as a teenager?

- Oh, I feel like I'd get killed.

(music)

- Hi, I'm Maddie.

- Hi Maddie, I'm Jules.

- Hi, I'm Talbot. - Hi.

- Hi, I'm Vanessa, it's nice to meet you.

- I'm Maddie. - Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you all.

What do you think you're here for?

- I saw a baby outside so that's all I'm thinking of,

a young parent?

- Yeah!

I'm a teen-mom.

- When I came in, I thought the baby

was the lady's outside.

- Yeah, that's my mom, so she's a grandma.

- Wow.

- Yeah (laughs).

How old do you think I am?

- Uhhh, 19.

- I'm 15.

Yeah (laughs), I had my baby when I was 14

and I had just turned 14 when I got pregnant.

- That's kinda weird, 14!

- Yeah, I know.

- How old is your daughter?

- She's 10 months, almost 11 months.

- What's her name?

- Everly.

- That's a good name.

- Thank you!

- What was your first reaction

when you found out you were pregnant?

- I was scared.

I was mostly just terrified of my mom's reaction though.

Because my mom's like my best friend, I didn't want her

to look down on me.

- What was your mom's reaction when you told her?

- Okay, so surprisingly a lot of people think that my mom

would've like freaked out, kicked me out but she actually,

she just hugged me and said it's gonna be okay.

- That's really nice.

- Did you tell your boyfriend like immediately?

- Well, he was my ex at the time

and I told him the day of.

I actually Snapchatted him to tell him.

At first he thought I was lying.

And then I went and got a sonogram and I sent him a picture,

and he's like "Oh crap, it's real. She's really pregnant!"

What do you think your mom would say,

if you said you were pregnant when you're 14?

- I'm not really sure, I think she would freak out.

'Cause like, I'm so at that point, I'm like "ew"--

- "Cooties" was it cooties? - No.

I'm just like "Ew that sounds weird and disgusting".

Um...

Sex. (laughs)

- What do you think the right age is to start having sex?

- When you're a junior in high school,

you can explore each others bodies.

(laughs)

- Actually like, in eighth grade that's when our friends

started having sex and stuff.

So there was a lot of people.

The way eighth grade, like the end of it.

You know how boys, they always like "won't you do sir".

Does that happen to you, cause I remember when I was 12

boys would always like, send pictures and stuff.

I'm like what is that weird looking worm.

(laughs)

They don't do that anymore here?

- Oh, I got one snapchat about it, and was like

"Just gonna delete you". - It's really bad.

So I kinda got exposed to that early.

Then when I got a boyfriend, he wanted to have sex.

I didn't really want to.

- Tell him to do it himself.

(laughs)

- I kinda thought, "I love him. This is what he wants,

"so if I wanna keep him this is what I have to do"

which is not the case.

So never think that.

But we ended up having sex and I got pregnant.

- Did you guys use protection?

- No.

- Well!

- Yeah,

but in Texas they don't really teach about that in school.

Did you all learn about protection?

- Yes. - Yeah, condoms and stuff.

- Yeah, all they taught was abstinence.

So they just said "This is sex don't have it"

- Oh, so they never taught protection or STD's or anything?

- I didn't really have any idea

that it was so easy to get pregnant.

I thought it just happened like 1 out of 10 times, you know?

- Well that's not the case.

- Yeah, cause they don't really teach you that in Texas.

So, if you were to be a teen mom too, is that like scary?

- Yes.

- Yeah, I don't promote it.

So like, wait.

What would y'all think if,

let's say you got pregnant or you got a girl pregnant?

- I would probably be a little ashamed of myself

- Yeah, I definitely was too.

- Because, I knew that I could've gotten protection

or something like that.

I'd probably do an abortion

because I don't think I would be ready for it.

- And I definitely understand that.

- But I if you chose to keep the baby after all,

I'd be like oh I'm her uncle.

But then, also Vanessa, I'd feel like, oh well

okay if that's what she wants.

- Yeah.

- Did Everly's dad have a say in abortion?

- He tried to have a say.

At first he said abortion and I said cannot do that.

And he just kind of had to accept it because

as unfair as it sounds she was in my body.

I'm pro-life for myself, like I would never get an abortion

but I still think that other people should have that choice.

- When you found out that you were pregnant

do you think that people at school would make fun of you?

- Yes, a lot of people did.

People can be horrible, especially online

because you get to hide behind a screen.

I actually got, I think it was a DM and it said

"You're disgusting, you're a whore,

"I hope you die during birth better yet your baby"

And I just balled my eyes out.

I mean we called the police, we were so mad.

- Did people feel bad for you being pregnant, at 14?

- Yes, well they also kind of feel like

I'm a bad person because of it.

- I don't think you're a bad person.

- Thank you.

- You just made a-- - Bad choice.

I agree with that

- Were you kind of scared for when the time was coming?

- Yes, I definitely was.

I got induced, so it was more control.

There wasn't just this spontaneous labor.

- What does child birth feel like?

- Well if you got an epidural, it feel like you're pooping.

I got an epidural.

Have y'all ever heard of that?

Is that when they like, give you stuff and it

(laughs) - I don't know.

- Vanessa's like (laughs)

- It numbs you from like-- - Waist down?

- Here down.

After a while I kind of felt like I needed to poop.

So they checked me, they're like "Oh she's crowning,

"it's time to push."

- So then you didn't need to poop.

- No, I mean, I don't know if I did.

Some people poop on the table but I didn't even ask.

- Wait, can the baby come out with the poop?

I'm just asking.

- Talbot, that's gross.

- I mean...

- Like can you poop and have a baby at the same time?

- Probably, it's probably happened.

How old do you think you're gonna be when you have a baby?

- 37.

- 37, that's a really specific, I like that.

Do you ever want to give birth?

Like obviously when you're older.

- No. - No? (laughs)

- How much time do you have to take away

of your normal day life to hang out with her?

- Out of 24 hours in a day,

he's with me for about 23, 22 of them.

- So do you think you were ever missing out on anything

that kids your age would be doing because of Everly?

- I obviously don't get to go to the dances or stuff.

But it's not really my scene.

- You have a best friend or someone you hang out with a lot?

Or does your baby take up all your time?

- I still have my friends and I consider them my friends

and I talk to them and stuff.

But I really don't get that much time to hang out with them.

And I obviously can't text and Snapchat all day.

I kind of think of it as, I have to choose

between a bad mom or a bad friend.

And I'm a bad friend.

(laughs)

Do y'all wanna meet Everly?

- [Both] Yes.

- Hi princess.

- She's so cute.

- Aww I love her little, are those pigtails?

- Yeah they're antennas.

- Awww.

- I love babies so much!

- Wait.

(laughs)

(baby coos)

- No.
