The mother revealed she discovered she was pregnant at age 14, while still at school.
Brooke met her partner in early 2020, at age 13, but became pregnant shortly after and gave birth shortly before her 15th birthday in March 2021.
The mother, now 18, decided to raise her daughter Aurora, now four, but it wasn’t always easy.
“When I got pregnant, I knew. I knew I would stay with my daughter,” she said in the post.
“My pregnancy was not taken lightly,” she added. “It was very difficult for me and everyone else.”
She revealed that she was not the first person in her family to become a teenage mother; Her own mother and father were also teenagers when they had children, as she revealed in her first YouTube video.
The couple prioritized caring for Aurora, with Brooke starting homeschooling so she could stay home with her daughter.
But the couple managed to escape and go to the ball together.
Brooke lives with her partner Jason Vaughn, 19, and the two have had another baby girl, now eight months old.
Despite loving life as a stay-at-home mom, she revealed that running school can be challenging.
In a recent clip, she said it was so “scary” to present herself at the school gates as a teenage mother when the rest were in their 30s.
And in a previous post, she told viewers not to get pregnant as a teenager like she did.
The clip went viral on his TikTok account @brookexaloura with more than 230 thousand views and 40 thousand likes.
People were quick to comment on her teenage pregnancy.
One person wrote: “Realizing this could be me this year.”
“Don’t let that happen,” Brooke replied.
Another commented: “Did you stay in school during your pregnancy or switch to homeschooling? You are doing a good job!”
“I switched to homeschooling,” the mother explained.
“Mommy, can you help me with my homework..? Sorry darling, I’m doing mine,” wrote a third.
