Campaign: | To tackle negative stereotypes about young mums |
I gave birth to my daughter when I was 20-years-old.
It’s something which completely changed my life, but I love being a mum.
Unfortunately, I think young parents often get negatively stereotyped by those who don’t think they’re capable of looking after a child.
People make certain comments or look at you in a funny way, which can be really hurtful.
My team and I are working with Fixers to show that having a child at an early age doesn’t automatically make you a bad mum.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:
