Growing up as a mother

This is a real life story of a mother who was pregnant when she was 14. And without any doubt, she paid the price:
At 14, Anna Gurganus thought she had such "a humdrum life" she couldn't wait to get out of high school.
But that was before she became pregnant and married at age 15. Suddenly, any plans she had came to a screeching halt and school -- along with childhood -- became distant memories.
That was nearly 19 years ago. Now, at age 33, she and husband, Jimmy, have six children. And while they might be considered a success story for staying together, each member of the family has paid the price for being a part of a teen pregnancy.
