Another tale narrates that as the teenager progressed further into her pregnancy, and later as son was slowly growing, the gaping and gawking did not ruffle her as much as before and people would tell her that she was not old enough to be her son's mother. However, when she spoke with people, they would always conclude by stating that she was nothing like the other teenagers who became pregnant.

Well, she was quite different from them since she attended a decent school, lived by herself, ensured that things worked out with her partner, looked after her kid, and discharged her duties, balanced three jobs, and she had her future mapped out.
