I just turned 17. I am 5′ 5″ and standing at about 191 lbs. (slightly overweight). Like most teenagers, I am suffering greatly.
I was taking birth control since mid-March, but then I decided to stop taking it in the beginning of September. Soon after I apparently got pregnant. I just found out on October 20th that I am indeed pregnant. Thankfully, the baby’s father wants to step up and be a part of my and my child’s life. But he is having a lot of issues with his own life. He is 16 and recently got in trouble with the police. He has also participated in the peer pressure of smoking. I myself have chosen to live a drug-free life. I am currently being strung between my parents over the issue of child support money. Neither of my parents know that I’m pregnant yet but I’m close to cracking under all the pressure. I am starting to fall behind in school because I am constantly exhausted and cannot handle being under the demands of a senior year curriculum with the outside life I had from everyone. I don’t have many friends and I see my boyfriend as my outlet to everything. It is really bothering me how poorly I am treated by those around me and it is very depressing. I have struggled with issues of depression in the past because of my parents and their parents. I am trying my hardest to continue being strong through all the stress but it’s getting really hard. I am supposed to be taking vitamins at this point in my pregnancy and it stresses me out that I don’t have enough support to be healthy. I am hoping with everything within me that everything goes ok and that I can make it through it all. I am a wonderful person, but I am so withdrawn because of my emotional problems.
Don’t get me wrong because I am completely in love with my boyfriend. He and I got engaged in the 2nd month we were dating, but it ended 5 months later. After one month of heartbreak and agony, he decided he wanted to be with me again. We feel perfect together, but since he’s been making some bad choices, my mom has forbidden me to see him. This is another stress adding to my problems.
I have had my permit since last December, but have yet to get my license that was promised to me by my dad. My dad has a tendency to let me down a lot. I don’t know how to tell either of my parents because I know it will only get worse as they go to court fighting over my siblings and I.
That’s my life in a nutshell!
…I just recently dropped out of school. So I can attend a beauty school. AND I’M SO HAPPY with my decision!
Everyone is giving me crap about it…but I don’t care. It’s my life. And this is how I want it to be. I don’t care if I’m not going to get a diploma…or walk across a stage. None of that matters to me.
As long as I’m happy with my life…everything will be OK. I love life every second.
What more could I want?
I have a fun job
I have the most amazing friends and a boyfriend that adores me.
I can’t wait until I start beauty school. lol
I think I might be pregnant, but I’m not sure.
I’m about 3 weeks late, I think, but I could be wrong because I was on the contraceptive injection and when I came off it, my periods were all over the place so I’m really confused. Is it possible to be pregnant without getting any kind of morning sickness or sore breasts? I have other symptoms like I need to wee all the time and my breasts have definitely grown.
Can anyone make this any clearer for me? I’d be really grateful x
Hey everyone,
I’m new to this site : )
and I can’t figure out how to work it! it took me forever to figure out how to post this thingy, lol.
Can anyone give me some random tips?
Thanks!
Me and my friend were just sitting down in my room and the doorbell rung and it was a old friend that I knew and he came in and we just started to talk and he just started kissing me and I was saying in my mind I am a virgin and I want to stay that until I get married and I told him that and he said not today and he just started to take that was not his and I want to tell somebody what he did but I can’t.
So what should I do?
I’m in love. He’s my best friend. He’s my everything.
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 5 months. We are inseparable….haha. He gave me a really pretty ring that he saved his money up for and bout 2 months later….lost it…and I just got another one….the exact same one for our 4-month anniversary… He surprises me all the time…and just when I think I can’t possibly love him anymore…he surprises me again… Did I mention I love him? haha.
Well, ever since we got together….we’ve had baby names picked out… Ya, I know…but that’s the way we are together…Bella Rose or Damien Lee…ha, we never actually thought our day could come so soon…I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant… I can feel it …. We’re always safe…but I know things can happen… I have all the symptoms. I haven’t tested yet. My boyfriend and I are going to do that this weekend…and you know what? This may sound crazy but….we can’t wait until we flip it over and it’s positive… No matter how much my parents are going to yell at me… No matter how much people may look at me differently at school… I don’t care… I love this guy…and I love what we created together…at least what I THINK we created…hah… And if you think about it ….everything’s going to be fine…LOVE conquers all.
p.s. My bf calls the potential “baby”…Microbella….and I like to call it Tinkerbella…hah…cuz we hope it’s a girl…
Thank you for listening and I hope you all can understand… I really love how you’re all here for each other and I’d love to be here for you.
