The story of my life doesn’t flow like what I planned for it to be. I didn’t even expect to be a mom as early as my age right now. Because when I was young, I’d decided and planned for these things that if I graduated from college with a good job waiting for me, I would help my parents in return for the times they raised me.
But now things have changed. I finally now realize that I can’t control everything. You can’t even predict what could possibly happen tomorrow…
When I was just a kid, I told myself I wouldn’t want to have a boyfriend. But when my mom left to work abroad and left us to my old-generation-minded grandma, I then started to rebel… My mom is the type of person who if you ask anything, there are always some conditions… Doesn’t it suck to think that for every ask you make, you’ll do something first before u can get it? My mom is very different from my father… My father has a wide and long patience… I love my dad..so much… He’s the person whom I run to when me and my mom had an argument or something. She would hurt me or something… It’s horrifying! But I get used to it… Oh… I nearly forgot to mention my younger brother who just turned 14 this day… He’s a mama’s boy. In our family, I was considered the black sheep. I just laugh when my mom teases me like that… I just fake a smile… But behind those fake smiles that I make, my heart bleeds… I’m not the type of girl who usually cries. I might be sensitive, but I got a lot of pride… My teachers even compared me to my mom, which made me eager to improve and excel more… Just to prove to them I’m just the improved her that they haven’t discovered yet. I love to study… Yes, I do… Cause somehow, that time, they were my inspiration… My mom just ignores my efforts… Cause she’s busy with my brother.. I respect those who respect me also…
But as the calendars were slowly torn… There were lots of changes that happened… I in my second-year life of high school started to get in trouble… I tried to try those things that should be avoided… Including those intercourses, liqueurs, cutting classes, going to school late and going home late, watching pornographic scenes. Sometimes I lack sleep and I don’t focus on my studies anymore… I wish I could fix it.. but I can’t… Having 5 boyfriends at the time… But not all of them get all of me… I still have some respect for myself in spite of my messes… Then Mom went home last year from Dubai… I tried to be nice even though I’m not that comfortable having her around the house…but she’s killing me! Before going to sleep, she always gets my cell phone… There are lots of house rules for me! Does this include not making over myself??!! Come on! And one time, when we talked to each other… She told me that my uncle predicted that I wouldn’t graduate high school. I’ll be pregnant, and that serves as a warning for me…
But now. Yes! You’ve predicted it right! Here I am now, a struggling young pregnant lady… Nobody is helping me except for myself and my boyfriend financially…
Hi, I’m 15 and I am not positive but I think I’m pregnant.
I don’t know where to get an actual test from to find out for sure and it’s like my stomach just isn’t the same. I’m very active, but right now, I don’t have the energy to do all the stuff like I used too.
Plz give me some thoughts.
I’m 19 and my boyfriend, the FOB (Father of the Baby) is 22. I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant.
I have been seeing the FOB for about 6 months on and off and have only known him for 8 or 9 months total. He’s a really great guy and is being really supportive. I have chosen to make an appointment to abort the pregnancy this coming Wednesday. I know a lot of people are very anti-abortion and I don’t want to be attacked for my choice. I plan to stay with the FOB for a long while and possibly have children later in life with him. I don’t think either of us are ready to be parents or have the resources without immense amounts of help from gov. funding to raise a baby. I guess I’m just scared and I need to talk to people who are in the same situation I am. I have not told anyone other than the FOB about the pregnancy.
With just the 2 of us knowing, it makes it hard to emotionally handle without the support of friends and family.
Heeey everyone. OK, so yah, almost 12 weeks now…
I told my parents and the dad. My parents were shocked, and said they would love me no matter what even though they were pushing abortion and aren’t talking to me much right noww… The guy, tripppped out. took off. Haven’t talked to him in a while. He wants the baby aborted too. But I decided on keeping it.
Holyyyy is this gonna be hard…
December, I found out I was pregnant with a lad I was seeing…
I thought the world of him. But before we met, he lost his job and was on the dole smoking weed,
but I always had hopes he’d changed…
When I found out I was pregnant, we were both excited. But then he changed, started worrying, and didn’t seem as committed!
My ex found out I was pregnant and adamant on keeping it. I was 19 and worked full-time with a caring and stable family behind me, even though they didn’t approve. They were happy, sometimes!
But my ex made me think of my past and that I couldn’t cope with a baby.
Gradually, he made me think I couldn’t handle myself, never mind a baby…
He promised he’d be there for me and we’d have a future with a stable life.
I believed him.
So at 17 weeks pregnant, I went to the hospital and had to get scanned and go through the mental and physical pain of something I’ll never forget!
Neither the father nor my ex wanted to know… I felt like such a horrible selfish naive person…
6 months on and I feel like I can’t move on. I’ve tried and still speak to the could-be father but I constantly feel guilty that there could be my baby next to me, full of life and for me to care for.
I feel lost, guilty, scared, and confused!! I have no idea how to feel, to be honest…
Here I am! I’m supposed to be spending my time in school… Enjoying stuff such as studying… Going out with friends…… Dating, drinking, etc…… But now, the result of being a rebel child led me to this situation…
Yes, I know it’s still early… I have the chance to abort my baby as others think just to protect their embarrassment. which was my own mother’s suggestion which made me angry with her. I don’t know why she wants to add my mistakes… I mean it’s a big sin to kill a child! Especially on my part, being a teen pregnant that’s not yet married… So I ran away from home… It’s my 4th time to run away but this time, my mom threw me away and told me “I don’t have a daughter anymore!”
I knew, at first, that she already knew that I’m pregnant… My boyfriend, whom I met on Facebook, (one town apart from each other) then we started to go see each other, was my baby’s father… I don’t know why of all the other guys whom I loved so much and gave my all. Why with hi, did I let myself be pregnant? I don’t even know him that much…
He’s 22 and I’m 15…Such a difference… I’m a minor and he’s not… But when I told him through text message bout my pregnancy, I told him slowly, not exactly straight to the point… I asked him “Do you like babies?” He told me back “Why? Are you pregnant?”… I replied… “No! Of course not!”… I refused at first… And he told me back “Alas! You must be sterile!”… And I thought he would want to have a kid… Then I told him I’m not yet sure if I am… But I’m gonna buy a pregnancy test for further assurance, but he told me “I hope you’re not so that you can continue your studies.” Then I swallowed a little bit hard… Then there it is… I am really pregnant…
Then I set a date for us to meet personally to tell him that I’m pregnant… He told me, why are your eyes hollow?.. I told him I’m pregnant… Let’s talk about this matter… Then we went to a restaurant and talked about this… He’s very calm like he’s not worrying at all… (One reason that I don’t want to marry him is because he told me I’m his 106th girlfriend. Think about it!). He told me that he’s gonna support the baby, but nobody should know about this. But how can I keep it? Sooner and later it will… Then we started arguing bout the baby’s name.. Well. What the hell! Why are we discussing it even though my tummy is not big enough… Damn… lol… But at least he made me laugh and forget all my problems…
But my terror and villainous mom always ruined our settled decisions… I thought we were already clear with each other that she’ll not help me with even a single coin…
Then and there, she threatened me that she will file my boyfriend a case.. a lifetime sentence, she added.. (What kind of mother do you think my mom is?) If she does… What will happen to me and to my baby if he gets imprisoned? I thought my mom is smart.. She still had her idiot and moron side… Now my dad in Dubai is very worried bout my situation… I think many of my relatives knew about the situation… As of now, we were just friends… We broke up… And I thought the reason was my mom… But he told me that he will support our baby… So risky life of mine… I think not all were yet ready to accept it…
But for me… I know God gave me this challenge cause He knows that I can do this…
