You're 16, it's time for prom and you need a date. For Melissa McCabe there was only one choice - her one-year-old son, Arthur. Melissa knew right away that she wanted her little boy to help her "close that five-year chapter of high school". "It was so nice to have him there with me to celebrate it because he was such a massive part of it," she says. "Everybody loved him and said how gorgeous he was," she tells BBC Newsbeat. All suited and booted, the dapper toddler was "10 out of 10, the smartest boy there", says Melissa, from Tranmere, Merseyside. It felt "so amazing" to have him with her on one of the proudest days of her life. "Obviously high school is a massive chapter in your life. Growing up, maturing and he was a massive part of that," she says. "I was pregnant, had him and then went back to school and did my exams." There were tough moments, such as when Arthur had chickenpox, but Melissa says her school was supportive and "very flexible", with her sister-in-law and brother helping too. "I could go and do my exams, because someone will be at home looking after Arthur." "It was tricky but the school were amazing." Melissa says she wasn't "on the right path and was not enjoying school" before she had Arthur. "It didn't feel like it was for me. Now look at where I am. I'm a mum, done really well in my exams and I'm here." Melissa is now going on to study health and social care at college. She created a TikTok of her prom, and was flooded with heartfelt comments, with one user calling Arthur "the cutest date". Another said she deserved the "best mother award 2022". "Everybody's going to prom with their boyfriends, whereas I took my biggest blessing," she said in her post.

16岁的妈孩子1岁，所以15岁生娃，14岁怀孕，这事搁好多国家是犯罪
这才是正常剧本
🛋️ 沙发板凳
子非鱼焉知鱼之乐，人家当事人都说很幸福了
之前不是都嘲笑黑人社区贫穷混乱，很多低龄女性怀孕早之类的，不是你们么？ 这GOP一推反堕胎，就美好了？
因为不是她自己养吧，试试看一边上学一边打工挣钱养孩子的艰辛，16岁怎么可能，上班上学时请保姆的钱凭自己都付不起吧
如果这个女孩因此辍学吃福利，他们就会跳起来咒骂
世界纪录Lina Medina，4岁怀孕5岁产子，小男孩一直以为Lina是他姐姐，直到10岁才知道其实是他妈妈。很让人不是滋味甚至异常愤怒的故事，反正我是不能理解如果真有个全知全能的主，他老人家整这种幺蛾子干嘛？
恶心 +1
我认识一个少女妈妈。15还是16就生了娃。她发现自己怀孕了可男朋友出了车祸死了。一定要生下来, 家长极力反对，说你生出来我也不给你带孩子。她不管不顾的生了，妈妈真不给带，她只能自己照顾。同龄同学出门聚会玩乐，她在家看孩子考证书，目标明确的进了护士学校，毕了业，当了护士，好几个住院医师狂追。她找了个追她最狂热的，结婚又生子，大房子豪车，年纪比孩子们的父母都要轻，孩子同学都很羡慕他们的妈妈。才35吧，儿子已经大学了。当然是美人，而且是性格开朗乐于助人的美人… 人的韧性很大，生活的可能性也很多。一个不怨天尤人乐观坚定的女性，生活还是会给予优待的。
农村没啥文化的一堆，然后洗脑自己嫁得好很幸福。小红书的也有不过发出来评论都会翻车……
我疯了，头皮发麻，谁来解释下主为什么要让这种事发生？
都说是老人家了，那大概是老年痴呆了吧哈哈
这种太少了，凤毛麟角。
大部分孩子15,16岁心智都不成熟的，怎么能安排好自己的生活，收入，家庭，还有孩子呢。
4岁怎么怀孕的，简直惊呆了
十几岁生娃，高中文凭有没有都难说，去和这些人混干嘛。她们等着三十岁做祖母，继续带娃。这辈子也就这样了
30做祖母，45做曾祖母，60，75。。。哇塞，好多代可以同堂，楼主羡慕死了
如果妈妈觉得甜，那一定是姥姥/奶奶/孩子爸爸付出了很多。
4岁怎么可能怀孕？
现代女性15岁生孩子是可悲可叹，没看到甜。
多半是当她35岁的时候已经做奶奶好几年了，早婚早育，做teenager parents 都是家庭传统。
十多年前在某所公立高中代课，学校90%都是低收入家庭。学校有个护士站，每个年级都有两三个女生上课期间要出去给娃喂奶。有一次课间跟其中一个女生聊天， 问她孩子的爸爸怎么帮忙，她说不知道孩子爸爸是谁，自己妈妈也是单身母亲。问她毕业后有什么打算，她说自己没有打算，先找个工作养孩子。当时我单身未婚，只觉得非常惋惜，又无能为力。这是未婚妈妈群体生存的一个缩影，现在已婚有娃，开始担心自己的女儿也许会面临这种情况，但是没有选择。
一个高中足球队的，本来国青都考察她了，ucla也要她了，结果毕业暑假怀孕了。家里是菲律宾人，天主教又不准堕胎。孩子出生之后被家里赶出来和男友睡车里，睡了几个月分手了，只能又回自己家。还好娃两岁的时候又被社区大学录取了，现在做个paralegal。
被动遭遇，自强自立是一回事，宣传粉饰甚至硬贴金是另一回事啊
16 岁有配偶？！
细思恐极 谁让4岁的怀孕的？？？
这种个例一百个里面能有一个吧……
主贴里的小baby很可爱，看上去家庭条件也还可以，希望妈妈宝宝都能健康成长
这个得女孩子家庭条件好， 父母帮着带小孩吧， 要不然根本不可能做到。
性早熟患者，那些超级早孕的基本都是这样的女孩。

答案只有一个…肤色…
版上的规律是她们只高赞白mm。看见别的肤色了立刻就开炮攻击。
以前有个真人秀节目叫16 and pregnant, 里面好几个女孩的父母本身就是teen mom teen dad，几乎全部都是离异家庭，正经人家一个没有。
可是才那么小，娃的父亲是谁？太变态了qj一个那么小的孩子！
你女儿的人生你主宰啊
给你洗脑呗。邪教那种几千人的婚礼，dangshi人还觉得幸福呢。
Lina自己当时太小，很可能也不知道，不过是亲戚的可能性很大。我记得乌克兰在30年代有一例类似的，最后发现是她姥爷干的。
没错，朝鲜儿童还高唱：全世界都羡慕我们
我认识一个劳模61岁，他大儿子当爷爷了。这个劳模老头的小女儿二十出头，大儿子四十出头。小女儿跟大儿子的大儿子一样大，然后这个大儿子的大儿子生了个儿子。
什么和什么啊，这关系看的我头晕
回到中国男樽女卑的封建社会，你也做得到。
黄鼠狼下耗子，一代不如一代，最后都吃福利
我故意的
那时候平均寿命30多。15岁已经是人生一半了，必须在死之前让自己的孩子结婚生孩子，一代代才能延续。 光是水源不干净就让古代人寿命短。有钱人待客是给热茶的，因为开水没有细菌，烧热水需要花钱。有钱人是不喝凉水的，他们认为喝凉水会死掉，明朝有个大臣被关牢房，以为皇帝要杀他，自己就吓得想自杀，在牢房拼命喝凉水。穷人都是喝挑来的凉水的，很容易喝到细菌，上游涮马桶的水流到下游是常事。
这个可能不太一样…男友死了，她愿意生下孩子也是感情寄托。虽然也是挺惨的。
没有女儿，也可以代入下自己，都是女性，这点判断不可能没有
哈哈 打压女性的点还是很配套的 美好的女性 对男人死心塌地 不顾后果也要为他生娃 生娃不要紧 只要美貌乐观 最后生活的好还要靠男人 这剧本看着就像自大狂的男人写的
两个帖子的标题对比看看，挺讽刺的，楼主做个人吧
黄左的高级黑
他们的确是疯了
那些孩子的爹都是什么人？
右派的洗脑包来了。想象一下背后姥姥姥爷的辛苦付出：他们的养老计划报销了。
理想是这样的呀。心里有点小追求。白日梦也可以偶尔做一下。
争取去个好大学，在大学挑个靠谱的女婿，大学毕业就结婚。这样我还可以帮着带孙。也能追上我同学朋友们当grandparents的脚步。
