A WOMAN who got pregnant at 13 and was told by cruel trolls she should die has defied bullies with her impressive new career move. Maddie Lambert-Crowley, now 21, is mum to Everly, seven, and baby Ryder, who will soon be one. She has previously hit back at trolls who said she must be a bad mother for getting pregnant so young. Maddie dropped out of school after falling pregnant with her first child, but has now completed her first degree.

And this week she had an exciting update for her fans on YouTube about her career. Maddie shared how she has been accepted for pre-medical studies, with the hope of one day becoming a doctor. She said: “I've been registering for classes because I got accepted to my university—my dream university. “I literally did not pick any safe schools. It was the only place I applied to because I knew that’s my home, that’s where I want to be. I got accepted.

“I did get accepted, and I’m very, very excited about that. I just registered for classes, and I’m going to be taking Anatomy, Physiology, and Analysis of Scientific Literature. “I also had to choose between Embryology or Applied Molecular Cell Biology, and I chose Applied Molecular Cell Biology because it just sounded more interesting to me. “I also start classes in about two weeks—actually, a little less than that, maybe a week and a half. I’m kind of scared because it’s going to be all science classes.

“These are the kinds of classes that prepare people for medical school. “So for all the people who said I wasn’t pre-med in community college—suck my butt.”. Maddie previously spoke about her desire to study medicine, saying in a YouTube Q&A: “I've talked a lot about going to medical school, and I think that would be a lot of fun. I do want to go into medicine, but I've also talked to a lot of medical professionals.

“I've spoken with doctors, PAs, and NPs, and one of the biggest consensuses I've gotten is that medical school equals debt, and you lose so much time.”. Fans were impressed with Maddie, with one saying: "Congrats on being pre-med Maddie.". Another one added: "I've been following your journey for about 4 years and I am so happy that you went back to school and I'm so happy for you.". When Everly's father, Isaac, first found out that Maddie was pregnant, he was 15, and thought that the whole thing was a joke.

Isaac was not present at all for 10 months after finding out about the pregnancy, and demanded a paternity test before agreeing to be involved in his daughter's life. Maddie was furious at Isaac, and when the results of the test came back, refused to let Everly meet her father for a long time. However, the pair have now patched things up, and successfully co-parent their daughter. "People assume that I'm a bad mum because I'm a teenager, but I have the same capacity to parent as anybody on this world," she said.

"A good mum is somebody who drop everything for their child, and I dropped my whole childhood. "I do everything for that little girl, she's my entire world.". Maddie is now happily married to her husband Randy Crowley, and the pair share baby Ryder. The Texan revealed that before getting pregnant so young herself, she had always looked down on teen mums, due to "lack of understanding.". When she first found out that she was pregnant, Maddie said that she was met with a barrage of hate, from people telling her that she was ruining her life, and was even sent the addresses of abortion clinics.

People assume that I'm a bad mum because I'm a teenager, but I have the same capacity to parent as anybody on this world. One troll even cruelly told her that they wished she had died in labour, whilst class mates would constantly mock her in the playground. Instead of letting the hate get to her, Maddie made the conscious decision to "take it" and "shift it". "I said 'this is making my life'", she told Love Don't Judge.

"The hate made me want to do better, it made me want to show them that I'm going to be the best mum ever.". Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier.

Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn’t have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn’t be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens.
