Has anyone been bullied for having a teen mum?

Has anyone been bullied because their mother was in her mid teens when they were born? In a class of 30 are there likely to be many others with mums that young?

There were two teen Mums in my DCs primary class.

It’s very, very unusual at that particular school.

I know the Mums found it a bit difficult to make friends with the other Mums who were mostly mid 30s but the children themselves never noticed.

Every adult looks old to a child.

I was not a teen mum, but live in an area / send my child to a school where I am one of, if not the youngest mum in the class.
Both my kids seem to think having the youngest mum is a cool thing, if anything.

I was a teen mum and now have teens. Nobody has ever said anything, some kids seem to prefer it over having an ‘old parent’.

When they were in primary were you the only one or were there a few others in their class?
