25 would have been too late for me so could I go back to my 15 year old self and shout out 'don't do it, wait!!!!'? Life at home was awful and I was being bullied into leaving school and getting a job, any job, to help out financially. There was no thought or consideration of me and my future. By 25 I was a divorced mother of two children under six struggling to make ends meet in low-pay jobs. Like a lot of girls I thought marriage and children were the answer to my problems...so if someone had told me otherwise, shown me other options, I'd've been eternally grateful.
