Not All Teen Moms Are Crazy

I was the original teen mom at a time when the only famous people in the UK were British royalty, some old male newscasters, Elton John, Duran Duran, and me, an eighteen-year-old pregnant talk-show hostess.

In my own way, I like to think that I challenged the perception of a teenage mother. The stereotype of a “teen mom” was a young girl who got knocked up because she made stupid choices, which was not the case with me or many of the young mothers I have met. I think it’s often more complicated than that, but anyway there I was, happily pregnant with the child of John Taylor—the man every girl in England wanted to marry. People were shocked that teen pregnancy could “happen” to a girl like me, that it must have been an accident. But make no mistake, my daughter was planned, and choosing motherhood at age eighteen is to this day one of the best decisions that I’ve made.
