believe he was A football player
"It’s like a body coming out of you” well yeah it is
"I am an adult, I'm having a baby"
Girl no
my mum was so young when she had my brother&my sister.. and said with both she didn’t feel ready.. now she has an amazing career, and has since my sister turned 1year old.. brought him and my 3 siblings up and all of us achieve high, have good jobs and never went without. Being a young parent and not feeling ready, isn’t always a bad thing.im not saying it’s a good thing, I’m just saying it’s not always as bad as people say.. good luck to any young mum, I’m 23 an pregnant which isn’t very young, and I still have my worries.
23 is still quite young to have a baby. I'd say mid to late twenties is the norm x
I was pregnant at the age of 23.. babies dad and I got married and have been together for almost 10 years and we've since had another baby. 23 isn't too young. I hope everything went well for you Shelby.
I like when her mom said we’re in this together
She has a gud mom.mine would have kicked me out the
House
Its unacceptable
Farida VG it is unacceptable but is pregnant teens parent not being supportive.
this documentary is clearly from early 2000's! so where is she now? can you do a follow up!!
Risata Raps trust I deeped it when I saw nettos in Peckham 😂😂😂😂
Yeah watched this a couple of years ago.
Just about the only time stories like this are followed up on, whether they're shown in documentary form or in a talk show is when there's a good outcome. You don't get views from another sad statistic!
Nope it’s from 2010, she wrote the date on a cup at 7:15.
They never did follow ups to these , they were supposed to educate girls on why it's a bad thing to get pregnant at 16. They didn't want to glorify it at the time because it was really "popular" for teens to get pregnant back then.
Why didn't they even show the baby? I agree follow ups would be helpful.
The situation sucks but I applaud her for still wanting to follow her dreams and become a doctor. A baby stops nothing, only adds to! Remember that! The worse thing a parent can do is tell their child already in such a tough situation that their lives are over because it’s not. She may be young but that doesn’t mean she deserves to regret this experience for the rest of her life. Be happy and excited but most of all learn from it and do better. She’s capable of doing any and everything she dreams of but at the end of the day if she doesn’t have the right support it won’t stick. I wish nothing but the best for her and her little one! ❤️
You keep reading those fanfictions and fantasy novels, darling. Meanwhile the rest of us will live in the real world where limitations and circumstances of birth affect what is available to us.
I don’t understand why people are calling her stupid. Yes she made a mistake, like cmon people!!!! we all make mistakes. No one is perfect at all. I’m not justifying what happened to her but at the same time don’t come for her.. what about the guy? It takes 2 to make a baby. Now for her laziness.. she is very lazy but let’s not forget that she’s just 15 years old and her mom did not train her well enough to be hard working. It’s really not her fault . I actually feel bad for her, but i do applaud her for not doing an abortion because God has a reason for every human being brought to life. I also applaud her for wanting to go to med school that shows determination. I pray and hopes she achieves her dreams in future. I wish there was an updated video or something.
Truth
Making mistakes doesn't take away the fact that she is not 'boy' or street smart...she's stupid, you can hear from the things she says that she'a dumb af
nontobeko mathabela so what are you perfect? Yeah the girl made some mistakes and is very naive, she is very young for her age. Very sad situation but I believe she will turn her life around and do well for herself and her baby.
If you believe that God has a reason for every human being brought to life, why is it so difficult to accept that he also gave doctors and nurses the knowledge and technology to perform abortions for the women who wish to have them?
Out off all the videos in this channel her mother is the most logical and supporting, I love her
Not that it’s ok that she’s pregnant but I think continuing to berate her for getting pregnant when she’s 5+ months along doesn’t help anyone and only makes her feel worse about herself and situation. I think it’s time to be encouraging and optimistic that she can still have a great life regardless of this slip up
I feel like her parents could be more supportive and less negative despite the odds against her she needs some positivity and encouragement.
nevaeh Morgan true !!! Sure a baby is a set back but dreams & ambitions can still be achieved as long as she wants it and she has support!
Exactly if they give her support and help here and there she can still achieve her goal of becoming a doctor. They’re being so arrow minded of the fact that she didn’t do exactly what they have planned for her
Right? As if destroying her self esteem is going to undo the past. It sounds like she'd had very little sex education before this happened and her mum just doesn't want to take any responsibility for that.
I mean yes, but that’s how we ended up with this shitty generation of teenagers who expect everything for nothing. You have to be tough on kids. But support them at the same time.
@@Amakawrites how is she and her son doing?
I hate when people claim it’s embarrassing to go get condoms.
Isn’t it more embarrassing that your a teenage mother?!
I know she said she didn’t even use protection, but that’s the point. IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME. Case & point
Jess Ess indeed 👏🏽👏🏽
Yip
Why is it embarrassing to be a teen mother. Should older mother 40+ be embarrassed too
I'm a teen Mom
I was 16 and honestly? I wasn't embarrassed at all :) I'll never ever would suggest to get pregnant at a young age but I do think young mom's should be respected more. They want to give up there whole youth to raise another human being,tbh I think that's brave as fuck
(Side note: I got pregnant while I used the pill and condom)
@@fallen_onexd1380it's not abt shame or anything but if u r too young to be married I think u r too young to have sex some teen mom r lucky but not all and I have seen some teen mom's leaving their babies and running off with another men. It abt bring another life it's not only abt u. Now a days young girls and boys hardly finish school and they are with a baby. Mostly boys can easily get out of it but the girls r the one who suffer the most. I have seen one of my friend she also got pregnant in her teen years after that wat happened to her and baby was not happy end.
I really would love an update about Leah. She was super naive but if anything that will give you a wake up call, it would be a baby.
Does anyone know anything about her progress after the show?
Shereece S I agree
☝️🔴 ☝️ 🔴☝️
She is doing very well and has an amazing little boy.
@@JadeWheatley_ thank you for replying my dear. 🙏🏾
Shereece S no problem at all :)
So she’s 15 and pregnant and she said that she thought that the baby’s father was in college 😱😥😳
Cinfully Cinta she said it’s going to be fun wtf fun once they learned to help themselves until then it’s kinda torture feeding every 3 hours at first
Yeah college here in Australia is what we call secondary school
That was mean he’s 16 or over it’s different in the uk
In the uk you can go to collage when you're sixteen. obviously in her situation it wasn't ok but sometimes it is
college is after high school in the uk, you go when your 16 it's not university
I met Leah in a clothing shop 4years ago. She looks the same. She was so shocked I recognised her from the show !
Wow! How was she did she keep the baby?
Really wat she say can u tell us
I remember watching this at around 19 or 20 and although I knew the situation wasn’t good, being 30 has made me realise, oh my God, that girl has no idea what’s about to hit her!!
they needa do a update series🙃
Most defintley
Thinking that having a baby at 15 will be fun says much about her level of maturity ...for the life of me I can't understand how a bedroom can look like that....thank God for my mother...no messy room!! Teen or not ..☺☺
As usual fathers no where to be seen. They get off scott free leaving the girl's to deal with every single thing.
The law doesn't allow them to get off scott-free, unless they had sex under a fictional identity and are nowhere to be found. There is no legal paternal surrender law, that lets them opt-out of the legal and financial obligations of fatherhood. You get identified as the father, it's "pay up looser" time.
I know I wonder if in UK you file for child support $ against the father or other parent to help pay for expenses
@@KEENDARLING There's times where the father is not known or the girl doesn't tell him. There are a lot of kids that don't know there father's. Hence not been able to claim anything. Sad situation.
The way the video abruptly ended was savage. No follow-up necessary. 😂
I think it’s not fair to call her lazy. She’s a processor. She thinks and thinks and checks again. She’s a smart girl. Secondly, she’s got the maturity of someone her own age. Can’t tell her you’re pregnant you’ve got to grow up in nine months. These things take time. The mother is angry but she can’t use her daughter as an outlet to vent her anger. Take it to a friend or therapist. She needs a mom who will help her and support her. Pregnancy is hard but teen pregnancy is harder!
She seems so immature
Tia Aa she is 15
Well, she's 16
U seem immature
@@Elizaduhan lol
Tia mean she immature not as in insult. Maybe tia means she not ready to be a mom yet
Aww this young girl is so sweet... I hope u are achieving your future endeavours....please a update
She's a high achiever, with no common sense...that baby daddy story is very sad.
She can still achieve her goals, it will take a bit longer..but keep pushing young lady.
Well at 15 not many teens have common sense. I feel she should’ve been educated more about life but that’s her mothers fault.
I think it’s so funny when 16-18 year old kids think they are grown 😂😂😂like sure technically but 9/10 you still depend on your parents
I know right😂😂😂. Kids kids kids. I honestly don’t know if I want to have any. I think I exhausted myself during my teenage years and don’t want to relive that cycle trying to make sure my seeds don’t ruin their lives! Especially when it comes to dating 😫😩
It’s boaring I should of stayed home and watched the TV I would of had more fun !!! Well said 👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣
😂 😂 😂 😂 Laughed my head off at that bit.
first and foremost why is her room that messy? just throw the whole room away
Haha
She's unlikely to become a doctor if she is that disorganized.
@@madelineevans128 Have you ever actually seen inside a medical professional's home? They are generally very messy because they are forced to be so clinically clean and tidy in hospitals. The dirtiest people I've ever known have been nurses and doctors.
@@EC2019 Not all nurses and doctors are like that some are and some aren't.
I am glad my cousin is only worried About food memes and kpop and she’s really beautiful
That's all I'm worried about too 😂
Stfup
@@noahlex3910 why are you being rude we're just expressing our opinions
Love how she says “I’m an adult, I’m having a baby” and then later goes on to say that her mom will change all the diapers and that as long “as it’s fun” she’ll be okay with having a baby. There is very little fun in parenthood. If you don’t even want to change a diaper you are not prepared for all that motherhood is.
I have lots of kids and I adore motherhood. It is the most fun I've ever had. Don't speak for us all please.
She's a child. Of course she's not ready or prepared
I wish older people will speak life into teen parents, so many women I’ve grown up with that became moms at 14-16 and are the doctors taking care of people who said “you’ll only work at McDonald’s”. Just because your life went that way doesn’t mean theirs will, things happen learn to make better choices. I rooting for this young woman, I hope she comes in touch with people who will guide her to her dreams and avoid those who put doubt in her mind. 💜💜💜💜
I want to take this little girl in my arms & give her lots of love. Her depression & loneliness is so apparent.
Her mom is there all the way💕 and I hope she becomes a great mom to her baby❤
Wtf this looks like it’s from 2009 why is it uploaded 10 years later
all of y’all need to realize this was 10+ years ago. Sex education wasn’t as common as it is now. Most places taught abstinence, and it was commonly believed that *you couldn’t get pregnant your first time*
Well the lack of sex education claim doesn’t wash with me. I was teen in the early eighties and knew that your first time at sex was all it can take to fall pregnant. Really I do not understand these claims regarding lack of sex education in school! 🤦♀️
Having someones baby and DONT KNOW HIS LAST NAME??!! Thats very rediculous,dumb and embarrassing.
I know right? If you can't track down the father, just get an abortion and move on with your life.
carultch might not agree with it and it’s still her child no matter about the so called father
She’s 15 and she thought the father was in college is very much obvious she was in a vulnerable position
😂😂😂
@@carultch Abortion? Not everyone wants that. Not everyone wants to kill their baby p.s Abortion is illegal in the UK after 24 weeks and also when women do get abortions it can lead to depression and regret. We have a choice for a reason and i believe a baby deserve every right to live even if it's not with the birth mother.
I wish boys could have the pregnancy pain
-_-
This is honestly so sad, she is clearly immature and not ready for the immense responsibility of raising a child.
Omg how clueless 'i would have been a WAG??? WTH really ugh 🙄
Yea so What does that mean though?
NoOrdinaryGirl it’s an acronym that means wives and girlfriends of football players. They had a reality show about it. Basically she thought this guy was some Rich athlete and she was going to be set for life.
And her mother went out of her way to say “she wasn’t trying to “....get pregnantL
I would like to see a follow up in 10 years time. To see how they are.
Momoko Ishida it is practically 10 years ago (her mums mug said February 2010)
@@clarewood3384 alright haha I didn't see that. you're very observant. 😁 hopefully they're all happy.
It is over 10 yrz old now
i wanna know if she ever became a doctor. buy bless her for going to school while pregnant. being that girl isn’t easy.
The comments really be like "shes so immature" yeah maybe because shes a literal child who was clearly taken advtanage of by an older man smh. How you gone expect a child to act grown?
I know this anit funny but when she said "I could've been a WAG" that killed me 😂🤣😂🤣
I applaud her for keeping her baby 👏.
Racj Jone but not for falling for the f boy it need to stop this circle young mums absent dads she’s brave coz motherhoods no joke
@@Truth2power5848 Absent fathers? Why does that matter to? some older mums in their 20's maybe 30'2 or 40's are single parents.
You are just going to have to be ready it’s already there it’s not just going to disappear these shows are madness
There's always adoption, at least that way he'd get a parent or even two who are ready for parenthood.
@@MrsDogLover You're right about the adoption of course. I wonder just how many teen moms considered adoption but backed out due to the opinions of all the teens who are watching videos like this simply because so many teens think it's so "awful" to place a child for adoption, yet most of them have no idea about how difficult being a young teen mom usually is.
I guess I don't understand WHY so many teens think they need to post nasty comments to young girls who have thought of giving their child a better life through adoption?
I just find it really strange that a young teen mom to be would actually think that the opinions of people she doesn't actually know means much? If a teen mom is considering adoption it should be her choice and not a bunch of YT teens that have no idea about the young teen mom trying to decide her child's future and that of her own.
Him: I’m a professional footballer
Me: Did I ask.
For Americans: in the UK, "college" is what they attend after they finish standard education, typically around age 16 or 17. So his dicey comments aside, the fact that biodad was in college at 17 wasn't a stretch in terms of age. It's not like it is here in theU.S. where typical college age is 18 or 19. That's more university in the UK..
That ceramic place they went to looked hella fun
She's claiming to be an adult but behaves like a 10 yr old 😂
My heart breaks watching this. This young girl is so sleepy and off with the fairies. So young mentally.
She is not ready for school let alone the responsibility of motherhood. And the parents seem to speak to camera saying they are worried but do nothing to help the situation by entertaining her irresponsible behaviours and passive approach to discipline.
She needs to come down from
Her lofty cloud of holiday mode, and splash the cold waters of reality on her face and wake up.
For herself and also the baby and her loved ones who will be affected by her pregnancy. I matter what anyone says.
She is sweet but will need more than that to even have a hope at coping with young parenthood.
And to think she didn’t even enjoy the experience of the babies conception, it’s so typical of young folk taking part in grown folk things. Young people engaging in premature sexual activities is more about the male pleasure than anything else. And it’s so sad to me that as young woman, they/we subscribe to being taken advantage of in his way, many unknowingly participating in something that benefits them NONE! Then being laden with the consequence and weight of it all. While the boys go off to ruining futures.
I want her to do well. Want her to find her rhythm and enjoy her life. Mentally emotionally spiritually and eventually in a relationship that adds to her life.
They are such a lovely family!!! She’s got a very loving mother, and she’s a very intelligent young girl.

My bedroom used to look like Leah's when I was 16. Now I've grown up I like neatness.
There's another girl (also a black girl in London) from the first series who wanted to become a vet. I hope she achieved her dream too.
Rebecca
In 2010 I was 17 not far from her age. I couldn’t even imagine having a baby at that time. I went to Europe that year with my school and traveled to Italy France and Switzerland. That was such an amazing time.
She doesn’t even seem like she’s going to be able to bond with the baby. I can imagine her getting bored and leaving her mum to do everything
She’s not taking it serious at all 😫
I'm 26 now with my 5th married my middle school sweet heart! I don't encourage teen pregnancy but I do believe in a support system. I do not believe in telling someone their life is over that is so sad. So the moms life is over and the dad gets to live his
You can study parenthood, go to prenatal classes, be rich etc , but no one is ever ready to have a baby. Every child is different. You don't know what you are going to face with that particular child.
If England held the fathers or the fathers parents accountable I bet the underage pregnancies would drop dramatically. They should be financially accountable for their children.
PLEASE USE CONTRACEPTION!!!
Mother is completely unaware of what's going on with her daughter, hasn't made it her business to know who the father is and hold him accountable, isn't still with the girl's father who also sounds like a clown, the daughter is living in lala land. The father isn't pleased then why wasn't he instilling sense in his daughter? How two derelict parents conspire to raise a pregnant bubble brained daughter.
So I’ve watched several of these shows on this channel and the comments are off, why are the comments on this one
I was wondering the same thing
@@rachelcoker7658 I think I ended up finding a few more with comments on too. Which is still crazy
I’ll just let my mum do it...re: changing the nappies. She’s going to have a rude awakening, when she wanted to prep with pet ffs
"I don't think the pregnancy is replacing my ambition, I think that other things seems more important, like my baby."
You silly little girl...
2021 anyone? I wonder if she became a doctor. She seemed determined.
No matter how many times life pull you down you have to push through it by choosing to get back on your feet.
I can't believe young girls like them crazy enough get pregnant this age there life has so much responsibility they no idea how much work would this be for them 🙄
Girl wake up...
This is real life and the cost is gonna add up fast.....
Ready or not it's coming soon. She really needs to finish school no matter what. I hope she's doing good after this show. God bless her and the family.
Adoption at least should have been discussed in this case for sure!
JoanneLG1960 not if that’s not what she wanted
