    A young mother who had her first child at age 14 and three others a few years later has gone viral after posting her story online . The 21-year-old said that people have called her choices "wrong" and irresponsible.

    However, the young woman, whose TikTok handle is @thatgirlllb_, has stood up for herself and inspired many others to share their stories.

    In a compilation video showing pictures of her children and pregnancies, she said: “POV: You became a mom at 14, 17, 18, and 19. In love with being their mommy!"

    The video has over 2.2million views and hundreds of thousands of likes. Many took to the comment section to compliment her, but others were harsher with their words.

    One person said: “Who plans to have another baby at 17? Morals be all type of wrong.”

    Another added: “Well I'm judging.”

    One person wrote: “Were they planned? After the first one wouldn’t you want to be more careful?”

    Another said: “What made you plan to have another baby in high school ? Were you not thinking about the future?

    Some also questioned who the father was and the woman responded with a comment saying that he had passed away. She also opened up about having a miscarriage and how her first baby wasn't planned.

    Many others complimented her too. A person said: "So strong beautiful. How are you able to afford all of them and continue schooling/a job?"

    The woman wrote back: "I work and I have a schedule planned after I have this baby for college. My mom is my number one supporter. She won’t let me give up even if I wanted to."
