Megan Styles gave birth to her son, Teddy, at age 14, when her classmates were still stressed about homework.
Despite seemingly having everything stacked against her, Megan now says she has managed to create a beautiful life for her family.
She recently revealed some of the hurtful things people said to her when she found out she was pregnant, which only helped spur her on to create the life of her dreams.
Posting on TikTok, the young mother said people told her she was “too young” and that she would “regret it later in life”.
Some urged her to terminate the pregnancy, but Megan decided to resist despite the naysayers.
Now 21 and a mother of two, Megan and her family enjoy sunny holidays together and are happier than ever.
“Seven years later and we proved everyone wrong my boy,” she captioned the viral clip.
In another clip, the mom shared some of the reasons she loved being a mom at such a young age.
Being “the fun mom” is not only a huge bonus, but experiencing life with your child makes it all worth it.

After sharing her journey on social media, many people praised Megan for being a good mother.
One said: “He couldn’t ask for a better mummy! Such an amazing mother!”

“It can’t have been easy being so young, but that little boy seems to be loving life,” wrote a third.
And another wrote: “Being a father is not easy, congratulations on you proving that it is a matter of maternal instinct and not age!
“I was 17 when I got pregnant with my first child and I got all the looks and comments too.”
Responding to a comment, Megan said: “It certainly wasn’t easy, but I managed to escape the social worker before even giving birth and now living our lives like a normal family.”
What is the average age to have children?
According to Office for National Statistics, The average age for a woman to have her first child is 29 years old.
“The average age at which women in England and Wales have their first children has risen steadily since the 1970s.
“In 1970, the average age at which women had their first child was 23 years old. In 2020, it was 29.”
“People who start families later in life may be contributing to a fall in the fertility rate (the average number of children per woman).
“The total fertility rate was 2.4 children per woman in 1970. This has reduced to 1.5 children in 2022.”
