selena gomez mother is so young

Selena Gomez's vow to remain pure until marriage was a choice she made to avoid the hardships her mother faced as a pregnant teen. "My mother had me at 16," she reveals in a new interview (J-14 via OceanUP.) Gomez says her stance on sex is "a promise to myself, to my family and to God... People say, 'She's trying too hard.' I'm not trying to be anybody but myself," she said.
