A teen mom often deals with becoming stereotypical in the eyes of those around her, strangers, friends and all. Many people don't wish to acknowledge the fact that it only takes once to get pregnant, which may very well be the case for the girl in question. Yet many people will look at her as lowly, assuming she got pregnant on purpose and slept around often. Her parenting skills are doubted, even if she follows the most popular of the parenting experts. Closer to home, teen moms have to deal with relationship problems that may not be such a problem for a mom to be who has been in a relationship for a longer period of time.
Boyfriends tend to drop out of the picture or promise to be around, only to leave later.
Often the mom will realize he isn't the best person in the world to be a dad, so she doesn't push the issue. Child support is a problem, since most young dads, like the mom, are still in school or not making very much at work. If the mom decides to stay with her parents, she deals with relationship issues on this front too. All to often grandparents want to take over. It's extremely hard to step back and let your teen parent another child while you know they're so young, especially if the parenting styles they have aren't what the grandparents practiced on their own children.
