life as a teen mother





Leana Delatorre was born on April 24, 1992 in San Diego, California. She is the second of five children from a single mother. Her father walked out on them when she was one year old. Her and her father never had a good relationship because of that. But deep down inside she still wanted him to be a part of her life. It was hard growing up without him because all the responsibility was on her mother. Her mother was very young when she got pregnant with her first child. She was sixteen and was a runaway. She started hanging out with the wrong crowd and started gangbanging. Leanas mother was still getting into trouble and as leana grew up she started to change. Leana looked up to her mother and wanted to be just like her but sometimes blamed her for daddy not being there .
Leana became a young parent too just like her mother. It was hard to be young and have to grow up so fast. She still wanted to go out with her friends and not have any responsibilities, But she didn’t let that stop her .she still fulfilled her dreams. She graduated from Lindsay community school in 2010 and became a probation officer. Leana is now living in point Loma with her daughter.leana is now setting a good example for her daughter and her daughter is a straight A student and wants to be a doctor.
