Part 6.

Taimyra is 17-years-old, single and pregnant. In her video diary last week, she talked about having to drop out of school and put her college aspirations on hold.

This week she talks about the fears of becoming a mom and what she thinks about being called "mommy."

Is she ready for her life to completely change?

This is her story.

hey, i know exactly what your going through. i found out i was pregnant at 15 and had my son at 16 on april 17th 2009. everything will work out. i went to an alternative school here and i dont know if thats availabl there but if it is it might be nice to be around other pregnant people i know it helped me feel better about myself when i was pregnant. everything happens in the end and your child will grow up the way you raise him or her. and being a mom is WONDERFUL! you will love it! i find myself just staring at my son cuz i love him so much and i do not regret him one bit. life will work out for you sweety and dont give up on your goals. if i can keep my goals and want to for fill them then you can too. :) we will keep you in our prays.

I NEVER HAD A BABY AND IM 16 BUT I'VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY LITTLE SISTER SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN SERIOUSLY SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN I STAYED IN THE HOSPITAL WITH MY MOM SLEPT WITH HER EVERY DAY EVEN ON SCHOOL NIGHTS EVERTHING...... YEA ITS HARD AND YOU DO GET VERY TIRED AND JUST WANT TO GIVE UP AND BREAK DOWN BUT DONT. NEVER BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP OR ASK QUESTIONS BECAUSE ASKING QUESTIONS JUST MAKES YOU BETTER. SURE YOU WONT BE THE BEST RIGHT AWAY
 
i will keep u and ur baby in my prayers:) stay strong.
 
Quit freaking out! You're gonna do fine. Women have the mother instinct naturally programmed into them. I had a baby young and she's the best thing that happened to me. I'm still as smart as I was before. Things weren't as convenient, but I'm as successful as I thought I would be. I believe anyone can do it as long as you are determined. I had to work 3 years on 3rd shift only sleeping 2 days a week to save up to be in my position now, but it is worth it in every way.
 
you should use your head and play the game safe but not tooooo worry you have inspired a lot of girls because you had the guts to go to tyra. gooood luck and may good bless uuuuuuu
 
I know that you probably have constant regrets about being pregnant. There are so many problems that come with a teen pregnancy that sometines you just want to not have the baby at all. I know this because Im seventeen with a 6 month old daughter. I had honor classes and some recommendation letters for college. I thought I would be the first to graduate in my family. But instead i turned into a statistic. And its so hard to be talked about and judged. Yet, i dont regret having my baby girl. Yes, its hard but i know it would have been harder to live the rest of my life with the remorse of "not having" her or giving her up for adoption. Hanging out with friends is fun...but they come and go. Yet, my baby is here to stay for at least 18 years...I hope. And school, well thats just posponed for now. Angela (my baby) has made every single one of my doubts vanish with every tender smile. Being a mom is the hardest job in the world,(at any age) but in the end the most rewarding.
 
hey tyra we r doing a project for spanish class about teen pregnancies and we were wondering if u could point us in the right direction. and also if u have a phone number that we can call or a website to ask about teen pregnancies. thanks for your time
 
i bet you this, when you hold that baby for the first time you wont regret having the baby.
 
Hi Taimyra, First of all I would just like to say to you,you are a wounderful person by just appering on Tyra's website. Many girl's dont know what to do when they are pregnant as a teen.You are inspiring others by staying strong and not letting this bring you down. God workes in many ways this is only a blessing waiting to happend, Because everything happends for a reason. I am not a pregnant teen but I am 15 thats looking to encorage others and just support other teens that make bad decisons and think god's given up on them. And I am not encoraging other teen girl's to get pregnant but,I am supporting you by letting teen girl's know it's not easy. So thankyou for reading ,stay strong dont give up. &Iloveyou.
 
i think that even thow your a teenage mom you should still go to school my friends were teen moms and they still went to school and didnt care what anyone thought about them at all they were happy and scared knowing they were going to have a baby and you should to cause it will be a great expriance. your life isnt over if your friends want to be mean saying your stupid let them say it cause once you have your baby trust me it will not bother you cause you will have a good happy and loving time with your baby!!!
 
hi I'm sorry but everything you said made me so angry. your pregnant but your life's not over. This is a time to embrace your pregnancy, be happy because all the stress effects your baby. I too am a teen mom, i was scared and confused at first but you just got to trust your love for your baby. since your not going to school, which you should even if you have morning sickness,(i did) read books on parenting, cooking and pregnancy. this is a preparation period not a sulking period. i do understand that your emotions are haywire but feeling sorry for yourself isn't going to change anything. from what you said it almost seems like your regretting your decision to keep your baby. you need to stop making decisions based on yourself and start making it about that baby. when you stopped going to school that was the first selfish decision you made because you can go to school, run out of class if you need to throw up and not care what people think .(i had to do exactly that) do you really think that those people could do what your doing. chances are probably not so look at it as your a better person. another thing you should do is look for a school just for pregnant and teen mom's. i went to a school like that when i was 6 months pregnant. it was a life saver!!! they taught us everything we needed to know about being a mom but at the same time gave us our basic education. Also, when you said that the word mom freaks you out, that made me very upset because its an honor to be called that not something that makes you old. the day my daughter will be
 
Hey Hun, I understand what your going through trust me, but you can't just put your future on hold b/c your pg. Hun that baby needs your future it needs you to go to college and to have a high school diploma. TRUST ME i know it's hard and i'm surly not saying it's going to be easy but if you want to keep this baby you need to get your but back in school no matter what the hatters say and get a job. There is tons of money out there for you to go to college and a lot of colleges that offer day care you just have to look hunny...... I wish you, all the best and if you ever need any thing hit me up on face book. Not to mention hunny God is there and if you call on him will take care of everything. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless. O nd "SO WHAT!!!!" to what all the haters say. None of them have any room to pass judgemnt on you. Only those with out sin can cast a stone, only God can judge hunny and all he wants to do right now is hold you in his arms.....
 
ok first of all tyra god doesnt make mistakes the reason y baby's are born wit thing bad thing is because of the mom or dads action...n if clark didnt want to say it was a double standard she didnt cuz like you were makein here lookin bad yea it was wrong to kiss a girl but its wrong to change ur gender too...n wit gay ppl u have to understand that christians dont hate gay people we jus dont agree wit there life style...n i also think that u sometimes are a double standard your self cuz u will say one thing to lets say agree n then say the total opposite so.... n i also think that you say ur not a psychiatrist but ur show is make it seem like u r cuz u alwayz wanna help people wit there problems which i dont think its alwayz good cuz u might not be giving good advice so thats how i feel
