I was a teenage mother, I'm always the youngest at the school gate, but I'm not ashamed of it
MOST mums want to look good at the school gates, but one woman claims she is constantly judged by other parents.
However, it is not Ebony's outfits that attract attention, but her age – with the young mother being the youngest at pick-up and drop-off.

While we may feel uncomfortable being judged on the playground, the Tiktok star jokes about her experiences on the app.
Instead of shying away from the issue, the content creator has hit back at critics with a tongue-in-cheek video about being the youngest mom on the playground.
She put on her best faux fur costume, all white outfit and big sunglasses, and walked to the school with her things.
She pouted at the camera, her long brunette locks peaking under the hood of her coat, as the mother-of-two looked flawless.
Ebony's confidence even shone through when the soundbite said, “Just another day of being a MILF.”
She then added a kiss emoji and repeated the sound clip, writing: “Just another day of being the youngest mother at the school gate.”
Despite now being 27, the mother still gets strange looks and the awkward situation is even made light of.
While the video was hilarious, it raised an important point about the intense judgment she's experienced since becoming a mother at 16.
Heartbreakingly, the now mother-of-two has revealed she faced similar criticism when she first discovered she was pregnant.
In a heartbreaking post, she admitted: “You've been judged for teenage pregnancies for years and always feel like you have something to prove.”
Continuing, she added: “I had to work twice as hard in all areas. But I never let my age limit my ability to be a good mother, have a career, [and] learn and discover who I was.”
Although Ebony has since become a successful dental hygienist, she admits that she wonders what her life would be like without teen pregnancy.
“You love your new life with your baby, but you wonder who you would have been,” the influencer confessed, revealing that she had even lost school friends because their lives were so different.
Despite being so young at the time, the content creator revealed that she is proud of her young family and how far she has come.
Not only has she built a career for herself and cared for her son, the now 27-year-old has also welcomed a daughter.
The couple regularly goes viral with their daily life clips, including an adorable video of the mother and her little one wearing matching Barbie pajamas.
Reflecting on her life over the past decade, she wrote, “I wish the young girl I once was could see the woman I am today.”
“All those tears and the trauma, it wasn't forever,” she said, adding: “In the darkest moments, I never thought life could feel so bright again… never lose hope.”
While some may judge her, we couldn't be more impressed with Ebony.
