My Story

My name is Katie and I am 16 years old. I’ll start with the night when it happened. My parents weren’t home so I invited a few friends over. At the time I was 15 and got into drinking. So while there was a few people over, I got out the alcohol. That was the biggest mistake made. One of my friends who were over called a friend over and I ended up with several people at my house, I didn’t mind though. I welcomed them in and a boy walked in who I had my eye set on for about a year, He had a girlfriend though, so I layed off… Until this night. He had always been interested in me and he told me that him and his girlfriend had broken up. So that night we ened up having sex and the condom broke, but I thought nothing of it. After that night, I tried calling him several times and he never answered my calls. Oh well, I thought…. Until a few weeks later when I was a week late and had a positive pregnancy test. I was always the perfect daughter and my parents would never think that I would do this to myself, but I did so I took responsibility and told them. They were more supportive than I ever believed they would be. So I knew this guy’s brother because he was my soccer coach last year. I gave him a call and told him to have his brother call me and I told him why. I still didn’t hear from the guy, but his brother told me if I ever needed anything to call. I did end up getting a call from the guy a few weeks later, after I found out he was 18, not 17 like I thought, he dropped out of school, and he was still with his girlfriend at the time. He called me yelling at me because people found out about it. It’s not like it’s going to be a big secret. He yelled at me for telling people and then begged me to get an abortion. I had already thought about my options and abortion was out of the question for me. Anyways… After that call we haven’t talked. His brother has been calling me every now and then to check up on me, and his mom and sister want to talk to me and get things cleared up I guess. This is already very hard on me just knowing I’m going to be a single mom, but I have my parents backing me up 100% and letting me know everything will be okay. I am still planning on finishing high school [2more years after this one] and going to college. I know it will be the hardest thing in my life, but I guess you have to trust that everything will turn out fine.
