Teen Parents

If you are a teenage parent, you may need help from your family to
care for your baby.

• Communicate with your parents. Let them know how you feel about
  being a new mother. Try to talk with them about your feelings. Do this
  in a calm way.
• Listen to your parents. Try to understand their feelings. Show them by
  your actions that you are a responsible person.
• When your parents help you, show them that you are grateful. Your
  baby needs the support of her whole family.
• If you need someone else to talk to, you might ask the counselor at
  your school.
