Mollie was just 13 years old when she made a decision that would change her life forever.
The teenager had been living with her boyfriend Oscar’s family for after running away from home at 12 years old, when she started noticing changes in her body.
She describes it as a “relief” to learn that these changes were due to pregnancy.
"It was sort of a relief because I knew finally what was my body was doing... For a couple of weeks I knew I was pregnant, but we were too afraid to get the test done," she says.
Despite her mum and Oscar's dad urging her to terminate, the teen chose to have her baby and raise him with Oscar.

Falling pregant at 17 was hard enough. Magazines now seem to be normalising it and to what end I don't know. In other countries it does happen but those marriages are strange marriages and instead of leading the way to say hay, this is not right we are now saying it is? I'm not saying they should be bullied or ostracised! Though saying it's ok?! Is not either. We didn't have Facebook but stigma is stugma and it sticks and always will! Single young mums have had children taken from them for hundreds of years and it seems laws are now going backward. So please encourage young girls not to have them and or think twice. Even my niece who had a child at 16 and is now 24, says the same! Your mentality changes once you get past a certain age.
