I had a baby at 17, everyone made comments and said I wouldn’t be able to cope – they couldn’t have been more wrong
A MUM who had a baby aged 17 has hit back at trolls who assumed she wouldn’t be able to cope with being a young mum.
Naomi, who posts under the handle @bynaomib, took to TikTok and shared a video where she can be seen addressing a comment she received after telling people she was going to be a young mum.
In the clip, she says: “You won’t be able to cope with a baby at 17…”
The proud mum can then be seen miming to lyrics from the song “Naughty” from Matilda and says: “We’re told we have to do what we’re told, but surely…”
Moments later, her adorable daughter appears from behind her with a big smile on her face.
She then finishes the lyrics by miming: “Sometimes you have to be a little bit naughty!”
Naomi adds: “I’m now 23 with a five-year-old best friend.”
She captioned the post: “The best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
