"Gladys Chandiru gets these scornful stares when she takes out Brianna, her two-year old. 'Is it your sister?' pwople ask the 18-year old. then: 'You're too young to have kids'. The reprimands get to Gladys, she tells me after her social studies class at Braemar. 'It makes me feel very sad. Sometimes I want to talk back, but i know its not going to help.' ( Scorn, Not Support...) "Mariah's been called a whore to her face many times. She tries to ignore bossy nurses and daycare staff who think she doesn't know what shes doiing, and puts up with irritated bus drivers when she hauls on her stroller. 'If i freak out, that doesn't help. People will just think we're emotional, that we'er immature.' By 'we' she means teenage mothers, who, even in 2011, face appalling stigma" (Scorn, Not Support.....)

' "Traditional cultural parents in sub-saharan Africa favour teenage marriage and parenting [4]. In Nigeria, cultural differences between the predominant Christian culture in the southern part and Muslim culture in the northern part of Nigeria has led to different patterns of teenage marriage and parenting [5]. The crux of the matter is how a teenage girl is determined matured for the purpose of marriage. In some culture physical development may be used while in some others it may be economic sufficiency. In Ekiti State, pre-marital sex is not encouraged culturally."

In conclusion you have to be able to understand and try to put your self in the other persons shoes first. You cant just judge them for the decisions that they make, You dont have to like the reasons but its how a person a can build tolerance.
