I mean I can clearly see why they were 15 with a baby and full of smiles. Do you not see their living space? Money makes everyone more comfortable.

Boy they’re lucky…that they’re parents supported them and are financially very well off.

“Teen pregnancy doesn’t have to be negative” that’s your privilege talking. You’re both INCREDIBLY lucky to have not only emotional, but financial support from your parents. Please recognize that you’re in an ideal teen pregnancy situation, and that it IS a negative situation for so many.

Olivia has on a Gucci belt and she’s a teen mom. Don’t see that often at all. That’s the only extraordinary thing about this!

[fleo]

Those teens don't have to support their child financially and have parents that would babysit anytime they wanted. If all that was taken away this would be a totally different story and those kids would be miserable.

[florjean]

Nothing extraordinary about privelged teen parents raising their child. Their reality would be starkly different if they were poor teen parents.

[Skorpia]

Money makes a HUGE difference!! Most teen parents are miserable, struggling the whole way. They need 2 jobs and its hard to pay for daycare or babysitters.

Teen pregnancy should NEVER be glamorized. Some teens just don’t seem to understand that babies are a lot of work. Plus, when you become a parent, it’s not about you anymore. It’s about the baby. Teens should just enjoy their teen years because they will never get those years back. Plus, they should focus more on their futures. It’s definitely better to wait.

[nahelmica]

There's nothing extraordinary about this. There's nothing glamorous with teen pregnancy. They were just lucky that they still have support, but not all that went through this have that 🙄😒

[mrtomyp]

Lol the dissapointment on the father's face is hilarious

[Jesussavedme]

I had my first baby at 16 I was pregnant at 15 an let me tell you it's life changing..it's really hard and you definitely need alot of support to get through it..if any young girls are thinking of having a baby it's not a joke please wait till your in your 20s to 30s!!!

[armymydaycaratnctzenatinyaroha]

No one is jealous. The baby is a good thing, it's the timing that is bad. Your body is not done developing and you put yourself through something so life altering. I'm glad your parents were supprotive but they had every right to be mad/dissapointed

[crystalcarter]

I was poor and got pregnant young. Didn't have the money or space or comforts. I worked hard to get where I am today and was a great parent

[leezee]

With Mom and Dads financial support everything is great in La La land but they don't have a clue what it's like to support a child on their own without anyone's help .

“You shouldn’t support teen pregnancy’s. You should support pregnant teens.”

[manal.daoudi]

The fact that they named their living breathing baby 'Lovelyn' already says enough about how mature they are.

[livylu]

Well, when kids get shows like these… What do you expect?
These kids still don’t really get it, because they don’t do anything on their own. They are still being taken care of.

[Jose-htlw]

They clearly have the space, money, and support for it.

[wordman]

Take away the parents' money for a couple of months and then we'll see how happy they are.

[chelseyboo]

The fact that she SMILED this whole interview shows how “hard” this was for her. Even talking about her getting pregnant….smh
