Many teenage mothers neglect their children, but there are some who do care a lot about them, who raise them well, and give them advice to become good people. But I would advise young women to take care of themselves for a while and only have children when they feel ready, because it’s not fair to bring children into this world to suffer. For those who already have children, I encourage them to learn to be responsible, take care of their children, and value them because they are our future.
