Today, at a family gathering, my aunt asked me when I was planning to have children. I'm only 16, I laughed and said not for a while, definitely not until I get married. My family shook their heads, and ignored me for the rest of the day. Apparently, teenage pregnancy is valued in my family. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while at a family reunion, I jokingly asked my 18-year-old son, "When are you and your girlfriend going to give me a grandson?" He then retorted, "When are you going to die?" I was unable to answer at all. FML
Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML
Today, my mom is in hysterics, all because I told her I don't want to get married or have kids, and I'm not interested in dating anyone. I'm 16. FML
Today, my mum asked when she's getting grandkids. I had to tell her that, at 21 years-old, I hadn't even managed to get a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, over a family dinner, my husband and I told everyone that I'm pregnant. My father frowned and said, "Again?", my 9-year-old daughter started crying, and her brother smirked and yelled, "Up the ass, no babies!" FML
Today, we found out that my 13-year-old cousin is pregnant. My mom then turned to me and asked why I decided to wait so long. I’m only 20. Instead of being worried that this young girl has potentially ruined her entire life, my mom just complained that her sister "gets to be a grandma first." FML
Today, I was at a family gathering when my aunt asked me if I was seeing anyone special. In a tired and sarcastic tone, I jokingly said, “I’m actually getting married next month!” The room went silent, then some of them cheered. I had to explain I was kidding, but now they’re looking forward to a wedding I didn’t agree to. FML
Today, my mom asked me out of the blue if I was ever going to consider getting married. It wasn't until after the conversation ended that I remembered my siblings are all either single like I am, or incapable of having children. I am my mother's last hope of becoming a grandma, and she reminds me all the time. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out for still being single at age 19, and still not having started a family. She considers this "immoral," yet showed nothing but praise for my sister, who's pregnant at 15 and doesn't know which of three guys is the father. FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML

Please please PLEASE don't listen to them >.< Be a responsible human being first and foremost. What other people think doesn't amount to a grain of sand, especially when they're so clearly wrong.

FYL for having to live in a family like that. premarital sex is becoming more and more common, but teenage pregnancy is sick and wrong. your family's idols are probably bristol palin and jamie lynn spears. and a girl i know who is 14 and has had 3 abortions.

@#13 It's stupid to say that teenage pregnancy is "sick" and "wrong." It might not always be a good choice or a good situation for the parents or the baby, but it isn't "sick and wrong."

I don't know about sick, but it is definately wrong if the teenage parents cannot fully support the child by themselves.

better 3 abortions than 3 kids born to a 14 year old.

Actually, unless she was raped she should have had the kids. She should have gotten made fun of and called a ***** every day for it. But being that young, if she was raped she did the right thing.

If you think this is fake, you have no idea how ****** up people can actually be.

Honey, don't listen to your family on this one. Their delta brain waves might be kinda screwy. Have kids when you want them and can support them. My mum didn't have me until she was in her mid/late 30's because she wanted to make sure that she could raise my sister and I without my father's help if need be. Be smart. Don't do anything you think is wrong or harmful, just because it is expected of you.

Are you Pakastani? My friend was 15 when she was arranged a marriage with a man who was 23. She's popping out babies now, and she's only 17. Forced to drop out of high school. Her family made her.

@#20: That's the most repulsive thing I've ever heard. Seriously, humanity sucks a fair bit

If I were her, I'd kill the husband. Just saying. I' kill the husband, and get away from my family. Or just get away and not kill the guy and just get a divorce without them knowing.

Ironic, it's cousin. Maybe you're one of the " slower ones" you referred to...

Lucky, if I even try telling my parents I'm no longer a virgin I will get killed but still FYL.

Soooooo not lucky. Somehow I think it's worse to have your family expect you to be popping out children when you're in high school than it is to expect you to remain a virgin until marriage.
